It is the calm happiness of those who can- nat fail and who know that they can- not fail because they are seeking after those things which are not of the earth and must therefore continue for that very reason because, without them, the earth would become a mad- house. The greatest things are always simple and the French today are simple as Abraham Lincoln was in our Civil war. “There is no hatred even for the German, there is instinctive abhor- ence, but no wasting of words over symptoms and acts which belong in the realm of pathological psychology. Common decency draws a veil over these things and leaves them to the physician who at the end will doubt- less write the verdict and give his full skill to drawing up ‘the post- mortem;’ meantime it is day and we must work in the day while our strength and our courage is with us “‘Of course there is a natural objec- tivity about any people engaged in a great work. They forgot themselves in the enormous’importance of what they are doing. This is nature's anaesthetic. “In a small village I was in the mayor's office looking at the notices on the walls. I observed two sheets of paper containing the varlous cita- tions of a young man who had been mentioned in September, 1914 ,and several times thereafter, receiving the Croix de Guerre and finally dying heroicaliy In October, 1916. I said to the mayor: ‘What a beautiful career! Did you know this boy? The answer came perfectly, calmly, accompanied by a smile of deep ap- precmtlon‘ ‘He. was my son. He was a brave boy, and only twenty.’ “The mayor smiled very thought- fully as he said these last words and turned back to his business which happened to be the collecting of dog taxes, but I'did the weeping for* him and wondered as I looked out on the little village square so that he would not see me wiping my eyes, how any- one could doubt for a moment that those who had conquered themselves as these people have could fail to con- quer those who had lost all self- control.” i ' NEW BRITAIN | DAJLY HERALD SATURDAY MAY 5 1912, )T OF WAR ON National Guard Armored Cars Equal to Europe’s DEATHS AND FUNERALSI Mrs. Peter Fodt, Mrs. Wilhelmina Fodt, aged street, dled at the Hartford hospita! this morning following a lengthy ill- ness.

WOMEN OF AMERICA A DISAPPOINTMENT Dutch Woman Professor hak ened From Her Disillnsionment The Hague, Netherlands, May “The American woman has the lul— frage in some states, from a child she is accustomed to appearing in public and does so more easily than we do, but she has not half the freedom of movement of the Dutch woman,” de- clared Holland’s first woman profes- sor, Dr. Johanna Westerdyk, to an in- terviewer. Dr. ' Westerdyk recently was appointed extraordinary profes- sor of plant pathology at the State University in Utrecht. The remark was made as the result of a tour she undertook through the United States. Dr. Westerdyk was disappointed with the position of the American woman. “In speaking of America,” she said, “we are accustomed to imag- ine that conditions everywhere there resemble those in New York. But New York is much more European. In the small university towns in the west and the east things wear quite a different aspect. It is true that the married woman is less bound by do- mestic life. She does not have to be at home in the afternoon to get dinner ready. But, on the other hand, a pro- fessor's wife has a very busy life with- out a servant in the house. For all have their own house, and many their own car, which they drive themselves, but they don’t keep a maid because servants are too troublesome. “The American woman sees to it that she doesn't become a house drudge, neither is she the slave of her children. Further, she gets some help from' her husband. But one has the feeling in dining with her that one is glving her extra work."” But what has struck Dr. Westerdyk most of all was that the social inter- course between the sexes was far from being so free and unfettered as in Hol- land. Her men colleagues, for in- stance, thought that she might not lodge In the same hotel, nor enter a reéstaurant with them, and that she could hardly be with them in the uni- versity unless other women Were ipresent, At the Botanical society no women were admitted. She was used to so different a condition at botanical congresses that America, with its rep- utation of a paradise for women, had greatly disappointed her. Everything In America was ruled by convention, in the opinion of Dr. ‘Westerdyk. FAREWELL TO JACK TAR. Badin P.
