"FROM THE WOMAN'S
VIEWPOINT"

An interview with Mrs Rose F..
Hartshorne-speakin officially for
the London County Auxiliary Commit
tee of the Connecticut State Council
of Defense.
The woman's answer to the ques-
tons. Why Are We J Fighting? and,
What Is the Call of the Hour to the
Young Men of America? is contained
in a e-in-Connecticut War In
terview, secured by a representative
of the Connecticut State Council of
Defense, and made public by the
Council today. The questions are an
swered by Mrs. Rose F. Hartshorne
of New London speaking officially Tor
the New London County Auxiliary
Committee of the Council Mrs. Hart
shorne when asked the question wv ny
Are We Fighting?" made the follow
ing reply:
1--WE are fighting because Germany
has forced America, as she mas
forced the rest of the world TO oe-
fend herself in, the only way possible
against a nation who has been pre-
pairing for forty years to carry on
policy of economic and political ex-
apnson by means of war.
1--WE did not make war on Ger

high seas-by disputing our rights to
be free and independent nation
by forcing us to submit to her regu-
lations of our commerce by means of
Unrestricted submarine warfare-by
placing spies within our Country to
help the German Empire destroy our
inner peace by fomenting strikes,
bomb outrages. etc-by plotting
through her Ambassador in Washing
ton, while she pretended friendship
for us, to bride and incite japan and
Mexico to war against us. Her re-
plies to all our protests against these
outrages have been little less than
insults. So to protect our National
Honor and Integrity, We have been
forced to declare war against Ger
many.
1--WE have not been drawn into this
war by capitalism, commercialism or
national policy, but by the leaders of
a nation who have tried deliberately
for years to make war on America
taking our good nature for cowardice
and our lack of preparedness as a
lack Of national self respect.
Gin short we are fighting for self
protection, to preserve our own de-
mocracy and to make sure that gov
ern1pent of the people, by the people
and for the people shall triumph and
drive constituencies military autocra-
cy from the earth, thereby bringing
everlasting world peace"
