.BULGAR|ANS GIVE WORLD
LESSON IN MOBILIZATION
Brig. Gen. Allison Discusses
War Now Being Waged
Against Turks.

NEW YORK, November S.-The forth
coming issue Of the Journal Of the Mil
itary Service Institution of the United
States. published on Governors Island by
officers of the army. will contain an
analysis by Brig. Gen. John N. Allison
of the military organizations Of Turkey
and the Balkan states.
Gen. Allison estimates that the Turkish
army, with a paper strength" Of 1850 :
600 men. was able to put not more than
GOO. 900 soldiers In the field.
The war strength Of the allies he places
at $4,000. of which Bulgaria furnishes
$50, 900; Servia, 10000; Greece. 100000.
and Montenegro, $1,000.
The Balkan states have given the world
a tremendous lesson in rapid and COM
plete mobilization, Gen. Allison thinks,
while the secrecy with which the move
ment was accomplished is unprecedented.
Contribute to Success.
He gives much space to the work of
the artillery and cavalry. which he de-
clares have played a large part in the
success OF the allies. OF the manner In
which the Balkan states took the field,
he says:
THE movements of the widely sep
arated allied armies up to the present
time, beginning with the probably some
what premature dash of mipetuous little
Montenegro, would indicate the direction
by one controlling mind Of skillfully
conceived and thoroughly understood plan
of campaign.
And the expedition and complete secrecy
with which the four armies were mo-
bilized and actually put into the field
with scarcely a suspicion in the minds OF
watchful European diplomats probably
stands without precedent In history

Government investigator Finds
"Social Functions" Change
Conditions on Farms.

A. sharp arraignment OF the farmers
wives and daughters Of the country. and
incidentally their city sisters. is contained
in report made today by George x.
Holmes, chief Of the division of produc-
tion and distribution Of the Agricultural
Department. Although wages have risen
steadily during forty-four years. Mr..
Holmes declares that the women of the
present age have forgotten or are too
proud to indulge in household work on
the farm The lure Of society" which
has reached out to the farm. he says. is
much to blame for the condition, which ne
describes as acute"
Country girls. as well as city girls,
says Mr.. Holmes. in reporting to Secre-
tary Wilson. seem to regard household
labor for hire as undesirable. Joined with

nor willing to repeat the manual per-

holds to be incompatible with perform
ance of household la bor." The passing
of the old-time domestic industries is de-
plored and Mr.. Holmes adds that 1t is
rare that one of the younger women
know how to knit
Throughout large areas" he says, the
pride of the housewife in great stores or
preserves, dried and picked fruits, berries
and vegetables, exists chiefly in history,
and dependence is placed mostly upon the
local store for the products of the can

Within the period mentioned Mr..
Holmes reports that wages paid to man
Iaborers on the. farm have risen as high
as 20 per cent. and that harvest nanus
are now paid upward of $40 a month,
with board. For the farm laborers who
live on the farm the year round Mr.
Holmes declares the money paid does not
represent the real value of his remunera-
tion, for the "cost Of living virtually is

characteristic of the Hebrew race. the
Council Of Jewish Women especially en-
deayors to exert its. influence toward
greater devotion to religious duties and
a more freqIient attendance upon the re-
igious services. The members of the
council are urged to feel an individual re-
sponsiblity in the observance of the Sab
bath and all holy days. and to ref ain
from shopping and all unnecessary wort
or business upon those days. They should
prove their reverence by attending the
synagogue services thus honoring the
very foundations of Judaism The impor-
tance of the practical study of religion is
urged. This is divided into two parts.
the home ceremonies and the synagogical
ceremonies.
The COMMITTEES upon religious educa tion
presents well arranged programs of WORK
for each year. and the local branches Of
the council are urged to form circles for
study along these lines.
In addition to this is the work of the
committee upon religious schools, which
aims to provide instruction for the youns
people in all that pertains to the princi-
pies of the Jewish religion. One feature OF
this work is the encouragement of the
study of the Hebrew language, which Is
taught in all the Hebrew religious
schools, although during the past genera
tion ii has been noted that il is decreas-
ing i'm popularity with the young people.
The study of Hebrew is as much mental
stimulus as is that of Greek or Latin. and
as Hebrew must ever remain the uni
versal language of worship for the Jew.
the devout educated Jewish women are US
ing their heartiest influence toward en-
larging the attendance of the Hebrew
study classes which are held in every syn

deavors to further the work of all these
philanthropies and at the same time to
exercise discretion in order that the best
results may be secured. 1t has frequent
ly been claimed that the Jewish charities S
have less of the pauperizing tendencies
than those of other organizations.
The value of social settlement work
was accepted by the Council of Jewish
Women almost from the beginning. and
settlements are supported In many cities.
In these various lines of activity are car

of the neighborhood. If lace making is
a prevailing industry, or the manufacture
of wearing apparel, or hat making, the

likely to find a situation. Domestic
science classes are always in operation.
and most of these are especially design
ed to teach foreign women American
methods of home-making, thus doing
patriotic work In preparing Tor future
citizenship.
While more classes are conducted for
women than for men,, the Hebrew settle

of the whole family. The settlement is
not designed to be wholly place of
study or of recreation, or of Industrial
work or religious training. It aims to be

Is frequently revealed by the Jewish
women who look after these immigrant
girls member Of the, council In Chica-
go recently reported finding young i'm
migrant girl literally starving although
she was good seamstress and was en-
ployed with a tailor. He was paying her
% cents day, often requiring her to
work until late at night. AS she paid 81
week for her room. she had only 10
cents week left to supply herself with
food and other necessities. Her employer
stolidly stated that he paid her what he
had agreed. The girl was too ignorant
of the customs of the country to protest.
but her gratitude was pathetic when she
was placed in a position where she re-
ceived s. a week for her work.
One of the more recent activities of the
Council of Jewish Women has been to
establish an auxiliary to the Inter- Munic-
ipal Research Committee, the duty of
which is to conduct Investigations of en-
ployment agencies in different cities,
grave moral dangers to young women ap-
plying for work. Frequently advertise
ments of agencies will be circulated in
other cities. thus attracting girls in hope
of work. BY correspondence it has been
possible for many dishonest employment
bureaus to be exposed through the ef-
forts of this committee. and many young
girls saved from ruin, and others from
financial loss, through the agency not be-
ing bile to fulfill its promise of en-
ployment.
