That girl has haunted me through

it, in hundreds, thousands OF women
in the munition factories of France.
I do not mean to say by any means
that most of the women in munition
factories are doing work for which
they are physically unfit. That would
not be true. Most Of the work in
munition factories is far harder than
that in ordinary factories devoted to
peaceful production, where women
work as readily as men.
But there are many exhausting ma
chimes Of war factories operated by
women, who made the choice them
selves. The price they pay in
strength, seems to satisfy some inner
fire of vengeance. Every day they
are making to their country the
tragic sacrifice of youth. ~
OF the 100000 women working in
munitions in France suppose I have
seen in mass some tens of thousands.
and, though most of them are merry
at their work and are getting pay
such as they never dreamed of be-
