WOMEN HAVE NEVER FAILED
to Respond Whom Duty Has
Called Them.

II Great Britain really needs any
form of military service from her
women, she has but to speak the
word and millions Of volunteers will
respond. Lord Kitchener could begin
organizing corps OF amazons tomor-
row II he chose to ask volunteers for
such service. The women of the Brit
ish races, In the home isles and on
this continent. have ever been ready
to serve their country effectively in
time of war. When Mr.. Lincoln was
unwillingly drafting men into the
army. women were volunteering for
all sorts of service. At times then
and since the number Of such volun-
teers for hospital service has been
embarrassingly large. The women of
the Confederacy made amazing sac
rifices to aid the ragged armies in
the field. Some of them took their
lives in their hands and acted as
spies. Thousands and hundreds Of
thousands sewed and knitted and
spun, and not a few actually worked
in the cornfields and cottonflelds. The
need for such work was not so grave
in the North, but millions Of women
above Mason and Dixon's line were
ready to volunteer for any service
that the government at Washington
might require Of them In all this,
the women on both sides but initiated
their great-grandmothers OF the Revo-
luton. No modern war has been
fought without the aid of women, and
such women were always volunteers.
to serve their country, but thus far in
human history the simple call to duty
has been sufficient for the women OF
any nation.-Vogue.

VAST MACHINE GUN STRENGTH

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS. France,
June l5-It is almost impossible to
exaggerate the Importance of the Ger

they use with the greatest skill and
courage.
They had a stock of $4,000 on hand at
the beginning of the war. and have
| been keeping this supply replenished
constantly from their arms factories.
A favorite trick is to leave a machine
gun or two hidden in a cellar or SINH
lar place Of concealment until the enc
my's advance has swept by. and then
open fire on the rear. The post of the
men serving the gun is. of course,
hopeless. but they are fairly certain TO
sell their lives dearly. continuing to
Are their gun to the last.
AS an instance OF the deadly swift
ness of ma chine-gun fire, it Is stated
that a man coming under the hre OF
one of these weapons and shot through
the head can be struck yet ten times
more in the second or two that he
takes TO fall to the ground.
