Show :.;kn ix : p.ms: Think of ii! Women in-arms fighting the- battles of their country! The bkterr.ess and horrors of this war should be brought forcibly home to all civilized people by the action of women of France. When fighting becomes necessary it is assumed to be the exclusive province pro-vince of man to engage in the active fray. .And yet this frightful war has reached the stage where the women wo-men of Paris are recruiting a regiment regi-ment of soldiers among their own sex for duty in the field. ! Men are needed on the battle line, and this regiment of women soldiers will shoulder their rifles and convoy con-voy ammunition and provision trains, garrison conquered territory, and perform other field duty necessary in order to relieve men who are needed at the front. . Women in arms! Has the civilization of this world fallen so low that the mother of man must sink her sex and expose her fair breast to the mutilation of shot and shell? Must she face the hor rors ot the battlefield, the rigors of a campaign and the pestilence of armed camps in order that kings, emperors and fools may satiate their cravings for official murder? Women in arms! Is the lust of man for power so great that the sacredness of womanhood woman-hood must be brushed aside, her frailty trampled in the dust, her privacy outraged by the glare of camp life? God forbid! The patriotism of these women is sublime! It has few parellels in history. But what a disgrace to mankind what a blow to our blood bespattered civilization!
