CHINESE SOLDIER GIRLS
Dr Edward H. Hume, a missionary to China, lecturing before the University Club of Buffalo, New York, said : " Perhaps the most tremendous force for the success of the revolution m China has been the power ar.d influence of the women. When young girl students don trousers, shoulder rifles, and volunteer to fight for the freedom of their country, as hundreds of Chinese girls have actually been doing during the past few months, they are bound to stimulate the cause as millions of fighting men could not do. As militants and. as representatives of the new thought and the new learning, they have helped marvellously m laying the foundations for a safe, sane, and progressive Republic."
