Defines q YOuag WOnan's First Duty
To Her COuntrH.

Lawrence, September 2O.-"Your
first duty to your country is to go to
school," is the message Of DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw Of the woman's COM
mitee of the Council Of National De
tense, to young women of this coun-
try who are in doubt as to whether
they should enter college this fall or
try to obtain commercial or indus
tial work.
Doctor Shaw's message gives the
keynote of the answers received by
Dean DIN Templin of the University
of Kansas from many well known
American women on the question of
the advisability of young women pur-
suing their college careers at present.
In her reply to Dean Templin,
Mary Roberts Rinehart believes the
smaller ways in which women may
serve in wartimes, such as knitting,
sewing, making delicacies and pre-
pairing Red Cross dressings could all
be carried on more efficiently In con-
nection with college work and as q
part of it. She says that even in
boys schools in England there are
knitting classes.
The one point upon which all of
the women who have answered Dean
Ten1plin, lay especial stress, is the
need that there will be after the war
of trained women In all lines of work
More women will have to be self-sup-
porting and more women will be
needed to take the places left vacant
by men. Carrie Chapman Gait,
president of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association, empha-

Manhattan, Kansas, Aug 29.-The
house fly as dissemination of serious
diseases is a menace and should be
destroyed, declares George A. Dean,
professor of entomology in the Kan
sas State Agricultural College.
Organisms are carried both extern
ally and internally by the fly. The
fine hairs and bristles on its body
especially the hairy pads on the feet
become loaded with germs when the
fly crawls over infested material. The
house fly does not lay all of its eggs
at one time, but makes two or three
trips from its breeding places to the
house for food, and thus the subse-
QUent visits to human food results in
its contamination. The internal con-
tamination is even more dangerous

SPAIN IS DETERMINED

Paris, April 27.-The Marquis Prize
to, SPANS new premier, in an inter
view with the Madrid correspondent

Spain cannot adopt neutrality when
its honor and interests are involved.
incidentally the premier intimated
that his administration was prepared
to support the vigorous note sent to
Germany by Count Ronamnoes, his
predecessor, in respect to the subma-
rine issue Premier Prieto is quoted
as saying:
Neutrality is not a program and
the country cannot adopt neutrality
as an idea and object at the expense
of its honor and interest. Those who
favor neutrality at any price do not
understand that they place us in some
ways at the mercy of any one who
wishes to attack us,
"Who would have any considcra-
ton for a nation which was disposed
to swallow any affront2 The govern
ment which preceded us sent note.
We know that it reached its destina-
ton but the answer will not be re-
ceivcd for some days. In the mean
while no one has a right to ask any
thing whatsoever. Our policy will be
dictated by the event but whatever
confidence we may have in the cor
rectness OF our judgment we believe
we must not take decision. The
problem in all its aspects will be laid
before parliament, in secret session if
necessary, with the solution proposed
by the government. Parliament, in
full possession of the facts, will de-
eide. If its decision is contrary to the
views Of the government the usual po-
litical consequences will follow"

MONTHS OF BITTER WAR
STILL FACED BY EUROPE

Washington, April 27.-While de-
finite ascendancy over the German
war machine has been established by
the allied forces in France, both in
personnel and equipment and event
ual victory is in sight, many months
of bitter fighting are still ahead.
This is the view of military ex-
perts attached to Frances war COM
mission as gathered by officers of the
AMERICAN general staff today during
informal conversations at the war de-
partment.
Statements of the Frenchmen fully
confirmed conclusions reached by the
general staff after its long study of
losses in all armies actually engaged
in Europe. The terrible toll in dead,
manned and prisoners, computed on
figures in captured, amounts to ten
per cent a month of troops at the
front Half of these are permanently
out OF action and were It not for the
constant stream of recruits going for
ward every day an army of million
men would soon fade away.
OF the wounded or ill sent to the
rear great numbers recuperate and
return to their regiments. With a
medical corps service working at
highest possible efficiency, half of the
entire loss of an army is recovered to
active duty, but the process takes
more than three months.
This condition is one of the inn
pelling reasons why the general staff
stood firmly for the selective draft
plan of the administration army
bill. Under the volunteer plan Eng
lands forces at the front were in some
cases SO reduced in strength that their
predicament was serious.
France had no difficulty on that
score. Under her system Of universal
military service, classes were called
up as they were needd and loss al
the front offset promptly.
There was no indication that the
French officers had any suggestions
to make as to the part the United
States army is to play in the great
war. They came to place themselves
and their experience at the disposal OF
the American officers.
The American staff officers are
known to oppose vigorously any sug-
gestion that a small expeditionarv
force be sent to Europe for its nor
NAL effect They say Their immedi-
ate concern is to see that the Ameri-
can army is placed in such a position
that when the time comes to send
men to the front they will be so
well trained and equipped, so ade-
quately supplied that it will make its
weight felt Immediately, even in a
field where millions are already CON
tending
