Play Tremendous Part.

II am anxious to bear testimony
to the tremendous part played by the
women of England in this vital epoch
of human history" wrote the pre-
mier. They have not only borne
their burden Of sorrow and separa-
ration with unfiinching fortitude and
patience, but they have assumed an
enormous share Of the burdens neces-
sary to the practical conduct OF the
war.
IF 1t had not been for the splendid
manner in which the women came
forward to work in the hospitals and
munition factories. in administrative
Offices of all kinds, and at war work
behind the lines. often in daily dan
ger Of their lives. Great Britain and,
I believe. all the allies. would have
been unable to Withstand the enemy
attacks Of the last few months. For
this service to our common cause
humanity owes them unbounded graf
itude.
