The Woman Doctor.
From the Metropolitan.

rom the metropolitan.
They tell US now that We are the
fighting sex. Why have We been SO
long? Ardent. beautiful. sweet as a
nut. with her nut-brown eyes under lids
like pointed white flames. with her rip
pling wing of hair in the same sweet.
hot tones. with her tall grace and
grave glance and white, expert, sensi-
tive hands-the scientists hands which
take account Of a hair-why is she
here--this mountaineering over her
tubes and TASKS and rniscroscope in
stead Of In drawing room. with bowls
Of white hyacinths at her elbow Why,
open to women. are 10000 practicing
in this country alone? Is it because We
are tired OF lgnoi ance in pity?
If there were no other field for Wom-
an doctors, unmarried mothers would
make place in the world for them.
II there Is any psychology of sex. or
sex antagonism, or siste. hood among
women. or any of the other things we
talk Of so gayly in our search to get
at the truth about men and wome.,,
surely it Is easier to look into q
woman's eyes than into a mans when
you hear that you are to undertake
motherhood outside the plan society
has for this service to il.
Il am woman myself and l know
what you bear"-the eyes of the wom-
an doctor answer to those others
which meet hers in their first startled
comprehension.

200, 900 TROOPS BATTLE,
NOT ONE TO BE SEEN
French Minister Describes Artillery
Engagement Between the Allies
and Germans.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PARIS, November ST found my
self upon an eminence dominating the
field of action" says a cabinet min
lister who is quoted in the Figaro. Just
after his return from the front, in de-
scribing an artillery duel Of which he
was witness. THE battlefield ex-
tended" he continued. many kilo-
meters On each side 100000 men were
engaged. And In this immense pan
Drama you saw no one-not French
soldier, not a soldier Of the enemy. not
a battery, not a horse.
The cannon thundered. A sharp re-
port, a puff Of smoke. which quickly
disappeared. That was one of our
'75's'. A heavier detonation reverberat-
ed. then a cloud of thick smoke In one
corner of the battlefield. That was
one of the heavy German guns.
Then silence, silence absolute.
And the desert.
In the air. balloons which directed
the fire of the batteries, concealed In
the woods.
The 100000 invisible men who took
part in this action were hidden under

Taxicabs in Warfare.
From the Engineering Magazine.


In the present great struggle ON the
European continent motorized military
equipment is being used for the follow
ing purposs: Transportation Of troops,
and commissariat. For these purposes
passenger cars, which have been COM
mandeered in large numbers from pri-
vate owners by France, Germany, Eng
land and Austria (and from a number
Of American tourists) are being en-
ployed. as well as subsidized and re-
Questioned motor trucks. In France
and Germany private use of motor
trucks has almost ceased. SO sweeping
has been the demand of the govern
ments-a silent tribute which bespeaks
more than words their appreciation of
the incalculabie value of motor trans
portation. The mobility of the armies
Is thus three times greater than dur
ing the Franco-Prussian war Of 1870,
as the rapidity of movements of the
German and French armies has proved.
More than 900 Paris taxicabs. 1t is re-
ported, are engaged In troop transpor-
tation. while several hundred Paris mo-
tor buses. which have been fitted with
hooks on which shoulders of fresh
meat can be hung. are alternately car
rying comabtants and carcasses Of
meat.

Our Kingfsher.

, The kingfAher is royal bird and
the unclaimed April streams it's rat
Ting cry is heard rising above the
noise of tumbling waters. Along the
banks of the same stream in the heat
of summer the bird still cIamors. The
kingfsher dashes by, and then stops
suddenly in midfight and hovers light
ly over Il pool. 1t plunges for its prey,
and in the splash of the waters there
is L thought of coolness, which tempers
the heat of the midsummer day The
kingfsher is as much a part of the
scene and of the wfldness of 1t all as
are the trees. the rocks. the stream and
the clouds.
The water and u share of it's inhab-
itants are the heritage of the king
fisher. but man is jealous of the birds
birthright and wants it all for his own.
In many of the states the protection
of the law has been withdrawn from
the kingfisher because it daily catches
a few fish in order that il may live
Men who urge legislation of this kind
are the men who catch their scores of
fish in Il day. and then pose for their
photographs. with their kill given d
prominence only second to that occu
pied by their precious selves. This
pot-hunting enemy of the kingfisher is
the fellow who grieves dairy tnat the
law prevents his dragging seines and
dynamiting streams in order that h.
may satisfy his gluttons desire for
slaughter.
In the verse of Maurice Thompson
there is an invitation to go to the
Pc 2aunts of the kingflsher. Are they not
worth visiting? Read this:
His palace is tine brake
Where the rishes sh and shake:
His music is the murmur Of the stream,
And that ieafrustie where the lilies dream.
Such life his would he
more than heaven to me:
All song. all bloom. all Happy atber
All joys bound In a sheaf together.
. Persecution has not weakened the
fearlessness of the kingfisher. II is q
shining mark, but it boldly asserts its
claim to the fishing preserves of its
ancestors. primarily. perhaps, resting
its confidence on the belief in the for
bearance of its fellow-sportsman. man
"a confidence that is too often abused
