WOMEN ORGANIZE ! FOR DEFENSE Guarantee That They Will Look After Their Own Safety; Up to Men My Ella AVheeler Wilcox ! Copyright, 1916, by Star Company. A new league has been organized |by American women. It is called j i The American Woman's League for I Self-Defense. its motto is: Ameri can Women First. lis object is to educate our women , to the highest standard of HEALTH t I'ITRtTY, EFFICIENCY. PROFICI ENCY, SELF-hELIANCE. TO I TAKE THE PLACE OF HUSBANDS! •AND FATHERS WHEN NECES-! j SITY REQUIRES IT. Its platform is NON-POLITICAL, NON-RACIAL, | NON-COLOR AND NON-CREEI). I Its founders are Miss Ida Ebsworth j Lowber and Mrs. E. Vandercook j Browne, its adviser is Mrs. Lee G. , Boardman and its secretary Miss Ida J Vera Simonton. Here is what one of its members has to say of the league, speaking of what war has taught woman: "It proves prii. arily t.hat women ; must depend largely upon themselves j for adequate protection. It shows 1 conclusively that governments, espe cially in cases of invasion, are pow- i : erless to protect their women while | their fighting men are at the front. 1 "It demonstrates that the women themselves are no match for the un healthy local rabble that—unable to j enlist—plunder and pillage when op j portunity offers. It Is a well known fact that weeks of prolonged hard ships foster a mental recklessness that destroys all decent sense of con i sideration and abnormalism precludes ] the better-minded in an invading army from shielding women from its own rampant self. Women Cannot Rely Upon Man to Have Her in Time of War. "Clearly woman cannot rely upon iman to save her In war time; she I must And her defense, as she finds her danger, solely within herself, j This emphasizes the necessity for the 'weaker sex' becoming, not the 'stronger,' but a 'strong sex.' Surely, if. it comes to finalities, a quick, clean, honorable death from a well-aimed bullet Is preferable to the lingering horror which comes of considering one's self innately helpless. "THIS ORGANIZATION POSI TIVELY IS NOT FOR. AGGRESSION, I 1 BUT FOR PROTECTION. IT IS I FOR REPULSION IN CASE OF AT ; TACK. We wish to enlist all the | women of America who are physically | I and mentally sound. We intend to I create regiments of trained, efficient | | soldier-girls for self-defense in case i !of need —powerful, resourceful bod- > ies of women, able not only to pro- j tect themselves, but those of their sex i who for various reasons are unable 1 to do so. "THIS LEAGUE IS A GUARANTEE : TO THE MEN OF THE UNITED STATES THAT IF THEY WILL EN j DEAVOR TO THEIR UTMOST ABlly- I ITY TO PROTECT OUR PROPER TIES, OUR HOMES AND OUR BE LOVED COUNTRY FROM OPPRES-' SION AND TREACHERY, WE WILL! | ASSURE THEM THAT WE CAN I PROTECT OURSELVES. "We desire to put this proposition i fully bef.ore the public In order that the drilling may begin at once, as every moment is of value. We urge the largest possible enlistment, be cause in this training we feel that we are not thrusting a burden on our : sisters, but are conferring a pro- I nounced benefit. "These preliminary calisthenics j will be followed by exercises and ! drills in the same order as those | I given to the male soldier. After i i these you will be instructed in in-1 I door bayonet drill, rifle and pistol tar-! I get practice. You will learn how to i point and aim, how to fire, clean and 1 I reload a rifle. j "Fair weather will see practice | 1 marches and women's military camps, i ; with all their active routine, Including ; range and field firing. You will learn gradually of sights and wind gauges and their adjustments. You will b> j | initiated into all the mysterious and ! j fascinating military detail which, when ' j mastered, spells a sure self-defense, j You will become eventually n self-reli 1 ant, splendidly developed, courageous | soldier girl, well able to take care of ' yourself and a dozen others. Large Department of Don'ts Heady for Use in .Silencing Mrs. Grundy. "To silence Mrs. Grundy and keep her busy we shall give her a large de partment of Don'ts. Chief among them will be the admonition. 'Don't talk too much. Don't be militant; be mili tary. Don't be aggressive; be concili j atory. Don't lose your head; other*l I may go with it. Don't shirk work, ! | and a hundred other 'to be's' and 'Not j |to be's.' Hers will be the task of keep- 1 ing well persons well and with her j ! dampening caution calming excitables j land quelling panics." | Eight women out of ten who be j lieve themselves to be invalids or senii | invalids would unquestionably be ! cured were they to identify theni- J selves with 'his Woman's League of i Preparedness. More than three fourths of the ailments which afflict | ; women are caused by lack of inter-1 osted thoughts, lack of. an alertness of mind, lack of exercise of all the j mental and physical organs of the [human being. Inertness, an unfocused mind, aim-1 less longings, lung cells going to waste through lack of deep breathing, mus cles of the body growing soggy through lack of proper exercise—these things are the disease producers. The Woman's League for Self-Protection, if it did nothing else, would prepare her for health and usefulness and activity in the daily walks of life. Join it.
