a car of death resembling ponderous,
slow-moving steel caterpillar. Is the
current 'enfant terrible in the large

bulletin issued today by the National
Geographic Society.
The modern fighting man has been
so schooled to expect unique and pow

human life that the tanks have in
spired more curiosity than terror, but
far different has been the story of the
vast breed of monsters that have en-

Wooden Horse First.
Reviewing the history OF warfare
among civilized nations, one OF the
earliest engines of destruction whose
fame has been perPatuated on the
pages of legendary epic. was the great
wooden horse which the crafty Ulysses
left on the plains Of llium, and which
the Trojans believed 10 be an offer
ing sacred to the goddess Athena,
counseled by the false Simon, the Trio
ans RACED their walls in order that
Inc gift Of the Greeks might be
brought TO their city. After nightfall
the warriors hidden inside the wood

gates OF the city and admitted thelr
companions, thus bringing about the
destruction Of the city of Prlam and

GEORGIA WOMAN
ADMITTED TO
THE BAR
viii at Once Take Up the Prac-
tiCe of Law in That
State.

ATLANTA. Ca, Sept, 2s.-Under the
Portia bill, recently passed by the
general assembly, and signed by Gov
ernor Harris last week, Mrs. Minnie
Anderson Hale, after several years OF
ceaseless activity TO accomplish this
result, has been admitted to the bar
OF Georgia, and will be the first wom-
an to undertake the practice Of law
in this state. Others who will make
immediate application are Mrs. Clara
L. Boyard, former practising attorney
in Florida; Mrs. Beatrice CastlemAn,
and Miss Agnes l. Gloin.
Mrs. Hale is graduate OF the Allan
IA law school, and has sought by ev-
cry possible means to secure the right
to practise her profession in Georgia
a right denied her under previously ex-
listing laws The courts denied her pc
tition and the board rejected her. She
has waged continuous fight in the
courts and in the legislature, having
taken her appeal to the supreme court.
where It is still pending.
Georgia is one Of the last thrG5
states In the union to make women
eligible to practice law, and It Is
notable fact that all three of thes6
states are in the South. The other two
are in Arkansas and Virginia. The
supreme court of the United States al.
lows women to practise before that
body, their disabilities having been reS
moved by special statutory enactment
in 1889. New York, Kentucky, New
Hampshire and Pennsylvania supreme
courts have all affirmed the right of
women to practise Law, holding that
statutes must be construed In tho
light Of equality Of rights.

succession OF centuries going as far
back as 424 B. c., when at the siege
OF Delium a cauldron filled with sui
phur, pitch and charcoal was placed
against the wall OF the city, ignIted
and the flames intensified by a bellows
attached to a hollow trGe-trunk. The
most famous OF the Greek fires, how
ever. was that invented by the archi-
tect Calllnicus during the reign OF
Constantine Pogonatus. This partic-
ular engine OF destruction was known
as wet fire, on account Of It's property

perors for the time being 1853.
Gun-Powder Used.
Probably more far-reaching in It's
effect than any other engine OF war
was the introduction Of gun powder
on the battlefield. 1t was one OF the
most potent factors contributing to the
overthrow OF the great feudal system,
for II destroyed the superiority OF the
armored knight over the yoeman foot
soldier, and as Carlyle has rightly said,

Following the use Of gunpowder in
small arms came the Invention and
development OF the cannon, a weapon
which was employed with destructive
effect against the wall OF Constanti-
nople, when this historic city finally
fell into the hands OF the Mohamme-
dams in 1853.

Merrimac and the turretted Monitor

trench warfare during the present Eu-
ropean conflict may be viewed as a
deadly development Of the ludicrous

PEOPLES M FORUM

1t seems that you" Uncle Bill
is considerably worried over the
prospective "Petticoat govern
ment", so much talked about
through the columns of this pa
per. ! do not propose to argue
the merits of woman suffrage
with any one, but it seems to us
that some Of the articles used
against suffrage have mauc u
thrust at our women that ought
to be an insult to every man and
woman in America.
Whether suffrage prevails or
not, | wish to inform our bach
elor "Uncle" that he is miscal-
culating when he says that our
women have not intelligence to
vote upon a subject. The same
thing may be said of a great
number of our men. A large
number have some one else to do
their political thinking for them
and then they go to the polls and
vote as the crowd does and think
that they are the best American
citizens. And furthermore, if
my mother has intelligence to
teach me right principles she
certainly has enough intelligence
to go to the polls and vote for
the same principles. Hey, Bill
ly. / do not say that the womS-.
ought to vote or not to vote, but
/ do say that / would rather
trust the old ship Of state in the
hands of our God-fearing moth
ers and sisters than in the hands
Of few brainless fellows who
dare to say in the columns of
this paper that our women have
not the sense to vote. No won
der that some fellows never are
able to get a wife. We tried
men voters in West Virginia, for
SO years and what did they do
for US? Just loaded this old
state with a lot Of old booze and
would not SO much as lift a !
finger to lift the load until the
women took hold and by their
untiring efforts enlisted enough
voters to put state dry. Do you
mean to tell me that these same
women do not have sense enough
to go to the polls and vote for
this same principle?
A man who persists in depre-
ciating a woman's intelligence
like that ought never have a
wife and his proper place is in
Africa.
