Their Fortitude in Time of Trial Makes Traditional Protect- ors Appear Weak. To mingle with the homeless is to encounter endless evidence that wo- man is strongest when affliction presses most severely. The fortitude displayed by the miscalled weaker sex makes some of their traditional pro- tectors appear in the light of the pro- tected. The military men who have charge of the public squares are outspoken in admiration of the pluck displayed by the women. Although they are equal sharers with their husbands of the ma- terial loss and personal hardships con- veyed by the burning of their homes, the wives meet the misfortune with most courage. They are less prone to let the thought of a great deprivation overcome their energy. While many men have completely given way to despair, the soldiers say, not a single known instance of a woman succumb- ing to misfortune has been encount- ered. “If their physical strength were only equal to their moral courage,” one in- fantry officer remarked, “the women of San Franciseo at this time of trial would make the problem less formid- able for those who are trying to relieve the general distress.” The terrible strain of the past few days is beginning to tell on the men. The reaction has come as the result of the awful experiences through which the majority of people have passed and the suspense over missing rela- tives and friends is causing serious illness and in some cases insanity. At Central avenue and Oak street a man became insane and attempted to kill his wife with a cleaver. He had to be taken into custody to prevent him from injuring himself or his fam- | ily.
