Paris in War Time.

France is presenting to-day the spectacle of
nation under arms and Paris finds herself in the
hands Of old men and of women and children. 10

regular functioning of his environment and to the
false sense Of security which these things give
him. the extraordinary etfet. OF the war on Parts
makes strong imaginative appeal Suddenly
within less than a week, Paris has lost all her
ablebodied young men, The clerks in the stores
the guards in the subways, the truck drivers, the
domestic servants, the walters, the policemen
have all been withdrawn like the nails in ne
legendary ship which sailed too near the magnetic
pole. And with them have gone all the heads of
businesses and professional men under the age
limit. and. Of course. all the factory workmen and
porers and street sweepers even the artists Of the
Latin Quarter the students Of The Sorbonne ana
the picturesque Apaches.
Rut we learn that the women OF Paris, regard
less OF social rank, have stepped into the vacan-
cies. They have become storekeepers and clerks
and subway ticket sellers. Little boys have been
ma .le subway guards aged, grayhaired men have
become mOtormen and policemen Only ~
heaviest manual labor and the more skilled work
for which no substitute worknen are available
have been abandoned.
II Is characteristic Of Paris that it should enj
the novelty of the situation instead of worrying
over the fortunes of war, and II Is characteristic
Of the mercural but capable French women that
they should show themselves equal to this emer-
cency. only to retire conteutedIy later, when the
call for their activities has passed, to the purely
feminine sphere which they 50 delight TO adorn.

The Railroads Opportunity.

Rather than further TO choke the warehouses at
the seaboard with exports for which there is no
available tonnage the railroads refusing to
transport from the interior more foodstuns and
manufactures designed for the foreign markets.
No one can quarrel with their decision under The
circumstances. and at the same time no one can
fail to realize what serious paralysis of com
merce and disturbance of values this entails.
Congress is attempting to remedy the situation
somewhat by the passage OF amendment to the
Panama Canal act which will make it easier for
foreign vessels to obtain American, and therefore
neutral registry. Would it not be both possible
and profitable for the trunk line railroads with
tidewater terminals to supplement the efforts Of
Congress by preparing to establish on the Atlantic
such transoceanc services as the Southern Pacific
and Great Northern have long maintained on the
Pacific as, indeed the Canadian Pacific has long
maintained on both oceans?
There is nothing in the law TO prevent any sucn
expansion Of railroad activity That clause Of the
Panama Canal act forbidding the ownership OF
steamship lines by railroads specifies only such
steamship lines as might compete for traffic with
the railroads. This obviously eIempts all trans
atlantic shipping, or for that matter, any service
between the United States and South America
which railroad might see At to establish. Why,
then. is this not golden opportunity for the
railroads Of Eastern America, by providing an in
tensely needed outlet for their traffic, to in
sure the prosperity OF the territory which they
serve. the enhancement of their own earnings and
the permanent upbuilding of the American me-
chant marine?

Why Mr.. Bryan Wants Mothers to
Have the Vote.
.ditor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Answering Mr.. Orkney Phil
lips's letter to The Tribune on July
20, | will begin with his first question:
"The most serious complaint against
mothers to-day, If a complaint must
be made, is that many of them do not
control as they might the environment
Of their children. Will the ballot en-
able mothers to keep their children
from evil influences and surroundings
if without it they do not"
In Colorado the women have been
voting twenty-one years; the result is
that the PARLIAMENTARY Union, a
globe-encircling organization of men
and women who play important parts
in the public affairs of the various
countries, is on record as declaring
that Colorado has the sanest, the
most human, the most progressive,
most scientific laws relating TO the
child to be found on any statute books
in the world" And of these laws not
one but has come into operation since
Colorado's adoption Of equal suffrage
in 1893.
Do you know, Mr.. Phillips, when Mr..
Bryan said, "the mother can justly
claim the right 20 employ every weapon
which can be made effective for the
protection of those whose interests
she guards" that there was more truth
than sentiment expressed? Do you
know and realize that in six of our
Southern states the father has unlim-
tied power and tina. he may by deed
or will name a guar dian for the father
and mothers child, and that the child
can be taken from the mother and sent
where he desires? Do you also know
that in twenty-six states the father
during his lifetime is sole guardian of
the father and mothers child, and
after his death the surviving mother
is the sole guardian, either condition
ally or Internationally This | know
you don't know: That there are only
sixteen states in the United States in
which a mother is a joint guardian OF
her children with the father, and It
has only been by years Of unceasing
labor that the women have succeeded
in getting these sixteen states to pass
the equal guardianship law.
Our equal suffrage states are also
far in advance of the rest OF the eoun-
try in the matter Of the age of con-
sent. California is the only common
