Washington, July 23.-No more
war" say women
On July % and 80, in all of the prin-
cipal cities of the country, elght or
CARNATIONS of women will say 1t VIII
~torchlight professions. with all day pro-
cessions in relays. They will say NC
More War with posters in the lndow
of homes, offices and on trees, or
fences on automobiles, and around
monuments.
They will say it with kilograms to inc
president of the United States assur-
ing him of the desires or M TO '
their government proceed IN ITS effoits
to secure world peace. :.
And on July 81, they hope to nave IL
impressed upon the males of the country
that women really do not want war.
that they have never wanted war and
that they are not responsible for past
wars.
Males Recite Poetry
But some of the males refuse to take
all of this for granted, and in question
ing whether women are really greater
pacifists than men, remind them teas
ingly of Kipling's famous line, The
female of the species is more deadly
than the male.
That blamed old piece of poetry"
expostulated Mrs. Harriet kylor Up
ton. leader Of the republican women.
lis all wrong. I never did care for
poetry, anyhow. I'm too parctical.
Women have always been against war
and always will be. Do you think any
woman wants to go TO all of the trou-
BILE of bringing forth a child only TO
have it shot when it grows upt'
Neither does any woman want 10
have her child when it grows up run
over by an automobile" counters John
Thomas Taylor. executive secretary of
the American Legion. 1t seems hiatt
the argument always used in supporting
tn etheory that women are against war
is that because they bring children into
the world they are more vitality interest
ed in them than the fathers
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait once
made a remark that if women had had
the franchise a few years soner there
would have been no World War. But
everybody does o seem to agree with
her.
Miss Robertson for Big Navy
The only woman in congress-, Miss
Alice Robertson, is in favor Of pre-
paredness and for that reason she
voted for the big navy bill.
Alice Paul Of the national woman's
party, believes women and men alike
look forward l~ongingly to ultimate dis
armament.
Men used to fight with tomahawks.
Now they fight with machine guns
The wars of the future will be eco
monte wars just as fraightful as the last
me. All this is deu to the pressure OF
population, and until the women of the
world are able to limit their familits
we shall have wars"
Let us stand together as women OPP
posed to war" pleads Mrs. Anna -
Oleson of Minnesota. the democratic
nominee of that state for the senate
The day ought 10 come when war is
outlawed. even as slavery and piracy
have been o~utlawed."
Mrs. Ben Hooper of Wisconsin. the
democratic senatorial nominee, thinks
along similar lines.

tional council for the reduction of arm

ers. the Young Women's Christian
Association, the W. G. r. T.. the Am
