My own point of view, that OF radical
woman and suffragist Suffrage is still con-
sidered a radical claim in Germany, is the
following: Plans promoting a thorough do
mestic training for our working girls deserve
to be supported especially that the compul-
sorry public school age be extended from Jour
teen up to fifteen, so giving whole years
time for domestic and hygienic training, for

notions OF motherhood, education and citizen

m. term state service" School training is
not a service girls render to the state, but, TO
the very contrary, present the state gives
to its children. II young girls get proper
school training il is quite as erroneous 10
speak of their state service as II would DC
to consider our school children doing state
service.
After leaving school I do not think that
women OF the non-possessing classes owe the
state any other kind of service than they are
already giving. The life Of the working wom-
an. loaded with the treble tasks OF mother
housewife and breadwinner, is more than fully
burdened, and it is a great injustice not to con-
slider motherhood perfect compensation tor
any war service OF men. The men who hght
for their countries are the sons Of mothers;
the death of every one wounds mothers
heart. and all the sadness of war is so heavily
felt by the women OF any country that l am
sure many Of them would rather give their
own lives than those of their dearest ones.

to the state so many mothers who either re-
main bread-wnners or are so fully taken up

vice without making their own families liable

,HFTHER German women ought, &C
w cOrding to the example OF men, give
certain time of their lives to COM
nulsory state service is just now much ais
,r.s.d under the influence of the experiences
undergone during the war.
At lis outbreak unanimous feeling linked
together women Of all classes in the strong

home. while out IN the battlehelds war was
fulfilling its sad task of destruction. Thou
sands Of women eagerly joined the Nationalen
Frauendienst, the great war organization OF
women. instituted in the very first days OF
August, 1914. 1t has taken under its care the
wives. widows, children and mothers OF SOL
diers. the unemployed and the poor Any
amount of social work has been done. 1t is
also partly due 10 numerous branches OF that
national society, spread all over the country,
that the whole population has been able to
keep I'D a sufficient standard of nourishment
defeating the plans to conquer Germany by
hunger.
Yet among the army of women offering
their services for nursing or social work only
q certain number have proved TO be qualihed'
and as to the rest much time has been wasted
in picking out of the lot those able to do
proper work from a rather appalling quantity
Of girls and women, whose good will was OF
no use as they never had done any social
work. never. before the war, had cared Tor
o.i., duties and, the basis lacking, were ut
tsrlv Unfit TO be given any responsible post
now.
On the other hand, the increased interest
.bown to the women Of the working classes
during the last year has made it more evident
than ever that industrial development has sim
cerely damaged the worldwide known quail
ties Of the German housewife, which, by the
bye, foreigners having but superficial idea

worthy type OF GernaN woman existing! Now,
as 10 the broad masses, we have very nearly
100000 Of female wage-earners, and natu-
rally professional work, entered Immediately
after school, has proved a severe enemy to
the old domestic virtues.

Possibility That the State Will Ask
Cor Part of Their Lives Concerns
the Thinkers of ALI the Fac
tiOns--Conservatives Favor
the Plan

as long as women did no state service they
fulfilled fewer duties and so could not be re-
garded as worthy of citizenship.
From different sides all kinds of schemes
were drawn up, pamphlets and leaflets were
published, lectures held and even society for
promoting the state service Of women, Bund
fir webche Dienstphicht, was founded
The plans for the end vary according
to their orginators and their point Of view.
Conservative, or let US frankly say, reactionary,
factions are in favor Of womens service, hop
ing to tie women again entirely to the house
wife profession. Some educational specialists
support the idea because they consider COM
pulsory drill and discipline excellent means
for forming the character. Some promoters
of social hygiene think it in the very first line
for strengthening the physique of making our
girls healthy and strong for motherhood.
A number of prominent social workers go
in for state service because, according 10 their
belief, social training is necessary for every
woman and because they are convinced that
by means Of an army Of social soldiers we
shall be able to extend all branches of social
work as well in peace as during war Others
again advocate a year OF domestic training
for the girls of the working classes, and well
known reformer and philanthropist has worked
out most complicated system for the diff
ferent classes of society, an imitation of mems
military organization, compelling all women
from the age of sixteen up to thirty to state
service.
NEW PLAN OF SERVICE.
Some of his proposals are, for instance, that
the girls of the working classes should go to
their service in families with many children,
where the house mothers should be bound to
give them the necessary domestic training;
that after this they shall submit to a peace
service Of several weeks during seven years
in social institutions and shall remain up to
thirty at the disposal of the state for war
service. 1t need not be said that advanced

in the fact that it was the first meet

kaiser has been so busy on his vari-
Gus fighting fronts that he has not

a separate peace with all of the al

velop and circulate at any time dur

chances are always against their
truthfulness. At any rate, it may be
assumed that if there is any sub
stance whatsoever in the suggestion
that Austria is seeking the basis OF
separate agreement with the allies
Emperor William will do his utmost,
and probably successfully, in the

such a procedure. Austria is in no

Democratic Preliminaries.

Harmony is a mighty good watch
word. and the democrats in Congress
need it in their business Can they
employ it successfully through the
session? There will be much use for
it in both houses.
In the Senate caucus start was
made yesterday by the reelection OF
Mr.. Kern to the majority leadership
OF the Senate. 1t was decided that
one satisfactory term deserved an
other The Indiana senator is in
complete accord with the admins
tration, and will be in confidential
communication with the President as
the different questions come up.
Team work between the two is as
sured. Moreover. the honor recon
ierred will probably help Mr.. Kern
in his campaign next year for sec
ond term in the Senate The In
diana situation is bit disquieting for
the democrats, and Mr.. Kern will
need the help.
Tomorrow, it is expected, Mr..
Clarke OF Arkansas will be chosen for
second term as Vice President pro
tempore.
Some doubt has been thrown about
Mr.. Clarke's case owing to his action
in the last Congress on the ship-pur-
chase bill. He led the democratic op-
position which defeated that meas
ure, and there has been no announce
ment of change of opinion on his
part. Will he oppose the measure
again? 1t is understood he will have
the chance
Another very interesting question
is this: Will Mr.. Clarke support clo-
ture? and, if in the chair when the
question comes up, will he rule in
favor of the proposition? 1t is an
nounced that, owing to his wife's ILL
ness, Vice President Marshall will
not be present when the Senate con-
venes, and may not be in his place
for some days later
Mr.. Clarke, ii presiding, will con-
front a two-fold embarrassment. As
the temporary occupant of the chair
he will be called upon to rule upon
motions of permanent and far-reach-
ing importance, and at the same time
to bind his own hands as member
of the Senate in favor of ship-pur-
chase bill possessing the same char
acter to which he objected in the last
Congress. For there is a wide
spread belief that cloture at this time
has particularly to do with passing
the purchase bill.
The House democrats are consult
ing behind closed doors, and have
anything but an easy job. With all
the care the committee on commit
tees may take, it is certain not to
discharge its duty without infiicting
some pain. Old members will want
advancement and new members a fine
start, and everybody cannot be
pleased.
