I SATURDAY EVENING, HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH AUGUST 15, 1014. THERE'LL BE NO WARS WHEN WOMEN VOTE [Continued From First Pann] animated by the same protest, the same sadness, that men should take life so lightly, that civilization should, after all these years of constructive work, prove to be so thin a Aim over barbarity. "We feel an Imperative need for ex pression at this time when the hor rifying spectacle of a world engaged in slaughter fairly unhinges reason." said Miss Lillian D. Wald, the parade chairman. "It may seem like a feeble thing for us to come together to pa rade against such a thing, but only woman can strip war of its glamor, its out-of-date heroisms, see in it a de mon of destruction and hideous wrong, murder enthroned. "By our parade we shall be reaffirm ing our belief In the righteousness of peace and the practicability of arbi tration. We shall be stretching our hands across the water to the men drafted Into service, to the mothers and wives and children who are the final victims." It is believed that the women will ask the President to call all neutral | nations to unite in stopping the war. They will issue a woman's proclama tion that this war m~y well be the death knell of Christian civilization. I for if the nations of Europe bleed each other to death the way will be open j to the yellow peril, oca I Women Quizzed With Unanimous Result Prominent women of this city to day declared if they had a voice in the i declaration of war there would be no wars. Mrs. Lyman Gilbert said: "If I had a vote I would declare for peace al ways. War is as Illogical as a street fight. In this age all matters of dis agreement should be arbitrated." Miss Helen McFarland, who is at Eaglesmere, said in response to the long distance query: "Should women have a voice in declaring for or against war?" responded. "I read in the paper this morning that with every male person between the ages of 15 and 50 drafted Into the army, and with food prices soaring away above the heads of those even comfortably situated, Austria-Hungary faces deso llatlon, starvation and misery. Surely there can be but little less suffering] in other countries; even in our own Central America. This winter cannot help but be one of terrible hardship for the mass of people who must bear the full burden of the crisis in the enormous increase "in the rost of the actual necessities of life. With babies already dying, cholera plague being deliberately started to affect whom it will—men, women and children —what woman lives but would raise her voice against war." Mrs. Elizabeth liunkel said: "Be cause the burdens of life fall upon wo men they should have a voice in dec laration of war. Devastation left by war is felt most by women whose sup port is taken away." Mrs. Gilbert McCauley, regent of the D. A. R.: "1 believe that it is only just and right that women, who suffer so much through war should have a voice in the declaration of war. This could only come through suffrage. I have taken no definite stand on the latter question, although I believe it Is com ing. The voice of women would be unanimously against war." Mrs. Thomas M. Jones, regent of the Daughters of 1812, said when the same question was put to her: "War is a matter that affects women vitally. At a moment's notice their husbands, brothers and sons are ordered from home to kill—perhaps to be killed. The money-earner is removed and on women during wartime falls the bur den of sustaining the home. They must reap the harvests, till the soil, keep the wolf from the door and also pay taxes for prolonging the conflict which they do not understand and which they abhor—for It must be re membered that the great mass of any army is composed of men from the working class. The women whose hus band has been sent to the front must do this work in addition to her own —although her heart be breaking with anguish. When peace comes even tually. the women are either left wid owed or with husbands weakened by the awful hardships through which they have passed. They are no long er able to be the chief wage-producers of the family. For an entire genera tion their families must pay toll for the war which they had no part in de claring and no power to prevent. A few months since one foreigner in Steelton killed another. That was called murder. Had the same man killed his victim on Austrian soil dur ing the last few days, it would have been considered glorious—at least by those whose ambitions have plunged , three continents in bloodshed. Women, however, the world over still call such I deeds murder—and they decline to I recognize any such thing as legalized I murder. In every war that has ever | been declared the chief sufferers after I all are the women; therefore they .should crtainly have a voice in saying whether war shall or shall not be I waged." Mrs. Frank Rell, when interviewed, expressed the belief that women should have a voice in determining whether or not war should be de clared, which could only come through the power of the ballot. The question of war Is, she said, of course, not referred directly to the people, but as one of the reasons for war is prepara tion for conflict, the vote of women would be the most potent force in promoting peace and the arbitration of International disputes, because the money in war i-hests the world over would be spent in bettering living, educational and moral conditions. Dr. Maud Conycrs Kxloy save her views of the question from the stand point or the medical world hy saying: "If any class of men he destroyed hy any force they leave no offspring and their line ceases, and the men who are chosen for army service are above the average of their fellows in physique and fitness. The call is always to send forth the best ye breed.' With the strongest and healthiest on the battle fields, a large number of unfit, for one reason or another, are left to carry on affairs and the human race. Those who are left make history for the fu ture; and alas in the machine warfare of to-day it is not the fittest who will survive, as in time of hand to hand conflicts. A noted Frenchman has said that it will take long periods of peace and plenty before France can recover th tall' Btatures bowed down in the wars of the republic and the first em pire. In Europe the military limit has had to be lowered from time to time. Illustrating the truth of what Benja min Franklin said: 'Men do not pay for war in wartime; the bill comes later.' Women bear the men who are destroyed, so that their relation to war is more intimate than would appear to an unthinking person. She, more than man. knows the cost of hu man life —for she pays the first price. The bringing Into life of a human being entails upon woman months of anxiety and physical endurance. It Is easier to destroy life tjian to create it and it is natural that women should have an Instructive antagonism toward the reckless destruction of that which, at so much cost, she has produced. Unquestionably an agitation on this question among Harrlsburg women would result in but one verdict.

PANAMA CANAL IS OPENED TO TRAFFIC [Continued I'rom First I'age] to give the canal a full test with the ship drawing Its full depth of water. The Ancon passed through the Gatun locks without a hitch In seven minutes. The total lift at these locks Is elghty tlve feet. Waterway Free and Open to Nations of World By Associated f'ress Washington. D. C.. Aug. 18. With the passage through the Panama Canal to-day of the steamer Ancon, the great waterway becomes "free and open to the vessels of commerce and of war of all nations on terms of entire equality," in accordance to the provisions of the Ha.v-Pauncefote treaty. Vessels drawing not more than thirty feet of water may now make the pas sage. It would be possible to put some of the big American dreadnoughts through at any time. Any of the for eign warships now in the Atlantic and Pacific waters could also make the trip, but the naval plans of the European Powers which have vessels oft both coasts of the United States are not known here. No embarrassment will face the I'nited states should one of the ves sels of the belligerents seek passage. Strict rules are laid down in the treaty for the perpetual neutralization of the canal and every detail will be under the direction of Governor Goethals and his staff. Except In cases of absolute necessity, vessels of belligerents must make uninterrupted passage through the canal. They may not coal, revlctual or disembark troops In the canal zone, and these provisions also apply to the terminal waters at both ends of the canal within a limit of three miles. Twenty-four hours is the limit of time a belligerent vessel can remain within the canal, except In case of dis tress and a vessel of war of one bel ligerent cannot depart within twenty four hours from the departure of a ves sel of war of another, belligerent. All of the plant and establishments that are part of the canal are immune from at tack or injury by an belligerent. Vigi lant American pilots will see that no foreign vessels make observations of the canal defenses. The principal work remaining to he done In completing the canal is the deepening and widening of the channel through Culebra cut as well as exca vation operations at both approaches.
