It for our own protection. To save
ourselves from the killing OF our men.
Many times when the trains Of wound
ed pulled in, after long agonizing
journeys from the battlehelds, we
tried to help. Often the men had lain
for days after being wounded, with
little or no attention, before they
could be gotten to the trains for
transportation to hospitals. Always
they had had long horrible hours in
freight cars which had been hurried
ly fitted with stretchers.
woman's Vote Would Save.
That war came so suddenly upon
France-she was taken so unawares-
that much unnecessary suffering re-
suited. These men. coming from the
fighting along the Marine, or from
hours away from Deauville-had
sometimes been forty-eight hours on
that train, every jerk a stab. not
knowing where they were going or
what awaited them. As the train
would finally come to a standstill and
the cars began to give up their suf-
fering burdens, we would stand right
there, bending over their stretchers
with a smile, Strengthening out their
blankets, trying to encourage them
with a few words OF cheer to continue
the last stretch of the painful jour

Something of this sort must never
happen in America to our own fine
men there" was my thought. But
what can we women do? We have
been helpless to prevent this in the
past Are men never to listen to rea-
son. to the folly of this unnecessary
destruction? Better to lose territory
than men. IL we women must be left
behind"
And so, I hope the voice of woman
will at last make itself heard. May
the men of America give their women
that privilege, thus proving their
faith in their women's good sense and
judgment. If Congress would only say
the word, how the clear clarion call
would sound over the face of the
earth. How the women of France, Ger
many and England. would pause for
a moment to wipe their tears. to face
the future with a ray of hope in their
hearts.
