London, Aug 22-The Daily Chron-

ing, pointing out the Importance of
Americas sympathy, makes two strik-

Italy will enter the arena before

cation that the Jews of Russia are
about to be amancipated. Both state
ments are understood to be based OF
solid information. The Chronicle says:

cepts italy, which will enter the ar

German Press Influential.


THE fortunes of the war are being
followed closely in America, and it
would be a mistake to suppose that
public opinion is all on one side. The
German case is not without some
sympathy. There is a very influential
German press in America, with daily
papers in all the Grief cities, and COM
munication has now been established
with the Fatherland
''The coming freedom of Poland has
awakened a sympathetic feeling to-
ward Russia, which will be very much
strengthened when the emancipation
of the Jews is announced.
.Japan's Entrance Resented.
con the other hand, the participation
of Japan in the war will create new
Cross-current. The good wishes and
sympathy of the American people
count for more than one can now es-
innate in the clash of races and ma.
tons which is putting Europe in the
melting pot.
For the first time in the history OF
the great republic there is now gold
en- opportunity of obtaining the sym
patty of the Irish race in America
with England in the gigantic conflict
upon which we have entered. The
American press shows that the over
whelming majority of the Irish in
America by birth or origin are sup
porters of Mr.. Redmond and of a con-
stitutional solution of the question.
An Asset of Value.
"Not in any part of Ireland will the
final passage of the home dule bill be
more welcome than among the Amer
lean Irish. Here is an asset in inter
national friendship which is of ines
Unable value to this country at such
a crisis.
"In former years at such time the
powerful political influences Of the
Irish-Americans would have been ex
erted to infame American public opin
ion against us. The placing of the
home rule bill on the statute book
will close the long era Of bitterness,
will foster American sympathy, and
be another miscalculation and disap-
pointment for our enemies

The woman was there to find work,
any kind of work.

SEND MEN TO BATTLE
Bravery Not Alone Shown on Fields of
War. Call of France For Her Sons
DlScIOSes-French Benevolent So
ciety Already Has Obtained Employ
ment for Many WOmen-SOme Pa
thetic Scenes.

New York, Aug. 22-One thing the
war abroad has brought out promi-
nently here is that women want their
husbands to go home and fight, NO
matter what hardships be brought up
on themselves and their children. Go
to the headquarters of the French Be-
nevolent society. Watch the men who
have migrated from France walk in
with the ones bound to them by the
sacred ties of family. The call be-
yond the seas seems remote in compar-
ison with the call of the blood.
Want Their Husbands to Fight.
Nevertheless they are hardening to
the call of their country, these French
men in an alien land. They come with
eager eyes and ready hand to follow
the tri-color.
81 have yet to find wife of France
adverse to the idea of her husband
going back to battle for the glory and
integrity of the homeland" declared
Mr.. Andre Massenat, first vice presi-
dent of the society, and promulgator Of
an arrangement for the immediate re-
lief of the families left without pro-
viders.
"The women are very sad, but very
quiet. They seem to have caught the
spirit of the fight, even at this dis
lance. Without exception they are
willing to go on to the end, to make
any sacrifice, to endure any privation.
All Wives Seek Work.
This is proven by the anxiety with
which they seek work. We have had
few demands for direct charity. The
workingman who has been made a
soldier overnight comes to US with his
wife. He shows us his summons. The
fellow soldier at his side, none the
less brave because hers is a battle in
the background, asks for work We
find it for her.
While he is over there pushing into
the very mouth of the cannon, wiping
the CRIME of gunpowder from his
sweating brow, she will be here, her
ear to the ground, pushing her way
into the great army of wage earners
and wiping the sweat of toll from q
brow that may have known nothing
more wearying than a new autumn hat
or the most recent mode in couture.
1T is the test of the times. And the
women of France have proven them
selves worthy beyond the widest
dreams of womanhood."
