but that they did exist and that they were valorous fighters is vouched for by number of historians.
 Among the women of the Bible there was Deborah and Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. both of whom were women of war whose story is well known. Queen Bodicea was the queen of the Iceni, and widow of Pras- utagus, British prince, who had ac- knowledged the Roman suzerainty She, however, refused to be conquered and although she was scourged by the Romans collected her forces to- gether and heading them herself went forth to meet them in battle leaving thousands of Romans dead on the field.
 The women of Gaul fought against Caesar in 61, B. C., and Genevieve met Attila in battle 451. A. D. Frede- gonde. who fought against the Austro- Burgundians in 593, rode at the head of her army carrying her child Clo- taire in her arms. She was successful and reconstituted the kingdom Neus- tria. Charlemagne's great grand daughter, Hermangarde, defended ths town of Nimre for two years against a noted general. Any number of in. stances might be related where worn- en have fought and won, but only few of the most prominent ones in early history can be mentioned among them Julienne. the daughter of Henry the First of England. Jeanne de Mont ford. Matilda of Tuscany. Margaret

of Anjou and the world famous war rior maid Jeanne D'Arc, whose many acts of heroism fill page after page of French history. The French revolu- tion brought out many of the fighting women of France. Some of them showed great bravery and were ada mant when they captured spies. They refused to listen to any mitigating cir cumstances and death was always the fate meted out. During the riots of the French Revolution hundreds of women wearing mems clothes were found among the dead having gone with their husbands and sweethearts.
 Mollie Pitcher
 The American Revolution too brought out the woman soldier aud what school boy does not revel in the story of Captain Mollie Pitcher the heroine of Monmouth. History tells us how she was carrying water to the men of Proctors battery on that hot and bloody afternoon in July when a bullet crashed in the skull of her hus- band just as he was ranming charge into his field piece, and he fell at her feet a bloody corpse. "Iie thers my darling till ayange your death,' ax. claimed Molly, and seizing the yanl- ,,1er she went on Witl, the work which death had cut short, while the men cheered her all along the line. All through that afternoon till night cov- eyed the landscape and closed the bat tie Molly stood by her gun and made good in her husbands place, swabbing

FORMING OF NEW COUNTIES WILL
 REDUCE MINIMUM
Will Make Two Old Coun- ties About 300 Square
 Miles.

Little Rock, July 1.-The proposed new counties to be carved out of the counties of Clay and Logan, will re- duce each of the four to less than the 500 square miles minimum in the constitution of 1874. But, since the change will be made in the constitu- tion, that can be remedied, and it is proposed that the minimum be reduc- ed to 300 square miles.
 There will be about BIO square miles in the county of Evans and about 415 square miles in the county of Logan. The county of Evans will have about 15.000 population. while the county of Logan will have abou: 170OO.
 The county of Clay, to be formed of the eastern half of the present county. will have about $50 square niles, and population of 20,OOO. The county of Woodrow Wilson would have about 300 square miles ana a population of more than 10000. Every acre of Woodrow Wilson county when drained and leveed, is rich farm land. lying in the valleys of the current, Black and Cache rivers.

YANKEES REFUSE TO ALLOW FLAG
 PUSHED BACK

< Paris, July 17.-"We regret being unable on this occasion to follow the counsels of our masters, the French but the American flag has been fore ed to retire. This is uncomfortable, and
 none of our soldiers would under stand their not being asked to do whatever is necessary to re-establish a situation which has become humili- ating to us and unacceptable to our country's honor. We are going to counter-attack."
 This was message sent by an Am erican general in command of Amer ican forces south of the Marne on Monday afternoon after the Germans had succeeded in forcing the Ameri- cans back towards Conde-en- -Brei. The French commander informed the general that the early German suc- cess could not have any great effect on the fate of the battle; that it was understood perfectly that after hard fighting the Americans had slowly re. tired, and that it was not expected that they immediately lauunch coun ter-attack. He added that a coun- ter-attack could be postponed with. out risk, and it might be better to give the American troops an hours rest.
 Immediately after the America n general sent the above message which jls quoted by the correspondent of the Matin, the Americans launched their counter-attack, and the lost ground was soon recovered, with an additional half-mile taken from the Germans for good measure. -

FRENCH TRAITOR '
 SHOT ID DEATH
 BY FIRING SQUAD
M. Duval, Editor of Ger manophile Paper, Pays
 Penalty for Crime.

Paris, July 17.-M. ,Duval, direc- tor of the Germanophile newspaper Bonnet Rouge, was executed early to- day for reasonable actions against the government.
 The execution was carried out at five o'clock in the forest of Vincen- nes. The condemned man died almost instantly with the command to fire.
 The execution of M. Duval is the second growing out of the German propaganda of "Boloism" or defeat ism" in France. The first to face the firing squad was Bolo Pasha. Soon after his execution the trial of Duval and six other defendants was begun.
 The trial of Duval and his associa- tes began April 2s and concluded May l5 with the death sentence being imposed on Duval and the six others being given prison terms ranging from two to ten years. Among the others convicted were M. Marion, as- slstant manager of the Bonnet Rouge and Jean Leymarie, former director of the ministry of the interior.
 Early in 1914 the newspaper Bon- net Rouge was established with Mi guel Almereyda as its editor. After the outbreak of the war the news paper published attacks on the French government and otherwise aided German propaganda. The newspaper was suppressed last sum- mer and its suppression brought about the resignation of Louis J. Malvy, minister of the interior. On the resulting wave of political tur- moil, George Clemenceau, came back into power.
 Almereyda was arrested and died mysteriously in prison under circum- stances pointing to suicide. Duval was accused of taking money from German bankers, obtaining it in Swift zerland, where he went with pass

 During our war with Spain women again came into the ranks. One of them, Miss Reebe Bean, served our country in tho ranks for twelve months Tn order to reach the scat of war in the Philippines Miss Rean dis gUi-ed herself as 9 boy and enlisted on 9 steamer to Manilla In the uniform Of 8 cabin boy. Once there sne e. cured a soldiers uniform and followed tl9e Gervics for twelve months before her sex was discovered. Other women tried to get into the ranks of Spanish American War, but they were invari- ably discovered before they had gone Y3Iy far.
 The Battalion Of Death
 The present war, however, has brought out 8 fresh crop of Amazons in the Russian Battalion of Death, that sturdy band of Russian women who did what they could to save Rus. sia. On one occasion when the Rus- sians were in retreat the Battalion of death went at the Germans and succeeded in saving the day for the

"LTHOUGH HISTORIANS in
 their chronicles of war always
 give prominence to the achieve v ments of men, women from the earliest times have been found in the midst of the conflict fighting side by eide with the men in the ranks, often their sex remaining unsuspected for months. It is true that 1t has been the portion of millions of women to suffer in silence at home and mourn their dead. With others their intrigues and fatal gift of beauty have caused strifes, innumerable. Women have also inspired heroism and knightly deeds, but 1t Is of those who have actually taken part in battle that the writer wishes to speak.
 Some of these women have Joined the ranks to avoid separation from those who were dearer to them than ease and comfort or life itself, others from a pure love of romance and ad- venture and others from mental hallucination that victory and deliver ance would come to the war burdened land only by the sacrificing of their lives. No hardship has been too great for these female warriors, many of whom have fought with tenacity and courage rarely equalled by men. They have come from all walks of life ready Go suffer and perhaps to die for their country's cause.
