OF all the new women's organizations
which have been formed 20 meet the
exigencies of warfare, the National
League for Woman's Service has the
distinction Of having been the first to
enter the field. The league was organ
lied last January as the result of trip
which Miss Grace Parker, now national
commandant, had taken TO England in
the fall, where she made a study Of the
work of the women and returned to

women should not wait until war was
declared before organizing, but prepare

gency.

I am confident that the really genuine
desire to serve which actuates all Of
them will dissolve these difficulties in
the future as readily as it has in the
past.
Sometimes we find an organization
that is too much interested in the ques-
ton of who shall receive the credit foi
what is accomplished. This attitude,
perhaps, is the secret of most Of the diff
ficulties which we have encountered
thus far. This is not the time to worry
about credit There will be credit
enough for everybody. The job to bt
done is too big and the crisis too real.
Indeed there is so large a task before
us in surrounding our troops with b
healthy environment and the emer-
gencv is so great that trust all
groups can cooperate in cordial spirit
of loyalty and fellowship, regardless OF
anv differences of afiliation. In this
emergency the work Of women's organ
izations is one of the greatest factors
which we have. We are grateful 1or
what they have made possible thus Tar,
and we expect even more satisfactory
results from them in the future"

hatred of race prejudice is unknown
there" Mr.. Russell spoke on Grace

atre under the auspices of the Socialist
Literary Society.
The speaker declared race prejudices
were rampant in this country and de-
cried the tendency of the White race
to consider itself superior to other races
of the world.
This country, he said, was constantly
bungling the Negro problem. He de-
nounced the lynchings in the Southern
States, and added:
"Unless race prejudices are elimin-
ated in this country the crust of the
volcano on which we are sitting will
give way very soon." "France," con-
tinued Mr.. Russell, "has given the Ne
gro true citizenship. In France liberty,
equality and fraternity are not hollow
mOckeries and empty dreams. In the
Chamber of Deputies black men sit side
by side with Whites. France has never
designed to draw a color line.

what if we had a war here and needed
