Excerpt from Women's Work in War Time AN power is rightly accounted one of the decisive elements in the world war. But Woman power also must be included in any survey of the myriad forces enlisted in the tremendous conflict. Such a war, summoning all the energies of nations, has revealed to the belligerent powers a huge reservoir of latent human energy in their women, and even their children. Woman in the harvest fields had before now been a common sight in Europe; but to-day her toil has been almost infinitely multiplied in amount, scope and in its sources of social origin. What Europe has achieved, and what mistakes Europe has made, are to-day Of keen interest to the employers Of America, now that we are ourselves in the war and are facing a steadily growing shortage Of labor.

Excerpt from Women's Work in War Time: A Handbook of Employments "The Women are splendid." That was the title which I gave in 1914 to an article on the women who are helping to win the war. Within the moderate compass of some 160 pages the writer of this compact volume develops this agreeable theme. The way in which the women of the Empire have rallied in hundreds of thousands to its aid in the hour of need is one of the most remarkable, though not unexpected, features of the war on its "home front." In days of old the brave women of Carthage sacrificed their tresses - their "crown of glory" - to make ropes for their soldiers. The women of the Empire are not called upon to do that, but gladly and willingly vast numbers of them are sacrificing their time and energy - in some cases, it is to be feared, even their health - in working by day or by night to supply our fighting forces with munitions of war and in many other directions not less important. Mrs. Usborne's volume is divided into two sections. Part I. consists of a guide to employment. Many women are asking, "What can I do? How can I help my country?" Here will be found the answers to such questions. In Part II. the authoress compiles a series of chapters from different pens, describing in some detail many of the vocations enumerated in Part I.

Excerpt from The White Morning a Novel of the Power of the German Women in Wartime When she was fourteen and her sisters Lili and Elsa sixteen and eighteen they had met in the attic of their home in Berlin one afternoon when their father was automati cally at his club and their mother taking her prescribed hour of rest, and solemnly pledged one another never to marry. The causes of this vital conclave were both cumulative and immediate. Their father, the Herr Graf, a fine looking junker of sixty odd, with a rov ing eye and a martial air despite a corpulence which annoyed him excessively, had trans ferred his lost authority over his regiment to his household. The boys were in their own regiments and rid of parental discipline, but the countess and the girls received the full benefit of his military, and Prussian, rel ish for despotism.

Excerpt from Women of the War But I must leave the book to speak for itself and teach its own lessons. It does not profess to be an exhaustive account of women's work in the war. It is content with the more modest task of selecting and describing some typical cases. I know the seru pulous care with which it has been prepared, and I heartily commend it, not only as a trustworthy and uncoloured delineation of actual fact, but as a message of stimulus and inspiration to us all.
