FOR THE JOBLESS WOMAN

Women are becoming, each year, a
bigger factor in the Industrial life
Of the country. In some manufac-
turing cities, census reports show,
they constitute majority Of the
workers.
Not until recently has any effort
been made to provide employment
bureaus for women. Channels have
been open to men, for many years,
by which they could be informed Of
better fields of employment. The
tide of male employees has followed
in the wake of the demand, and the
Federal Government, through the
Department of Labor, has aided this
adjustment.
Now the same department pro-
poses to do a similar service for
women. Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett
chosen as its head, made an appeal
to the Federation Of Women's Clubs
yesterday to assist in the work. Mrs
Barrett seems chiefly interested in
the reformatory effect Of the pro.
posed arrangement, and believes
many girls will be saved from de-
linquency by its operation.
In the long run such an effort
must succeed or fail on it's merits
as an aid to industry. 1t will be
accompanied by 4 similar moral eff,
feet on women employees as the
male employment agencies have OF
men. In every period of general en-
ployment, there is a raising Of the
moral tone of a community, ant
when jobs are lax, there is CORE
spending increase in commission Of
crime.
Club women may find a fruitful
field for work in aiding such move
ment. 1t will require publicity IL
every section Of the land to be eff
fective. This the club women car
give. Employers will welcome tn,
idea, and avail themselves of the aic
the bureau will give them.

THIEF GETS SHERIFF'S
IRONS AND ARTILLERY
Takes Officers Grip While Latter
>, Stops at Spartansburg.

There is a sneak thief down near
Spartansburg. South Carolina. who In
due forsthe surprise of his life when he
opens a grip which he purloined yes
terday.
On the very top OF an extra shirt and
a few fresh collars, with which the bag
Ia packed. lie a pair of brand new hand
GUNS and a very business-like revolver.
So, IL he didn't know II before, the
thief will not be long In ignorance of
the fact that he chose as his victim an
officer OF the law. And that Is Just
what happened.
A sheriff. who because OF his misfor-
tune remains nameless. was on his way
to Washington yesterday for two color
ed prisoners. He left his grip for q
moment In the Spartansburg waiting
room. When he returned 1t was gone.
He arrived here last night minus
handouts and artillery. His deficiencies
will be supplied and he will start back
tonight to take the trail of the sneak
thief.

Many of the families who 20 to the
camps never ask for aid, but their limit
ed incomes would not permit them to
take outings of any sort unless they
were guests OF the camps.
One of the most deserving cases so far
reported is that of a mother OF nine
children five young enough to 70 to
the camp. The father Is an invalid,
and works only occa sionally, then for

Nhere are other stories like these

women who do laundry work who arr

MASTERS OF THE SEA, But.

All thought that the Germans have
wrested the mastery Of the seas
from the British, or even that they
won naval battle in any determin-
ing sense, may be dismissed from
the mind. On the contrary, after
cutting up a smaller and weaker
force, the German fleets were driven
into their home ports, with losses
which CROWN scope and seriousness
as the details come out.
What happened, as the news now
begins to make clear, was that the
advance squadron Of very consider
able, if not the greater, part of the
whole German fighting navy, came
up with some units of lesser fighting
power of the British feet. These
fewer and lighter ships undertook to
cut off the German advance squad
ron, only to find that they had run
full tilt into the great battleships of
the Germans. None the less they
engaged against the overwhelming
, odds, making a gallant but hopeless
fight until the main British feet, a
long distance off, could send dread
naughts into the, battle. Then the
tables were turned and the German
fleet was hammered into its own
ports, with even battleships reported
lost.
But while the British mastery of
the sea was thus absolutely con-
firmed and while the boldly attack
ing light squadron of the British was
gallant to degree, the fact remains
that it fell into an ambush when il
set out to catch cruisers and was
itself caught by battleships; at that
1t dared too much when it engaged
the heavier and more numerous bat
tleships. l. ....7r
1t is bad strategy to get caught in
an enemy's trap. 1t is worse judg-
ment when so caught to stay there
if it is possible to get out.
The British are still masters of
the seas and Germany is still block
AIDED by the fleets of the allies; but
the naval star which has shone re-
splendent since the days Of Eliza
beth is dimmed.

Experienced Politicians Predict
Justice viii Be Named on
Early Ballot.
CONTINUED. from First Page.)

Johnson and many Of the delegates
don't like the idea of making advances
to the Republicans.
Mr.. Perkins In earnestly seeking ANAL
estly for Roosevelts nomination, but
he does not deem II advisable to try to
club the Republican convention into
submission.
The radical Bull Moose continue to
advocate prompt nomination of the
Colonel, and serving an ultimatum on
the Republicans to take him or go down
In sure defea@in November.
Colonel Roosevelt himself may come
on from Oyster Bay to handle the Bull
Moose situation. He Is the one man
whose word will be accepted as law by
the belligerents of the third party.
n Is widely doubted here whether the
Colonel would sanction a plan of run
ming on o third ticket against Hughes
or against some Republican candidate
entitled to be regarded as reasonably
progressive. Thus far. the exchanges
between the Bull Moose and the Re-
publican camps have been informal, a
great deal of comforting has been going
on.
Perkins and other Bull Moose leaders
have had talks with various Republican
leaders. These talks are intended TO
pave the way to more formal exchanges
later.
mhloTWy IOr heunlOn.
II 10 evident that the desire OF the
great bulk of the Republicans and the
great bulk of third party men Is for re-
union and a united fight against Wilson
and the Democrats. But this does not
mean that radicals In both camps may
not kick up a lot OF trouble.
Speculation is still rife as TO how far
the Intervention of big business of the
Colonel may drive Republican delegates
to him before the contest is over. II
has become clear, however that some
elements of big business are supporting
other candidates.

Roosevelt with the public.
The Colonefs speeches for American
Ism and preparedness have stirred SEN
timent profoundly in this part OF the
West Testimony to this effect is heard
on every hand.
The Chicago Tribune and several other
papers have completed a post card poll
OF Republican voters, in representative
wards OF a number OF cities. Roosevelt
Is shown 10 be far ahead in Chicago
having about Ave votes TO one as
against his nearest competitor, Sher-
against Hughes. However, the dele

coNdREssMEN AND CADETS

There is one section of the adj
dress which the President made to
the graduates at Annapolis Fri
day which should be plainly printed
and sent to every Congressman who
has hitherto or may hereafter seek
tlemency for cadets from his dis
trict. What the President said was
this:
Once in a while when youngsters
here or at West Point have forgot
that they ought not to do. and were
about to be disciplined, perhaps Sc
verely, for 1t, i have been appealed
to by their friends to excuse them
from the penalty. Knowing that I
college they commonly say to me.
You know college boys. You know
what they are. They are needless
youngsters. very often. and they
standards Of responsibility that old
er men must submit to-"
And l have always replied. Yes.
] know college boys. but while these
youngsters are college boys. they are
Of the United States. They are not
merely college boys. II they were,
I would look at derelictions of duty
on their part in another spirit. but
any dereliction of duty on the part
Of a naval officer OF the United
States may involve the fortunes of
a nation and cannot be overlooked"
II is just this attitude which in
terested Congressman should take
when appealed to by constituents to
save some cadet who has failed to
show himself worthy the continued
confidence of his superiors.
