ing the governments new scheme of

This is an appeal to every able

TO enlist In the industrial war service.
Ihat women have forestalled this ap-
peal Is shown by the fact that In one
society alone the women's emergency
corps received 5000 offers Of personal
service during the first two weeks OF
the war. The fact that this service
mas not been largely utilized up TO
the present is attributed TO tho atti-
tude OF the men workers. and not to
'"e iack OF response among women.
The present emergency and tn.
governments appeal to women furnish
more propitious occasion for Great
i
honors In which other countries have
already set us an example. In Russia
all honors and decorations are con.
ferred on women who are doing mems

that railroad ownership OF the Chcsa-

them being used as a weapon to com
pei the Pennsylvania to give the South
better freight rates. AS AN iEuStra-
ton, he stated the south bound

the combination water-and-rail rate

than the all-rail rate. He made an
other charge that tho railroads col

Mr.. Thorn and Mr.. Moore. in cross
examining MIR. Boolc. declared that
there is no movement OF freight be-

bay rate. which AIR. Boolc submitted
and which was higher than the all

rates which was urged as being I'M

They also asserted that the Bay Line

that the disaster had occurred were
kept secret that the British cruisers
would continue their search for the
German.
Early IN December it was reported
