NO Place for a Woman"

Rochester Union: In the Western
papers is published a story that is
hardly credible. But it bears proper
proofs of its truth, and we are forced
to believe it. Being true, it stamps
the regulations of the United States
army or at least the Interpretation
of them by some of its officers as
too rigid to be subject to considera-
tions of humanity. The story is that
of a woman, wife of a private soldier
who had been ordered from jefferson
Barracks, neat st. Louis, to Fort
Worden, Washington. AS no provis-
ion is made for the wives of private
soldiers, he was obliged to leave her
behind. The woman went into hys-
terics and when she left the hospital
in day or SO, was ordered from the
post by the commander. Lame and
i'll, she started to walk to st. Louis, to
find a physician. Falling again and
again, she finally became unconscious
and late that night was found near an
amusement park on the outskirts Of
the city, in grave condition from ex-
haustion and exposure. When the
commandant of the barracks was ask
ed about the matter, he said:
Mrs. Roper didn't belong out here
1t is her husbands place, not the
governments, to look after her. Pri-
vate soldiers are not supposed to be
married. She is very unfortunate and
we are all sorry for her, but the gov
ernment supplies no quarters or pro-
visions for the wives Of privates."
While this officer may be correct in
his statement of the law governing
the case, he is most deficient in the
humanity that should rule in every
case of distress. The boasted chivalry
cf the army indeed suffers a sad
blow by the action of this officer. Our
soldiers are not supposed by the peo-
pie to be wanting in consideration
for the unfortunate as the case shows
this officer to have been. Especially
are they not lacking in common cour-
tesy to women. The president of
the St. Louis Ladies of the Spanish
War Veterans had had her attention
called to the plight of the unfortunate
woman when the latter was taken ill
at the barracks. She was unable to
go there promptly, and when she did
go, was told that the woman had re-
covered and had been taken to the
city limits.
1t may be that the case which
makes such careful distinctions be-
tween officers and men in our army
had something to do with the mat
ter. Perhaps the officers did not
think the wife of a mere private
worthy Of consideration.
