Greatest Actress Declares Emotions of “Divine
Sex” Clothed in Robes of Merey, Instead of
Beautiful Gowns of Coquetry.
Wme. Bernhardt, who is resting on Long Island after an illness that
nearly cost her life, is one of the most patriotic French women, as she is
undoubtedly the greatest living actress, In a remarkable interview she de
seribes the part of the American women in the war.
By SARAH BERNHARDT.
“Among the many awakening ideals
that the war has brought to this mar
velous gereration is a somewhat dif
ferent aspect of the woman's place in
the world.
“I do not mean that the ‘divine sex,’
as it has been called, could have ar
rived on greater heights than we
really have always held in a domain
still, I believe, controlled by man; but
that the modern woman is today an
acknowleged heroine of the war means
that woman has achieved more for the
honor of her sex than ever before in
the history of the world.
“Exceptional women have heen in
all ages, but I am not speaking ®f
them, It is woman, not of one race
or of one country that 1 am thinking,
but of all women born to meet the
burdens of this era of horror into
which we have all been plunged by a
common enemy.
“She has developed the ‘war heart.
“It is a little difficult to describe,
because man is a skeptical being when
it comes to understanding the heart
of a woman, He is so bound down
by stupid traditions of what a wom
an’s hear{ should be, or what it really
should express, that to discount his
obstinacy I shall have to point out to
him his misguided views about wom
an.
““As many previous traditions of the
centuries have been swept away by
fire in the present war, so the mod
ern woman has undergone a change
of heart—she has emerged.
“Her emotions are now clothed in
robes of mercy instead of beautiful
gowns of coquetry, |
“Her eyes look tenderly, anxiously
into the eyes of men who have looked
into the grim face of death.
“Her delicate hands now bind the
fatal wounds of men with indiscrim
inate generosity. |
Her Men Dying for Her. |
“Her heart beats for men becausc
they are dying to iefend her. }
“Men and women, in Europe at
least, have rediscovered themselves in
a new guise, in a different world of
emotion thamsgither had ever thought
of before. \ o
“She has discovered a new organic
quality in her being, the ‘war heart.’
“It is new, however, only because‘
she has always been misunderstood
by man. Her emotions have always
been just what she is demonstrating
in Europe now, emotions of heroism,
of tenderness, devotion to-some great
cause for the spirit of men. She has
never been cowardly, her bravery has
more often been the sustaining force
of men, their inspiration. . it
“When it was my privilege to go to
the front in France, I saw this change
in the relations between men and
women, this spiritualizing influence
which the war had brought in them.
“Every woman has always known
that she had in her the heroic capac
ities that she has shown in this great
war, but I am certain that men did
not realize her true greatness, her ex
ceptional courage, her maternity of
love for all men in accord with their
physical and their moral danger.
There are so many instances that
demonstrate the sacrifices that wom
en have made, for no other reason
than the instincts of their good hearts
and their loyalty of patriotism to the
cause for which the men are fighting.
The history of this war is a daily rec
ord of the ‘war heart’ of women.
“Ilt seems unnecessary to go into
the actual details of what their work
has been, how they have done it, of
the real dangers they have faced to
stimulate the wounded, to bury the
dead, That is one of the trying du
ties of the war nurses, to prepare the
bodjes of the dead for burial.
Deep Emotions Brought Out.
“No woman who has performed that
desperate duty can ever look upon life
again with the same degree of su
perficiality that she may have done in
her social world. The war has brought
out her deep fund of emotions that
have Been lying dormant in her heart,
often unsuspected by her man,
“You see women do not exploit
their sacred emotions as men do.
They do not bluster about their
strength, their courage, their endur
ance., They take no spectacular pride
in their sportsmanship. Because they
have always encouraged the men to
show their strength the men. have
grown to believe themselves to be the
masterful power of life.
“In this war there have been wom
en who have shown more strength
than men, more strength in the emo
tional confusion of pain, more
strength in the spiritual survival in
the agony of their wounds.
“It was the women who were asked
to give up the lives of tkbose they
loved, which was often asking them
to do more than to give their own.
“Tt was a sacrifice of love, as most
of women's sacrifices are. They did
it willingly and followed the men to
comfort them, This was to be ex
pected of the European women, be
cause it was their own men who were
in danger, but it was not expected of
the American women, who have done
such brave and unselfish work in the
war.
“It is to the American women that
1 especially wish to speak, for to them
the ‘War Heart' has come also. To
them the war is now a personal obli
gation, its anxieties are on the thresh
old of their homes. .
Superwoman of World.
“To the American woman no hu
mility of emotion has come. The men
in America have always placed her on
a pedestal. She has been the super
woman of the world, and therefore
much is expected of her, She has been
spared the traditions of European
women, who, for centuries, have
learned obedience to the will of their
men.
“The American woman finds her
place in the war preordained for her.
She has been given a splendid heri
tage of supreme liberty, which the
women of Europe have in great meas
ure been denied until now, when they
have confirmed thelr heroism, their
right to share the war heart of the Al
lies
“How will the American woman rise
to the tragedy of war? Will she meet
the monster with the same assurance
of individual faith in herself that has
made her so distinguished a figure at
the_front?
“] have heard the pacifisty the re
'bellious, the philosophers in this coun
try deploring the sacrifice of your
young men in the war. The ‘slacker’
)was a rare animal in Europe, and his
‘chlet enemy was women, In England
she adorned him with the white feath
er. It was the stout, unflinching,
’nghunx heart of the women in Europe
that did so much to stimulate the
'weaker hearts of some men. There
‘were not many who needed it, but
those who did were scorned and driven
to the front by the women,
» “This is the splendid hour for
American women, who must disentan
gle their lives from American luxury,
to be free and definite in their saori
fices tfr war.
“Thd men whom you send across
the sea will come back as many men
‘who have been fighting for over two
years in Europe have come back.
“You must stand as firmly behind
them, with the same steadiness of
purpose and courage, with which they
themselves leave you.
Let Men See “War Heart.”
“You must let them see that you,
too, have the ‘war heart.’
“It is not probable that the Ameri
can women who are left behind in this
country will face any of the horrors of
war such as the women in Europe
have had to encounter. It is not con
ceivable that the enemy will come to
America, but American women can
swell the great army of European
women at the front, and share the sac
rifices and dangers of the battlefield
with them.
“It will not be difficult to raise such
an army of women in this country,
because the executive temperament of
women in America demgpnstrates their
independence in the affairs of the
keart,
“It is the women who lead over here
and the men who obey. That is a re
versal of the emotional conditions that
have prevailed in Europe between the
sexes. There will be plenty of work
for these American women in the bat
tlefields, of a character, perhaps,
which is new to them, but which they
will readily assume, as many of them
have already.
“The most difficult thing, probably
for the American womew to adjust, in
this new responsibility of her ‘war
heart,” will be to forego the love of
pleasure which she has so brilliantly
pursued according to the standards of
American life. She must be prepared
to meet great personal sacrifices, ok
comfort, of luxuries that have become
necessities to her. But lam told that
there is in American women a sto
icism of courage that was splendidly
revealed in the early days of her an
cestors during the early settlement of
this great country. In those days of
revolution and rebellion she fought
side by side with the men, shared
their hardships and risked with them
their dangers.
“The ‘war heart’ of the American
women should be unprecedented.”

or more if bhig robberies to the Brook

“I never carry a gun,"” he told them.
“I am too much of a gentleman for

He added that he refused to enter a

How to Overcome
Foot Troubles
Unless a person has actually suffered
with tired, aching, burning feet or
painful corns or calluses, they can not
appreciate the misery that such afflic.
tions bring.
Reports now show that over M})er
cent of the American people suffer
from some form of foot troubles and
modern footwear is said to be causing|
an alarming increase in this percent
age. Therefore, the following should
prove of special interest to readers,
Recently in the treatment of these
foot troubles by patients using Ice-
Mint, these distinctive features were
noticeable, Tired, uchlni. burning
and swollen feet invariably become
cool, easy and comfortable after the
first application, while in the treatment
of corns and calluses, it was noticed
that after a few nights’ application,
the corn or callus had a tendency to|
loogen, and in a short time could eas
ily be lifted out with the fingerg—root,
and nll—leavinf the surrounding skin
in normal, healthy condition.
This, together with the fact that
Ice-Mint costs little and is so efllf’ and
pleasant to apply-—and is absolutely
harmless—ig no doubt responsible for!
the high indorsement given it bdy spe
cinlists as the surest, safest and most
efficacious treatment for distressing
foot troubles.
When you stop to consider that the
simple, pleasant process of rubbing a
little Ice-Mint on the foot at night
will shortly rid one of every galnful
corn or callus, and will keep the feet
cool, ecomfortable and rested even on
the hottest days, it is easy to under
stand its great popularity and why it
fg now used in nearly every American
home. Any one suffering from foot
troubles is advised to give Ice-Mint a
trial. There is nothing better,—Advt.

‘Society Cannibal,’
oclety Cannibal,
(By International News Service,)
CHICAGO, July 21.—A ‘“society
cannibal” is the latest thing in unde
sirable husbands,
Helen Raymond, actress, says that
she discovered the variety when she
became Mrs, R. J. Perry at Buffalo
in November, 1914, and she has begun
suit to divorce herself from an “os
tensible millionaire” whose chief as
set, she says, consists in his ability to
“live off his friends.” Men and women
are alike to the “society cannibal”
Miss Raymond says. Mrs. Perry, or
Miss Raymond, as she is known in
stageland, recites in her bill for di
vorce that her married life lasted six
weeks, and then she went back to
work. !
“The jewels, the limousines and the
society life he promised me were illu
sions,” said Miss Raymond. “A ‘so
ciety cannibal’ is a lovable chap until
vou find him out. 1 thought mine was
the nicest boy in the world until his
father opened my eyes., 1 met Perry
«in St. Louis and he followed me to
Buffalo. After I had known him six
weeks he proposed and 1 accepted.
He said he would go right out and
get the ring. He returned with a
beautiful diamond. Later 1 discov
ered he had borrowed a diamond
stickpin from a friend and had the
stone reset into a ring.
“In about six weeks 1 found) out
that a married woman in St. Louis
was one of the victims of my ‘society
cannibal' and that she was paying our
bills. Back to the stage I went.”

Reverses Jury Decision That Set
Aside Will of Wealthy Liquor
Dealer.
KANSAS CITY, July 21.—A decision
that atrong prejudice in favor of Ger
many is not insanity was made by Judge
Bird, of the Circuit Court, in reversing
a recent jury decislon that sets aside
the will of the late Frederick W. Meyer,
Mr. Meyer was a wholesale liquor
dealer. He left an estate of $50,000 when
he took his own life, March 17. The es
tate was willed to Mrs. Josephine V.
Boden, No. 3311 East Thirty-sixth street,
and Miss Clementine Mever, daughters.
A provision was inserted in the will
that Mrs. Boden should have only the
income from her half of the estate, the
gr?perty to remain Intact and go to her
elrs,
Mrs. Boden and her husband, George
Boden, sued to set aside the will. They
charged in a trial of their suit three
months ago that Meyer was prejudiced
against Boden because he once had
served in the American navy. That
rejudice, they charged, was caused by
fix\-any to Germany that had made the
aged man's mind become unbalanced.
