BOY STUDENT WAS
 "GIRL" FOR NIGHT,
 THEN GOT 'FIRED''

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
 Lincoln, Neb. Fifteen-year old George De Ford, freshman in the Ne braska State university, has set that institution by the ears by dressing himself up in girls clothing and in that garb attending mixer" from barred.
 Implicated with young De Ford were nine young women and the 10 have been suspended by the university au- thorities until January 1. Four of the nine young women collaborated With De Ford in the gathering of the nec- essary materials and in adding the fin- ishing touches after he had donned the essential of the garb The other five lodged at the same house and because they knew all about it and didn't tell, the dean included them.
 Afterward it was discovered that the landlady also had known of the joke" that was to be sprung and she was or dered to appear before the dean and give reasons why her boarding house should not be put on probation.
 Supposing themselves to be free from the espionage of mems optics, the girls at the mixer" indulged their fancies in the matter of costume. There were Gold Dust Twins, Charlie Chaplins, George Washingtons, circus ladies, pre- sumably small girls in short skirts, testers, Pecks Bad Boy and even fire crackers. A football eleven was present in costume. There also was a bevy of pajama girls in the garb made famous on the stage.
 In and out of the motely crowd De Ford moved several hours without de- tectoin. He was attired in a "middy" costume of blue, with a plaited skirt On his head he wore red Tam O. Shanter, drawn close about his face. The neatest touch was a long braid of light hair that depended from under heath the cap. He wore girls shoes and lavallier.
 A newspaper man got hold of the story and printed it. There was scur- rying in hot haste. De Fords costume was traced to the ownership of a girl in the boarding house and when she was confronted with the charge of complicity she confessed, and all the others were brought before the deans of the two departments.
 De Ford is the youngest student in the university. He is from Staplehurst, Neb., and is a former student in Mid land college, Kansas He is regarded as a prodigy, entering the university at 15 three years younger than the average attendant at college.

CHILEAN BONDS ARE BOUGHT IN LONDON Situation In South America, Disturbed By War,
 Improving

London, December 2S.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-The announce ment that s1,0O0O00 worth of Chilean gov ernment bonds have been purchased in the London market on behalf of the re- public's sinking fund, is a reminder of the improved economic situation in South America.
 ''The first effect of the outbreak of war;" comments the Times, was to &C., centuate the depression in business there and to lead to numerous defaults on se- curities held in this country.
 But the substantial rise in prices of practically all it's commodities exported to Europe which ensued later, stimulated commercial activity, and ina compara- lively short period signs were discernible of a healthy state of economic convales- cence. Nitrate, which at the outbreak of war was almost unmarketable, is now commanding double the price which ruled then, and the revival of this industry no doubt has been of considerable assistance to Chile's national finances.
 'To Ter credit, also, it should be point ed out that, in spite of the difficulties caused by the war, Chile can claim the distinction that at time when de- faults were almost the order of the day she played her part in upholding the best traditions of South American finance by the faithful discharge of her

DIFFERENT TRADE CUSTOMS

One of the difficulties which the star ring committee is meeting is caused by the differing trade customs In different parts of the country. In many trades, such as textile manufacturing, for in stance, it is the custom in one district for women to do certain work that in other districts is done by men. The com mittee rightly argues that if a woman in Huddersfield can run a certain type of loom a woman in the Stroud Valley, where much the same kind of goods is manufactured, can do it just as well, but the trade unions are insistent on sticking to the present custom. They are demand ing guarantees that If they yield and allow women to do the work now, these women will be displaced after the war, and it is obvious that such a guarantee, while easy to give, is almost impossible to carry out.
 Employers may promise or even sign an undertaking to discharge their women war time employees when peace comes. but what will happen when the employer comes on hard times and finds large reserve of skilled women labor to use as a club for beating down wages? This is the problem that so far the united wis dom of England has not succeeded in solving and until it is suived 1t will form a strong argument for the trade unions against relaxing their ruies
 Another problem Whlch IS racing the recruiting authorities, both civil and mill itary, is how to protect the starred man from the attentions of the recruiting ser geant after he has been starred. The re- cruiting sergeant is paid extra for every man he brings in and he is often con- veniently blind to the fact that man has been starred. He persuades the starred man to enlist voluntarily and it seems hard that man who is willing to risk his life should be denied the privi- lege of serving his country in the field. A case in point is that of an aluminium manufacturing company on important government work which complained that although all its men were starred it could not keep them. The recruiting officers in that part of the country were so per- srasive that the men were continually throwing up their jobs to enlist and the output of the company was therefore re- ,stricted

ing and she doesn't whistle the latest mu-

One of the trades which has absorbed the largest number of women to take the place of men is the railway industry Nearly all the great railway companies have substituted women carriage clean- CTS for men. Women are now collecting tickets at most of the big depots and there is talk of employing women con- ductors and ticket collectors on the trains Women are also acting as light parcels porters at the depOts and as cloak room clerks, signalmen's assistants. booking clerks and telegraphists. The railway managers declare that they are quite satisfied with their work.
 Ordinary commercial clerking offers wide field for women. The starring com mittee has decided that there are at le ast 150000 commercial clerks in the coun- try that can be spared and whose work can be done just as well by women. There are more than 3OO,0OO men of military age clerking in England and Wales, and it is estimated that about half of them may either be rejected by the doctor or may be doing essential work. The home office las asked the secondary education author ities throughout the country to start at cnce on scheme of training women to fill the vacancies, and most of them have already a system of day and night classes in full blast.

On Strategy

From the Washington Star.
 A we'll known army officer said at dinner in Washington. apropos of strategy:
 'The strategist must be very quick of decision and very prompt to execute what he decides. There must be nothing of Jiggers about the successful strategist
 "A friend, you know. called on Jiggers and found the man bending over a shirt with rapt, dreamy, perplexed look
 Whats up?' the friend asked
 We'll said Jiggers. I'm in a quan- dary This shirt is too dirty to wear and not dirty enough to go to the laun- dry, and I can't make up my mind what to do about it'.''

obligations to her creditors. One result between the South American republics and the activity of business in such places as Paraguay is to be attributed partly to this cause.
 Moreover, the United States has, by enlarging her banking connections in the south, encouraged oversea trade and we learn from private advices that the posi- tion in Brazil is gradually improving. thanks partly to this assistance

representative audiences of teachers, mer- chants and men of affairs. The newspa- per press is almost uniformly interested and helpful on occasions of this kind, and the visitor of distinction and of public service at home is made cordially and warmly welcome
 Tt is in high degree important to null tiply such visits on the part of represen- tat1ve men in the various American re- puollcs. The barrier of language will be broken down, or surmounted as a knowl- edge of English becomes more Widespread in the South American countries, and as the ability to read, to speak and to write opanlsh increases in the United States. Bonds Of common interest in finance ana Tn commerce are already being forged between the peoples of the several Amer ican republics. These bonds will be fol- lowed and strengthened by others in due tlme There will thus be developed a gen. tune American public opinion and a gen. tune American understanding and point or VleW, that will be common alike to the people of the United States and to those or the other republics to the south
 In order that MT. Bacon's report may most effectively accomplish it's purpose. it IS now published in two editions, an Eng 'lsh edition for circulation among English speaking people, and Spanish and Portu- guese edition for circulation in Latin America

BLOOD AND IRON"

No. 114 East 1Wenty-eghth street, New York. l In Blood and Iron" vou read "b;s- | tory in the way of mans life in terms | ol wee ana Virtue. You do not need to cease to be a human being in order to understand this new method of writing history and biography. It IS the story of the Origin of German empire as revealed by the character of the founder, Bismarck For 1000 years, men have endeavored by self-flatteries to link their lives with the gods. For this, the breed of historians is largely responsible; every nation has It's chaplains to offer prayers before the battle, expressing the mystic belief that God is on "our'' side And regardless of mans proud brag of passing still another life on distant 1 star, man reserves for himself in this life the use of the fagots and the lash Despite this lapse, man is always able in history to leap the gulf between promise and performance, between spir- itual anxieties as to the state of his soul and his practical every day inter- ests.
 Never forget that what man consist entity continues to do, in spite of all ,, the high brag of the historians is to go on loving, go on hating, go on eating, go on fighting, and go on praying. He is not inconsistent in doing these op- posed things.
 He is merely acting like human be- ing.
 And this is Mr Gruesels theme, as worked out in Blood and Iron''
 Perhaps you do not like it, but what's the odds?
 How very dull this world would be if all men were of identical opinions, and bayed to the moon the same hymns?
 Gruesers book recalls Thackeray' s lines:
 ''How very weak the very wise
 How very small the very great"
 And still Blood and Iron'' is not a cynic's book, nor yet disillusion. It is history in human terms, in the way of mans life as expressed in vice with an occasional glimpse of fleeting virtue. OTHER BOOKS RECEIVED-REVIE LATER

HARD TO DECIDE
 WHAT MEN TO GO
Most Newspaper Workers Are Not Indispensable to National Workers. Difficult to Determine What
 Trades Demand Service of Men

London, December 16.-(Special.) )-"It is easy enough to get the women into the various industries now, but how are we going to get them out after the warp
 This remark made the other day, by labor leader to the committee of of ficals who are charged with the duty of deciding what men can be spared from industry for military service and what men must be kept at home to keep the wheels going round summarizes the at- titude of a good many Englishmen to- wards what is now the most pressing problem that England has to face in connection with the war.
 Lord Derby's recruiting scheme has been a success, so great success that it threatens, by withdrawing too many men from industry to interfere with Eng lands power to finance ner allies and to supply them with munitions of war, not to speak of carrying on the ordi- nary activities of life at home. No one expects that all the ordinary activities will be carried on, but there are many that are necessary and some of them must be carried on by men. It is to decide what activities must be continued, what can be done without, what need men, and what can be carried on by women tLat the committee above referred to has been set up. It consists of officials from the home office, the war office, the local generals office, and it is now sitting daily hearing applications from employers of all sorts to have some or all of their men employees Starred A "star" against a mans name on the official register means that he is doing necessary work at home and must not be asked to enlist. It is comparatively easy for the commit tee to decide what activities are unneces- sary and can be done without in war time. The far harder task is to decide what trades demand the services of men, and what can be carried on by women. The task Is complicated by the natural anxiety of employers to retain their skilled men, and even more complicated by the way in which the women of Eng land have come forward voluntarily since the war and assumed duties that every one up to now thought were the safe preserves of men,

Through him she comes to believe that paying her debt'' to her benefactor must be the chief business of her life.
 Then love comes.
 It sweeps before it all ambitions All desire to be great singer dies within her. But with it's death her wall of debt assumes appalling heights. She is bruised and torn in her struggle between her loy- atty to the man whose debtor she feels herself to be and her love for the other man. But her effervescing wit and humor bubble through it all.
 It is story of living characters, nat ural, human and vitally interesting The character of the heroine is irresistible quaintly philosophic delightfully."- original, and altogether lovable.
 There are many laughs to be had from the pages of the book and an occasional laugh with a tear just behind it.
 CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT FOR IN
 TERNATIONAL PEACE" S)lVlSlOn or intercourse and Education:
 Publication No. D. By Robert Bacon
 Washington, D. c.
 In Preface" by Nicholas Murray Butler, to Robert Bacon's book entitled Carnegie Endowment for International Peace,' this noted scholar explains fully the motive of the book and among other things says:
 No small part of the work of the di- vision of intercourse and education of the Carnegie endowment for international peace is done through the medium of in- ternational visits by representative men, Experience has already confirmed the req sonable assumption that such visits are useful, and in high degree helpful, in building up a spirit of international friendship and in developing international understanding. A careful reading of MT. Robert Bacon's report of the details of his trip to South America in the summer and autumn of 1913 will show precisely how such visits as his contribute to the peace and good order of the world. Ma tional ideals and national policies are carefully and alphabetically explained, not only to leading personalities in the countries visited, but also to large and
