ROME. Raly, May 15. — "It wont,
| he necessary for the women lo : ma- ■>. j
S windows and go to Jail to get their |
lights when this war is over," said
! Miss t'ri tohel I’ankhurat to a corn
[ pondent of the Associated Frees du:
! ing her visit liere for the purpose of
forming a closer organization of the
women of Italy with those of Fra^c
and England.
"Thi- war i- lielplng the ran <* '
women wonderfully,” she continued.'
"Wc will appreciate this fact when I
the war Is over. Resides, Europe
then will hn mentally and spiritually
i fifty wears ahead of where It was
I before the war started. There has
[ been an exaggeration, for Instance, of
jlhe amount of physical destrurto.i j
j caused hv it, lint one cannot exagger
ate the mental awakening it has
brought, and tills means a brond-u
| outlook on the position of woman.
“This mental male revolution was,
sorely needed both in England and I
in Germany. 1 leerthat in helping to I
down Germany, as the women of
England. France. Italy and Russia are,
doing, by their physical work, we are
putting down the great enemy of
womankind. The Kaiser, you know,
lias always frustrated the efforts of
German women lo rise from their s -
hordinate position, and he typifies tli ■
attitude of the German.men. At that,
however, the German women will have
to fight out their own salvation after
the w ar. along with the men. They I
won't get any help from us. There
has been too much internationalism
heretofore. Now, it will be a matter
of each nation to solve many of its
own problems, and in particular the
German nation.
“England has been driven out of
conservatism at last. We women have
shown Englishmen that we are worth
something, that we are not inferior
creatures. I am sure that if women
had a say in the conduct of the war
England would have been ready
quicker. One of our misfortunes has
been that the young men. the open
minded men, have gone to the front
to fight leaving the old. slow minded
men in charge. Take the case of the
effort to get steel helmets for the
men so that they might be protected
from bullets, and especially from bits
of exploding shells. After these hel
mets had proven useful in France, the
old men in Flngland were still dis
cussing the advisability of using them.
“If women had been in charge of
the supplying of their soldiers with
protecting helmets, do you suppose
they would have hesitated to manu
facture them in a hurry? Women are
too efficient for that. Besides their
very love would have urged them on.
“Possibly the largest lesson for men
in this war, as regards us, is that wo
men know how to do man’s work, and
often better than men themselves.
English women are driving motor cars,
are working in the factories, on the
farms, everywhere. In England we
j have once more learned the lesson of
the dignity of labor with the hands,
and with women’s hands at that. To
day no womau in England, no matter
what her rank, is afraid to work, and
this is a lesson we in England will not
forget after the war. That> one rea
son why I have always admired the
people in the United States—they ap
preciate the honor of labor, of hard
work, and are not ashamed of it. God
pity them if their wealth makes them
ever forget this truth.
“ThU dignity of labor, of woman’s
labor, is going to have a large infill
<>nce on the marriage question, on the 4
question of population. It has Men
asked: , ‘What will become of the
young women of Europe of marriage
able age after’I lie war. when there
are not enough husbands to go around
or when the men feel themselves too
poor to get married and assume the
responsibilities of family life?’
"Well, the womeft who must go tin
married will bear their hard lot as
they have always borne it, they will
Work and keep on contributing their
-ervtecs to the nation, in a greater de
gree than in the past. But we must
admit that a happy marriage is the
only sensible thing for any woman,
and I think that the marrying man’s
fear of. poverty will he gotten around
in tbi: way: Womyi are ready to
work now outside of their homes, i
lin n- is no longer any stigma attached j
to it. and they will keep on doing so,
joining their wages with that of their
hnsbnmb. to maintain the home.”
