 ssMen Of the families of our leaders in IS countries are at the front We learn that the homes of some are now hospitals for the wounded and all European suffrage headquarters are transformed into relief stations. These women tell us stories of suffering, want, destruction of property, disease. atrocities and brutal attacks upon wo- men well nigh unbelievable in this 10th century.
 We accent these scattered testimon- ials of women we know well as Ger tain indications that civilized Europe has relapsed into barbarispn The women of the world are looking to you. the leader Of the only great neu- tral nation, to find a way of mediary iratefference,, s
