WOMAN AND WAR.
Bv Grace D. Brewer.

Woman and war! Woman and
war are not Synonymous. They
are not thought Of in the same
terms. They are antagonlstlc III
every sense. Woman hates war
She hates it because it steals
away the darling son and fathci
only to send them home mangled
or dead. Woman is at last dis
covering that war and its advo-
Gates have been lying to her these
many ages. They have told her
that woman has a noble part to
play in all great conflicts; that she
must resign herself to her fate
and rejoice that her son and faith
er have been called to defend her
home and to die for the father oY
mother land
But it can no longer truthfnlly
be said that the soldier uniform
captivates the heart Of woman
and that her admiration of the
soldier hero is one Of the things
that spur men on to battle and Nl
death. Woman now looks bcyonE
the uniform of blue with its glit-
tcring buttons, the flashy mus
kets, the fine military display and
the martial music. The poetic and
sentimental side of woman and
war, If indeed there ever was
any, has vanished. She is be
ginning to see what her ances-
tors, perhaps. failed to see, the
sordid hand of greed and the de
signing methods of kings and fl
nancial rulers.
The woman Of today is not
afraid to voice her protest against
militarism and preparedness.
That false patriotism which the
mOthers Of the past carried about
to conA%al breaking hearts is un-
known. Standing erect and ad-
vocatinc peace she does not notice
the epithets of cowardice and

THE MANN ACT AND
BLACKMAIL.

The Mann act was a Iaulahlr Ct
fort to check the whitc-SiaNe
traffic. But since it has been
found to have a weak point where
mlscOnstrUctlon can creep IN. II
has been fertile source of money
making for blackmailcrS. The
Federal Government has recently
uncarthcd an organized gang Of
men and women who haze been
using the Mann Act aS an excuse
to get hush money in Iare" sums
from unwary victims. most Of
whom rcrc led into thrid diff
cultics by members Of 'hc "a z.
Insofar as the Mann Act has
become an invitation to black
mailcrs, it ought to i" improved
But 'hlackmail existed ION" before
the passage Of this law, and it
finds thousand forms i1dcr rcnd
cnt of it.
The only safe thin. for per
son threatened with blackmai is
to inform the police, stand his
ground, and face the necessary
publicity. Many innocent people
caught in some situation which
could be mise onstrucd have paid
blackmail, fearing that if the af-
fair were made public the truth
would not be believed and their
regulations wolld suffer. Doe
tors and lawyers with growing
children to protect have often
come into this class. But il is
never safe to pay blackmail, no
matter what the conditions. or
what the threats. The one who
has paid any sum at all 70 a black
mailer is, if the secret comes out,
branded by his fear as guilty.
And payment is no security
against publicitv. It is the chief
characteristic Of the blackmailcr
that he cannot be trusted to keep
faith.

Man Who Failed Test Has Engineer

Under the lax civil service methods

for political henchman of the Wares to
hold an important engineering post for
the city despite the fact that he has failed
completely in a competitive examination
in which II was hoped he would qualify

statement issued by the Citizens Repub-
lican League
The specific case referred to is that of
Frank Remmiline, 1902 Arcadia street who
is now on the city's payroll as chief en-
gineer Of the Lardner's Point pumping

that he failed completely at an examna-
tion early last month. after having re-
ceived a provision appointment January

was engaged in fixing typewriters" in
City Hall. Two men, Robert Thompson,
1915 West Harold street, and Henry p
Blessing, AIS Edmund street. qualified for
the job, according to the published lists
but the statement alleges that the civil
service commissioners skipped them on the
ground that there were not more than
four qualified applicants and continued
Remmiline in his post.
The civil service act provides that no
provisional appointee may hold office more
than three months. The Citizens League
asserts that although this three months
