THE story of American women" :"
Mrs. McAdoo said In addressing the
audience within the theater. during
the months OF the great war is a di-
rect and conclusive proof of their fit-
ness for government and full citizen
ship. 1t is a sad commentary that
women have been required to make
this proof of their capacity for citizen
ship and that we of this generation
must demonstrate such capacity.
Full citizenship will be mere. Pos
sibly 1t will come within a few weeks,
perhaps few months. l do not envy
those who hold 1t back even for a little
time. l do not envy the position/they
will hold in the eyes of the world IL
they, withhold justice from theswomen
citizens of1America.
