War Not Only Kills Bodies But Ideals MRS. HENRY VILLARD, President of Women's Peace Conference.

Must the pride with which women point to the life saving character of the work of the numberless charitable agencies throughout the country--with a resultant lowering of the death rate in our great cities--be offset by the slaughter of our best beloved ones on the field of battle or their death by disease in camps?

No longer ought we to be called upon to be particeps criminis with men to the extent of being compelled to pay taxes which are largely used for the support of the army and navy.

Moreover, a recourse to war as a means of righting wrongs is full of peril to the whole human race.

Not only are bodies killed, but the ideals which alone make life worth living are for the time being lost to sight. In place of those finer attributes of our nature--compa.s.sion, gentleness, forgiveness--are subst.i.tuted hatred, revenge and cruelty.

Partial suffrage has taught the women of Illinois the value of political power and direct influence.

Already the effect of the ballot has been shown in philanthropic, civic and social work in which women are engaged and the women of this state realizing that partial suffrage means so much to them, wish to express their deepest interest in the outcome of the campaign for full suffrage which eastern women are waging this year.

So we say to the women in the four campaign states this year: "You are working not only toward your own enfranchis.e.m.e.nt but toward the enfranchis.e.m.e.nt of the women in all the non-suffrage states in the union. Your victory means victory in other states.

You are our leaders at this crucial time and thousands of women are looking to you. You have their deepest and heartiest co-operation in your campaign work for much depends upon what you do in working for that victory which we hope will come to the women of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Ma.s.sachusetts in this year of 1915."
