THE INFLUENCE OF WOMANKIND
While the present attempts nf the
International Congress of Women, now
convened at the Hague in an effort to
bring about pence between the warring
nations of Kitrope, will probably lie
barren of definite results ill so far .is
the present great conflict is cone, rood,
the tremendous protest whidi these
women are voicing in the interest of
humanity cannot fail to have an ap
preciable if not itu overwhelming in
tluenco on the future conduct of na
tions and may even result iti bringing
about conditions under which war will
be resorted to onlj in the event that
every other possibility of adjustment
of international relations has failed.
The women composing the Congress,
of which the celebrated lane Adams is
the. presiding officer, are drawn from
tile most influential circles of the na
tions represented, which include nearly
all the more advanced nations of the
earth, nl tlie majority of cases the
delegates themselves an-, women who
are, largely because of personal at
tainments, capable of exerting a tre
mendous influence on the affairs of the
nations they represent, and are Hitts an
immense power lit themselves. In ad
dition, in voicing this protest to the
world against the settsless slaughter
and cruel inhumanity of war, these
women are hacked by a considerable
percentage of the womanhood of their
own land the most of whom are drawn
from among the most advanced and in
fluential classes of society and are
usually more or less talented, cultured,
and capable.
The women of this class because of
social position and influence add still
further to the strength of the peace
movement which is designated to em
brace the entire female population of
every land. J.ed by gifted and capable
leaders, it is difficult to tell, in the ab
sence of prior demonstrations, just
what the womanhood of the world
might accomplish when united and an
imated by one universal aim and de
sire.
The influence of the women on the
affairs of men and nations has received
age-long acknowledgment. “The hand
that rocks the cradle is the hand that
rules tlie world," has long voiced tlie
sentiment of mankind in this respect
and gives ample testimony to the pos
sibilities which women may develop
when united in one common bond and
with one common purpose in view.
And in this matter of securing the
perpetuation of peace, the motive ap
peals to the most sublime of all human
I
a/
| instincts, the love of a mother for her
child The Womanhood of the world
are fast coming to the realization that
aside from the countless woes inflicted
•n humanity generally through the
the agen- ies • »f war. it is th«*> them
selves. who arc compelled to bear the
weightiest portion of those awful trage
dies which are at Intervals thrust upon
the world. Tt is their sons, “bone of
their hone and fl» sh of their flesh,” that
are nffered in sacrifice to the war gods
lust, and bleed and die amid the furious
hail of shot nnd shrieking shells on the
blood soaked fields of carnage. It is
theirs to endure the agonies of a
thousand deaths, while waiting during
tlie intervals when battles are fought
and won. for the son or husband,
father or brother, torn from their arms
to face the grisly death lurking in the
» a niton's fiery breath And they also
realize that it is they who must feel
the pinch <>f want and phvsicial misery
f»»llo\ving in the track of war anil in the
end must shoulder more than their
share of the burden in the period of up-'
building and construction following the
resumption of peace.
The women know these things Know
too, that for them there is no rocom
• use for the sorrow, the want and the
misery they are compelled to endure
while war's grim game Is being played I
irid for long years after The cheers
• •f victory-, uni the flaunting march of
| triumphant armies to them are barren,
‘senseless things. The sound of the
trumpet proclaiming victory f«>r the
marching hosts can give no elation to
'the heart vet Heeding cruelly from the
wounding sting of death To them it isd
nothing and it is small wonder that
[ihev are about to rise with- one tro
! mentions impulse in an effort to banish
! forever this awful thing which tears
j from them all that life holds dear and
which in return for all the heartaches
nd suffering they are compelled to en
dure can give no greater reward, no
further recompense than that it re
turn again that which it took away.

SALMON MENU A MARVEL
Shortly after the steamer Alameda j
{ sailed south from Cordova on her last I
’•in Sainton da\ was observed Man hi
1*2 Chief Steward S Sanders prepared
for the deration and rnnd£ all passen
gers aboard feel glad that Alaska was
a salmon country. Cor dinner on Mar.
12th he served Alaska salmon in every
imaginable style, which included « an
pe of smoked salmon Cape Prince of
Wah'S salmon chowder. Risque of Co
lumbia river salmon, Metlakahtln Sal
mon a la I lojlandnise, Skeena river sal
|mon croquettes. ley Straits salmon a la
! Chester!!' Id. Petersburg salmon curry
| with rit e. Takn harbor salmon patties,
j naked llristo] P.a\ salmon. Mile f»5 sal
! mon cutlets on mayonnaise an salmon
salad. These various dishes were pre
pared in tin chef's best style and the
passengers are said to have declared
that they never before knew that
many appetizing uses to which salmon
• onhi he put. Tin hill of fare was
unique, being in the form of a can,
printed in gold and red, with a largo
fat salmon, in colors, jumping from
the water forming the frontpie.ee. In
side the bil] of fare the list of south -
bound passengers was printed in gold,
with the flag of the Alaska Steamship
Company in black and red. Altogether
it was one of the most attractive menus
[ever presented to Alaska travelers and
I reflects great credit upon the very pop
ular and excellent chief steward. Mr.
S. Sanders.
