Women Aroused
By World War

The great lesson of the war is the
new decentralization" said Mrs. Nell
lie L. McClung, Edmonton, Alberta, a
prominent Canadian war worker
whom many FarRoans had the pleas
ure OF hearing here on one occasion.
We are not citizens of Canada, OF
the United States, or Of Britain only;
we are all citizens Of the world, ana

This makes living a very serious
business. When a woman sees her
boy go out to kill, or to be killed, she
loses from her life some of the spirit

reserves of the nation, and they have
never yet exerted their full influence.
They have Jagged behind the men In
their development. But the women
are being awakened, ana a mighty in
fuence for good, for kindness, for
human safety is being felt in human
affairs.
Women are sorely needed in every
department of life to make the world
homelike place to live in. Their
touch has ever been constructive. And
when this war is over, and a victory
won for liberty and human rights,
women and men together must decide
the basis Of settlement IL the world is
to be given a permanent peace. The
mothers and wives who have given
so much must be given a place in the
great reconstruction"
Mrs. McClung is the mother of five
sons, the eldest Of whom is lighting
