Women Urge Larger Navy

By L. L. C.

A WOMAN'S section of the Navy League of the United States was recently organized, and within the past few weeks 25,000 women have joined. It is expected that the number will be increased to at least 50,000 before the end of the present year.

Among the women who have come out for a strong navy are Miss Mabel Boardman, of the American Red Cross; Mrs. George Dewey, wife of the admiral; Mrs. William Cumming Story, president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution; Mrs. Daisy McLaurin Stevens, president of the Daughters of the Confederacy; Mrs. Genevieve Clark Thompson, daughter of the Speaker of the House; Mrs. John A. Logan, Mrs. Medill McCormick, of Chicago, Mrs. Craig Biddle, Mrs. Herbert Shipman, Mrs. Henry C. Frick, Mrs. Moncure Robinson, Miss Julia Marlowe, Mrs. George D. Widener, Mrs. W. Bayard Cutting, Mrs. Elbridge T. Gerry, Mrs. Vincent Astor, Mrs. Peter Goelet Gerry, Mrs. Frederick W. Vanderbilt, Mrs. John Hays Hammond, and Mrs. Willard H. Brownson.—New York Times, Oct. 10.

It seems increasingly plain as the weeks go by that the United States is entering upon a period of great preparation for war. While from the human standpoint this may seem wise and necessary, to the student of prophecy it is but another indication that the great battle of Armageddon is approaching.
