Copreight, 1910, by the Biar Compan).
Great Mritain Rights Rescived
. 3 HE greatest work of in
spired art is the decoration
| of the Sistine Chapel by
Michael Angelo. '
5 There are the prophets
and the sibyls with their wonderful faces,
the great judgment day scene at the end,
and, most beautiful of all, upon the ceiling,
the picture of God giving life to Adam.
Adam is reclining, God touches his
outstretched fingers and gives life to the
clay that He has fashioned.
A splendid creation is this Adam, made
in the image of his Maker. But those who
look closely observe that the Lord, creat
lngAdam.huinmindabotteranda
higher creation. For under the fold of
His cloak, as He stretches out His hand,
you see dimly the face of Eve, still to be
created, the culmination, the highest
development of the physical and spiritual
on the earth.
. . &
It is worth while to travel to Rome for
the sake of the lesson that Michael
Angelo’s picture teaches.
Let us hope the picture will still be
there when the war ends and that no
bomb will have destroyed it.
For all of the men engaged in all the
war's battles, mere passing creatures of a
moment, are not worth as much as that
work of genius, the highest product of
hundreds of thousands of years of human
work, and of tens of thousands of millions
of human beings.
Let us hope also that when the war
ends all men—even the lowest—will have
learned the great lesson of the war. That
lesson is WOMAN'S SUPERIORITY- -
her superiority in moral and spiritual
goodness, in fortitude, in endurance.
Millions of women without complaining
hear in Europe that their sons are killed
or wounded. Every boy marching to the
trenches, perhaps to his death, has been
given to the nation by a mother, who
thinks more of him than of her own life.
The heroic sacrifice of the mothers
should shame the men who have refused
justice to woman and recognition of her
supreme qualities in the past.
L
Millions of women in Europe are work
ing with an unselfish enthusiasm of which
the male workers have shown themselves
incapable. In' the factories, at the hard
est kind of labor, to which they are not
accustomed, uncomplaining, the women
work.
1t is not the women who are the shirk
ers, not women who seek to make extra
pay or extra capital out of their country’s
misfortune.
They are slaving in the fields, cleaning
the streets, handling heavy metal in the
factories, risking their lives, and going
through endless horrors and anguish on
the battlefields and in the hos itals.
Any man in Europe who finows any
thing knows that women are bearing the
brunt of this war. It is safe to predict
that at least in the countries nearly civil
ized the end of the war will see the end
of injustice to women, will see women
wssessing at last the right to decide
ITH THE MEN upon war and peace
upon the safety or the butchery otp their
sons.
& & &
Thanks to the war, the ideas and the
ideals of men have changed. By the time
the war ends they will have changed more
radically.
We no ionger hear the stupid remark
¢hat women ought not to vote because
they do not go on the battlefield and fight.
Few men are so low now as to put a Queen
Tomyris above a Florence Nightingale.
Queen Tomyris was ruler of Mongolian
and Tartar hordes, whose son was kiiled
by Cyrus the Great, King of Persia. It
was toward the end of Cyrus’sreign,and
as men generally do, he misunderstood
“women.
Travelling with his friend Croesus, the
richest man in the world, the King whose
life he had spared, Cyrus thought it
would be easy to conquer a woman.
Taking the advice of Croesus, when he
came near the army led by the son of the
Queen, he left his camp supplied with
The World Is Learning from This War That the Best of Crected Things Was Created
Last, and That Her Name Is Woman.
The Inferior Beings Were Created First—the Fishes in the Sea, the Animals on
the Land, Then Adam, Better Than the Animals, and Then Eve—BETTER THAN ADAM.
The World at War, Relying Upon Women for Health, Healing, Nursing in the
Fields and Work at Home, Begins to Realize That the Savage Theory of Woman’s
Inferiority Is Indeed SAVAGE. :
The End of This War Will See Justice to Women in Civilized Countries at Least.
Ja;ld When Women Get Justice, Which Is the Ballot, We Shall Be Near the Eknd of All

The Prince captured camp, made
himself and his soldiers drunk. Cyrus
came in and captured them, |
The young man asked to be released
from his bonds and immediately killed
himself. Meanwhile Tomyris, according
to Herodotus, ‘‘sent a herald to Oyrus,
calling him ‘bloodthtm‘ and saying,
‘Pride not thyself on poor success,

Woman, the finished work of Nature
and of Divine power, will begin now,
throughout civilization, the work that she
has done for ages within the four walls
of her house, or within the damp walls

From the beginning she has been the
civilizing force, the power that has grad

and that will eventually eliminate war.
If you say that is impossible, because
men are figgting now, you argue feebly.

But of late, and especially in this war,
she has worked in the open. Men have
been compelled to realize what she has
