It was the intention of the Government, within a few days, to release unconditionally, all suffrage prison ers. [so ends, for the present, the war of women against men. As of old, the women become the nur turing mothers of men, their sisters and uncomplain ing helpmates. The future lies far ahead, but let this preface and this volume close with the assurance that the struggle for the full enfranchisement of' women has not been abandoned; it has simply, for the moment, been placed in abeyan When the clash of arms ceases, when norma l, rational society resumes its functions, the demand will again be made. If it is not quickly granted, then once more the women will take up the arms they to-day generously lay down. Erhere can be no real peace in the world until woman, the mother half of the human family, is given.
