A WOMAN ON THE BATTLEFIELD! SHE TELLS
AMERICAN WOMEN WHAT SHE SAW

Zone English woman, Mrs. st.
Clair Stobart, afteF~much difficulty,
secured permission to go to the "fir-
ing line" in the late Balkan war and
organized the "Women's Convoy
Corps" consisting of sixteen young
women volunteers; and after terrible
priVations and endless toll, caring
for the mangIed Turks and Bulgar-
ians at Kirk KIisse, has put her ex-
perience on the line of battle into
book, "War and Women" from which
the following extract is taken.-Edi-
tor. ..'.

"Onldny whose HUSBAND dnQ TWO SONS
were fighting, if she had heard lately
from them, and where they now
were? She told me that she had not
heard for ten days, and that even
when they wrote they were not al
lowed to give the date or the name of
the place from which they wrote, nor
were they allowed to mention names
of those who had been killed or
wounded. No list of killed or wound
ed would be published till the war
was over. ..
(After a seven days trek in OK
carts across the vast, war stricken
wastes of Bulgaria, Mrs. Stobart de-
scribes her arrival at the seat of
war;
1t was one o'clock when the oxen
and buffaloes were unyoked in the
mud-trampled encampment by the
side of the road, on the outskirts of
the town. My business now was to
find the commandant and receive or
ders- to find also, as l hoped, my
good friend, DR.. Kiranoff.
1 asked for orders. These were
simple. We were to go through the
town and select for ourselves any
houses we thought suitable for con-
version into hospitals, and set to
work at once.
There were thousands of additional
wounded hourly expected from Chat
ALA, and help would be sorely needed.
1 had expected that perhaps the
buildings would have been already Sc
lected, but l of course acquiesced
without comment. "And it, l asked,
"the houses we should select should
chance to be inhabited what are we
to do?"
"Turn out the inhabitants" was
the answer.
"AII right" replied, as though it
were part of my daily routine to walk
through Turkish towns turning the

tory -..'.
BY MRS. ST. CLAIR STOBART
1 myself am an old campaigner in
Africa and elsewhere, and no praise
can therefore possibly be due to me
for qualities of endurance or for my
share in the undertaking. But feel
it incumbent upon me to refer to, this
aspect of the experiment as concerns
my companions, because it affords
the demonstration which was needed,
of the fact that women can endure
stoicaIly and eheerfully and with
safety to themselves, hardships and
privations which, being incidental to
campaigns of war, have been consid-
cred only suitable for men.
The nursing of the Red Cross Hos
pital was in the hands of volunteer
women of society, who for the most
part wore linen frocks and white
caps and aprons with Red Cross
badges on their arms. Though near
ly all were unframed and had at first
been quite unused to sights of blood
and horrors, they one and all gave
it as an invariable experience that,
though they had previously imagined
they would faint at the sight of blood,
they had not even felt squeamish
when it came to the reality. There
was no time, they said, for anything
but to work at relieving the over
whelming mass of human suffering
which was all around.
Nearly all of them had near reIa-
tiVes at the front. and ! asked one

tie. Hi says he has reformed and would like to be
mayor again. He tells why, thus:
i've got couple of boys out at my house. The
older one knows was recalled. He knows what that
means. The younger boy will know before long
Once in while my older boy comes home from school
looking queer and hurt And know that some little
sprig has taken shot at him because his dad tried
TO be mayor and couldn't make good.
sThe boy won't say so, but Tknow him well enough
to know that he's just little ashamed of the old
man. And tell you it hurts I've got sisters too,
good women, and proud, that married to good
men.
"And they aren't exactly proud of their brother.
And I've got friends-good God, how they We stuck
to meLwhen to be friend of Hi Gill isn't fashion
able.
"When I'm dead and my boys have sons of their
own, want them to be able to say: sYour grand
father was mayor of Seattle-twce. The first time
he wasn't much of mayor because he made mis-
takes But the second time he was the best mayor
Seattle ever had!'"
We're not saying that Hi ever could be or should
be mayor of Seattle more but if he is sincere in
what he says he feels he surely has got hold of al
strong rope in helping himself to 'get up" Therel
are lots of finer things than being an acceptable
mayor. One of them is being frst-class father, al
fine example of good citizenship to two growing
sons, for instance.
All boys may not be born equal, but every boy is
entitled to good father and good mother and the
father who so behaves as to bring public shame up
on his commits about the heaviest sin on the
whole list of sins. If father so 'down' gets up,
through reform and atonement he accomplishes
that which is better than any political job that poll
slide! Hemay never again be 'looked up to" as a
mayor but his boys may look up to him as good
father.
