WOMEN PROVE SELVES
STRONG AS MEN!''
Ry IDAH M. GIBSON.

New York, Aug%ss 15.-"Certainly
there is no valid reason why woman
should not fight for her country" de-
clared Gertrude AthertOn, Americas
foremost woman novelist, when i ask
ed her what she thought of the flock
ing of Russian women to the cOlOrs
women have now proved them
selves practically as strong as men
by doing mans work In the NUM-
tons factories of England.
"They have done as brave acts as
men In the face Of certain death, as
witnessed by the martyrdom of Edith
Cavell. <
They have shown their love OF
country by not only sending to die
for it those they loved better than
life itself, but in doing so have know
ingly subjected themselves to life
long existence Of the greatest lone
illness and hardship. The, nurses in
the field hospitals have 3withstood the
nervous shock Of battle better than
men. - -.
"Then why should women not fight,
IL fighting seems the way in which
they may do their bit the best?
think those women are doing won
derful act, not only for their country
but for all women, in breaking down
conventional sex barriers
Mrs. Anterior looked up with a
smile which robbed her next sentence
of much of it's sting:
"Think what it would mean If we
could send all the idle rich women in
the world to war They might make
good fighters-they certainly do not
make good at anything else"
But the childrenY'f - interrupted:
81 cannot see where the advent Of
woman fighters will have any appre-
cable effect on the race" she an
swered. even the most rabid eugen-
lists will tell you that change of type
or temperament Is of slow growth.
There will never be enough fighting
women who will bear children, after
great war to affect the next gen.
Grafton.
"The real reason for interest over
the Russian women going to fight for
their country narrows to this-it is a
new milepOst in the march of fem
inism.
"A new part of the man-made
world is crumblng.
"And as such it will be combated
by every mind, male OF. female, which
still clings to the woman is the weak
