WOMEN REPLACE MEN

Nearly 900, 900 women are now at one
kind of work or another in Berlin
They have swarmed into almost every
field of activity, no matter how dif-
ficult; they are earning more money
than they ever had before; many
have lost their own bread winners
and are for all time dependent upon
their own efforts,
The probable unwillinguess of the
women to go back to their homes
after the war is being more and more
anticipated by the labor leaders. who
say the women must 20 in favor of
the men when the time comes.
BY far the largest proportion OF the
women now employed in Berlin are
unskilled workers-perhaps 600.0Oo of
the 100000. OF the remaining 800, 900
skilled workers, only small part are
customarily so employed.

GETTING RID OF

Simpson this morning while | rec
commended the adoption of courts and
places for the streets and avenues,
respectively, retaining, however, the
numerical form, this was merely sug-
gested as being in keeping with the
modern customs in other cities, and
the plan that has been proposed in
local newspaper of using east and
south as an affiX would doubtless
answer the same purpose In fact,
this is in line with the suggestion
made to me when the matter was un-
der consideration, and in connection
with what had to say before the coun-
Gil last Thursday on the subject,
mentioned the fact that east and
south had been suggested either as
a prefix or an affiX, and that this might
suit some people better than the adop-
ton of courts and places The coun-
ell at that time did not take kindly to
the idea, however, and l did not urge
it
"As a matter of fact, it is entirely
immaterial to me how the thorough

WINGED that the present system as ap-
piled to the streets and avenues re-

and that the half should be abol-

stitute is up to the council.
What l am particularly interested
in from an official standpoint is that
street signs be placed without delay,
and that all houses throughout the
city be properly numbered. This is
not the case now"

their drive into Bukowina then lie Cateau
would be reached and the British would
cut the other road to Brussels and the
main line of German supply-that which
comes from Aix-la-Chapelle, through
Liege and Namur to lie Cateau and thence
to St. Quentin and La Fere.
At Valenciennes the British would be
far in the rear and to the south of Lille !;
they would be astride the railroad from
Lille to Mons and menacing the only
other important lire leading into Lille
from the east, that from Journal. In a
word Lille would be as untenable as was
Dubno, after the Russians had broken
through at Lutsk and to the south of
Lutsk. To the south Peronne would be sim
ilarly threatened with development. if it
had not already been outhanked by a drive
from Albert.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-07-02
A Parallel.

Now to take a specific parallel. Coming
west out of their trenches, the Russians
stormed Lutsk, took it, broke through the
whole Austrian front, opening a gap per
haps thirty miles wide and penetrated
not much less than thirty-fve miles tow
ard Kove, reaching the Stachod River.
Suppose the British, attacking from Arras
and in front of Lens. should accomplish
the same thing in miles, where would they
be and what would they have accom-
plished?
Substantially the situation would be
this: Going little north of east. the
advance would pass through Douai and
each Vaenciennes. Going a little south
If east. it would pass Cambria and APP
oroach lie Cateau. In this advance the
main Lille-Paris railroad would be cut at
Douai, one Of the two principal Paris
Brussels railroads would be cut at Nalen-
ciennes and the other would be threatened
at lie Catcau. If the advance could be
pushed as far as the Russians have pushed

What to Watch.

Those who are at all interested in the
military situation should devote a little
time to the study Of the map of the part
of the Western front from the Disc to the
sea- The least trained eye can easily dis
tinguish the meaning of the railroad line.
that run parallel to the German front.
They can easily understand what it would
mean if the British were able to push east
and cut these lines. The distance is short;
it is not greater than the distance covered
by the Russians in recent weeks. but Gov
erng this distance would have a far
greater effect than the Russian advance
because Of the situation of the railway
lines. and. for that matter, the roads as
well.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-07-02
The Consequences.

In this situation there would be no
choice for the Germans. They would have
to draw back their lines between Noyon
and the sea they would have to evacuate
Peronne and Lille. But they would have
to do more than this. At Noyon their
line turns due east and runs to the Meuse
before Nerdun. The sectors of Roye, La
Fere and Laon are supplied by the rail-
roads which the British would have cut.
They would be in the position Of the Rus
sian Carpathian armies after Mackensen
had penetrated the lines of the Dunajec
army before Tarnow.
Given a smashing success with little
warning. the Germans in the angle be-
tween Ptronne and Scissors would be in
grave danger of being enveloped; they
would be in a nasty corner and 1t WOULD
require extreme skill TO draw them out.
They would, too, have to retire through

The Chance Of Success.

say again, | have not attempted here
to hint or assert that the German lines
can be broken. Personally | believe the
thing is entirely possible; but far better
informed critics, who are much more quail
flied to hold an opinion, assert that the
thing is impossible. But have endeav-
ored to show what would happen if the
lines should be broken and the successive
phases that the operation would follow as
it developed.
Unless the British offensive shall turn
the Germans out of France, save between
the Meuse and the Ardennes, it will be a
failure. If it does this, it will do all that
any one can even with great optimism
hope for. If. in addition, it should free
portion of Belgium it would be the great
est success of the war and would repay
Britain for all her disappointments and
watings. 1t would also leave Britains
allies little to complain Of. But it is IN
fair to criticise the British for failure TO
act now; they are following the lines Of a
strategy which has been devised by all the
Allies in conference, and their own work
is laid out for them, not by themselves,
but by their French and Russian allies IN
a large measure.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-07-02
In Belgium.

So far have discussed the situation IN
GRANGE. Il remains 10 say-a word about
the Belgian possibility. An overwhelming
success south of Lille followed by very
rapid advance, such as Mackensen made
in the first days Of his great Galiclan cam
paign last summer, would imperll the
whole German situation in Western Bel
GUM; it might easily mean a retirement
behind the Meuse from Mezieres or Givet
to Client; it might mean retirement be-
hind the Meuse as far north as Namur
and the standing between the Sambre and
the Scheldt on lines that have been pre-
pared. Lastly, there is the final possibil-
ity that it might involve retirement
behind the Meuse from Liege, through Ma
muir to Mezieres.
So far the Germans have succeeded in
stopping every attack upon their Western
front within three miles. lhey nave them
selves never been able to make more, eX-
cept before Verdun, where they have made
around six. 1t is open to doubt whether
their lines can be broken now, after they
have had more than year and half to
fortify them. 1t is open TO doubt whether
a penetration can be made on a front suf.
ficiently wide to open a gap. The best
informed military observers wholly dis
agree on this point. The Verdun fail
ure justifies the school who doubt; the
Russian success supports those who be .
leve The debate can be settled only on
the battlefield.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-07-02
The Next Step.

If several Of these places fall at once
the next step will be an attack upon Douai,
Cambria and an effort TO envelop Lille
both from the north and from the south
by movements that have as their objec-
tives Courtrai and Journal. If the Brit
ish reach Doua and Cambria, it will then
be time to recognize that they have made
a great advance and that the whole Ger.
man line in France is in deadly peril.
If the movement progresses and the
British reach Valenciennes, La Cateau and
even St. Quentin, then it will be clear that
the end Of German occupation in France
has come and the real problem will be
whether the Germans can draw their
troops out without large surrenders and
under conditions which are wholly similar
to those faced by the Russians in Galicia
last year.

The Narrow Attack.

But precisely the same tactics, joined
with an even greater concentration Of ar
ullery in front of Verdun, have won for
ne Germans In over four months a net
san Of little more than six miles on a
front Of less than ten. To make this gain
'ney have sacrificed large numbers Of men
Their losses are certainly much higher

quantities of ammunition and used up
very large numbers Of heavy guns, for the
