changed her for a man. There were
many others, Fanny Wilson, of New
Jersey, Mary Owens, of Pennsyl-
vania (who went with her husband,
saw him killed, was wounded in the
same fight, and took part in three
battles), and Major Belle Reynolds,
of\ Illinois, who got her commission
for bravery. but she made no effort
to conceal her sex. Most famous of
all was Major Pauline Cushman,
the Union scout and spy. On the
Confederate side the best known was
Captain Belle Boyd, who got her
commission at the hands of Stone
wall Jackson after an exploit which
saved his army from destruction.
Next in celebrity on the Southern
side was Nine. l.. J. De Velazquez,
who disguised herself as a man, en-
tered the army under the name OF
Harry Buford, and became Lieu
tenant through her bravery in ac-
tion. After it was learned that she
was woman the Confederate Gov
ernment employed her in secret SER
vice work.
Perhaps the advertisement meant
the first American woman soldier
in this war" Even then it is open
to doubt. One imitator of Deborah
Sampson and Frances Hook got
nearly to France before she was dis
covered, and there may be others.
How many enlisted in the War of
Secession will never be known, for
usually the fact was never revealed
until the woman happened to be
wounded. In The New York Times
of July 13, 1863. among the local
items is the account of the arrest of
a woman named Mary seizgle for
wearing a soldiers uniform. 1t
turned out that she had a right to
wear it. having just returned from
the battle of Gettysburg in which
she had taken part with the 41st
New York Volunteers. In The, New
York Times of May 20, 1853, is a
letter from a soldier telling Of the
surprise of his comrades of the 1st
Kansas when they found that a Ser
geant, who had just died, and "by
The side of whom they had march

was a woman. She had fought, he
said. in dozen battles and skir.
mishes. "She was as brave as a
lion in battle, and never flincheo
from any duty or hardship that fell
to her lot" No one, of course, ever
learned her real name. Death re.
vealed her. Who knows how manS
others went unrevealed?

MEMORIAL DAY, 1918

NE EEMORIAL DAY this year will
IV have a new meaning for mill
lions of Americans. The war
has done that for us. To many of
the younger generations, born within
the past so years, the war of the re-
bellion was little more than a bad
dream a part of the dead past and
to be buried with it. They held in
respect the veterans who fought it
and they understood how it was
that these men desired to set apart
one day each year in which to pay
tribute to the brave souls who laid
down their lives in the great con-
flict, or who went to early graves
because of the hardships they suf-
fered in those trying times. Past
that, Memorial Day was a mere holi-
day, like the Fourth of July or Labor
Day, to be given over to recreation
and jollification.
But these and all others of us
understand better now. We are
living in a period like that which
called the young men of the Sixties
to the sword and gun. We know
now why they went and what the
going means. We who are still at
home are as one with the veterans
Of the Grand Army in our desire to
pay tribute to- the soldiers of the
country who sleep beneath the sod
whether of this war or that of a
half-century gone, whether in this
land or abroad.

Woman Soldiers
[From the New York Times. ]

II notice on the billboards
around the city an advertise
ment of "the first American
woman soldier" 1 have been
informed that one Molly Pit
cher fought at the battle of
Monmouth, N. J., in the Revo-
lutionery War, taking the place
of her husband, who was killed
in that battle. Letter in Yes
terday's Times.
Captain Molly wasn't the only one.
We must not forget Nancy Hart, of
Georgia, gun in hand, driving her
ten Tory prisoners into the American
camp. But Nancy, prodigious fight
er as she was, was not technically a
soldier, whereas Captain Molly was
made a Sergeant on the Monmouth
battlefield and subsequently put on
the list of half-pay officers for life
by act of Congress. She had the
right to wear the uniform, and COM
promised by wearing an artillery
mans coat over her dress and a
cooked hat on her red hair. But
Deborah Sampson, of Massachu-
setts, was the real woman soldier
of the Revolutions; she enlisted in
the Continental Army. her sex being
unsupported, fought in battle after
battle, was wounded, was COM
mended for bravery, and headed
military expeditions. She was 21
when she enlisted. Despite her
wounds, she managed to escape de-
lection until a serious illness and
detention in the hospital revealed
her secret, and her comrades were
astonished to learn that Private
Robert Shurtleff' was Miss Deborah
Sampson, of Uxbridge. General
Knox gave her an honorable dis
charge; the Massachusetts Legisla-
ture voted her an honorarium, Con-
gress put her on the pension roll,
and after her death voted a sum of
money to, her heirs, declaring that
the whole history of the American
Revolution records no case like this,
and furnished no other similar .ex-
ample of female heroism, fidelity,
and courage"
The War of Secession, however,
was full of such cases, one of the
best known being that of Frances
Hook, of Illinois, who at the age OF
| %, enlisted under the name of Frank
Miller Her brother enlisted with
her, keeping her secret. and was
killed by her side at Shiloh. Francis
was taken prisoner in the Chatta-
nooga campaign. when the Confed-
crates discovered her sex. They ex-

KAISER AND THE U-BOAT
PHILADELPHIA Record.


When Admiral Sims says, I'VE
have the submarine virtually
beaten" the American people can
safely place full confidence in his
words. The next thing to do is TO
make their defeat so complete that
the qualifying word virtually can
be eliminated from the statement.
That may be expected in a few
months, for it is not to be supposed
that Germany will continue to throw
away expensive boats and valuable
lives after she discovers that little
is accomplished by such a sacrifice.
Her resources are not sufficient to
justify such prodigal waste. When
the Kaiser counts UP the costs of his
ruthless undersea warfare, which
was responsible for bringing the
United States into the war and ar
raging nearly the whole civilized
world against Germany it is prob
able that he will curse the day when
the inventor of the submarine was
borne

DOWN THE WAYS
kansas City Star. !

y
The April deliveries and launch
ings of new ships and those so far
reported in May show America Is
getting into its stride in this essen
tial department of war making. The
bridge of boats" that is to carry our
millions of soldiers across the At
lantic and maintain them there is
building. 1t has gone far enough to
remove all doubt as to our ability to
build 1t, and with that doubt re-
moved the last uncertainty as to the
effectiveness of Americas partiel-
patton in the war is dispelled.
The potential war strength of this
country has been recognized by the
enemy from the start. He knew we
had the men and the money, the
food, the factories and the organic
ing genius that are the measures of
nations capacity for war. But all
these things were discounted in his
eyes because three thousand miles Of
ocean separated us from the battle
field. He was convinced we could
not create the enormous fleet of ships
necessary to transport the huge ar
mics of modern war such a distance,
particularly as those armies could
not be subsisted in France and would
have to be supplied from the home
base. He knew America had no
mercantile marine. He knew the
tonnage capacity of our few ship
yards to a dot, and he said to him
self that our more than fifty years
neglect of shipbuilding as a national
industry had put 1t beyond our power
to suddenly revive 1t. Why need he
fear our armed millions IL we could
not bring them into action?
We now know-after having en-
tertained some breathless doubts
ourselves-that the enemy deceived
himself. With hundreds of ship
ways on the Atlantic. the Pacific, the
Gulf and the Lakes the shipping
board is launching ships every day.
Steel ships, wooden ships. composite
ships, concrete ships are taking the
water one, two, three and four a day,
and our maximum of production is
not yet attained. The job is not yet
done. the full chorus of the riveting

have measured our strength against
the task and we know we can do it.

RESTORE WOOD

r. BRADY struck a responsive
chord in the hearts of his audi
- ence yesterday when he made
a plea for the reinstatement of Cen
eral Wood to the command of the
division he would have led to France
but for the pettiness of the admins
tration in sidetracking him. Gem
eral Wood is being punished, it is
presumed, because he permitted
former President. Roosevelt to criti-
else the administration before the
students at Plattsburg. General Wood
is less diplomat than a soldier and
he has far more military skill and
frank courage than he has tact in
dealing with the tender feelings of
super-sensitive statesmen. Further
more, all that Colonel Roosevelt said
and Wood condoned on that historic
occasion has been horne out by de-
velopments since.
If the President had hearkened to
him the country would not have
faced Germany unprepared. The
people believe in the General and
they cannot understand why the
President, big man that he is in
many ways, should stoop to petty
personalities in the administration
of the Army, especially since he
would be the last to approve any
such conduct on the part of subor-
.dinate officer. How will he explain
to the country If, by reason of fall
ing under the command of a less
experienced soldier, the Wood divi-
sion should meet disaster in France +?
And what will our allies think of
this piece of folly?

Good Government Assured
[Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.1

No stings of defeat can linger with
Pennsylvania Republicans who sup
ported another candidate In the pri-
mary election after reading this adj
mirable utterance of Senator Will
liam c. Sproul, when returns receiv-
ed gave assurance of his nomination
to the governorship:
The decisive character of the Re-
publican primaries fills me with a
sense of. deep responsibility, con-
sctousnesS that n great confidence
has been placed IN me by the voters
of my party. With thorough ap-
probation of my duty as a candidate
and of the work that is ahead of me,
/ give myself over to that duty and
that work, and promise most COM
plete effort to deserve the faith in
me which my friends and the people
in general have shown. have no
grudges to pay, no enemies to punish,
no debts to discharge-only a desire
to lead q united party to victory in
November, that we may render de-
voted services to the nation and to
our people here in Pennsylvania"
The words give the measure of the
man. They are satisfying pledge
OF the quality of service he will give
the Commonwealth in the next four
years. They are irresistible. There
can be no disgruntlement with the
results of the polling on Tuesday.
Citizens, of whatever party afTilia-
tions, must share in the pride of
Republicans that Pennsylvania Is
to have for governor one so worthy
as Senator Sproul Is known to be.
The very large majority given him,
in an apparently light total vote, is
an augury of party harmony in tho
election campaign that may conf

fection In the businesslike adminis-
tration OF Governor Spropl. untaint-

that has been too much in evidence
of late. Not only Republicans but
all citizens of Pennsylvania are to be
congratulated on the nomination of
Senator Sproui.
