Bertha Won Suttner, who received
the Nobel peace prize Of 1906, lectured
In 'Kristiania a few, days ago, and sh9
was introduced by Bjornson, who said
in part: 1t cannot be\ denied that the
cause of peace is chiefly a. woman's
cause. 1t is an unnatural condition,
an upshot of almost abnormal unwom-
anliness when women become enthused
over war and warriors. A woman
shrinks back from brutality, and war
is an education in brutal theories and
brutal acts. The cause Of peace will
surely be recognized as wOman's cause,
as Gladstone's peace policy has been
called woman's policy, as over against
Bismarck's war policy, which is male
policy, the mans policy.
