WOMEN: Your Country Calls
TURN SACRIFICE TO SERVICE AND FIND OUT WHAT WAR is
ABOUT SAYS WNONA WILCOX.
Bv wINoNA WILCOX.

70 is woman's habit of mind TO feel
she is wronged whenever fate compels
her to change her accustomed ways.
And so, when war upsets the routine
of her days, she thinks of it only in
terms Of sacrifce-the men she must
part from, the Injuries she must give
up. the pleasures she must give up, the
pleasures she must abjure.
She suffers greatly, perhaps, because
she has few intellectual compensations
Tor her physical discomforts; she is apt
to miss the big motives for which men
fight she doesn't always know, FOR in
stance. the difference between a democ-
racy and an autocracy. nor why one
isn't ms good TO live under as the other,
provided her checking account is big.
Woman has always thought of war
entirely in terms Of sacrifice, and per
haps, in other days, sacrifice covered the
total demand war made upon her.
But this century has made over the
art of war, and it has given woman
special part in war.
"Women. your country calls" Is a
slogan which requires an answer Of a
new kind. Il is a call for service, not
for sacrifice
IL is TO longer enough for any woman
to answer. in the old spirit of martyr
DOM "lIere is my husband" or son, or
lover. And then to sit down and feel
sorry for herself and cry in the convic-
ton that she has performed the whole
duty OF her sex.
The new answer is a query;
"What can l do for my country"
Then besides finding her work let her
find out what this war is about.
Then she will smile, and bless the fate
which has called her TO do her bit in the
greatest uplift Of effort ever made by
humanity.
