Then comes the shadow of approaching war, and they are married. In a few weeks the young husband goes to the front, soon followed by his three brothers. Word is received that the hus- band has been killed in battle, and Joan’s impulse is to end her own life, but prospective motherhood re- calls a new responsibility. The military authorities begin a movement to get women of the neighborhood to marry d. arting sol- diers, that the empire may have another generation of fighting men. Joan is aroused, and goes among the wo men urging them not to submit. For this she is imprisoned. Word is received that the King is ‘to Pass through the village, and Joan escapes from her cell to organize the women in a general protest against war. She leads them, all clad in black, in a long procession to meet the monarch. The soldiers threaten to shoot her unless she turns the women back, but Joan comes face to face with the ruler, and kills herself, as her message from the women, their refusal to another generation of victims of a ruthless militarism.
