/, Women venturing out into public | life, purposeful and bristling with good
 intentions along lines of special or
 general reforms, would do we'll, and be
 benefited, frequently to see themselves
 as men see them.
 ] What a man deplores is the lack of 1 real WOmanhood in the women with l whom it is his lot to associate, to col-
 laporate' to work, watch and pray in
 a cause for the good of mankind. A 1 true lliah deplores most the superfi-
 clal natures in which, under pressure 1 the selfish Dependencies to such pre- dominance as to leave little more than a whirlpool of light floating wreckage
 or nauseous debris.
 True women under fire represent to a |'Well-tr1ed reliability of the steadfast rock Whlch suffers and withstands in times of calm, the playing of the gen. tle lapp1ng waves, no more than dur ing storm, the terrible beatine of inc surging seas.
 Shifting sands are not long inter esting to one whose life purpose con- strains him to pull earnestly and of ten frantically for Life's more stable shores. To one who has really launched forth from the miserable self-centered harbors of the selfish hu- man, only the steadfastness and reli- ability of the fixed rock is worth while; and even though it be often subm erged by the threatening waves one finds needed anchorage on the rock in that inevitable voyage over the selfshness of the worlds vicissitudes. Only in steadfastness along right
 lines does the real woman hint the di- vine, the rock which mercifully either indicates security in the way or in vites a moments pause for the strug- gling seaman, and often affords him all hours needed rest.
 The symbol of the rock on land or at sea is encouraging and inspiring. The rock on land gives shadow and shelter"; towering out of the sea, 1t affords a sure anchorage; but sand, however shimmering, soon tires the eyes and threatens starvation.
 One of the dep1orable instances of the world woman's sand-zeal, which Is without strength or knowledge, is the present insane determination of the suffragist's picketing of the White House. This mistaken zeal bases ad- vantage on expediency instead of prin- ciple. It thinks it profitable to force an issue by taking advantage of de- plorable world crisis, instead of, with rock-like patience and determination, working and praying in realms of re- sistless helpfulness, while waiting on Gods sure maturing of "the full corn in tho ear.''
 Really patriotic women, in these times, will volunteer not only to be self-supporting but they will prove themselves a power in their homes

A MASCULINE MIRROR FOR WOMEN
Hour Has Struck When Womanhood of the Nation Must Prove Mans Highest Inspiration - Mothers,
 Sisters, Sweethearts, All.
(By Joseph C.. Mann)

which can not help making men of "slackers"
 In Europe women, by want, woe or war lords are driven into special self sacrificing service; but the American women should be drawn gladly, and without reservation, Into any special service demanded by the hour; and, fired by the Spirit of the Pilgrim fore fathers and mothers, she, as wife. will not lean on husband; as mother, she
 will proudly hold ready her son; and as sweetheart, she will urge forward
 her lover, till the spirit of Joan of Arc permeat the atm osphere of our na- tion and imbues the hearts of our al- lies with the continual renewal which makes our victory, or victory for
 right, sure. Paul spoke of fighting
 mot as one that beateth the air. All mankind today are swaying to and fro in an international or world tug of war. Not a human being but is either on the right or wrong side. Not one that fails to register on the side of the positive that is not nega- tive: and negative or neutrals, in a nation that has declared itself, amount to nothing on the right side: and inso- far as they are negative they aid or abet the enemy.
 All who today in our nation are not positively pulling on the end of the rope clutched by "Uncle Sam" are dis loyal citizens; and insofar as they are consciously or unconsciously negative, they are guilty in degree of treason. All who today, fight independently for advantages. which, because of the sorrowful world complications they think they may gain, are fighting as one that beateth the air.. because they are selfishly prompted by person, instead of being unselfshly constrained by Principle
 A woman who is more than nega- tive automaton will today cooperate whole-souledly with the best men of our nation and of the nations of our allies, who are fighting, suffering and facing death on the battlefield. true woman has the strength and virtue of individuality too statuesque, in this hour of our nations and of the worlds travail, ignominiously to skulk around under the plausible suhterfuge of generalities which are neither here nor there; but she will stand up posi- lively in uncompromising support of her government, the government which affords her opportunity and freedom to think rightly; to live peaceably and protected against the arbitrary autocratic dictations and tax ations of monarchies; the government which, from Principle, has volunteered to fight, at whatever cost, even to death, against the threatening usurpa- ton of antiquated autocracy: the gov ernment which, last but not least. sim cerelv aims at world fulhllment or the golden rule among nations. and which, in fighting to maintain it's own freedom, is fighting for the freedom of the world.

NO people must be forced under sovereignty under which it does lot wish to live. No territory nust change hands except for the purpose of securing those who nhabit 1t a fair chance of life and tberty. No indemnities must be insisted on except those that con- tttute payment for manifest grongs done. No readjustments if power must be made except noh as will tend to secure the utaire peace of the world and the uture welfare and happiness of ss peoples.
