They are working women. It is all the home they have. Mother Ryther has given her life to this work. She wants to go on with it. “I am not In want,” she said today, “I have enough for my- self.

The country over which the tremendous battle, now well along in Its second week, has been raging, is a desolate picture. Farmhouses blackened with artillery shells, haystacks turned into smoking mases, roads zig-zagged with trenches and broken by the great wheels of transport wagons and gun carriages that have passed—these are the evidences of war on every hand. Cannon fire has smashed trees and blown deep holes In the fields. A land as broad ngland looks as though a great hurricane, full of a lightning which missed nothing, had passed over it. A long procession of motor cars, wagons, pantechnicons, anything on wheels goes continually south, taking away loads of shattered men. Nearer the firing line one comes upon villages where the walls of houses have collapsed into the streets, and wrecked furniture, agricul- tural Implements and farm carts show where the barricades and ma- chine guns were placed. Many cottages have mattre half filling the window panes, where the riflemen had made a stand.
