powers of this democracy so that none of Its
efforts will be lost.
Behind the Woman's Committee is this
council. Therefore it is hardly eXaggeratlng
to say that it is necessary only to press the
button in order to get the best expert advice IN
this country on any conceivable subject thaV
NAV touch the huge complex problem Of wom-
ans usefulness in war work.
"Our job is to concentrate on the task OF
getting all the cooperative organizations that
at present are overlapping to work as one, ana
TO obtain and transmit TO them, from the gov
eminent experts, all the information and adj
vice that may be necessary to get this or that
branch into full working order
"If it is necessary the government will send
for experts from the remotest parts of the
Union. These men are fine-fine! They are
wholly dsinterested. They come at the com
mand of the government at any time from any
distance, asking no salary for their services
"Also, am proud to say no salary is paid
to the members of the Woman's Committee
any more than to the members Of other COM
mittees of the Council of National Defence

"If thrift is necessary in order to make our
national resources sufficient to meet the world
demand, wise, well organized, effective thrift
will soon become one of the commonplace o,
daily existence. Americans are like that. Once
convince them that a thing must be done, and
there is no fear of their failing 10 do it.
1.-THE cooperation of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture means that all its
knowledge is at the disposal of our committee
In the same way, the knowledge Of the other
governmental departments is placed at our
command Experts in all branches of activity
will cooperate with US at any time and to any
extent and we are simply the medium through
which they cooperate with The patriotic women
of the United States
"Most important of all is the necessity fo'
keeping the morale of the country up TO the
highest possible standard, for keeping life nor
nal and the national machinery running
smoothly. Women will be drafted to do the
work of million men. They are willing and
anxious TO do it, and-like women the world
over-they will spend themselves in the doing,
without ever thinking Of the consequences
Therefore, 10 part Of the work TO be done
by the Woman's Committee of the Council OF
National Defence is more important than sec
ing to it that the spiritual defences Of the
country are left unimpared. We must make
sure that the women who take up the work Of
men are protected in every way. We must 20
operate with labor to see that woman are
neither overworked nor placed in jeopardy. FOR
the sake of the country and the future, they
must be kept physically and mentally sound
and courageous The children OF the future
must not suffer by the heroism Of the women
Of to-day
"Knowing of the latent power that is every
where knowing Of the mighty machinery that
has been set in motion to coordinate and uti-
lie this power, have no fear that the United
States will not do its full share.
"And women who were the first 10 offer
their services, will be found in the van Of
achievement-not on the firing line nor gong
down to the sea in ships, but quietly working
in every branch of industry that the men may
be free to keep faith with our Allies and TO
save the world free for democracy.
IF we do our daily job, keep up the WORK
every day, and all day, and all work together
under wise, central guidance, the thing
done"

so adjust your work to theirs that there shall
be no overlapping and no waste; to place your
self absolutely at the disposal Of the govern
ment as a unit in a vast coherent, flexible
organization that shall include all the woman
power in the country"
This. according to Miss Ida Tarbell, is the
gist of the message sent out by the United
States Government through the woman's COM
mittee of the Council of National Defence.
But" went on Miss Tarbell, "this can be
done only when the immense power of organ
ization that already exists among Ameri-
can women is turned wholly to national service
To do this is the business of the woman's COM
mittee of the Council of National Defence. AS
it is only Just born and has as yet done little
more than skeletonize the framework of its
plan of action it seems like large order The
only thing that keeps it from being too large
to handle adequately is the national genius Of
American women for organized effort.
WHY THE wOMAN's COMMITTEE WAS
FORMED
"The whole business of this committee is to
find out how the woman-power existing at
present in women's organizations and in ndi-
viduals throughout the country can be central
lied and utilized
Hundreds Of thousands Of women are ask
ing, eagerly What can l do" Every one OF
these is willing and anxious to do what she
can, if only she knew what to do.
an every state in the Union women are or
ganizing for service They are applying for
enrolment in the Red Cross; they are register
ing in such organizations as the Women's
League for National Service. They are form
ing groups for specialized work Of all kinds
and are devoting the energies and resources of
existing clubs TO an effort to meet the many
sided need They are joining college classes
and training schools, that they may learn how
to make their work effective. The energy,
courage, patriotism, devotion, are all there in
abundance. All they seek is TO be told what
to do with IT.
"Of course, the result of this disorganzed
effort is the waste which comes from the
duplication and overlapping Of work that is
not co0rdinated. The difficulty has been that
neither individuals nor organizations could
get authoritative information to what help
would be the most needed at the moment.
"War is succession of emergencies. If we
are 10 meet it effectively we must be equipped
to handle each emergency as it arises and be
ready at any given moment TO pour big re-

most needed.

"No; the thought is not new. 1t has been
