Norwich bulletin., 1918-06-04

The part that women can play it this war is unlimited. said Miss Helen Fraser of England. author of Woman's Part in the War. at a meeting and r4lly in the town hall Monday even- ing. Miss Frasers talk was straight from the shoulder and the facts that she gave were undisputed.
 The meeting opened at o'clock with selections by the Harmony club, fol- lowed by the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. Mrs. A. H. Chase, chairman of the women's committee of the state council of defense, presided at the meeting and introduced Rev. Arthur F. Pur2iss as the first speaker of the evening.
 Mir. Purlziss in brief address said If Germany has her way, there will be another war after this present one. Conditions point in that direction. The only way to win the next war is to win this one, so that the kaiser and Austria will not want any. more war. Peace at any price has been the presidents watchWord, and the price of peace now is war. There have been drives for peace and there will be more drives for peace, but the only one to be con- sidered is the one through the Ger man lines and the one that plants Old Glory in Berlin. I am sorry that the Germans have sunk so many boats of our coast, but nothing so suspicious to wake up America as this thing has happened since the war began. Amer
 ica needs waking up. There are many
 ways in which we can help win this
 war. such as Liberty bonds, war saw
 ings stamps, Red Cross and other
 things, but what we all can do is tc pray to God in this crisis for His
 divine inspiration. As President Lin- coin said. it does not matter so mucf whether God is on our side as it does that we are on Gods side.
