 Women Vote Won't Stop War. But I do not believe by giving women the vote war will be stopped. As a matter of fact, the women are fighting this war by standing back of 1 their men. Men only go to war when l they know their women are behind 1 them. The women of England and France and Germany are all volun- 1 tccring to do the work of men that their men may go to the front. The 1 southern women were the real war [ riors for the confederacy.
 1 This, of course, is perfectly natur- l al, since natonahsm is as strong in ! women it is in men, and the pur- | pose of war, in the end, is to preserve the home. which concerns the wom- en particularly.
 NO, I am quite sure that women had they had part in their govern ments, could not have stopped the present war. It would not have como so suddenly, and there would have been more mature deliberation before it broke out, but it would have come

 MT. Cobb cant help these paradox ical cpigrams. They just come with out warning.
 II mean, of course, that there are too many -illitcrate people voting and not enough intelligent ones. We must chop off the illiterate voters and graft on some intelligent ones by extending the vote to women.

 The Biggest Argument for Suffrage. Before he was sent to Europe as a war correspondent MT. Cobb was not even passively interested in suffrage He had made some funny remarks about suffragettes, perhaps, but he had never given the feminist move ment particular thought.
 The biggest argument for suffrage I saw was down in Southern France where some men were trying to clean 1 out a hospital. Whenever I see a man ; try to handle a broom I realize his i limitations. But the women-well the women were marvellous. They did all | sorts of unpleasant, nauseating labor i about the hospital and were so skill 1 ful and delft about it.
