WOMEN AND WAR.

The part that the women are playing in this war Is the subject of a fascinating article in the current issue ot “T.P.’s Journal of Great Deeds ol the Great War,” and the writer says: “Not to men alone go the glories and the honors of this war, not for men alone are the trials and the wounds, the dangers, the deaths, and the grinding fatigues of the inarching column, the rain-drenched camp, and the shellscarred firing line. The women are demanding their share of battles, the women are taking up the rifle, the women, too, are out to war. In the lighting line they arc fighting, under the beat of shell fire they are risking their lives with the high, strong courage of the bravest soldiers; behind the firing line they are serving their homeland with a valour that smiles at death, with an endurance that scorns fatigue. They are taking their places in the long and tortured wards oi the wounded as of old, but they are doing more than that. They are taking their stand shoulder to shoulder with fighting men. The Amazon spirit has re-awakened. Through the smoke of the fighting Boadicea drives her chariot again against the massed ranks of her foes.”
