The history of India is full of the heroism and courage of Its women in the past. The war has shown that their spirit is unabated. Hart J!oIpcl In War. "The women of India are equally noted for their charity and compassion. I know how deeply they have been moved by the desolation which the war has brought into many households, and how ready they

have been to provide relief for the i

tdrk and wounded, and to lichten the privations of their poorer neighbors. "I rejoice to think that many influence are at work which make for the great well-being and advancement of the women of India. I watch with the deeped interest and sympathy every step that I? taken to bring the means of education and knowledge more within their reach, to provide greater facilities for their obtaining proper medical relief through the agencj of their own sex in women's hospitals or in the privacy of their own homes, to widen their interests and Activities, and to secure to them the adequate protection of the law.

women, lining thp streets during the I rot-pption to Vir Id Marshal Sir Ioup-! lis H;il. commander of th British I armies in France, cheered him to j the echo. j

"They were vitally changed from the women who used to be carefully escorted to pre-war paceants in the Indon streets." oterves one paper. "It was evident thce women had learned the right to cheer. Genteel flutterinpr of scrappy handkerchiefs is no longer pood enough for the women who have worked and waited through the prey days of sorrow, when war heroes come home." Women in Uniform. The crowds needed no urRin; to make way for women in uniform. They soon found line places, and were among the most insistent in calling for Field Marshal Haig while the official party was lunching in Buckingham palace with th

king. High and shrill rang their voices. "We want Halg. We want Haig," and when that failed to bring the commander of the British armies in France to the T-aTcony, they led the refrain "Haig, Haig. Haig." As this did not set the desired re

sult, they finally gave it up and led j

the great crowd in singing "Ilule Britannia." They were here, there, everywhere, and were as much the spirit of the occasion as were the the soldiers of whom great numbers turned out to welcome their chief.
