wOMAN's AUXILIARY ORGANIZED
Some one recently said, There is one
thing woman cannot do, one place TO
which she cannot CO." and that Is to war"
But he knew not Of what he spoke.
He knew not the capabilities, the aims
and ambitions Of the modern woman whom
he made bis Ill considered assertion. We
man is going to war!
The newspapers have been printing COL |
lmns and columns about the National |
Guards but until within the last week |
nothing has been said about Its auxiliary |
corps, composed Of the mothers, sisters,
wives and sweethearts Of our brave citizen
soldiers.
The bravery Of women on the battle
field has gone down through the annalssf
history, and Is 1t not natural that at the |
present moment, whom tho whols country
10 imbued with the war fever, tho women
Of the United States should prove them
selves equal to the occasion, and should
answer the call 10 arms by standing forth
rendy to do their duty as they havo always
lone 1t In the past.
Therefore one Is not surprised to learn
that the women OF Wilmington have Or
ganized an auxiliary corps to the National
Guard, and are busy preparing to DO Of
actual benefit to the citizen soldiers called
10 the front. Tho ladies Interested per-
'ected organization Saturday afternoon,
out another meeting Is fixed for this after.
loon al the Y. NJ. c. A. Mrs. j. II. Mill.
gan Is one of the prime movers and she is
'nthuiiasto over tho part Wilmington
women are to take She said the other
aides OF the squadron are working most
arnesty in the movement. The object is
o follow the guards as close as possible to
upply all necessary comforts and delica-
les and to look after their spiritual and
ocinl welfare. The movement Is therefore
ne to be commended and to be joined In
" every mother who hus u son about TO
