plement what Providence had failed to

in the future of the United States a. half
dozen declarations. England could
hold her empire by the power of the
sword but where was the sword in a
democracy Let us suppose, as Mac
aulay seemed to anticipate, that the
limited States should have accepted the
Southern Confederacy. If independ-
ence had been conceded to the South
after Observation-Disclosures the darkest

lines of separation would have been
drawn through West Virginia, with
the Rocky Mountains as a western bar
rier. The French would have held the
Rio Grande. Canada would have been
a neighbor in arms.

In the event of an outbreak with
Spain positions in the army will be
open to many women, the number of
course depending upon the extent of
the struggle. During the late war
hundreds Of women served in many
capacities with relation to the army,
most of them as nurses, some as spies
and others as purveyors, laundresses,
etc.
Should a great war break out the
hospital corps of the army would have
to employ great number Of women
nurses. Secretary Alger would prob
ably appoint an experienced woman as
superintendent OF nurses. In 1861, at
the beginning of the civil war, Secre-
tary of War Cameron appointed Miss
Dorothea Dix for this duty. She Of
fered her services without compensa-
ton, and nurses selected by her were
found upon every battlefield from Bull
Run to AppomattoX. They were in
every Union hospital.

Miss Alice Wilmerding, a grand
