The Department Of Labor has given some at
tenton to the domestic servant problem and Of
fers as possible solution for some of the diff
fculties now complained Of that employers Of this
class of labor try to improve conditions of EN-
ployment. 1t is suggested that the housemaids
be given a little more freedom, that domestic
economy be placed on basis more nearly ap.
preaching the schedule of industrial operations
and that the dignity OF the servant be thus adj
vanced. Investigators agree on the main poi It
Of the problem, that the conditions under which
domestic service is performed are distasteful to
high spirited girls and that the liberty of the shop
girl or factory workerNis preferred to the more
comfortable and frequently better paid situation
Of the housemaid, because the latter is not her
own mistress. Other grievances are such as
might be met with certainty of adjustment, but
even in our great democratic country the difficulty
of dissociatng personal service from servility is
such as has so far baffled most efforts to over
come it. Women's clubs have for long time
considered the question, but it is now presented
again, with suggestion that if the mistresses of
the homes will try to make life little easier for
the housemad the greatest trouble will soon be
removed

American Jews are rising with fine determi-
nation to meet the demands Of duty confronting
them. Statements that some millions of Jews
in the warning countries of Europe were doomed
to die OF starvation during the year, in spite of
utmost efforts to relieve them, have stimulated
the leaders of the relief work in this country to
grapple with the situation in heroic fashion, The
announcement OF Julius Rosenwald's willingness
to give million dollars or 100000 for each
100000 subscribed, up to 100000, has met
with such response as promises to insure not
only this great donation, but may overrun the
amount.
In the local work here Mr.. Morris Levy has
made contribution of such generosity as will
assure that Omaha will be creditably repre-
sented in the total. 1t is not merely the money
that is being subscribed that counts ip the move
ment 1t is the deep sympathy for the sufferers
and the desire to ameliorate their sad situation
that is moving the Jews in their tremendous task
Of meeting this unprecedented emergency. Fam
inc in peace time has always brought out the spirit
of help from those who have plenty, but famine in
connection with war, especially when it has the
character of the conflict now raging doubly de-
mands attention. In the present activity OF the
American Jews is an example that should inspire
all to desire to do something for the innocent
war victims found in every country OF Europe
now.

Guarding the Bridges.

Weary Walker and his companion in PEREZ
grination, Rusty Rufus, are likely to meet with
unaccustomed difficulties and may have their or
bits in some degree circumscrbed through the
vigilance of the railroad and other authorities.
Anticipating the beating of the war drums, the
great Transportation companies have set guards
to watch the bridges spanning the water courses
Of the country and civil authorities have followed
suit, till now not bridge of real worth in the
country but has its special patrol. This puts the
humble hobo in predicament He faces danger
Il he tries to get across on foot, he is threatened
equally il he seeks to hide on a passing train
and steal his way and below him turks the horror
from which he shrinks in greatest dread-water.
Thus the peripatetic, whose open season comes
with the flowers and the birds, finds his wander
ngs no longer at his will. We may have to meet
no foreign foe nor be in imminent danger of de-
structve operations by enemies at home, but the
bridge guards may help if they keep the hoboes
between the rivers

Variation in Compensation Laws.

That the principle involved in workmen's COM
pensation laws is not uniformly applied through
out the United States is shown by bulletin just
issued by the Department of Labor. Generally
the fundamental principle OF the law is recog-
nzedthat is, the responsibility for industrial ac-
cidents or injury-but in details wide and almost
unaccountabe variations are noted. For example,
while no state compensation act covers all classes
of employees, agricultural and domestic workers
being generally excluded, in New Jersey and
Hawaii 90 per cent of all workers are protected,
in seven states only so per cent covered while
one gives the benefit OF the law to less than 20
per cent and in nine states less than half Of the
workers are protected. Similar divergence ap-
pears in the amount of relief or indemnity pro-
vided. In Oregon widow and children may re-
cover as much as $l34S0, while in Vermont the
maximum would be $780, The Alaskan act al
lows as much as $3.50 for the loss Of hand,
while in Colorado for such an injury the maxi
mum is but $3.50. Washington and Wyoming al
ow nothing for medical services, but California
Connecticut Massachusetts, and several other
states provide for paying for all necessary hospi-
al service and medical attendance, without limit

Effect of the War on Religion.

Leaders OF the churches in America are al
ready busy trying to determine the possible eff
fects of the war on religion. Already they fore
cast a great revival OF interest in the churches
and look ahead to growth that will surpass any
development in recent years. To support their
expectations in this regard they have analysed
certain of the developments incident to the dis
turbance of society and find in these manifesto
tons signs that indicate the various divisions of
the church throughout the world are coming
closer together.
Differences that have seemed insuperable now
show signs of being resolved into something like
an accommodation and closer approach between
the several sects is being brought about as re-
suit OF the pressure growing out OF the conflict
Most marked OF these manifestations is that OF
the changes in Russia, where the Greek church
and the Russian sect are nearer unity than at any
time since the division The Roman Catholic
church, too, is on better footing with the other
great bodies and much better working under
standing between the three is likely. This is es-
pecially indicated by the removal of the car
as titular head Of the Russian church.
In England the relations between the Angli-
can and Nonconformist bodies have become al
been recognized but have been called into coun-
Gil by the archbishop of Canterbury. The signal
ability of Pope Benedict as a statesman is rec.
ognized by Protestant leaders generally and a
far better feeling exists between these two great
branches OF the church. The seeming certainty
that the control OF the Holy Land will be wrested
from the Turk and perhaps be once more vested
in the Jew is another OF the possibilities of the
war. Ali these signs are counted as hopeful
evidences of the prosperity OF religion for the
future.
On the other hand, full weight must be given
to the fact that the war has forced the various
sects for the present to drop much Of their dogma
and credal divergence and approach the funda-
mentas of religion in spirit of greater unani-
nifty. The church has been sorely tried by the
great war and will face two serious dangers WI
peace is restored, one from within and one fro i
without With the stress of war ended, internal
strife is likely to be renewed, while the threat
OF increasing sceptcism is always present. 1t
may be that the Older forr of religion will pas;
with some of the older political garments Of the
nations and in the readjustment belief and wor-
ship approximating universally may be attained.
