livery woman is asking nowaday,
r how she can do her bit in this
- terrible war into which we have
been plunged. Here is one concrete
thing she can do She can give the
men who are going to the front cheer.
She can buck them up. She can add
her courage to their courage and so
make them invinoible.
Perhaps il is because the sacrifice that
is asked of them is so new and strange
and unexpected that the women OF
America have not yet risen to the su-
preme height of being able to cheer
fully offer up that which is dearer to
them than life itself on the altar of
their country, Perhaps it is because
women themselves find such comfort
in tears that they can never understand
how weeping weakens a man
However that may be, it is fact that
the wives and mothers who have been
able to turn a brave face on their hus
band, and sons who have started forth
on that fearsome journey to some

that they are doing. nor do they mean
everything that they say, Nor II they
were in the mems places would they be
as much depressed by the melancholy
ms,ives as the men are Women arc
comfortcd by tears and IT consoles them
TO know that they are wcpt over, and
so they are never able TO understand
that a man simply disintegrates under
womans tears, and that they sap the
last bit OF courage that is in him
Therefore, when woman writes a man
that she is weeping over his loss day
and night il is Just an assurance OF her
love and icndetneH-the highest trib-
ute she can pay him-and She doesn't
sense tha, she Is tearing the heart out
of his bosom and making him utterly
miserable.
Women also like TO he pitcd and
the find morbid pleasure in always an
ticipa,ins the worst that can possibly
happen They know so little Of men,
even OF the men nearest TO them, that
they do not realize that every fiber OF
manhood in man revol,s at compass
sion, that men can only struggle and
achieve as long as they have hope, and
so the women are literally aiding the
enemy and defeating their own. when
they pa" on their own gloomy fore
bodings to those who are girding them
selves up 10 strike a great blow for
the worlds freedom.
Nobody undertakes the sacrifice Of
the woman who sends her husband and
son forth TO war, No one mnimiles
her suiieringS nor depereiate, her
fears. The bitterness is always with

Lillian's confidence concerning her ro-
