Some Facts.

II is true that the United States
overnment is collecting greater
ar tax than during the previous
EAR. says the American Economist.
1t is true that those working in the
ar allied trades are receiving more
ork and higher wages than before
lie war
1t is true that the workers in these
lunition establishments are paying
ut of their death-risk wages a large
lcrease for food and living expenses.
1t is true that those not working
said lines, possibly eighty per cent
the community especially IN
ores, schools. etc.-the salaried
ass, are paying war prices. thus
aking them poorer every day
The munition worker knows that
will have to do some hustling for
her work when the war is over.
The store clerk and the general
llaried man know why they are
citing along with much more diff
llty than ever before.
The store clerk knows that many
en- will be after his job when the
ar is over.
1t follows that the only financia,
ppe for the worker in time soor
come is an adequate protective

bill by both branches OF Congress
places President Wilson under the
necessity Of either approving or We
toing it. 1t is unfair that he should
be placed in that position, says the
Baltimore Sun, a Democratic news
paper.
The river and harbor bill seems to
be the usual one Of its kind-that Is
It contains appropriations for many
necessary and mcritorious improve
ments and appropriations for many
that are wholly unnecessary and IN
excusable. So far as we have noted
there has been no such profound as
section Of this bill az was made by
Senator Burton Of the similar bill IN
the last Congress. and therefore IL
would be difficult to point out Just
how unworthy a measure IT is, but
there seems to n general opinion TO
the effect that log-rolling has played
its usual part in the composition OF
the bill, and II includes many items
which are absolutely without justin
cation.
The unialrncss OF sehdlhg hi''
like this to the president lies in the
fact that he must either accept or re
ject it in toto If he yetocs It, much
necessary and important work will
be checked and It is possible that ir-
retricvablc harm will be done. on
the other hand If he approves it, he
will become jointly responsible with
members OF Congress for certain cX-
travagance and waBtefulness that
ought to be condemned He will be
criticized whatever he does. yet he
must do the one thing or the other.

WOMAN AND WAR

A western woman doctor declares
that women are physically fit for SER
vice at the battlefront. Probably
some exceptional women may be, but
are not the majority prone to all

glty for that great remedy which
during forty years has done more
than any other TO relieve such all
ments and mitigate the suffering OF
American women-Lydia E. Pink

ENGLISH WOMEN TO
CULTIVATE FARMS

London, May % t5:50 p, M
Francis Dyke Acland, financial secre-
tary of the treasury, speaking in the
house of commons on the agricultural
situation today, made a somewhat dis
turbing statement II was impera-
tive, Mr. Acland said, that farmers
should drop their prejudice against
the employment of female labor.
The danger point of greatly in
creased production already has Teen
reached, and even as things were go
ing it now was feared that England
could not hope TO maintain her pro-
duction on last years level. If more
men were swept into the army from
the farms, she could only escape fam
inc by diverting to importation Of
foodstuffs ships which are so urgent
ly needed for the transport Of NUM-
tions.
And Mr. Acland concluded, we
are unable to say whether there will
be ships to divert that way
