V HE -greatest work of in
| spired art is the decoration
l P 8 of the Sistine Chapel by
‘ Michael Angelo.
' © 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
ing Adam, bas in mind. a better and a
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 créatures 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 buman 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 Burope 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
sustice to woman and recognition of her
supreme qualities in the past. ;
o 8. B
Millions of women in Europe are work
ing with an unselfish enthusiasm of which
the male workers have shown themselves
incapable. In the factorids, at the hard
est kind of labor, to which they are not
aceustomed, uncomplaining, the: women
work.
It 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 hospitals.
Any man in Europe who knows any
thing knows that women are bearing the
brunt of this war. It is safe to predict
that at least ifi the countries nearly civil
ized the end of the war will see the end
of injustice to women, will see women
&pssessing at last the right to decide
ITH THE MEN upon,war and peace,
upon the safety or the butchery of their
gons.
& & &
Thanks to the war, the ideas and the
jdeals of men have changed. By the time
the war ends they will have changed more
radically.
We no longer hear the stupid remark
that woment 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 ijued
by Cyrus the Great, King of Persia. It
was toward the end of Cyrus’sreign, and
as men generally do, ke misunderstood’
women.
Travelling with his friend Croesus, the
sichest man in the world, the King whose
life he had spared, Cyrus thought it
would be eacy to conquer a woman.
Taking the advice of Croesus, when he
sanie near the army lad by the son of the
Nueen, he left his camp supplied with
The World Is Learning from This War That the Best of Created 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. P
The End of This War Will See Justice to Women in Civilized Countries at Least.
And When Women Get Justice, Which Is the Ballot, We Shall Be Near the End of All
Wars.

The Prince captured camp, made
himself and his soldiers drunk. Cyrus
came in and captured them.
The young man asked to be réleased

to Herodotus, ‘‘sent a herald to Cyrus,
calling him ‘bloodthh‘:g',’ and saying,
‘Pride not thyself on poor success,

Cyrus paid no attention to the woman's
threat. His army was conluerod, and
‘“He fell, and we are told how Queen
Tomyris took a skin, and, filling it with
human blood, dipped the head of Cyrus
in the gore, with the words: ‘I live and
have con?uered thee in ght. and yet by
thee am ruine& since thou tookest my
son by guile; but thus I make good my
threat, and give thee thy fill of blood."”

Such women as Queen Tomyris, more
like men than women, have been numer
ous in history. The first Catharine of
Russia, a number of the Medici women,
Elizabeth of England, and others real
ized to the full ntie stupid ideal of those
that think no human being is worth while
unless he or she can fight and shed blood.
The masculine motion that woman
should be kept inferior, unless she could
show the flg‘hting qualities of a bull
terrier, has died out. This war will see
the end of it.

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
of her cave.
From the beginning she has been the
civilizing force, the power that has grad
ually replaced brutality with gentleness,
and that will eventually eliminate war.
If you sag that is impossible, because
men are fighting now, you argue feebly.
If you had lived a few centuries bac{,
you would have seen men eating one
another’s bodies. The learned Judge
Kalisch, of the High Court of New Jer
sey, commenting recently on the chango
of human habits, quoted Froissart, who
tells how the ancient kings, when thog had
killed an enemy, ate that enemy’s heart.
Irish kings and other kings did the
same. A few years back, comparatively,
and all men were cannibals—anless, like
the Digger Indians, or other poor, de
graded tribes, they happened to lack the
energy to kill and eat anything.
Woman stopped cannibalism, and sim
ply. Woman first tamed the animals, thus
keeping on hand a supply of meat and
of milk. Woman opposed cannibalism be
cause, in times of distress, the feeblest,
the very old and the very young were
eaten first. And it was the spirit of kind
ness, developed exclusively in woman and
by woman, that opposed such brutality.

Woman has actually created civiliza
tion. Woman of the Stone Age develored
from the seeds of weeds the grains,
wheat, barley and rye that now consti
tute the world’s food and the world’s
wealth—as Herve points out in his ad
mirable history.
Woman. anxious to protect her new
born child from the rigor of travel, of
constant .nigration, produced the settled
community without which civilization
could not have even begun. _ zgg

Hitherto the work of woman has been
individual. In the cave in the rocks, on
the platform built above the water by the
lake dwellers, up in the hole in the side
of the cliff, or in the rouna nut of i\;
the North, woman has worked with her
-hildren, for her children, and for civili
zation, unknown, despised, unrewarded.
But of late, and especially in this war,
she has worked in the open. Men have
been compelled to realize what she has
done. They ha.ve'tbeen compelled to
lize her superiority. A
re?rhe end ofpthis war will see the end
of woman’s political glavery——_m&
lowest nations will be ashamed %o
back when the more civilized deal justly.
Let us hope the United States will set
the good example. A
