Women and War
By ELLA WHEKLER WILCXJ.X.
Copyright, 1915. Star Co.
We women teach our little aona how wrong
And how Ignoble blowa are; achool and churrh
Support our precepta, and Inoculate
The growing mlndg with thoughts of love and peacs.
"Let dogs delight to bark and bite." we any;
But human be'nge with Immortal eoula
Must rise above the methods of the brute, (
And walk with reason and with self-control.
And then dear God! you men, you wlsn, strong men,
Our self-aunounced superiors In brain,
Our peers In Judgment, you go forth to war!
You leap at one another, mutilate
And starve and kill your fellow-men, and ask
The world's applause for such heroic deeds,
You boas and strut; and If no song Is sung,
'o laudatory epic writ In blood,
Telling how many widows you have made,
Why then, perforce, you say our bards are dead
And Inspiration sleeps to wake no more.
And we, the women, we whnse lives you are--
What can we do but sit In silent homes,
And wait and suffer? Not for us Ibe blare
Of trumpets rnd the bugles' call to arms--
For us no waving banners, no supreme
Triumphant hour of conquest. Ours the slow
Jiread torture of uncertainty, each day
The bootless battle with the same despair;
And when at best your victories reach our cars,
There reaches with them, to our pitying hearts,
The thought of countless homes made desolate,
And oilier women weeping for their desd.
O men, lho men, superior beings, say,
Is there no substitute for ar In this
(Jrent ego and era? If you answer "No,"
Then let us rear our children to be wolves,
And teach tbm from the rrndle how to kill.
Why shou'd we women waste our time nd words?

A Ballade of Chance
Hf WILLIAM V. KIKK.
Your vision now is growing clear
As water in a bubbling spring;
Another swiftly-sliding year
lias left Its throno and taken wing
Into the drab past, fluttering,
Ai bats flit through a cavern gray,
Leaving behind a mocking thing--
'Hie chance you had and threw away,
Perhaps it was a comrade dear
Who had a world of love to brine.
Do you recall the thoughtless sneer
That hurt faint like a hornet's sting?
Do you recall the laiintlng fling
That sent him from your side one day?
Why does Its memory ever cling
The chance you had and threw away.
1'ernapn two brown eyes, large and clear,
Your growing coldness fathoming,
frornlng the weakness of a tear
Yet drending Fate's outrageous sling.
Are twin ghent now, so languishing
Tby chl'l you with tb!r sombre play;
Their owner thought you were a king!
The chance ou had and throw away!
ENVOY.
O I'rlnie of Darkness, if they bring
Mefori thy throne my shrinking clay,
Wpare me this memory maddening-- ,
The chance I had and threw away!
