Wlm t cnii tlio women of America
Co to hul win this wnr? Two thing
aro certain; one Hint thoy can do n
gront donl and another (lint, unless
the war Inula ton years longer, they
enn never do so much as the French,
English nnd Italian woman hnvo done,
they can never suffer ho much as the
French, English and Italian woinun
have sulTered,
To me, returning to America after
two years In the wnr countries, the un
touched gnyety of the American people
enme ns a terrific shock. I hud left a
world as black nnd silent as night; a
world In which I hnd seen no dancing,
a world In which I had heard no spon
taneous lnughtor or except In (ho ense
of mllltnry hands no music. At first
the atmosphere of America was almost
unbearable. I wns obsessed with the
desire to get hnck to the nlllcd coun
tries, to suffer with them, rather than
enjoy tho compnratlvo comfort of n
comparatively unnroused America.
The luxury everywhere appalled me.
Those hundreds of motors gliding
through our streets for Instnncol
Prlvnto motors hnvo long ngo disap
peared from nlllcd Europe. The beau
tlful fnbrlcs, the, furs nnd luces, tho
gorgeous sport clothes nnd tho dazzling
evening dresses which still distinguish
tho womon of America.
Ban on Evening Clothes.
Tho first time I wns Invited to a
dinner pnrty on my return, I woro n
long-slcovcd high-necked gray-and-blnck
gown and found myself n wren
among birds of paradise. No woman
of Franco would think of wearing eve
ning clothes. Indeed, both men nnd
womon aro prohibited by Inw from ap
pearing In evening clothes at tho thea
ter. On tho few social occnslons In
whlcl! they tnko part, French women
nro dressed In blnck gowns with n lit
tle laco nt tho neck nnd sleeves. Eng
lish women still wear evening clothes.
When their men return on their rnro
leave from tho front, they cover their
aching hearts with no much guyoty ns
posslblo In order to send' them back to
tho fllth and tho vermin and tho rats
and tho dnmp and tho cold and tho
wound and the constnnt sight of death
psychologlcnlly refreshed. Hut mft of
tho evening dresses that tho English
women aro now wearing dnto back to
tho beginning of tho wnr. And strang
est of all, pcrhnps, for a country at
war, thoso lustrous streets with their
rows of electric lights and their vivid,
flashing, changing, Iridescent electric
signs. In Paris, you plungo Into a
deep twilight when you lcavo your res
taurant, nnd In London you gropo your
wny homo through a dnngorous Sty
gian gloom. Then the careless spend
ing In American hotels and restau
rants. In Paris thoso plnces closo at
half-past nine. And food I Food con
ditions hnvo never been so hnd In
Franco ns in tho other allied coun
tries, for Franco has always fed her
self and Is, moreover, tho world's best
cook, nut in Itnly nnd Englund, meat
Is n raro luxury to be obtained only
once in a great while; butter and
ugnr arc long-forgotten dreams.
See Their Homes Destroyed.
And then In, the case of Franco nnd
to some degrco of Italy, tho allied
women lmvo seen vast stretches of
carefully enrcd-for ancient forest and
enormous sections of softly-beautiful
farming country turned Into metal-ridden
dumps; they hnvo seen dozens of
small cities nnd hundreds of llttlo vil
lages transformed to ash heaps; (hey
have seen so much old sacred benuty
In tho form of churches, cathedral's
and historic monuments reduced to
hills of rubblo that the whole world
must seem a desert (o (hem. They
lmvo even hnd to enduro (he extra
affront of an exhibition In IJerllu of
the art treasures looted from northern
France.
The allied women hnvo nursed tho
wounded, the tubercular, the under
nourished; they lmvo tnught now
trades to tho crippled and blind and
thoso who aro invalided for life. They
have taken euro or thousands and
thousands of refugees from llelglum,
northern Franco and Siberia. Thoy
have had to provide for (ho bringing
up of thousands of orphan children.
This has not come upon them gradual.
Ij. but all tho time und In Increasing
proportions.
Hut, after all, (heso things nro ns
nothing to tho death of tho flower of
their male youth. England und Franco
and Itnly hnve lost so much In inun
power (lint no member of our genera
tion looks for happiness ugnln during
his own lifetime! They hopo only
(or ono thingto Insuro (ho freedom
of tho next generation.
Sons All Gone.
"My husband Is u Parisian," said
a benutlfin American woman married
to n Frenchman. "Ho has always
lived in Paris. He has many friends
here. Ho is forty-five ycurs old. Ills
friends range In ago from forty to
surly, Not one has n son left."
"Thank you for your kind letter,"
wrote an English girl to u woman who
had just sunt a letter condoling with
her on the denth of the Inst of threu
brothers. "Wo find tho country a lit
tlo dreary now and we nro returnlnn
to town (ho last of the month. We
shall bo Zi home Sunday evenings. Ho
suro to come to tis often. We wnnt
lo kco nil our friends and henr what
they have been doing In the Inst three
months. Mother und father look for
ward with special pleasure to meeting
you all ngaln. Please bring any sol
dler friends; we will try to make It
gay for them."
"What news do you get from Fred
orlck,!' a friend of mine nsked of the
mother of Frederick, u beautiful mid-
dio-uged English woman who was
making n great success of n dnneo
given for somo convalescent Tommies.
"Oh, you haven't heard, have you," the
mother of Frederick answered. "He
was killed two months ngo." And she
turned (o answer with her ready sym
palhetle smile the Inquiries of a group
of Tommies gathered about her.
Fight 8ame as Men.
Hut that Is not nil. In a manner of
speaking, the women of Europe nro
fighting the wnr just as the men are.
They have not, except In (he case of
tho famous HnKnllon of Denlh, died
In battle; nnd yet a half to three
iunrters of u million women have been
killed ns the direct result of war ac
tivities. More womon have been kill
ed In this wnr thnn men on both tho
Northern and Southern sides in our
Civil wnr. That nearly three-quarters
of a million Includes the women mas
sacred by tho Turks in Armenia, by
Iho Austrlans In Serbia, by tho Uer
mnns In Dclgluin and northern Franco;
It Includes army nurses and women
muiltlon makers; It Includes civilian
women killed by shells In the wnr
zone or neur It, women killed by Zep
pelin und airplane raids and by sub
marines.
What enn tho women of America
do to equal all this service und all
this suffering?
For three yours, (he French und
English, und for two years, (ho Itul-'
Inns, hnvo stood between us nnd tho
death of our democracy.. What can

EWS REVIEW OF
THE GREAT WAR
Advances of Allies Threaten the
Whole German Line From
Ypres to Reims.
FRENCH CAPTURE LASSIGNY
Fall of Noyon Made Certain by Vic
tories of Humbert and Mangin-
Halg's Forces Give Huns Sev
eral Hard Blows North
of the Somme.
By EDWAD W. PICKARD.
Blow after blow was delivered at
tho Germans last week along the 120-
mile front between Solssons and Ypres,
and with each blow their resistance
grew weaker and their definite retire
ment In PIcardy more certain. At no
point did the allies gain any great
expunso of, territory, but everywhere
they struck they gained ground tlmt
was of vital Importance to the defen
sive system of the IIuus. When the
week closed It appeared likely that
the enemy must withdraw from the
entire Plcnrdy salient and that he
probably would be forced back to the
Chcmln des Dames bofore long. Mar
shal Foch was not only "picking the
pockets" of tho Hun, but he was turn
ing them lnsido out. More than thnt,
he was forcing tho Germans to light
where and when he chose lnstend of
awaiting their attacks in sectors of
their selection. Thus ho mndo It al
most Impossible for them to reorgan
ize their battered divisions and pre
pare for a counter-stroku thnt might
be effective.
Ha
Tho severest blow sustained by tho
pneniy during tho week wns tho cap
ture of Lasslgny, ono of the key points
Df his defensive line. Tiio town, which
tins long been hut a mass of ruins,
(vns taken by General Humbert's
French army Wednesday. In the same
attack Chlry-Ourscunip was entered,
Orval wood was taken with tho
grenade and bayonet nnd tho plateau
(but dominated the valley of tho
Dlvetto wns occupied. During the
succeeding night Humbert's men drove
forwurd between the Mntz nnd (he
Olse until they hnd reached the Allette.
Humbert's troops occupied (lie height
of Plemnnt on Thursday and then
captured Thlescourt, tints completing
tho conquest of the hills comprising
the Thlescourt massif.
This, In the opinion of competent ob
jcrvers, mndo certain the early full
of Noyon. To make assurance doubly
sure, General Mungln with another
French army was steadily forcing his
way up the left bunk of tho Olse, not.
only helping to surround Noyon but
endangering the German lines north of
the Vesle. In this Olse-AIsno triangle
the Huns were retiring rather rapidly
mid General Mangin took many thou
sands of prisoners. At some points,
however, notably Vezuponln, (hey
brought up re-enforcements nnd coun-(er-nttneked
heavily, with no result ex
cept to Increase their wn losses.
Earlier In the week Mungln's troops
had won a brilliant victory In thnt
neighborhood, In tho Vessons valley,
overcoming very heavy gas attacks of
the Huns. Still nearer Solssons, on
(he extreme right of this battle front,
(he French (ook l.nvul nnd reached
ndvnnlageous positions on the plntonu
north of tho Alsne.
H-
On Wednesday General Hyng with a
Hritlsh nriuy hit the Huns with ono
of his sudden blows, nttncklng on u
ten-mllo front north of the Anero fac
ing Hnpaume and driving the enemy
back In disorder for several miles.
Starting at dawn In n heavy fog, the
Hritlsh took Von Holow's troops com
pletely by surprise nnd before tho day
closed thej hnd enptured villnges, guns
nnd prisoners in large numbers und
had Inflicted heavy casualties. Close
behind u sweeping barrage the tanks
nnd then the Infantry rushed forward
until they were almost within reach of
Hnpnume. The Germans put up stout
rcslstunco nt some places, especially
Courcellos, but the tanks rolled iwer
them remorselessly. Meanwhile (ho
whippets" (ore about the (hid. clean
ing out the numerous machine guu
nests. The prisoners were In good
condition, but seemed very glad to bo
captured.
Next day Marshal llalg delivered an
other blow,, this time immediately
south of the scene of Byng's success,
between the Aucre nnd the Somme.
Satisfactory progress was made there
also.
On Thursday Halg let loose a third
attack, in the Albert sector extending
south to Bray. The town of Albert
whs taken und the British rushed for
ward for a gain, of several miles
despite desperate resistance by the
enemy.
Meanwhile the Germans were slow
ly getting out of the salient between
Ypres nnd La Bassco under steady
pressure by the British. The lighting
here was continuous nnd sharp for the
Huns did not wish to be hurried, but
when they moved too' slowly they were
prodded with vicious nttneks, as north
of Bailleul and near Mervllle.
fm
News from the Americans chiefly
concerned those holding the center of
the Vesle river Hue. These men mado
no especlnl efforts to advance, but
successfully held on to nil their posi
tions, despite tho grout activity of the
enemy nrtlllery. Their aviators did
much excellent work during tho week,
especially In tho lino of bombing. This
seems destined to be their particular
duty, nnd It will prove to be of ut
most Importance. The arrival at the
front of Amerlcnn-mndo planes caused
great rejoicing in the army.
In the Woevrc tho Americans, by
quick work with rifle nnd grenade,
frustrated attempts to rnld their
trenches.

Scarcity of rice caused serious riots
In Japan, the trouble spreading to
many parts of tho empire. The gov

With troops going across the Atlnn
