ASKS WOMEN TO ORGANIZE
TO KEEP MEN FROM WAR
British Feminist, Now in Washington, Says 15,000 Austrian
Were Executed Because'They Refused to Fight
till 0 Stnff CorrrssoitdViii
Washington, Oct. 27. Moles who
cherish the belief that they are the pro
tectors of womanhood did not get their
Ideas on that subject from Mrs. I'eth
Ick Lawrence, English feminist, now
here"wlth some entirely different theo
ries and a peacock-blue nfternoon
gown.
During a lecture at the headquarters
of the National Women' party in .Tack
son place, facing historic Lafayette
Square, It was n debatable question
whether tho gown or tho talk hold great
er Interest for the 300 women who at
tended. Mrs, Lawrence burst upon the capi
tal In all her effulgence nt an Informal
ten given In her honor ns a nrelude
to the convention of the Women's
party. She advocated immediate uni
versal disarmament, organiratlon of
women and workers throughout the
world to end wars between nations
freedom of spirit, individualism of per '
sonallty, abolishment of police court
nnd. finally, the protection of men, who
she declared, are now unable to pro
tect themselves neninst the demands nml
have be.cn waive 1 In j sufferings of war.
All our lives we have been told men
were the protectom of women," Mrs.
Lawrence snld. "Well, nerhaps they
arc. They ate, to some extent nt lenst,
but there N one sense in which men
cannot protect themselves nnd in which
women must protect them. If civilisa
tion Is to be saved. That is in the pre
vention of wars through the mornl nnd
physical influence of women.
"When wars come men go whether
they want to or not; they are drafted,
thrust into uniforms, sent to camps.
'i i J i
Is no other alternative under our present
system.
"Hlght there Is where women, ndw
that they have the vote, can step In nnd
protect them. We occupy n privileged
position. Wo can raise our voices and
protest and we enn take action If we
will that will prevent the encroncb
ment nf militarism nnd ultimately end
nil wars.
"We have outgrown the provincial
ism and many of the ideas we cherished
before the world war. We have found,
for example, that a mother Is a mother
everywhere. She Is a mother, with a
mother's emotions nnd Instincts,
whether In England, In Germany, In
Austria or in France, and women arc
determined that nations shall find some
means of settling their differences other
than by shedding of the blood of their
sons. '
"There Is another war after the war,
of which you haVc, perhaps, beard lit
tle It In the war of disease and death
on women nnd children In Europe.
Eighty per cent of the children arc
diseased or starving:. Tvnhus Is taking
iltu toll in Poland end ltussla and Is
threatening the world. Tuberculosis is
taking thousands who survived the war
itself.
"Xet even now we hear talk of the
LARGEST OLD BOOK STORE IN AMERICA
next war, of bombs that WJit spread dls-J
ease and death among wnoio popula
tions, of explosives that will not oply
destroy human life, but destroy vege
tation over great areas. There arc
more than a score of separate wurs in
progress nt the present time, nnj one of
which Is liable to flare up and again
engulf the world, notwithstanding thnt
the nations nro bnnkrupt. Men ore
powerless to stop them.
"The hope of peace rests with the
women of the world and wlin the work
ers. When the women retime to sup
port wars and the orneia lay down
their tools warn will end and the na
tions will dwell In pence.
Mrs. Lawrence declared Great Brit
ain, although "by far the moat iu
peroim of the European nations which
went through the war," is unable to
pay her war debt.
Members of the National Women's
party demonstrated the knowledge of
& radical politics after the lecture by
iking Up a collection among the guests.
Hut the tea was excellent.
WANT GIFTS FOR CHILDREN
8oclety for Their Protection Appeals
for Dookc and Toys
The Society to Protect Children from
Cruelty hns nppenled for books, toys or
garnet suitable for children boys or
girls under sixteen var of age. This
organization has just issued an appenl
for such gifts.' It says:
"The society 4ias recently taken over
the management or the Temporary
Home, formerly known ns the Joint
Shelter, and wishes to provide better
recreation for the children who have to
spend several days In the home. Whole
some books for girls from twelve to six
teen years would be especially npnrc
ciated by the society .and would help
make life worth wille for tho children.
Any citizens who have such books or
playthings to contribute may leave them
nt the office of the society or send a
postcard notice."

"Tht Guarantee It

John Fitch, n clockmaker and lilverimith
of Philadelphia, invented a steamboat
which made a trip from Kentington to
Burlington. On the way back, however,
the machinery went wrong and the boat
topped forever, much to the chagrin of
tho inventor and the worthy citizens who
had inveated their savings in the new
enterprise.
There are many ventures that absorb
through failure the savings of unfortunate
inventors, but there is one that cannot fail
and that is a SAVING FUND that is con
ducted wisely and conservatively.

THE GENIUS OF WALTHAM
But there are
1 some of us who will never forget.
They, also, who go down to thp sea in
ships, have long 'memories. Let us
keep them company and take a " sight "
through the periscope of Time.
Darkness! The kind of darkness
that you feel. In the midst of the Sty
gian gloom, a little ship, one of Uncle
Sum's destroyers. On guard! Somo
wherc off the coast of France. " Some
where " is a good word for a night like
this.
Add to the black murk a cutting
wind with ah icy edge to it, a blare of
angry waters, and you get a mixture
you wouldn't like to prescribe for any
man's comfort. But war is only an
other name for duty. That's why this
little destroyer is smashing into the
thick of it. And doing a good job, too.
And somewhere aboard that throb
bing, panting, leaping ship is a clock.
"The ship's chronometer," the navi
gating officer calls it. But to gob
and officer alike it is a symbol of home.
For right there across its shining face
is a familiar name Walthnm a
name that is as much a token of Uncle
Sam being on the job night and day
as the good ship under them. But
that's the other part of our story
Time, in navigation, is as important
as the sun and the stars. A reliable
chronometer can always be seen in the
Chart Room, but the sun does not
always shine in the heavens. Small
wonder, then, that the chief officer of
a shit) is so finicky over this timepiece.
Hi $1) rds it, he watches it, he prizes
it, atjove all his possessions. It reckons
for him the sea-miles when he has no
other reckoning. It is the one friend
he can depend upon when the elements
league their cyclonic powers of wind and
fog and storm against him.
overcome as a United States battleship
stripped for action. But wait
When war was declared there were
not enough foreign chronometers to go
around. Here was the Amerjcan crafts
man's chance, for which he had hecu
waiting a long, long time. The Navy
Department, in the vernacular, was
up against it. "Chronometers! Oh,
for some chronometers!" was the
cry. So the Waltham Watch Com
pany was called upon. " Can you
supply the Navy with chronometers?"
"Certainly! How many?" The order
was given and with Yankee dispatch
promptly filled. Indeed, Waltham
eventually supplied more chronometers
during the war than all other makes
combined.
Then it was that the Waltham
Chronometer went to sea nnd shattered
forever the cherished tradition of
foreign chronometer supremacy by
standing up under conditions of war
that often put the alien chronometer
out of business. And they stood up
so consistently that prejudiced old salts
in verbal and written praise saluted the
performances of this American Keeper
of Time upon the Sea.
N'
chrono-fanciful
r(W the history of the
meter is more or less a
record of European supremacy. This
tradition of the sea had it that the
only reliable chronometer was one mnde
either in England or on the continent.
But many a tradition has been scrapped
by necessity, and this is one of them.
And any sailor-man will tell you that
tradition in the Navy is as hard to
FOR instance imagine an instru
ment keeping the closest time in
a subchaser, head on in a stormy sen.
Every unit of the little ship shaking
like a leaf. Straining, twisting, being
buffeted, beaten. Now, hurled to the
crest of a giant wave ; anon, plunging
like a stricken bird into a yawning pit
of swirling water; sometimes lifted
bodily, then crashed down like a toy
thrown from the hand of a giant and
every moment that delicately adjusted
but sturdy Waltham Chronometer tick
ing the fleeting seconds, unconcerned
except with the business of keeping
time correct time, for the gallant
lads who put their trust in this Watch
Over Time while they keep their
watch above or below deck.
This was the acid test. But when
we stop to think of it, Waltham had '
been preparing for over seventy years
for our country's emergency because
of Waltham invention in watch making,
because of advancement unto advance
ment in the art of developing time
keeping mechanisms, and those miracle
working machines that cannot he found
or duplicated elsewhere in all the uorld,
giving America precedence in this im
portant industry. This, webeliee. was
true preparedness; this was Waltham"'!
pride and honor, in vindicating the
sinew and ability of American Industry
in war's fiery challenge, as no less the
Waltham Watch has sustaiued Amer
ican supremacy at the great Expositions
in times of peace
m
WE should be remiss if we forgot
the mighty dead those sonv of
gci'iiis who labored long years in Wal
tham laboratories for the glory of
America, Charles an de Woerd,
Duane II. Church, Charles Whitney,
John Logan nnd others. "They rest
from their labors, but their works do
follow them." And no less those master
American mechanics, Marsh and Ohlsun
(tlif imentor of the Waltham Time
Fuse), who are still adding lustre to
the fame of the American Waltham
Watch all over the world
As Americans we should have lone:
memories. It is inspiring to jvxiew
the past. We hae much to elate us,
to help us "carry on," to produce
more and still more, to supply the
world with the work of our brains and
hands. For in labor, well and cheer
fully done, is our health, wealth and
happiness.
