WASHINGTON, July 22.-"No
more war" say women.
| On July 20 and 80 in all Of the
principal cities Of the country. eight
organizations Of women will say it
with torch light professions, with all
| day professions in relays. They will
say mo more war" with posters i'll
the windows of homes, office, on
| trees, on fences, on automobiles
| and around war monuments. They
will say it with kilograms to the
president Of the United States, as.
surfing him of the desires Of the
women to have their government
proceed in it's efforts to secure world
peace. e..
And on July 81 they hope to have
it impressed upon the males Of the
| country that, women really do not
want any more war. that they have
| never wanted war, and that they are
| not responsible for past wars.
But some Of the males refuse to
| take all of this for granted and in
questioning whether women are
really greater pacifists than men re-
mind them teasingry~ OF Kipling's
famous line: 1.-THE female Of the spe-
cies is more deadly than the male"
'"That blamed old piece Of poe
] try" expostulates Mrs. Harriet Tay-
| lor Upton, leader of the Republican
women, sis all wrong. never did
care for poetry anyhow. I'm too
practical. When Il think of the
things that women have stood for
from their men all of these years /
wonder why they did not rise up en-
masse and smite them.
| Always Opposed War ..~
women have always been
| against war and always will be-.
Don't you think that any woman
wants to go to all Of the trouble Of
bringing forth child only to have
it shot when, it. grows up.
| Neither does any woman want to
have her child when it grows UP
run over by an automobile" count
ers John Thomas Taylor, legislative
secretary of the American Legion.
"It SENS that the argument always
used in supporting the theory that
women are against all war is that
because they bring children into the
world they are more vitality interest
ed in them than the fathers. It has
been my experience that the father
feels the death of son even more
kenly oftimes, than the mother"
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait once
made a remark that If women had
had the franchise a few years soon.
er there would have been no world
war. But everybody does not seem
to agree with her.
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. Her
views are well known on the sub
| ject and she has been quoted as say.
ing that the glamor of war has more
power over women than it has over
men.
| Alice Paul, Of the National Won
ans party, believes women and men
alike look forward longingly to ulti-
mate disarmament but she does. not
believe that many women want this
country to disarfn as an example to
the rest of the world.
| Future Wars Economic
MEN used to fight with toma-
hawks. Now they right with ma.
chine guns. The wars Of the flu
ture will be economic wars that will
be just as frightful as the last one.
All this is due to the pressure of
population and until the women of
the world are able to limit their fam.
lilies we shall have wars"
LET US stand together as women
opposed to war;" pleads Mrs. Anna
D. Olesen, of Minnesota, the Demo-
cratic nominee Of that state for the
senate. "The day ought to come
when war is outlawed even as slav-
cry and piracy upon the high seas
have been outlawed."
Mrs. Ben Hooper, Of Wisconsin,
the Democratic senatorial nominee
thinks along similar lines.
II stand firmly for world peace
and believe in an immediate begin
ming to that end. says Mrs. Leila
Seton Edmundson, Of Alabama,
| Democratic candidate for the house.
| when women have a voice in the
politics Of their nation cannot be-
lieve that the settlement of inter-
national questions will be left to
warfare" says Izetta Jewel Brown,
of West Virginia, candidate for the
senate
