proudly to the blare of martial music-,
with the cheers of an admiring; world in
liis ears, and victory beckoning to him
over the hilltops.
The woman sits alone in a solitary
home, a thousand fears gnawing at her
soul, her very Ignorance of what Is hap
pening to the mm who Is nil of life to
her making his danger seem greater to
her. She flghtH, not some one greet bat
tle against a visible foe, but a daily and
l.ourly battle that never ends against 11
thostly foe, that rises aRain to confront
her a. soon as she slays it.
N'o man on n battlefield ever stiffen
one tltho of the agony that th- woman
suffers who loves 'him and who sits at j
home, waiting, waiting, waiting for the j
news that may quench the light of dayj
;orovr for her.
Those who oppo.e granting the ballot
to women have used as one of their chief
arguments against the enfranchisement of
women that It would discourage militar
ism. They are right.
Suppose the mothers of England, and
Germany, ajid France, and RuaHla, and
Austria had been called upon to vote upon
the question of war. Do you believe that
a majority of those mothers would have
oted to have sent their splendid young
sons out to be mowed down by machine
Runs as grain la mowed down by a
steam reaper?
Suppose the wives of all of those coun
tries had beet) called upon to vote upon
the question of war. Do yon believe that
the majority of the wives would have sent
their husbands forth to be cut, and
slashed, and maimed, and perhaps killed
in battle?
Do you suppose that the tender sister
would have voted to devote her brother
to death? Or that the maiden wuuld have
torn her lover's arms from around her,
and cast the ballot that would make his
slain body but one of the pile of bodies
en which some ambitious conqueror
(limbed to heights of military glory?
No. A thousand times no. Women
know what war means. .Women know
that the echo of every shot fired In bat
tle ends in a woman's ob. Women know
that it Is women who pay the real war
debt, and when they have a voice In gov
ernment their vote will be for peace.
Yesterday In England, and France, and
tJermany, and Russia, and Austria there
were millions of happy prosperous little
homes, with children playing about their
doorsteps, with a contented wife and hus
band living their simple, useful, normal
lives.
Today thrso milliona of homes are
homes of desolation and sorrow. The
husband has been snatched away to fight
in a war whose purpose he does not un
derstand. The MUle business that he fol
lowed and that made a living for a wife
and children will go to rack and ruin.
There Is want where there waa plenty.
They will be widowed who should have
been wedded. The children who should
have known a father's protection and
guidance will be left fatherless. That (s
w hat war mean to women. That Is why
the cry of Its desolation drowns out tho
paeans of its glory in a woman's ears.
After the Civil war In our own country
there was a generation of women In the
south who never left off the mourning
they put on when battle robbed them of
son, or husband, or father, or brother,
or perhaps of all these, for there were
many families In the south In which not a
single male member survived the conflict j
Through the years that followed these
ix-i-eaved women went about clothed in
black, sombre and ghostly figures, a
living monument to the horrors of war.
That Is what war means to women, a
fcrief that Is never ended, a mourning that
ie only silenced in their own graves. Not
many women would choose this martyr
dom, of themselves, ard so when women
have the voto they will not give their sons
to be murdered nor sacrifice the men
v, ho are tho very core of their hearts to
gratify the greedy ambition of some
n thtesH war lord who would wade
through slaughter to power or wmfiit
with blood a tottering throne.

The Mystery of Comets
By GARRETT I SERWSS.
I have JuBt received a bulletin fmm
tho Uck observatory containing the lat
est orbits calculated for two of the new
comets of, 19M.
Perhaps the
reader will say;
"That doesn't In
terest me. I'll pass
on."
Rut wait a mo
ment, please.
It is true that
these comets in
themselves have
no interest for
you, unless you are
an astronomer, be
cause they are
mere minnows in
the oceans of space,
and practically In
visible to the nuked
eye. They will never scare anybody by
brandishing flaming swords across the
stars. They are not that kind of comets.
Hut they are like the little models of
flying ships with whose aid students of
aciodynamlce (that characteristic science
of the twentieth century) disentangle the
laws and principles of aviation. The pub
lic never aces the models, but some
morning It rubs Its eyes at the spectacle
of a new and wondeful ulr cor sailing
serenely overhead with 1U load of pas
sengers, guided and controlled with all
the ease of an ocean liner, because its
pilot has learned the secret from the
models.
So the study that .the astronomers arc
giving to the little comets, tracing all the
vagaries of their movements in order to
discover precisely the paths In which they
are traveling, will one day enable them
to predict the flight of aome grand, ter
rifying monster of space with such ac.
curacy that. If it be aimed but a hair's
breadth aside, they ran reassure us
against the fear of a world-tnding col
lision. The general public has not the slightest
notion of the amount of intellectual labor,
of time, or patience, of caie, of skill, of
special knowledge, of trained Imagination,
of concentration of purpose and of mind,

from a master of that kind of mental
gymnastics, hud belter try to solve one
of these mathemutkul problems In as
tronomy. Vet In our day many women attack
these problems and solve them, too. Two
or three of the greatest astronomers of
the' world, Just now, are women. In the
buletin to which I have referred, I ob- j
serve that a woman has done half the
work on one of the elusive orbits, and all
of It on the other.
If the reader Is disposed to take excep
tion to the statement that the calculation
of the orbits of comets baa an enormous
influence on the future of our race, let
him mentally chew a while uon the two
following facts, which nobody can deny:
First, as long as a man remains In ignor
ance of the relations of the earth on
whteh he dwells to "the bodies that sur
round It In space, ho Is merely a child,
Intellectually, and is proportionally no
farther advanced than" the baby that
takes the moon for a silver rattle and
readies out its hand to grasp It. Second,
until we can calculate the movements of
comets as certainly as we can those of
the moon and the planets, our knowledge
or the solar system, which Is our
home !
In the universe, can make no claim to
completeness, for, while we have got rid
of the ancient superstitions about tomeU,
we still do not know whence they come,
or whither many of them go.
Do they travel In ellipses, or are the
paths of some of them parabolas or hy
perbolas? I'ron the answer to that ques
tion depend Issues that affect the highest
Intelligence of man.

tion is: -Will 12 o'clock noon clock time
always be identical?' "
A The sun Is worst than a department
store t3-cnt clock as a timekeeper, and
for two accurately known reasons:
Kirt The orbit of the earth around the
sun is not a circle, but an ellipse, and
tho nun Is rot in the center of it, but to
one side, at a distance of Uh'.H9 mllea.
Therefore, the earth travels faster when
nearest to the sun and slower when most
distant. This renders sun clocks useless
lor any scientific purpose.

of the orbit of the earth, but thla Diane

In that Incident la a hint as to how to

good fellow turned out to he a bore? It
Isn't their fault. They are the same per
sons they were when we enthusiastically
we. fined them Into our circle of
acquaintance. The trouble la that we
are seeing too much of them. In justice
to them, for thele sakes and for our own,
we should 'give them a rest. We have
made the mistake . of wearing the
acquaintance threadbare.
When you think you' must see Mary

j ter not see her for a week. Still better
: make it two weeks. It Is not well that
! any person should lean upon another, un
j less they, too, hae become the one spirit
land flesh of wedlock. That person whom
you think you must see every day Is not
u friend. Ut is a habit, and a hublt that
may eusiiy i.ecome a bad one. It Is un
fair to our friends to w'ear the friend
ship threadbare. Don't talk with' your
chum so often that you rah tell what ahe
will say on any subject before she opens
her mouth. It some element of the un-
'known rmair. in her mind to give fresh
