PLAN TO HAVE WOMEN
 HELP CARRY ON WAR.

MUNICH, Germany, May F. -- The various problems of war, particularly as they affect women, has revived to an unprecedented degree in Bavaria discussian as to the advisability and feasibility of the plan, first preached in the nineties, to compel women to undergo a sort of military service just as men do. Their service, however. would consist mainly of economic, household and nursing duties.
 There is unquestionably a large number of people who have become convinced that such a plan is highly

from a similar neglect. Current history, in
PRINT and film and lecture, depicts the great
usefulness OF these dogs in military opera

dog corps similar TO those whose efficacy IN

Elderly Optimism.

Not even Andrew Carnegie in the hey
day Of peace could pretend to the degree
of optimism which afficts Chauncey NJ.
Depew. The friends Of the former Sena-
tor, who became eighty-two years old yes
terday, will be shocked TO learn that he
has been guilty Of the following indscre-
ton: "The world is growing better, the
people are better and | am better myself.
Why. even the newspapers are growing
better" All of which, of course, is the
rankest heresy.
But it will serve to remind US that Mr..
Carnegie has failed for long time to pipe
his lay that the world is heaven enough
for him. Surely he doesn't mean 20 'tt
Mr.. Depew usurp thus wantonly his favor
tie role of smiler upon mankind. What
though it be common knowledge that civil
lization is dead and all newspapers are
subsidized by one side or the other in the
European conflict. he should not let little
thing like Armageddon dampen his octO-
genarian enthusiasm. It's when Your
team is losing, according to ran rah phi
losophy, that it needs encouragement the

Possibly this is Mr.. Depew's line Of ar

example to Mr.. Carnegie. We need as
many voices as possible in our octogena-
rian cheering section.

Shakespeare Learning Explained.

There is a degree of ambiguity IN one
passage of Judge Tuthills important de-
cision in the case of Bacon VS.. Shake
speare. He says:
The court further finds that by the pub
lished and acknowledged works OF Francis
Bacon there is given a cipher which Bacon
devised in his early youth when in Paris
called the biliteral cipher; that the witness
Elizabeth Wells Gallup, has applied thai
Francis Bacon, and has found that the name
and character 81 Shakespeare were used as 8
mask BY Francis Bacon, etc.
What are we TO understand by the word:
italicized in the above passage? II the
learned Judge means that Mrs. Gallup''
incstimable discovery was a consequence
Of her application Of the cipher he would
do great service 20 the world by explaining
how it is worked. He is one of the few
who have hitherto been able TO fathom the
mystery Of any of the many ciphers dis
covered by the Baconians.
But it was probably not this that cstab-
lshed the origin Of the plays and "con-
vnced the court that Francis Bacon is the
author Judge Tuthill passes too lightly
over the blitcral cipher to convince US
that he really mastered it. What he de-
Ponds on is the contrast between the rude
actor and the learned and cultivated Lord
Chancellor. Bacon, he argues, was cdu-
Gated not only in English, but in French
Latin, Italian. German, and had general
education equal 10 or superior TO any one
Of his age" On the other hand, Shake
spcarc was not an educated man"

Neutral Comment.

II would be unreasonable to expect the
neutral press of Europe to display more
than a mild and polite interest IN the
Presidents latest Note to the German Gov
eminent. There is no lack of sympathy IN
any of the comments on the present Crisis
but all of them show that the critical con
dition is recognized and placidly accepted
AS part of series which may be OF IN
definite duration. 1.-THE President says
one of the papers Of Holland. informs
Germany that he is warning it for the last
time. Will there not also be warning
for the very last time and for absolutely
the last time, and for the final, irrcvocablc
last time?"'
We cannot justly complain of such
skepticism. It is the obvious and inevitable
consequence of vacillation and weakness
and our reputation in Europe is no worse
than il was under similar conditions IN the
early wears of the nineteenth century.
I'VE are indeed most miscrably moderated
in Europe" wrote Jonathan Russell IN
1872. ut is not believed here, notwlth-
standing the spirited report Of the Com
mittee of Foreign Relations, that we shall
resort to any definite measures. We have
indeed a reputation for saying so much
and doing so little that we shall not he be
lieved in earnest until we act in manner
not to be mistaken
The same opinion prevailed to the last
moment in England; it was presumed that
America would argue and threaten. but
would not fight and the presumption was
in large measure justified. There was
here no miscalculation, the late Admiral
Mahan maintained, 'for she did not fight
till too late, and she fought wholly unpre-
pared His general observations on the
laundering manner in which the govern
ment of the day dealt with the Chesapeake
affair are worth recalling: a govern

not. or will not, effect in deeds. Buster,
