ENGLAND IS CALLING .ON HER WOMEN NOW They Must Do Their Bit"
 for the Country |CONSCRIPTION URGED Some Authorities Think This Will Have to Come If Volunteers Are
 to Be Secured in Campaign
 Workers
CONsCRIPTION URGED
By JOHN S. STEELE

London, June 25.-(Special )-"Now that the men are all under orders, it is time that every woman realized that she must do her bit for her country. If she does not do 1t voluntarily, she must be con- scripted like the men" This statement was made a few days ago by Commander Locker Lampson. M. P, who has started a movement for the conscription of wom- en for war service, which is taking hold of the public imagination and which, even if it does not bring about actual conscription, will certainly largely in- crease the number of voluntary women war workers.
 England is now in the preliminary stages of another great enlistment cam paign, similar to that which ragged throughout the country in the first IS months of the war. Then the blank walls and boardings were covered with appeals to men to join up and fight for their country. Now 1t is suggested that the old pictorial appeals be adapted to the new circumstances and used to in duce women to work for their country.
 One of the favorite posters was that representing the little boy asking his father: Father, what did you do in the great war;" and the father, who did nothing, covering his face in shame. l have seen a sketch for "Grandmother, what did you do In the war;" poster, which, 1 am sure, if it ever reaches the walls and boardings will attract many girls as the original attracted men. Post ters of happy girl intuition workers at work and at play in their clubs and recreation rooms have also been designed and are ready for exhibition as soon as the preparations for the campaign are complete.

Conditional Forgiveness

From the ChlcagO HeraId.
 Harry and James, brothers, were ir their playroom for little recreation after supper. Harry hit James, and in the midst of the quarrel the nurse happened in with the news that it was time for them to retire. James was put to bed first. The nurse said:
 You must forgive your brother before you go to bed You might die in the night
 After few minutes elapsed James re- piled:
 Well, I'll forgive him tonight, but if I don't lie he'd better look out in the morning."

TO CONVINCE IS PROBLEM

The problem before England now is to convince these girls that they must do something for their country, failing that, to compel them. They are all intel ligent able-bodied girls. who would make excellent workers. and they are willing enough. but they are prevented by the snobbery of their class from undertak- ing any work which they do not con- sider 'ladylike." They are willing enough to undertake nursing in a Red Cross hos pital or even to drive an ambulance. and the thing they like most of all Is to sell little flags in the street for the various war charities but they look on real work as degrading and qndignified.
 Of course this does not apply to the whole class. Thousands of girls of good families have entered the intuition works and are making shells and thousands more are working on the farms at the lighter tasks which women can do. As a matter of fact it is on the farms that women are needed most just now. There Is large amount of farm work that women. under skilled direction. can do just as well as men, and there is less prejudice too, among the middle classes against their women doing this kind of work than there is against them enter ing factory. Several organizations are now at work enlisting girls for the land giving them a modicum of training, and sending them off to the farms in large parties. By this system they are en- abled to work in groups of friends. or at least of acquaintances, and to cater for themselves more or less in the way that they have been accustomed to.
 BACK TO THE FARMS
 The curious thing about the situation is that these town girls are replacing the country bred women. The farmers and farm laborers' daughters have for years been Hooking to the towns, to enter domestic service. the factories and the shops. Now the town girls are taking the places which they have deserted on the farms. In many districts milkmaid may now be seen for the first time in a generation The old-fashioned country milkmaid surrendered her place long ago to a cowman. Now the cowman has gone to the war and his place is filled again by a girl but by a girl bred .n the town who probably never saw COW at close quarters until she took up her new job. Some of the farmers declare that the town girls want to spend too much time grooming the COW and muck ing out the COW house, but added clean Illness can only lead to the improvement of the milk supply and incidentally to the better health of the COW.
 There is still. however, vast reservoir of female labor to be tapped in England, and many people believe that only con- scription will tap it.

 In 1541 the great river stretching half a league over was seen by DeSoto at the Chickasaw Bluffs, Memphis.
 Somewhere on the rivers bed, at the bottom of the waters he discovered, lie DeSoto's bones He died of the fever of the country and, in order that the In- dians might not know that the Great White Chief was dead. he was lowered, at midnight, into the stream by his com panions.

EVERYTHING THROWN IN

The fact is that Britain has now thrown everything into the Mar and has made up her mind that the way to win is to put her last ounce of strength as quickly as possible into the struggle. She needs more and more men and every woman who takes up intuition work, farm labor or other useful employment releases a man for the fighting line. It is Just as important to keep up the countrys food supply and certain branches of its trade as to fill the ranks of the army, and unless the women come forward in larger numbers, able-bodied men must be kept back for this work.
 So far the women of the working class have done nobly. In their case there has been the double inducement of patriot ism and high wages, and in addition to that they have the habit of work. It is almost impossible to obtain female labor of the domestic servant, shop girl or fac- tory girl classes now, and even typists and secretaries are hard to find, for the partments have absorbed vast amount of girl clerical labor It is the girl of the middle class, the daughters of the doc- tors, lawyers, ministers and business amen who are wanted and who have not as yet come forward in any large num- bers. These young women have never worked in their lives and in the ordinary way never would work They spend their days and night visiting, playing tennis, and going to the theatre-waiting for the man to turn up and marry them. In many cases now the man will never turn up, and in many others the man who was to have married them has fallen at the front or returned a hopeless wreck.

lie waterpowers forever and for moth
ing. Both Roosevelt and Taft vetoed
bills drawn on the same principle
Yet, by another reversal, the Wilson
administration got behind it, and
when widely circulated public ap-
peal was made to the president for
his help to defeat it, he refused.
As to waterpower on the public
lands, there is but one reversal in
stead of two Wilson first, by the
mouth of member of his cabinet,
endorsed the Ferris bill, which was
mainly good. 1t was replaced in the
senate by the Myers bill, which is
thoroughly bad. Among other things
this bill actually throws the Grand
Canyon, the greatest natural wonder
of America, wide open to individual
appropriation. Nevertheless, Wilson
reversed himself in order to give it
in the same way his endorsement.
Both as to waterpowers on naviga-
BILE streams and on public lands, the
last reversals leave the administra-
ton standing with the special inter
ests against the people.
The Phelan oil land measure, would
hand over to private individuals who
have no legal rights the valuable oil
lands set aside as reserves for the
navy. The navy department has made
public announcement that the mere
threat of the Phelan bills passage
has caused it "to seriously consider
the advisability of abandoning" the
pol1ey OF constructing oil burning
ships. Only oil burning ships can de-
velop and maintain the high speeds
required in modern war, and without
Them no navy can be even second |
class. The secretary Of the interior
actively supported this surrender of
national safety to private greed The
secretary Of the navy and the attor-
ley general opposed it. Wilson re-
NAMED neutral and did nothing.
Because Wilson refused to take
'ides, or took the wrong side, the
question whether the people or the in
erests shall win or lose in the
shields and Myers waterpower bills
nd the Phelan oil bill is still un-
ettled. These bills are still before
ongress, and will pass or fail at the
oming session. The public water
overs and the efficiency of the navy
re at stake. There can be no COM
romise between the men who would
rab the public resources for private =
rofit, and those who would conserve
lem for the use of all the people.
