WOMAN AS MAJOR
 TAKES COMMAND IN
 KING PETERS ARMY

Bulgaria. In due course after rough
 journylng and camping among the
 Thracian Mountains Mrs. Stobert
 found herself and her detachment at
 Kirk Kilisse, close to the Bulgarian front And here for several months
 this company of English Ladies re- ceived the wounded Bulgar soldiers
 and Turkish prisoners as they came in from the fighting line, operated on sent them away healed. Thls was the first complete women's unit to take the surgeons, the X Ray operators, the dressers, the medical attendants were tory women amputated limbs torn by shrapnel and extracted bullets from the bodies of men.
 In the present war this body of med ical women has done notable service in several fields. At the very begin ming of the conflict in August 1914 Mrs. Stobert was m Brussels when the Germans entered the city. was arrest ed by the invaders in the first pa roxysm of their anti English fury. was carried as a prisoner to Germany
 and narrowly escaped the fate which
 later befell Edith Cavell.
 After her release she went back to Antwerp then for some months she was at the head of a base hospital working under the Croix Rouge in
 France, till the call came from Serbia
 and she led her party to that devas- ted land.
 When the country was attacked on two sides by the Austro- Bulgarian. combination officers capable of com
 manding mobile medical contngents
 were few in number. The Serbian
 General Staff asked Mrs. Stobart to
 take charge of an ambulance column
 with the status of Major in King
 Peters forces. Mrs. Stobart l be-
 lieve was the first woman to be
 made responsible with executive rank for the conduct, movements and dis cipline of body of soldiers engaged
 in the operations of the field and of
 the march. Mrs. Stobart accompan-
 jed the army through it's brief ad-
 vance and its long retreat in com
 mand of column consisting of a doz-

At this time when the ladies of Nome are preparing to organize Red Cross unit it is fitting to quote few extracts of MT. Sidney Lows review of ''rhe Flaming Sword in Siberia and Elsewhere" by Mrs. St Clair Stobert. in the February Contemporary"
 Mrs Stobert has Seen the war not from the outside, but from within. She did not go to Belgium. to Serbia, to France to collect impressions or to make copy. She went to do work to help the sick and wounded on the field. In besieged fortresses, at the base hospitals. she sought and found her opportunity to bear her part in the actual campaign.
 We are used now to the idea of "Women's units." We have recogniz- ed the hospital. ambulance, and trans port attachments which are entirely feminine in their composition with women not alone as nurses, cooks and orderlies, but also as dispensers, clerks dressers, motor drivers surgeons, and directors, as is the case with the ex- cellent Scottish Women's Hospital, now ministering to the Serbians on the Macedonian front, and another column doing heroic work with the Roumanians. But such d unit was unknown and almost inconceivable five years ago. Women were allowed as by masculine chivalry they so often are allowed, to do their share of the drudgery the hard, obscure work; but strictly in a subordinate position, and with men to tell them what to do. Mrs. Stobert set out to change this tradition. She got together a corps of women who prepared themselves for service in the war hospitals. She in- sisted that the training must be thorough. that 1t should consist of something more than attendance at First Aid Lectures" and that the members of her corps, officers and surgeons as we'll as the rank and file should be of her own sex.
 Then came the Balkan War of 1912. in Influential quarters it was decided that "the Balkan Peninsula in war time was no place for gently nurtured English Ladies. So while the authori- her corps and offered its services to

en of her English women doctors and nurses, six English chaffeurs. and between sixty and seventy Serb ian soldiers, orderlies and transport drivers, she was with it in the rout- when they were overwhelmed by the Austrian artillery from the north and the Bulgars from the East, and with it shared in the appalling tribulations of beaten army as 1t slowly wound it's way thru the Mountain passes with soldiers and starving refugees dying by the roadside as they passed, and the Austrian, German and Bull garan guns laundering in their rear and sometimes on their Hanks as well. In the end the column was brought down to the coast without the loss of a single one of it's members, which was more than could be said for any other column in King Peters ser- vice. Throughout the ardous, dan- gerous, and exhausting march, she rode at the head of her column, direct ing its movements, maintaining it's discipline, engaged in a eeaseless struggle to obtain the sheer necessi- ties of lfe--more than once barely escaping capture by the advancing enemy; and performing all the while such hospital work as was allotted to 1t.
 The writer of "The Flaming Sword" which is an actual record of personal experience, in considering the lessons to be learned by this world war re- gards the question of releasing the world from the scourage of war as the most insistant. This ls the Enig- ma of the Sphinx unto which our Western Civilization must find an answer or perish.
 War and Peace, so Mrs. Stobart holds is pre- eminently a woman's question. She believes that women are by natural law the peace loving, non -militarist element of the human partnership. This not because wo- man is cowardly or spiritless, but because nature has bestowed upon her the special function of giving and cherishing life. Birth and death, are deeper realities to the one sex than to the other; for woman who buys each new life at the risk of her own. must be economical in her handling

THE SIEGE OF PARIS
 RECALLED; HOW BISMARk
 MADE PEACE WITH FRAnCE

War is a rough and terrible busi- ness. This applies equally to warfare on land and at sea. Whoever is en- gagged in the war wishes to attain his object, and if he is vigorous he will employ every means to attain it. In a naval war the cutting off of the enemy's trade is one of the means. No one can forego it. And really, is it anything more than is done on land? If during the seize of Paris someone had equipped a train with foodstuffs for the Parisians, that train would simply been stopped.
 E. I must say that if states act in this way they use the only means which war gives them. In such con- duct could see absolutely no barbar- ity, or any difference from the meas ures taken in war on land. And believe that, inasmuch as no naval war has been waged on large scale since the days of Nelson, views about naval war have arisen which underestimates it's force and power"
 Germans should remember such close adherence to precedents when they raise their voices against the "inhu- manity" of the Franco British block ade.
 In huge glee Bismarck talked of let ting the Parisians stew in their own jtilce." The function of the German army outside Paris was simply to keep isolated. It was a mathematical certainty that the supply of food woulo give out in time. On the twelfth day of the blockade the American minister, MT. Washbourne. who remained within noticed that the meat was growing scarce. Lack of and proper food sent up the death rate among the children of the poor. The Germans were arked to allow the women and children to leave the city, but they refused point ing out that their absence would put

In the autumn of 1870 Bismarck found himself face to face with hard problem.
 The scientifically trained German armies everywhere defeated the mis- erably- equipped and wretchedly- French troops. Nevertheless the French fought on. They refused to make peace. thus putting to confu- sion the ideo of Moltke and other German stan officers that France would show the white flag as soon as German brmies appeared before Paris. Moitke's correspondence shows that he expected to join in the plaas- ures of game shooting in Silesla by the end of October, 1870.
 Bismarck was anxious to find a way of forcing peace upon d high Spirit ed and defiant people. And he soon found it in the decision to reduce Paris, the very heart of France, by blockade. It was rather slow rather slow method. but q sure one. In September the German armies began movements to envelop the city. The iron ring closed in upon the popula- ton of two million. On September 16. 1870. the last mall left Paris. Two days later the gates were closed, and from that hour no supplies entered the capital
 As Is we'll known. the man of blood and iron" had scant respect for so- called neutral and humanity rights Bismarck brushed aside in scorn and jest few timid protests from neutrals. citizens of the United States and Great Britian in the invested area, but he cared nothing for that. Nor can We find much more compunction in his succcssors. On March 1892, Count Capriu who succeeded Bismarck as chancellor of the empire. made this clear declaration with regard to cut ung off food during . naval blockade:

off the days of starvation.
 Forage soon gave out and horses could not be kept. They were sold at that date for s to $10 and slaugh- tered.
 Gradually general misery increased. Fuel began to fail. After two months of seige butter cost sSS4 a pound, tur- keys journeyed to $15 and $20 apiece, chickens to SC, rabbits $3.50 and eggs cheap, as the price was fixed by gov ernment order. A cat fetched $1.40 to cents a pound. By Christmas day prices climbed still higher; goose cost $2O and chicken s7. Then all fresh meat vanished from the shops except horse flesh.
 The blockade continued it's pressure, but it was slow. Bismarck grew i'm patient. He wished to bring near the 
 the German staff that the clty be bom- barded. Like the American general, Sheridan, it was held that the enemy's people in war time should be left with only their eyes to weep over the rulns. Bismarck had his way Nine days bombardment resulted in comparative ly little damage because of the limited destructive power of the artillery of that day. It was perhaps equal to the mischief wrought by Zeppelin visit. But the relentless gnawing of hunger was more infinitely more, effective than the cannon balls. Some time after the bombardment an armistice was signed It was virtually the sur render of Paris to famine. The sur render of France followed. Thus Bis- marck obtained what he wanted by blockade and starvation.-Illustrat London News.
