THE WAR is HELPING THE
CAUSE OF WOMEN GREATLY

ence of the Associated Press Ut
won't be necessary for women to
smash windows and go to jail to get
their rights when this war is over"
said Miss Cristobel Pankhurst to a
correspondent of the Associated
Press during her visit here for the
purpose Of forming a closer organiza-
ton of the women of Italy with those
of France and England.
"This war is helping the cause of
women wonderfully" she continued.
1--WE are helping the men with all
our might, with all our strength, and
| am sure they will appreciate this
fact when the war is over. Besides,
Europe then will be mentally and
spiritually fifty years ahead Of where
it was before the war started. There
has been an exaggeration, for in
stance, in the amount of physical de-
struction caused by it, but one can
not exaggerate the mental awakening
it has brought, and this means a
broader outlook on the position of
woman.
"This mentar male revolution was
sorely needed in England and in Ger
many. 1 feel that in helping to down

A dozen or more came forward and

might become Christians.
We also witnessed the marvellous

Work, Greeting:
Feeling in our hearts that this
work has many friends who are de-
prived of the opportunity of attending
our services, we are glad by the kind
ness afforded us through the col
umns of The Ardmoreite to give you
a meager report of our work each
week. We are glad to still report
that the special blessings of God are
with each service, and that the work
is continually growing in favor, both
of God and our good citizens. Since
warm weather has come, and we
have moved back into the city, our
Sunday school is increasing rapidly,
and we are also having nice splen-
did congregations at all our services.

if women had had a say in the con-

to the front to fight, leaving the old,
slow minded men in charge. fake

helmets for the men so that they
might be protected from bullets and
especially from bits of exploding
shells. After these helmets had pro-

in England were still discussing the
advisability of using them.
"If women had been in charge OF
the supplying of their soldiers with
protecting helmets, do you suppose
they would have hesitated to manu-
facture them in hurry? Women are
too efficient for that. Besides, their
very love would have urged them on.
POSSIBLY the largest lesson for
men in this war, as regards us, IS
that women know how to do mans
work, and often better than the men
themselves. English women are driv-

In England we have once more learn
