noEAanT 10 now two months since I
WIllIS last saw through fearful, un-
.So1| happy eyes throbbing and
war-swept Europe. Through
9ks6 the haze of early morning
my last vision Of that land
OF strife and woe will re-
main . clear picture-never to be for
gotten. ....
Moments In life when we are expert
encing the biggest emotions frequently
are made iudelible in our minds by rea-
son of the tiny incidents recorded in
memory. As I turned from the steam
ship rail, when tho little strip of land
they call England disappeared from
view on the horizon, noticed beside
me woman wearing life-preserver
snd standing close to lifeboat, which
: swung unconcernedly on its davits.
So. when think of Europe passing
from view. I think also of the little,
stout person at my side who, with some
reason, no doubt, still maintained a Ger
tain sense of fear while we steamed
swiftly through the submarine war
zone" on our way back to America.
Now, I am writing on mission desk
in little cabin in the mountains of
southern California. It is autumn on
the hi!lsides. The mountains and fcct-
hills are covered with vari-colored fol-
iage. What contrast! Here I see
crimson as nature paints with it; far
away in unhappy Europe I saw it as
man recklessly flaunts it. 1t is too big,
too wonderful for the human mird to
grasp. And yet, l should say, my l;fe in
the past year in Europe and in peaceful
America has provided experiences prob
ably no other American woman has had.
As nurse in the field hospitals did
all that could to relieve the suffering
around me. But was only one. My
efforts were so small in effect was
but speck on the horizon of the world.
Then one night I saw a wonderful
thing. A motion picture show was
wen at the hospital where I was at

When all the deeds of men are, rec

Everywhere bullets have killed their
thousands, and women by careful nurs-

have saved tens of thousands. Ameri-
can women have had their part in this
mighty work. Both the American Am
