If there we're standing army OF
women In the United States, they
would be q moral force that would
make for peace. Because they are
capable Of carrying on war there will
be less war.
In case OF a riot they could fight
side by side with their husbands and
brothers for the protection of lives
and for progress.
1 have tried to beget In you my
own spirit OF absolute confidence In
the ability OF women and the neces-
sity of women for war service. Let
me tell you how / propose that we
make ourselves into soldiers.
Five officers, some Of the National
Guard and some Of the regular army,
have told me they will be glad to
drill US for duty as soon as we get
together a company of fifty-eight TO
sixty.three. Meanwhile, they will de-
ploy young guardsmen to drill us
while we are still rockies Doubtless
we Will be extremely awkward
squads. but all good things must have
their beginning.
We will be drilled In squads OF
eight, two lines, four in line. Drills
can be held every Saturday night.
This will be the best night, because
mothers Will be free from the cares
OF the week and can sleep late next

or the Regular Army. or both, we
must make a record.
Ultimately, when we have proved
to the men Of the organization that
we can drill and obey; that women
are indeed of soldierly stuff, hope
that the United States will allow US

them, even to the passion for killing.
That women are not strong enough
for long marches and fierce battles
Is another objection that will be
raised. But they are. Women served

SUNDAY Ar PITTSBURGH.


1t used to be said that Billy Sunday
could succeed only in the smaller
cities, but that was clearly mistake.
He made good in Pittsburgh, where
his meetings have just come to a
close. His campaign there has been
in progress since December %. Since
then he has preacrsd 122 sermons to
a total estimated attendance in the
tabernacle of 100000. Protested con.
versions numbered 25,o73. The total
collections in the tabernacle we're
s4s,sS0.03. and the aggregate expenses
of the campaign s39,41015. The totai
free-Will offering for the evangelist
was sST,215. The largest single con-
tribution was $1,000, donors name
withheld. About a dozen checks
were for $1,000. One Of these
was received by wire from New
York and another from Florida.
There seems to be nothing In
the revival field that is too
big for Mr.. Sunday His success in
Pittsburgh puts in. the shade all cam
