Opportunity for Women.
Washington Post.)

Humanitarians, if not sociologists. usually concede that women get the worst of it. in every war. Theirs is the silent part. There are no crashing bands to stir them to pa- triotism. There are no medals or crowns of fame to lure them to heroic sacrifices. Away from the noise of battle, blinded by tears and crushed by heartache, they must live on in torture, while their loved ones are used as fodder for the enemy's guns.
 The effect of the war on women has caused endless speculation. There has even been wonderment as to whether it would not be necessary to permit polygamy in some countries in order to bring about repopulation. Considering the fact that only three per cent. of the total population of the warning countries arc enrolled in the armies and that only ten per cent. of these will die. it is hardly likely that polygamy. which was permitted after the thirty years war in Ger many. will receive much consideration after the war is over.
 So far as the opportunities of wom- en are concerned, however, they are likely to be increased. rather than decreased, as a result of the war. At the moment when there comes from Chicago the information that one of

The Lesson of Appomattox.
Washington Star.)

The proposed celebration at Ap- pomattoX of the great event which took place there fifty years ago should appeal strongly to everybody. What more fitting, what could possibly do more good, than to celebrate at this time a peace which came after a long and bloody struggle, and when hope of peace had almost died out of many hearts? Repeated negotiations and the most fervent prayers seemed to have failed.
 But the dawn came after the dark est hour. Grant and Lee met by ap- pointment at the obscure place named and the former by his generous terms, and the latter by his complete ac- ceptance of the fortunes of war as they stood revealed to him as a sol dier. laid the foundations of the peace that followed, and of a reunited coun- try stronger in the affections of the people than it had ever been before.
 Let those who are in despair about present conditions in Europe study the story of our fratricidal strife and take hope Men in arms are swear ing eternal hate; but the spirit will not last. Cities and rich farming stretches are being laid waste; but they will rise and flourish again. Peace looks distant. but it may be close at hand. When the guns cease
