beyond the strait it is evident that the enemy has there favorable
ground for defensive fighting. That region now appears to be the main
point of his struggle.

I learn that the Turkish losses amount to over 80,000 and that 50,000
wounded have been sent to Constantinople.




"War Babies"

[From The Suffragette of London, edited by Christabel Pankhurst, in its
issue of May 7, 1915.]


"The children who are coming into the world must be welcomed
and must be provided with greater, not smaller, advantages,
because they are legally fatherless.

"Why should not these children be brought up under model
conditions, so that they may be the equal in knowledge and
general cultivation of any in the land?

"Every one of them must become a valuable asset to the nation.
But that can only be if they are reared in a generous way.
They are everybody's children, and have a claim on the
community as a whole. The problem of the illegitimate child
has been shirked since the beginning of time. Now it has to be
faced!"
