4 THE GREATEST BATTLE 4
4 EVER FOUGHT. - 4
4444 44444444
The bravest battle that ever was fought,
Shall X tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will
find it not;
’Twas fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or thought
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in a woman’s walled-up
heart—
Os woman that would not yield;
But bravely, silently bore her part.
Lo! there is that battlefield!
No marshaling troop, no bivouac song,
No banners to gleam and wave.
But, oh, those battles! they last so long
From boyhood to the grave.
Yet faithful still as a bridge of stars,
She fights in her walled-up town.
Fights on, and on, in the endless wars.
Then silent, unseen, goes down!
Oh! ye with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise;
1 tell you the kingliest victories
fought
Are fought in these silent ways.
Oh! spotless woman in a world of
shame,
With splendid and silent scorn,
Co back to God as white as you came,
The kingliest warrior born!
—J. M. in American Messenger.

I WOMEN’S WORK IN WAR
i (Edwin Ralph Step, in Leslie’s.)
There are now about 1,300 women
I in the hospitals and relief organiza
I tions in the Balkans. Among them
I are many noted names. The majority
I of the women comprise the nurses in
j English and Canadian hospitals. Then
I there is the Scottish Women’s hospital.
I conducted entirely by women, even to
I the operating and ambulance driving.
I At Monastic a group of Holland women
I conduct the only civilian relief hospi-
I tai in the region, paying for it out of
I their own pockets, or with money rais
j e.l by them in Holland. The English
I Serbian relief fund conducts plants for
I both clothing and feeding refugees. The
I American Red Cross society is doing
I the same thing, and just now, I under
I stand, is inaguraing a more extensive
I campaign than previously ventured.
II Less in numbers, but most direct in
I obtaining results are the individuals
■ 'who work on their own initiative.
I There are several women who have
| conducted soup kitchens, hospital can-
I teens and relief stations in isolate 1
I places and entirely without aid. Among
I these latter, who have stuck there
I through thick and thin, doing whatever
they might as the changes in the mili-
- tary situation changed the relief con
r ditions there is one woman to whom
i. belongs the biggest of all war medals.
She is a trained nurse from the Roose-
- velt hospital, New York. Miss Emily
e Simmonds. Inconspicuous in her much
-3 worn khaki suit she has nevertheless
done so much work in and for Serbia
v in the last three years that nowadays
i when anyone wishes to learn some
& thing about hospitals, it is generally a
s case of “Ask Miss Simmonds.”
One day in Salonica, a relief worker
dashed into a restaurant and de
manded of friends:
j “Where is Miss Simmonds?”
s The cheer leader of the American
t Red Cross looked up from his plate of
- bean soup and replied:
e “She’s up at Brod, feeding four
s thousand on seven loaves and a few
small fishes.”
; There was a time after the capture
of Monastir when the only civilian re
lief plant for women and children
i i a devastated area of over 300
square miles was that Miss Simmonds
ran at Brod. Because of congested
traffic on the single railway and lack
of motor trucks, she could not get
sufficient supplies from Salonica. So
she reached into her Red Cross pocket
book and bought the stuff from an
Italian army magazine at the front.
Meanwhile she lived by herself in
a “dog” tent on the bank of the rive ■
Cerna, feeding peasants and making
the mothers wash themselves and their
children with real soap and water, on
the basis of no wash, no food. Fiel i
Marshal Mithitch. of the Serbian army,
hearing of her isolation, detailed two
soldiers to guard her tent at night.
Once in Serbia before the retreat of
the Allies, Miss Simmonds and one
other nurse ran a hospital for 1,400
typhus patients for five months, with-

can doctors in the country had died
and the other was stricken with the
fever. It was here that she cared for
a patient with a poisdned foot which
required amputation to save his leg,
and life. There was no surgeon to
be had. So Miss Simmonds cut the
limb off, and the man subsequently re
covered.
