MEN FOR MEMS WORK.

Woman's work in the world is of equal I'M
portance with mans work. No Intelligent per-
son has ever doubted that. And her war work
is of incalculable Importance; but has not TINS
struggle completely refuted the argument that
man has no distinctive work that woman cannot
as we'll perform2 Women in European coun-
tries have long done arduous drudgery IN the
fields, but no government, hard pushed for sol
diers as some of them are has ventured to
load a woman with gun and send her to the
front. 1t is so evident that she could not stand
it that it has not been tried.
1t is little amusing, therefore, to sensible
and correspondingly thinking people OF the
middle west who purchase the sheets to see the
pictures in the Chicago newspapers of women
of our country drilling as military companies
Their natty uniforms become them-some-
times-and exercise in the open is an excellent
thing. Nor can it be denied that facility In the
use of firearms might come in handy for women
in districts overrun as Belgium and north
ern France Yet what is more preposterous
than the notion that this nation with fifteen
million males available and fit for military
service-and not enough rifles to arm thlr-
tieth of them-could by any possibility In any
conceivable emergency make use of a woman s
military organization? A company of brawny
football players sitting in row and learning
how to make dolls dresses would look more
ridiculous but really would not be.

IF RUSSIA WAGES WAR.

The Root mission to Russia may be ex-
peeted to lose no time in making its influence
felt in provisional government circles. The i'm
portant question upon which so much depends
this summer is whether this influence can
reach far enough and be potent enough to fur
nish fulcrum on which to pry Russian affairs
from the auagmire of theoretic uncertainties
INTO firm ground Of action under determined
control If the Russian army, with the Russian
people In support, can in the near future begin
n vigorous renewal of hostlities along the
whole east front, this will put tremendous pres
sure on the German power OF resistance. BY
far the largest and most efficient part of Aus
trials forces are occupied IN wlhstandng
Italy's offensive. Neither Bulgaria nor Turkey
can do much more than they are doing. Upon
Germany must fall the burden of any mill
tarv offensive attack. Germany has already
moved large bodies of troops from east to
west, and she has not yet checked the drive of
the British and French. If Russia should in
the near future push forward vigorously, some
perhaps all-must be sent again to the east.
Conservative military judgment is fairly
united in the opinion that now the balance of
strength on the west front is in favor of the
entente and our troops are on the way. \
break in the German lines on the west frontier,
a withdrawal that brings the fighting nearer to
Gernanv's own territory, these are possibilities
IF Russia renews the war with vigor.
Germany has not vet'fought on her own ter

morale of defensive position on her own from
tiers would have great Influence on peace de-
mands by the German people. Ii Russia re

/ justified then, to circulate it in Iowa
at public expense on the eve OF the
draft registration and in the midst OF
the Liberty loan campaign was out
rageous, almost reasonable, and yet
that is what was done and the con
gresham was properly publicly re-
buked for it by the council OF de-
Tense.
And now we have another humll1a-
ton added, another congressman,
Burton Z. Sweet of the third district
the district that once had dave
Henderson and Senator Allison TO It's
credit, has Inundated us by present
ing in congress resolution asking
the president to make a statement
of his object in going to war and on
what terms he would be willing to
conclude peace. Great God, is 1t
possible that an Iowa congressman
still does not know why we are in
this war and is 1t possible that one
so connected officially with an intel
ligent and patriotic state does not
know the conditions of peace accept

AS the Des Moines Capital points
Iowa, but it represents what is left
in this country of the German propa-
ganda that was operated here by an
ambassador who had to be sent
home. Won Bernstorff could have
written that resolution-it- is incon-
ceivable that an American could
write it unaided, out of his own
heart. The object Of that resolution
was TO make it appear to the Amerl'
can people that they We're not in
just war, that 1t was war made by
the president for Interior purposes.
We know both Mr.. Sweet and Mr..
Haughen, as we know other congress
men. And what we know of them Is
not that they intend to- do treason
able things, things that hamper and
discourage until they amount to al
most treason, but that they do such
things In the miserable game OF
small politics. They are playing poll
tics to the point of endangering their
regulations for patriotism. They are
thinking not of the honor and glory
of the nation, but they are thinking
Of how to get the most votes in the
next election. They want to be patri-
otto enough to hold the American
votes" in their districts, but still
dubious enough to catch the foreign
votes. 1t might surprise these
toadies to learn that the Germ an
American voters" in those districts
are more loyal than the congressman
who are catering to them to eaten

| Cedar Rapids Republican: Official.
| ly Iowa sits among the Inundated in
the nation. From first TO last we
have not played the part in congress
that our people might have coveted.
no part that is in keeping with the
traditions of this state. We made a
prouder war record in 1851 when we
had only a few hundred thousand of
population. At that time we had
fearless and strong men in congress
Harlan and Grimes were national
leaders.
But in this war, from first to last,
we have not heard in Washington
one clear utterance from an Iowa
man. No one, we repeat. BY this
we do not mean that none OF our
representatives has been right, but
those who have been right have not
dared to stand out as national lead
ers in the great questions involved.
We have missed the glory that the
state might have won and that the
nation might have expected from so
American state as Iowa-for Iowa
is the most typically American OF all
the western states.
That our Representatives opposed
the war is permissible, if they had
convictions that way, although 1t is
impossible, utterly impossible, for us
to see how any man could have been
opposed TO the war-which was not
of our making-unless he had pusil-
luminous pacifism enough in his
blood to prefer state of national
slavery to state of national integrity
and Independence. The choice for us
was not between peace and war but
between remaining a self-governin
people or becoming a subject people.
We have chosen the latter alterna-
tive and we are going to prove our
courts of the world.
But if Iowa men in congress could
not see this national vision before
the war was declared, AFT least after
the war they should have been to
see it But what have we in Iowa?
We have in this state a council of
defense, body of 1owa's best men
to look after our interests in the
war. This body the other day felt
it necessary in pursuit of it's patri-
otto ends to pass resolution GEN.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
The BRAVE ApvENruRER.

Who knows fear is master of his fate
All that life offer may be his;
So that he is
Swift to act-not prone to hesitate,
Swayed by the doubts that shackle weaker men--
All his desires may fulfillment, then.
True, for each boon some payment must be made.
That s--alas!-what makes towards all!
We hear the call,
And fain would follow, but afraid;
We want the prize, but all puny fears
Shrink from the price, which may be pain or tears!
Who early learns to play the splendid game
OF life INTELLECTUALLY, may come to know
And taste of woe;
He may, then, reap a larger share of blame,
But, in proportion. shall his joys be great
Beyond the dreams of those who stand and wait!
All things belong to him who dares contrTvc
To take and count the having worth the cost.
And never lost
Is happiness while memories survive!
Through all iife's varied fortunes, good bad,
Nothing rob him of the JOY he's had
