The sergeant was on out post duty with fifteen soldiers when their sentry challenged a small body of men approaching through the dark ness. The latter replied both in English and French. but the sergeant was suspicious. and advanced alone to meet them. He was immediately sur rounded, disarmed and threatened with instant death if he made a sound.h He did not hesitate an instant. Here, friends, flre!" he shouted. These are Germans."

 have made glory won by fighting stand higher than effective citizenship.
 In passing over the subject of uni- forms and decorations, Mrs. Gilman brought her audience to laughter when she remarked that in mankind alone it was the female who put on the decorations. In all other life 1t was on the male that the decorations are found. The human male has evolved further along this line than the female.

 Coming to the question of what woman has to do with war, Mrs. Per kins said that the woman was not belligerent like the male, did not fight for fun, in spite of Mir. Kipling's fe- male more deadly than the male"
 The lecturer drew a vivid picture of what it meant to the womanhood of a state to have it's men slaughtered in war by the thousands, yet she said that the present was would bring about good things, driving us into an ad- vance for the labor movement and the advance of womankind
 Experience of This Country. Speaking of what it had meant to this country through the loss of so many men in the Civil war, she said that one of the reasons for such a large social s1uvance in the rast fifty years had been the large infusion of CUnronv1 into hIlSfnaSc Iffn md fI1iS H4r9c c going to occur on an immense scale in Europe.
 One of the greatest grievances o1 l woman is that they have been held to one trade. There is no inherent ! thing about woman that enables heI to cook. Some of us have found hat out. The man who marries gets 3 sealed package. The best cooks and tho

LECTURE ON WOMEN AND WAR
Brilliant Address by Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman in Town Hall-Asks Why Devotion and Herosm is All Confined to War-can be Shown in Civic Life-The Position of Women is the Measure of Community Main Issue of Life to Develop Our Humanisms.

Before an audience of over $50 mon and women in the town hall on Friday night Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman of New York, gifted as writer and speaker, appeared under the auspices of the Norwich Equal Franchise league In her entertaining and thought-com- polling lecture upon Women and War
 Mrs. Gilman was introduced by Mrs William A. Norton, president of the Norwich league. who spoke of tar reasons for rejoicing that the suffra- gists had in the gain of two states in recent elections.
 Through the way that women ha aye borne the brunt of troubles at home while the men were away at the European war, said Mrs. Norton, she thought the old argument that women should not vote because they cannot go to war had bee neffectively disposed of for the women he'd shown what they can do in times of war.
 Mrs. Gilman Makes Some Answers.
 Before entering upon the regular topic of her lecture Mrs. Gilman made some answers to newspaper reports and criticisms of an address she had made. She was referred to as having said that woman had made a wre k of home management and the query was raised if she would also put the state into their hands for wdecking.
 She answered that by saying that she had never said that women had wrecked the home. They in keep Il the sweetest and finest pla On earth Because women have done badly al home 1t is not because they are wo- men, but is account of the undustria. and economical limitations of the po- sition.
 She stated her stand for the cnnten- tion that the care of babies is so im- portant that it requires study and training to do 1t properly, supplement ting the mothers care for the child by experts. which, meant no more of a separation than when the child goes to a kindergarten.
 She had been quoted as saying that the increase of divorce Is accompanied by a higher standard of married life and she reaffirmed this position
 To give up everything for the sake oi the common good is the high water mark of idealism. but do we train oui children to any such sense of civic devotion? she asked.
 Basis for Lecture Subject
 As an introduction for her lecture subject she read quotations from 8 magazine article upon the abolishment of war.
 If we had never done anything but fight, said Mrs. Gilman, growth has come in quite other ways. She went on to sketch how the instinct of com bat in the male was basis for war first in primitive times as biological fact that worked for the perpetuation of the best of the race, then was shown in hunting ages and thirdly in the times of preacious warfare from which we are not delivered yet.
 We have done everything we know to add to the attractions of war through. praise of glory and deEo- tion and heroiSm. through decorations and music. but why conf1ne all this devotion and heroism to war? We
