Women And
By Grace D. Brewer.
Woman and war! These two
words refuse to blend together.
Their very sound is antagonistic.
They convey altogether different
ideas and call to mind pictures
very much unlike.
When we think of War we do
cot in our mind’s eye see an ar
my of women marching to meet
an army of women, armed with
deadly weapons, with which tb
n:a:m and kill each other.
But when we think of war
ihere comes before us a mental
I icture of sorrowing womankind.
War crushes and destroys all that
is dearest to a woman’s heart.
AVhenthe war cloud hovers over
a nation there is not a woman
but shudders
The tribute demanded of wo
man by war is the heart’s blood
of her fair sens; the father of
her children, her home and all
that makes up life for a woman.
Think of the thousands of sor
rowing wives and mothers in the
war beseiged countries of Europe
today! Had the mothers of Ger
many’s soldiers had an opportun
ity to decide whether or not there
should have been war, think you
their answer would have been
the same as the Kaiser’s?
If the mothers of France, oi
Austria, of Servia, of Russia had
been asked what Should be done
with the international misunder
standings that seem to have ari
sen, would they have said: “We
v ill put our strong, promising
young sons and their fathers in
to the arena of battle and let
them fight to the death and thus
determine how- these questions
shall be settled!
But woman's agony does r.ot
cease when war ceases. After
the fast-moving world has for
gotten the victims of a bloody
conflict in the rush of later e
vents, in every home from which
a soldier went to return no more,
the mother, sister or sweethhart
carries a heart wound that noth
ing heals.
The wives arid mothers of Ger
many’s soldiers must feel in their
own agonizing hours, the rack
ing heart pains of the women of
Belgium. The women of ail these
different European countries now
involved in war have never had
a quarrel With each other. Never
would they have ordered their
own sons and husbands out to

On Cleary.
Chas. fl. Dittmer, the Cleary
mining man was in town during
a part of the week on one of his
periodical visits. Mr. Dittmer
states that the mining situation
cn Cleary is excellent, excepting
that a water shortage is being
felt iri some cases,
kill the sons and husbands of the
wcmen cf another country, they
all suffer together. They are en
veloped in Clouds of misery, of
mental agony rod bodily prin
They are victims of their war
like rulers who, drunk with their
own power, consult not the feel
ings of their subjects, least of all
the women, when they embark
on a murderous mission, the like
of which has never been known
in the history of all the World.
