GIRL STUDENTS
TOLD NOT TO
WED PACIFISTS
NEW YORK, N. Y., April 22.—The
girl students of the Tewksbury school
in Scarsdale, N. Y., were advised the
other day to refuse to marry pacifists
or m<»n with pacifist tendencies. Fur
ther than that, they were instructed
not even to make friends of such.
This advice was given by Mrs.
Henry A. Wise Wood, national secre
tary of the National Special Aid so
ciety, in an address. She said that
the existence of the war had brought
American women face to face with a
set of problems entirely new to tin*
women of this generation.
Speaker Defines the Coward
“In all recorded history,” she said
“there have been cowardly men who j
wished to be the protected ones and j
not the protectors. These cowardly !
men are against universal training j
and service because these things com- j
pel them to defend the country, as |
well as the brave men who are willing
to do it.
“The coward is a historical char
acter. Whenever there has been
fighting to do he has tried to escape
under some plausible name or other.
In England he calls himself a ‘con
scientious objector,’ and says he
should not be made to fight. In the
United States he calls himself a
pacifist, or a humanitarian, and says
he ought not to tight. Hut a coward
by any other name is a coward still.
Beware of him!
Make Pat riot ism First Test
“Always throughout life remember
that the man who will not defend his i
country will not defend his wife, his
child, his home. Do not marry such
a man. Do not have such among your
friends. Make the first test of the
young men you admit to your ac•
quanitance their patriotism. Carry
this formula throughout life. No
man who is not a patriot is to be
trusted with a woman’s welfare.”
