ourselves and show up to the world how
the sentiment blood is thicker than
water was applied in practice by the
British when England's diplomacy found
it necessary and convenient to try to
destroy this country or to help to cripple
it after it had grown to be world power.
We have not only the right but it is our
dlty to compare England's professions
and acts Of friendship with those of
Germany and give our sympathy if we
have any to give to that country which
has befriended us most. When Prof.
Alderman concluded he was warmly
applauded.
Mayor Fritsche realized that the hour
was getting late and told his audience
that he would be as brief as possible, but
nevertheless it took about an hour and
half for the Doctor to tell those present
about his trip abroad and what he knew
about the war situation. He spoke
briefly about his attending the Inter-
national Congress of municipalities at
London and then going over to France.
He says that he was fortunate in be-
coming a part of delegation that left
Washington for Europe at the time he.
did. They stuck together until the war
scare caused them to separate at Lyons.
The Mayor went over his entire trip and
related his experience and incidents that
occurred especially after war had been
declared.
In Paris Doctor Fritsche and his party
received word that Austria had declared
war on Servia. This was on the after
noon OF the same day that the American
Ambassador Herrick gave a reception
to Mayor Fritsche and others which was
attended by many of Frances influential
citizens. Mayor Fritsche maintains that
there was considerable sentiment against
war in France and especially in Paris
and that on the Monday and Tuesday
before war was declared, thousands upon
thousands of Parisians paraded the
streets of Paris yelling ''Down with the
war; we want no war" From what the
Mayor saw and heard he was firmly
convinced that the French had modified
their troops and were in Belgium several
days before Germany declared war. He
also pictured conditions in Germany, the
confidence that exists among the people
that they will win out in spite of odds,
because as they say their war is a just
war, how we'll they are prepared for war,
how bountiful the crops turned out this
year and that Germany has enough
provisions on hand to last them whole
year without getting one pound of food
from other sources. The main line of
his talk was to show that in this war
Germany is not the aggressor and that
in reality it has been thrust upon her
and in this the Doctor was successful.
The male and mixed choirs of the DR..
Martin Luther College under the able
direction of Prof. Reuter- sang several
songs in a very pleasing manner and the
Second Regiment Band Furnished the
instrumental musical numbers. TIE
meeting must be considered success in
every way and those who arranged it have
everp reason to feel elated over their
success.

noticed only in time of revolution and
great protest.
1t is but recently that we have come
to the realization that it is this very
governed class that makes up the sum
total of the nation. at is the homely
interests, the daily pursuits, the popu,
lar trend of thought that makes for
evolution" says James Harvey Robin
son, historian, who talks of the new
history, which shall include all this in
its scope.
Women have featured in public mat
tiers of the important and previously
unhistOric type, but they have not
held a prominent place often in other
affairs.
"That is why women are not found
in the school books. Nor can we insert
them for the sake Of Justice without
running the entire plan of the writings.
There is not much place for them and
their doings in these books, for affairs
such as they conducted are not in the
field Of inquiry Of elementary histories,
whether the affairs are under the
supervision of men or women.
"The only way TO escape this dilema
is to reform the teaching of history
and put in the study more Of the things
that will be of actual benefit and in
terest. We want to Know the condi-
tons under which people lived during
the Seven Years War. We want to
know what the people thought when
they weren't making Magma Charta,
how greatly social revolution changed
the mode Of life, work and play OF the
masses. When we have these things
women will find their place in the an
nails as a matter of course, and it is
to be hoped that this will soon come
to pass"

mental in the carrying out OF puoHc
affairs. we should learn about them"
Think Women Have Been Sighted.
Mrs. bennett and Mrs. Blatch feel
that women have been sighted. There
have been great women, and they have
been ignored because history, too, is
man-made. (Which is all right" com
mented Mrs. bennett, "but when half
Of US are of no account, it is annoying
though humorous"
But" objected Mrs. Blatch, when
she was approached, cit seems much
better to work from the other end Of
the wire. When we have officially en-
tered into public life, then we must be
recognized officially by writers.
"The suffrage organizations, as such,
have no time TO devote 70 such minor
pursuits. We are trying too hard and
to consistently for success in our main
issue to allow ourselves to swerye
aside for what is bound to come as a
result Of our large triumph"
Don't Want Women Compared to
Washington.
"And besides" said Mrs. bennett,
whose clear sense of proportion is re-
freshing, eve do not want any Of our
women compared to Washington. We
have had no General Lees, or Henry
Clays, and who are the women who
may be classed with the men that have
gone to make up our history? There
have been distinguished women, but
they would be clearly out of place in
the ordinary textbook"
These books have fearsome lists OF
dates and battles. To the mind OF the
child who must study them nothing
ever happened but heroic actions o.
states, in which every one was exclu
sively interested. The world grew up
fed on a series of wars, and each bat
tie decided new epoch in the world

tirely Of Ale1anders and Napoleons.

is quite as important as that Of the
