Bombarded From Aloft.

Regarding the part played by an aero
plane in the capture OF Yanina, the re-
port says:
"Details have reached here which show
that the Russian aviator, NJ. Sakoff, play
ed a not unimportant part in the taking
of Yanina. He left Nicopolis on BIZ
plane February 8, carrying six bombs.
At height of 400 feet he steered for the
forts surrounding the town. His machine
was assaied by artillery and rifle fire.
and two bullets struck the biplane, but
the parts hit were not vital, and the pilot
was able to continue his fight. Over Fort
Bezhani, which was the key to the situa-
ton, M Sakoff dropped his six bombs,
which did considerable damage and
caused a panic. In the course of his re-
turn flight to Nicopolis the airman sud-
denly discovered that his petrol was ex-
hausted, as one of the enemy's bullets
had pierced his reservoir. NJ Sakoff was
consequently obliged to descend near
Preveza for petrol and repairs. He re-
gained Nicopolis without further trou-
bles. The information that he was able
to give to the military authorities justi-
fed an immediate attack. with the result
that Yanina fell few days later

Many o good woman has persisted in the
belief that the girl herself always In
vited the advance which led to her fall,
until some horror invaded her own home
to show her Enthusiastically that a great
evil influence exists before which many
an unfortunate victim is powerless.
The knowledge now furnished by re-
liable statistics that the vast army of
a hundred and fifty thousand girls each
year is being sacrificed in this country
to the white slave traffic is only one of
the facts which are forcing the intelligent
women OF the nation to consider some
means Of checking this enormous waste in
human life. Women inStinctively know
the hearts of other women. and no good
woman in the world is willing to believe
that so large a number of her sister
women will. of their own accord, choose
life of wrong-doing.
The increased number of women en-
gagged in social work has brought about
an actual knowledge of the dark side of
life that only could be secured as they
made public conditions with which they
were being brought face to face. The
workers in the Young Womens Christian
Association, the volunteer visitors for the
Associated Charities, the organizers of
the working girls clubs. are brought into
actual contact with conditions which
when limited at a few years ago in some
reformers address were discredited as
hideous Nightmares.
Each year these woman sociologists
have personal knowledge of many inno-
cent young girls who absolutely are
tricked or KIDNAPPED and sold. without the
least power Of resistance. into the most
horrible slavery the world has seen.
Even the girls who apparently go volun-
tarily are subjected to influences which
only the women who have studied the So
cial conditions of a great city can pos
sibly understand.
Aside from the inhuman sacrifice of
these girls themselves. the modern wom-
an has the testimony of many reputable
physicians regarding the horrors Of the
diseases resultant from the social evil.
These now are so prevalent that no man
or woman ever can be sure of not being
exposed to them. Even innocent per-
sons may become diseased for life by
the handling of objects used by those
afflicted with one of these loathsome NAL
aides The danger from the public drink
ing cup is far greater because of these
uncomfortable diseases than the much
talked-of tuberculosis. Yet the most rigid
measures are being taken to prevent the
spread of the great white plague. while
the infinitely more terrible black plague
until recently has been entirely ignored.

SicianS, fully so per cent of the gynecO-
logical operations performed upon mar
ried women are caused from the fact
that their husbands had contracted some
form Of the social disease before mar
riage. Usually the women do not know
this. For centuries physicians have been
accustomed to deceive their woman pa
tents regarding their own ailments. 1t
is only through the entrance of women
into the ranks of physicians and trained
nurses that full knowledge of these
facts became possible to the average
woman Having this knowledge, it is
natural that every woman having
daughter should wish to protect her from
the possibility of suffering from this
source. For this reason. more than any
other. the women of the country are urg-
ing the issuance of a health certificate
before the granting of marriage license.
To large extent the club women of the
country are entering the crusade against
the social evil because they feel that it is
a legitimate part Of their work in the
care of their homes. few of the more
tating about giving direct consideration
to the question. But where, ten years
ago, few clubs would have considered the
words white slave" proper to mention in
a woman's meeting, now the great Cen
eral Federation itself has taken up the
matter. A committee upon the social
evil Is considered as important in the
up-to-date woman's club as that of child
welfare.
Many different plans are being made
to combat this great evil and each is like
ly to accomplish some good, but all COM
bined will be insufficient for complete
victory. The hideous canker has existed
for so long that years of active warfare
will be required for its eradication. but
at least the warfare has begun. A mighty
weapon Is to be the education Of the
| coming generation. Many victims have
fallen through ignorance, so a crusade
for proper instruction in sex hygiene is
| being organized throughout the country.
Women, through their clubs. are paying
physicians to instruct teachers of both
sexes upon the proper methods of impart-
ing to the children in their care the
knowledge which will enable them to pro-
tect themselves in future.

Some special evil stands out most
prominently IN every age, which. although
long existent, suddenly arouses dormant
consciences into such activity that Inn
mediate remedial action becomes impera-
Tive Women have been important factors
in such emergencies in securing the
remedy even before their influence was
as we'll recognized as now. The settle
ment of the slavery question was aided
largely by women, and book written
by woman has been credited with haV-
| ing the most influence In awakening
public sense of its evils. few years
after the abolition Of slavery the evil of
intemperance induced Frances Willard
and thousands of her followers to inaugu-
rate a temperance crusade which has
been worldwide in its extent.
| This time the enemy is secret one
and the more difficult to attack because
| until very recent times even the WORDS
"social eviP' had been mentioned by
| women only behind closed doors Thou
sands of women, well informed upon
other subjects, had no idea OF the mean
| ing Of these two words and the horrors
they represented. 1t was the one subject
| to which the pure minded women In all
ages have been expected to close their
| eyes and ears, In apparent oblivion to the
fact that their homes were being wrecked,
their sons and daughters ruined by an
linsidious evil of the very existence OF
which they were supposed to be in ignor-
ance.
| The modern woman Is drawer than her
ancestors and wiser, too. Her studies in
science and sociology have shown her the
truth and, having recognized this, she
is arraying her forces for the greatest
moral battle the world has known. Just
how this battle is to be fought, the length
of it's duration and the measure of it's
victory cannot be foretold at this time,
| but the feminine warriors are choosing
| their weapons with care and selecting
their allies with all the discretion at their
command.

vent her from exaggerating any condi-

any temporizing statements. The WON

things she was trained not to see. The
isolated cases of wrecked girlhood forced
upon her vision moved her to a great
lplty, but she did not inquire the cause.

tate herself rather than bury her under
the stones of everlasting shame. In
New York there is an institution, known
as Waverly House. presided over by

and the prison sentence awaiting her. In
Waverly House she is given a chance
to start anew But the percentage thus
rescued is so pitifully small-only 10 In
a year out of 5000 women.
The establishment of a greater number
of rescue homes for fallen women is
looked upon by many people as an i'm
portant aid in lessening the number of
lost girls. Those who have studied the
question most incline to the belief that
these have little result in checking the
growth Of the evil. although they occa-
.sionally help individual cases. The pos
sibilities of reform in the individual case
are small indeed. The real cure most
include an amount of preventive work
to protect them from falling into this
slavery.

million women are confined in this sort
of slavery, their life lasting from one

$4,000 girls are lost annually In the

ence of one or more refned women in
