does not hear this question among

centers. Men, whose business 1t is to
fight: merchants, whose daily life is to
make money out of war do not think
about peace, except a German peace"
On Germany's part. this is a war of big
business and the kaiser. Throughout
Belgium Gcrmanys big industrial lead
ers have conf1scated factories, building
lots. stores, farms, mines and every
thing else, hoping that when peace
comes they can retain them. In Brus-

large newspaper plant with the expec-

must be a trumpet to popularize the
conqueror if he is to stay.
German shipping interests have their
eyes on Antwerp. Belgium means
nothing to them without this port Ger
man overseas commerce can hardly be
rebuilt without this harbor. Germany
will never be able again to threaten
EnGland's trade and world position

read with interest:
AT the Council Meeting of the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs held
at New Orleans, 1917 the Board of
Directors authorized an Emergency
Service Committee to mobilize the wo-
men of the country for special service
in the present national crisis.
The committee consists of a chair
man and seven members, each mem
Der to have direct supervision of a
group of states.
The first duty of the Emergency
Service Committee is to form a state
unit or committee in each state with
the State President if possible at the
head.
In a few days further information as
to details will be sent you. In the
meantime each State President is re-
ouested to have printed at once, at the
States expense, cards like the en-
closed, in numbers sufficient to enroll
not only all the club women of her
state but also any who are willing to
pledge themselves, whether belonging
to clubs or not. Then proceed i'm
mediately to distribute said cards
throughout the State to be signed and
returned at the earliest possible me-
mont.
Please try to secure the signature Of
every woman in your State. The car
rying out of the pledge is the kind of
service every one can render.
In closing l wish to emphasize two
things:
