Title
The Widows of Belgium
Description
"Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth and subdue it. - Genesis, i.28."
"I am thinking now of German women. When I was on the battlefield of Vionville I thought of how nobly they gave their sons, their husbands, and their lovers to assist in the work of regaining for us the Empire. It is incumbent upon them to bring up a new generation of vigorous men. In our mother, our good German woman, lies a vast reserve power that none can overcome. - The Kaiser."
