PlJLl.AR 6: NIVEN A,1
WOMAN'S PART IN WAR.
Fair Sex Doing Nobly While Men Are
 in Trenches.

London, March 15.-The call for 400, 900 women to replace the $50, ,0o0 men who will be missing from agri cultural pursuits throughout Great Britain in the spring has been heard by responsive ears and without criti- cism from any of the women's organ izations or from the press. Only a. small portion of the press, after re- Herring to the sacrifices made by Wom- en so far in the war, describe the new appeal of the government as bold. The press as a whole is unanimo in declaring that no critic since the war began has challenged the energy and devotion with which the British women have responded to the call made upon their services.
 It is a fact that there is scarcely any profession, trade or industry in which S&omen can be employed where they are not now working.
 Some of the papers point out, how ever, the farm labor has none of the attractive novelty presented by some of the new occupations which the war has opened to women. It is very hard work, it is not Well-paid and it has not the inspiration of direct war work which surrounds munition-mak- SRg.
 Tn certain localities it is claimed that farm work is unfortunately in disrepute among the very class of women who could most prOfitably be engaged in it; and the success of the town-bred woman on the land must, 1t is argued. in the nature of the case be dubious as the success of the fown-bred man has proved by experi- ence to be.

St. Johns, N. F., March 15.-ln an effort to supply the deficiency in the number of vessels needed in the coastal and fish carrying trade of this colony, agents from leading New foundland fish trading concerns have been sent to various seaports in Canada and the United States to pur- chase sailing vessels. In the course Of the war most of the steamers which have cared for the island trade have been requisitioned for transport or ice breaking service in European waters.
 Tramp steamers, finding more lu- crative employment elsewhere, have pra ctically deserted Newfoundland This will necessitate the employment of sailing craft to carry the custom

STEAMER PARTLY FLOODED,
Sea Water Poured Into Compartments
 of Burning Herman Winter

Portland, Me, March 15.--In or der to extinguish a fire which broke out last night in her after hold, the steamer Herman Winter was lowed to the south side of the channel early today and her stern ,cOmpartm ents flooded. It was thought that the Wa tertight bulkheads amidship would save the cargo in the forepart of the vessel. The package freight which was mostly on the upper decks was re- moved. The damage to vessel and cargo was estimated at $100,0O0.
 The Herman Winter arrived here Sunday from New York. but was un- able to discharge her cargo because of a strike of 100 freight handlers. The fire is believed to have been due to spontaneous combustion as the matches had not been removed since her arrival.
 The vessel rests on a mud bank and probably will be pumped out and float ed.

PEACE IN EUROPE
 AND IN THE HOME
Henry Ford Does Not Want Domestic SquabbIes to Interfere With His
 Automobile Business.

Chicago, March 15.-Henry Ford, who tried to bring peace in Europe, has carried the idea into the homes of his employees, according to revela- tions made yesterday before Judge Dennis Sullivan of the superior court. The peace leaders rules provide that employees and their wives who disa- gree must hoist the white flag, obtain divorces, or quit the service of the company and lose their $5-a-day wages.
 Henry Carter, a porter employed by the company, received divorce from his wife on charge of deser- tion. and his witness was Walter C.. May of Evanston, formerly superln- tendent of the sociological depart ment of the Ford works. May re- yea1ed the idea of the manufactures that the workman who quarrels with his wife in the morning makes a poor workman all day. He testified he had done everything possible to re- concile Carter and his wife, but had failed He said Carter was a good workman and the company did not want to lose him.
 "As I understand from the rules of 1erdicament that MT. Carter is in now will lose his position unless he is able to separate himself from his wife?" Carter's lawyer asked.
 Exactly" May said.
 "Ill give him a decree" Judge Sul- livan said.

and the mud and sluSh that has ac- cumulated, has made travelling prac- tically impossible. It was decided to have the property owners lay a new six foot walk on or before June 1.
 The chairman also brought up a similar condition of affairs existing on Church street on the south side between the Bonander block and the Union Works This talk is in better shape, however, and the property owners will simply have to relay it before June 1.
 The petitioners for a change in the building line on Church street near the Lacey block were given permis- sion to withdraw
 Bids For Materials.
 Engineer Hall brought up the mat ter of securing permission from the council to issue bids for materials to be used by the departments during the coming season. He explained that a new form had been made out to forward to each bidder Commission CT Downes said the board should re- serve the right to reject every bld that was not filled out according to the regulations contained in the form.
 Wants A Walk.
 Councilman Charles May appeared before the board in regard to the side walk on Shuttle Meadow avenue be- tween Arch and LinWood street. He said that last year he was asked to oppose the erection of a retaining wall by property owners on account of low finances, and as the board of finance had thrown out the desired appropria- tion for the wall, he would like to know if the walk could not be built. He spoke of the deplorable condition of the walk at present. and said that cinders was the cause for children bringing in much dirt into house. holds
 Chairman Humphrey said the en- gineer is working on a plan to ask property owners for waivers on land on Linwood street and some remedy may follow.

Hatch was very anxious that it should be built, and as the property owners had been assessed $3,9 and S1,OO0 was awarded for damages, there still remained of $2,9O0 in the street improvement fund and it was voted to spend this for the erection of he bridge.

Moving picture shows, a walk up
and down Main street and a harp

i've to scores and scores of former
straight-laced Republicans of the city
and the formal opening of their cam
paign, with Wilbur D. King of Colum-
bus, colored orator as the speaker
Of the evening, attracted only pal
try few to the court house Saturday
night and thosp, in the main, were
candidates for county office and mem
bers of the central and executive
committees.
There was woeiul lack of real en-
thusiasm after Garfield Shows band
departed. In fact, the campaign
might well have been opened in the
Arctic regions with the spectators
sitting around in B. v. DIS as far
real warmth is concerned.
County candidates and committee
men, after parading about the streets
in the rear of Shows band, finally
reached the court house. There were
more in the band than were in line.
The band played well, but it left too
soon.
The purpose Of the campaign open
ing was to line up colored voters for
Hughes. This was vigorously and
emphatically denied by the speaker
of the evening who was probably not
aware of the great efforts which were
put forth by the local Republican
machine Saturday to induce the col
ored people to attend-eiforts which
were rewarded in many cases by fai
refusals.
J There were number of colored
people in attendance, possibly Is, but
even they were not treated with the
courtesy due them on such occasion
as a quartet or more were allowed tC

there were scores of vacant seates
The Republican glee club started
the program with parody on "Dix
ie." This was pitched about five
notes too high for even the tenori
and, after several measures, had tt
be started over again.
Wilbur d. King was introduced by
Chairman Clutter of the Republican
executive committee. After his de
nial OF the charge that he was at
tempting to line up the colored peo
ple of Mt. Vernon to vote for Hughes
although no other plausible con
struction could be placed on his pres
ence here-he told something of thu
history of the United States, but fail
ed to mention Ralph Tyler, Colum
bus colored man, who ran for dele

tional convention and who was de
