Miss Helen Eraser, on return to London from a lecturing tour in, America, said recently:—"The women over there aro wonderful, and it is a pity our people know so little of what they are doing. Do you know that there are five million American xvomen engaged in war work, that their Red Cross supplies work is perfectly admirable, that their war savings organisation has raised a third of the Liberty Loan? Bo people here understand that ever since America came in, and even before, millions of American women voluntarily stinted themselves of wheat flour and of beef in order to'save it for us? Do they know that all last winter'American women denied themselves bacon for our sakes? They know very little about us. I was surprised to find, and much that I was able to tell them of our efforts amazed them. Nothing struck me more than their anxiety not merely to know what we are doing, but to understand us and the English women's point, of view. They feel that this war. tor the first time in history is a woman's war as much as a man's war. The more the women of-the two nations understand one another the better it will he for us both. It was man's work that separated Great Britain and America in the old days. It is for the women now to bring them together aga-ui." ____
