country now oyerrun by the Teutons,
they dare to wear bits Of paper on
their clothing as a silent taunt to the
enemy who regarded their treaty as a

Miss O'Reilly met Edith CaveIIe, the
English nurse who was murdered by
the Huns.
However, the German soldiers. mot

Belgium Vas invaded, the German
privates were told they were fighting
to free Belgium from French inya-

Frequently we hear insinuations
concerning the morals of our fighting

knew from long experience at the

In England the women are working
at some of the most dangerous occu-

and other places equally hazardous.
Many of these women go to Worl. with
the knowledge that their beauty will

also. During air raids. they are on
