Arming Week, which embraced all the Syrian regions, gave conclusive proof of the patriotism of the Syrians and their surpassing awareness. Woman registered a great glory to which everyone bore witness — above all the Syrian Women's Union and the wide activity it exerted to spread the idea of "Arming Week" in all Syrian circles. The women's ardor had the strongest effect in confirming their standing, and in correcting the error rooted in the minds of men that woman still lags behind the procession and is not yet mature, nationally and patriotically.

We congratulate our sister, the Syrian woman, on this laudable patriotic ardor.
