A jolt to the relief workers who have
been moving heaven and earth to re
store these women to their families.
The trouble is, of course, that the re
lief workers cannot accept a point of
view so foreign to their own. They
have judged all Armenian women by
the few enlightened examples they
have seen. You may lecall that, for
a time, the Englishwomen who went
into India were appalled by meeting
with resistance, especially from the
victims, when they desired to put an
end to the custom of burning wid
ows upon the funeral pyres of their
husbands. The civilized women could
not understand why women should
prefer to die in that cruel way, rath
er than live on alone.

But when we extend our telephone plant,
