THE WAR AND PEACE CONGRESS

sci, has gwen us n fleeing glimpse
Of the saYagcry Of the warfare around

sure that he revealed not a hundredth
part of the horrors of the situation.
Yet enough was told to show that to-
ward each other the combatants, af-
ter all has heen said OF their splendid
fortitude and courage. are lowered to
the level OF savages and brutes. Could
ANYTHING be more bestial than the
murky tale of the slope covered for
days with wounded soldiers, feebly
signaling for succor. while the foes
on either side callously let them per.
ish from exhaustion, starvation and
thirst? Admit that under the con
ditions. no other curse was possible.

yealed the essential harbarity Of war.

The Woman's civic Improvement
League Of Kalamazoo. Mich, has fin
ished its experiment In the way OF
showing how the streets Of the city

for prmission to take charge, through
the department OF health, for the
cleaning of Main street for three
months for a distance of six and a
half blocks, the city TO pay them a

enforcement of long-neglected ordi-
names. After the experiment had
been successfully concluded. a report
was prepared by Rev. Caroline Bart
lett Crane. who had initiated the
movement. The New York Outlook
editorially commends this municipal
work, which Is much more onerous
than casting a ballot. It says:
"This Kalamazoo experiment clear.
ly indicates what women can do;
what officials can do if they will only
go about the WORK in the right way;
and that the average community does
not so much need more laws, ordi.
nances, and regulations as it needs
the enforcement of those already on
the statute books. The local author
tiles OF Kalamazoo have learned their
lesson, as they have agreed to con-
tinue sthe good work begun by the
women"
The Outlook might learn its lesson
from the Kalamazoo experiment that
women are able to enforce laws with

A letter from an American woman
who was for a time shut up in Port
Arthur gives a curious account of the
effect Of the bo~mbardment upon the
large numbers of cats that assembled
on the roofs as soon as the shells be-
gan to fall:
Al each gunshot the cats arched
their backs and stiffened their legs,
and seemed both terrified and fu-
rious. Then when a kissing shell
arrived it gave the signal for a
frightful battle. They jumped at
each other like raging tigers, and
seemed 10 hold each other RESPONSE
bic for what was taking place. The
effect was 50 comical that We could
not help laughing, though the occa-
sion was not one to inspire gayety.
After having fought, the cats re-
tired for awhile. but as soon as the
homhardment began again they
went through the same business.
