Let Us End the War and Save Belgium
The Johnstown Democrat reprints Brand Whitlock urging massive volunteer sacrifice to end the war. He calls for 400000 women and 400000 more, plus 25000 gray-haired women and 25000 young women, and 100000 additional Belgian women to march and die from starvation and battle, arguing the war must stop or women fight and die well-fed. The piece also critiques uplift and eugenics debates, citing Bateson on regulating marriage and the need for caution before any state-wide eugenics policies.
