into the darkness Of the lonely and

not life. Multiply that mothers loss

what does a man know about war in

Did you read in your paper this morn

read what the women Of Russia know
about war? Did you read what the
women of Galicia, the women In Poland
and all those moutainous countries,
know about war? DID you read the
price that women are paying? But
no. you could not read It. for they dare
not print it. You cannot tell It, for 1t

ask: What do women know about
