No wonder so many frightened retu-
gees look upon the American army as
their deliverance from the hands OF a
brutal and inhuman mob.
The way a nation trents its women is
the mark Of its standing among the
world OF nations, and shows in an In
slant its state Of civilization or OF saw
agery.
.THB AMERICAN SENTIMENT,
Americans exalt their women as the
better part OF the nation, and render
them such true, devoted homage as
wOmanlSind receives in no other couni-
try In the world.
II Is not mere lip-service nor the shall

How fully do American women appre-

them to their actual cause.
WHERE THE BLAME LIES.
He will blame a woman's temper for

emblttered and sometimes almost de-

the great fundamental facts which con-

Should there not be more thorough
confidence and frank understanding be-
