Lananase women In War

The women of Japan do not go out and
fight today as they have done on rare oc-
casions in the past. We had an empress
once who led an army into Korea and
fought at the head Of her soldiers And
even in the last century, when the Sho-
gun made his. last stand against the
mikado, nearly a thousand women and
girls belonging to families attached to
the Shotgun fought behind and upon the
castle walls, and many were killed
1t is different now. Only the men go out
But there is much left for the women to
do, and there is not a woman in Japan
who will shirk her duty. Not only must
she take care Of the family while the
men are away, but she must work for
the soldiers. Our empress herself is the
patron Of the Japanese Red Cross society.

The tragedy ACQUIRED on the street,
near the girls home Ore met her this
afternoon, and without a word drew a
revolver and fired. The girl fell with
a bullet through the head, dying soon
afteTward. Ore then drank carbOIic
acid and sent a bullet into his brain.
Ore and the girl were TO have been
married two weeks ago. On that day,
however, a rival appeared, who claimed
the girl was engaged to him. There
was a disturbance at the Blossom
home, and the girls parents begged
her to refrain from marrying Ore, and
the minister refused to perform the
ceremony. Ore was believed to have
gone to his home in Wisconsin, but he
returned day. In his pocket was a
letter from Addie Blossom, in which
she said she wanted to hear from him.
