THE SWORD OF DEBORAH
F. TENNYSON JESSE
"Women are timid, cower and shrink
At show of danger, some folk think;
But men there are who for their lives
Dare not so far asperse their wives.
We let that pass—so much is clear,
Though little dangers they may fear,
When greater dangers men environ,
Then women show a front of iron;
And, gentle in their manner, they
Do bold things in a quiet way."

FOREWORD
This little book was written at the request ofthe Ministry of Information in March of 1918;it was only released for publication—in spite ofthe need for haste in its compiling which had beenimpressed on me, and with which I had complied—shortlybefore Christmas. Hence it may seemsomewhat after the fair. But it appears to methat people should still be told about the workersof the war and what they did, even now when weare all struggling back into our chiffons—perhapsmore now than ever. For we should not forget,and how should we remember if we have neverknown?
