With the Women of Today
BY EDITH MoRlARTY.


English women complained, and
whtned. and cIamored. and finally
fought for the vote and what they
termed their rights. They were
ignored, and argued with, and fought
of and 1nally put in jail. but they
did not get their rights .
Then one day the men started to
do something else besides wTangIe
with the women. They went of 20
war and fought and died for their
country and those very same worn-
en-. And the women in turn started
to do something else besides throw
bricks through plategIass windows
after every suffrage meeting. Instead
they went of to hospitals and war
work centers and exercised what
rights they did have for those same
men
Finally the country and some Of
the very men who had been so bitter
on the suffrage question asked the
women to do those things which
only They were called to the
farms, the factories, the railroads,
Ethe shipyards and although they
were still allowed 70 say nothing in
making the laws TO govern this labor
they turned out in large numbers.
And so it is that the English women
are coming into their rights" as
result Of the war.

in the house of lords now looms up

\ Mira. Eoisyn's Address,
Mrs. Angela Boleyn, secretary Of
the Red Cross nursing bureau made
a strong appeal to the married
nurses OF Fargo. to ask TO the
ing TO them IL the single trained
nurseR of Fargo. to awake to tina
places st home must be taken by the
married nurses. The single nurses
OF the state have more than done
their share, declared Mrs. Boleyn,
and it is the married ones that are
Sinking their duties" This is not
a local affair: 1t Is a national one,
and as such must be responded to.
Married nurses can resume active
work, and unless they do so volun-
farily, it Is possible that conscrip-
ton viii be resorted to, the same as
in the army. She also urged that
the nurses who could not take up
active, duties, enroll in the Home
Defense league. A survey Of all the
married nurses in the state is TO be
made in the near future.

Mrs. Youna's Address.
Mrs. N. c.. Young made g plea. for
more concerted action on the part
OF the women for all forms Of Red
Cross work in her address. She
said not even the surfa ce
of the war work that should be done
has been touched and that no
sacrifices that the American women
can make, regarding Red Cross
work, are toe. great. The refugees OF
the wor stricken countries have lost
everything through this war. and
it was only a matter Of geograph
that prevented Americans from SUI
fering a like fate. Household matters
are OF secondary Importance when
Red Cross work is to be. done and all
women should. respond generously
to the call whenever it comes.
