SOLDIER OF FORTUNE'S CALL..
II shows a" One spirit of pa
triotism wlu-u thousands of Ser
vians, (irecks and Bulgarians,
many of whom have been yea \*
away from their native lands
and have learned the ways of
America give up their lies in the
now world to go hack to die if
need he in the impending wnr
with Turkey. It shows also ho\v
deep sealed is the hale ofllie
Olhinaii that dominates the people
that for centuries groaned un
der his yoke.
Unfortunately this apparent
show of patriotism has its re
verse sidf, in that it teaches us
Mi at in naturalizing many Europe
ans we signally fail in making
them, true Americans. They are
Americans for business reasons,
and perhaps those from the
countries now engaged in war
seek the folds <>f the American
ilag for the purpose of protec -
1 ion.
But the war in the Balkans
will bring an influx to that re
gion other than that of men re
turning to flght for their native
soil. The soldier of fortune will
have his day. For decades lie
has had to be content with pcttv
squabbles of South and Central
America, with little real fighting
and less at stake to make th»
man want to fight. The revolt
i:« Mexico against Dia'. rltracl
ed the Italian (iarihaldi, a floor
;ei.eral or two and a 'lu ober ol
{•('venturous Americans 5.ut was
;<i best but a guerilla r.flair.
The war in the Balhans will
another story. The united I
ilength of (Jreecc, Serb ia, Hul -
Pi1'!!] and Montenegro will be
,»il'e,| against Turkey. a«.d lit •
men mi hoth sn!«»s' have the rep

th^ necessity of distracting at

Io .remember what this means,

the talk of partitioning the "Sick
Man's" domains, may well recall
'hat. with all Ih•• ii* hi'roic li^hl -
ing. Itnssia saved them in I87H,
It will tic the old strife of
l.liristiaii against Mohammedaji
— still a cause to attract advon
^Pirils. Over all will hang
danger that Itnssia and Aus
tria will become involved and the
possibility that all Europe n.av
berrfnie entangled. The call is
just such a one as the free lance
everywhere has hen waiting for,
and it is safe to prophesy that
many an alien will be on the tir
ing line before the powers halt

large life.
As she has moved out from the)
savage home in to the life of tile
community she has given man
the executive ability (if such sov
ereigns a» Maria Theresa and the]
spiritual courage of such saints
as Catherine of Sienna or Eliza
beth Fry. She has enriched
men's intellectual domain with
such women as Sappho, Char
Browning, "< Jeorge Sand,"
"<ieorg Elliott," Harriett needi
er St owe, Ilosa Honheur or Eliz
abeth Hut lei'.
Now modern life has developed
a new and hitherto undreamed-of j
class of women. These are inJc-j
pendent, profej-.sionol or wage
earning women. They are chal
lenged by a modern spirit and
they accept its challenge
This spirit is that of woman's
essenlirl equality with man, not]
in identity of functions but in
equivalence of faculties.. The
chalh nge is to make the most of
I .
j herself and to become more m
• d'spensable than ever to the
!world as its mother.
The women of the whole world,)
: some of them consciously, most.
<>f lhem unawares, are assisting

Women of ihi* working class
!^i\e of their scanty wages to
jsi'tve their daughters from h»s
j ing their habiei throimh the fac
tory.
Average wives and mothers,
helpless dependents financially
on husbands, are giving <>r their,
modest means to obtain some
thing better and more self-re
specting than they themselves
have experienced.
Women of the leisure classes
give lime, funds and energy to
equalize the burdens of existence
for their sisters.
The (professional and wage
earning women are working
harder than any other women for
the same secular emancipation
of their sex.
This new woman, the modern
woman is working for the social
redemption of humanity. To
society regenerated she will be
mother of all living.—Ex.
