The old Irish Book Of Lecanv says
casually "for men and women went alike
TO battle in those days." and the record
Of tribal obligations called Hosting
reckoned women among the lighting
strength. Moreover, the life OF Abbot
Albanian Of Iona tells how he, hearing
OF this dreadful practice, went to Ireland
called an assembly Of chiefs and bishops
and persuaded them 10 pass a law, still
extant, entitled LEX innocentium,"
which forbade the sumoning Of women
to war. II seems likely, however, that
they still turned out Of their own free
will-indeed the practice Is not yet ex-

At the present day, in Europe, the

a very few years ago.-before Prince
Nichols had organized his army All
departments Of supply were left to the
wives and daughters; also the recovery
