MILITARY SERVICE FOR WOMEN

Fraulein Pauline Werner, one of the
leaders of the feminist movement Of
Germany, has come forward as an ad.
vocate of military service for young
women. Men have developed physi-
cally and Intellectually, she says, by
reason of military training and women
are entitled to these same advantages.
She is not an advocate of battlefields
and maneuvers for her sex, but rec
ommends the domestic side of military
service; she would put the women in
to the army kitchens, clothing stores
and laundries. This training, she
says, will increase rather than dimin-
ish womens marriageability and their
usefulness as wives, and at the same
time it will be an excellent thing for
the comfort and efficiency of the army.

Special to The NetOs.
Washington, D. c., May 31.-In view
of the fact chat by far the greater
part of the mail matter transmitted in
the United States is carried by rail
for some part of its journey and that
these trips vary from few miles to
the entire span of the continent, it is
surprising to learn that the total cost
to the Government Of the services of
the railways in carrying the mail
from the point of its origin to the
town or city Of its destination is less
than the cost of local collection and
delivery.
That such is the fact, however, is
shown by the figures given in the
Postmaster Generals report for the
year, ending June 30, 1910.
| This report shows that the total
payments to the railways for carrying
the mails throughout the preceding
year were $49,340,63S.
For the same period the cost of
rural delivery was $36,S44,96S and
the cost Of city delivery was $31, $685.
639 making a total of s6S,52S, sos or
$19,1S7 ,969 more than the cost of mail
transportation by rail.
ing letters and mail packages over the
| few blocks or at most the few miles
that they must travel after reaching
the office of distribution, Is approx
mately forty per cent greater than
the amount paid to the railroads for
transporting them by fast trains
/ throughout the entire country. In fact
there Is abundant evidence to show
that the railway mail service is not
only the cheapest service rendered to
the Post Office Department, but 1t is
also the cheapest service rendered by
the railroad to any of their patrons.
Comparison of the revenues derived
by the railroads for carrying the
mails with those received for express
and passenger service, on the basis of
space furnished on trains, show that
the former are far lower than the
latter and in the opinion of compe-
tent authorities who have been study
ing the question they are so low that
they impose a loss of millions of dol
lars every year upon the railroads of
the country.

Washington. May 31.-Among the
members of the House of Representa-
tives, the Democrats and Republicans
alike are in a dispute over the pro-
posed wool tariff. They We're stirred
mp by W. J. Bryan's attack upon the
Democratic leaders for drafting a
revenue measure instead of putting
wool on the free list Mr.. Bryan's
criticism was the subject for lively
discussion today The reply of Rep
resentative Underwood, chairman of
the Ways and Means committee to
Bryan's attack brought the feeling in
the party over the wool question
strongly to the front. Though con-
siderable hot talk is looked for at the
caucus tomorrow. Mr.. Underwood is
confident his position will be support
ed by at least two thirds of the men,
bers of the House.
"The Democratic voters said Mr..
BRYAN, know that all needed revenue
can be raised in less oppressive ways.
and they know the argument that the
tariff on wool is proposed as a reve-
nue. tariff is merely a subterfuge en-
ployed because those who employ it
are ashamed to say that they favor
protection"
The Nebraskan warned against the
drift of Democrats toward a proteC-
tive policy, which, he said, is most
marked in those Democrats who have
among their constituents influential
benefciaries of the system"
