Its motto is: American Women First.
Its object is to educate our women

Here is what one OF its members has
to say of the league, speaking Of what
war has taught woman;
1T proves primarily that women
must depend largely upon themselves
for adequate protection It shows con-
clusively that governments especially
in cases OF invasion, are powerless TO

1T demonstrates that the women
themselves are no match for the IN
healthy local rabble that-unable to
enlist-plunder and pillage when op-
portunity offers. 1t is a well known
fact that weeks Of prolonged hardships
foster a mental recklessness that de-
stroys all decent sense Of consideration
