EMPEROR WILLIAM APPEALS
 TO PEOPLE TO FIGHT HARDER

BERLIN. Aug. l5.-Emperor Williams message to Chancellor Non Bethmann H0!l- weg, dated August l, urged him to continue the war nf right and called upon every Ger man to rise up and fight for the principles for which the war Is being prosecuted, as to whether Germany has a right to exist without interference of other nations so lang as she obeys the commands of the Deity The message says in part:
 There are sthl hard times ahead after the terrible two years of the storms of war. The desire for the sunshine of peace is stirring in aN hearts, but the war con tinucs hnrallse the battle cry of the enemy governments is still for the destruction of Germany. ask you and all my people to fight harder for our existence.
 The blame for further hoodshel faliS upon the heads of our enemles
 The firm conviction has never left me that Germany Is invnC1lo, in spite of the superior number of our enemies and every day confirms this anew.
 Every German knows that he IS fighting for his existence Entirr Germany is fight ing for an existence She knows her strength and she relies upoa Gods help. Therefore there is nothing hat can shake our ccnfdencn and our determination to win this great struggle.
 We aer sure that we can bring this great and terrific strife to such an end that our empire will be protected against future attack, and that the free worlds field will be assured for peaceful development
 With German genius and labor we shall live free and secure and strong among the nations of this world. This right is ours. Nobody nor no country can snatch this right from us.
 T ask that you make this message public and that my people manifest approval by demonstrating to the enemy that we are unconquerable and that we demand the right of existence and will fight until this right is given us

~ HE working girl away from homo is
forever torn between the joys OF a
furnished room--gas plate and one
towel week included-and the standardized
Home for Young Women, where life is
smooth pattern OF schedules. system, rules,
routine and patrol The furnished room life
is lonely, but independent, for Mrs Landlady,
after one long, searching glance and one sig
nificant admonition about no funny bust
nese,' leaves you to your own devices. The
institutional accommodations are oppressive,
but cheap and safe, for in spite of the fact that
corned beef and cabbage never fail you
their appointed Saturday night, and that the
piano may be played only at stated hours,
there is a great deal of comfort TO the girl on
50 week TO know that the So will cover ex-
penses and that eating and sleeping will go on.
But consider Jennie, whose notebook has
futtered in her hands at the daily approach
OF the handsome shipping clerk in the order
department, and who is even now all eager
over his suggestion that she give him date
Where shall they keep that date? Jennie is
modest little girl and does not like to suggest
that they go TO motion picture show, thus
forcing the handsome shipping clerk to spend
his money; she would prefer to have the nv
tation come from him. But Mrs. Maloney
has no psrlor for young couples and processes
no interes. in Jennies social problems And
the beau parlors' at the home around the
corner present no more privacy than sub
way train, even though Jennie might elicit an
invitation from one of the girls over there.
This is the difference between home and
elsewhere. This is the reason that girls all
over the city are keeping together little apart
nents By dint OF sacrifice washing and scrub
bing and cooking long after hours. That is
also the reason why the Young Womens
Christian Association, before building a new
home Tor girls, did large amount of inves
tgatng OF living accommodations for girls in
New York And that is the reason they ven
tlre to hope that when the new socialized
apartments are up according to the Y. w. c.
AS present plan there will be chatting dish
parties in the girls own sitting rooms instead
OF stiff and embarrassed circles OF young peo
pie down in public little cubby holes or
larger common room Even the lovely
daughter Of the rich knows from her board
ing school experience what ecstasy lies in the
constant and loving companionship of how
ering chaperon during calling hours.
