GOVERNOR FAvORS
ENLISTMENT PLAN
Phillip SAYS DRAFT BOARDS
READY TO PROCEED
EXAMINATIONS.
CROWDER IDEA is APPROVED
Executive Suggests Allowing Men to
Enter Service Ahead of Call
Number-Would Give Board
Leave Until Oct. IS.

Madison--Gov. Il. l.. Philip. in a
communication to Provost Marshal
Crowder, made public by the district
draft board, approves the suggestion
that work be started in examining the
remaining men subject to draft and
says Wisconsin boards are ready to
go ahead"
This would mean that the remain
ing registered men would be exam
incd at once.
The governor suggests, however.
that the boards be given a respite until
Oct. Is, to enable the members to pay
some attention to their private affairs.
Gov Philip also believes the govern
ment should continue TO supply the
necessary blanks to the men who want
to claim exemption. He also expresses
some doubt as TO whether il would be
advisable to call for examination those
men who are not likely to be sum
moned for service within a reasonable
length OF time.

Suspected as a Red.

The fact that Brig Gen. Clarence r.
Edwards, commander OF the Northeast
ern department, has been regarded
lately as an anarchist was revealed
when he told number of newspaper
men that on account of the red flag
with the white star which flies from
the hood of his motor car, he has been
continually hailed by young America
along the highways and byways Of
New England as desperate charac-
ter" the Boston Advertiser states.
In conformity with military regula-
tions, 1t is required that all brigndier
generals fly red flag with white
star in the center, in the front of their
conveyance. Major generals are dis
tinguished by a similar flag with two
white stars, lieutenant generals have
three stars and generals four. When
the president occupies a car, it is the
custom to display a red flag with an
American eagle and four stars.

WOMEN And WORK
World Getting New View of the
Limitations of Sex"
Even In Japan Feminine Workers Arc
Invading the Factories, Stores
and Offices

N Whit III tHC 4NtM GdSt pitNhit "
the coming of Japan's ''new woman" in
ways that would be impressive were
there no Europe and no world war. We
have heard before that bound feet are
no more in China, that Picking believes
in education for girls and that all
through the Flowery land the Ameri-
can sewing machine is giving good
account of itself we are now assured
that Japan, politically modernized for
well nigh half century, is deep in the
task of completing the emancipation of
her women from the patriarchal sys-
TEN, says a writer in the Boston Her
aid.
Vast numbers OF them have found
occupations in the factories; other
contingents are at work in the offices
and in that newest innovation of all,
the department store. The age of bus
mess has at last dawned for the island
empire, and the click of the typewriter
is heard in the land. Meanwhile there
is rush of women to the professions.
1t is the women now who are sought
for the stage, and the demand has been
found large enough to warrant the for
nation of dramatic schools attached to
the large theaters. A woman doctor
used to be an impossibility in Japan.
At this years examination for medical
practice in Tokyo q out of 80 candi-
dates who passed were women. And
the call for woman teachers in the
schools grows apace.
Compare this peaceful type of evolu-
ton with the changes which have
come to the western people under the
stress of war In our own land the
women, once socially active mainly
through their churches and clubs, are
now fast closing up into great CO.
operative organization which has food
conservation for its detail and nation
al defense for its unifying spirit and
end.
At demonstration given the other
day by English women in HEREFORD
shire 1000 of them gathered to show
their proficiency in trimming bitches,
hoeing roots, carting, and a dozen
other kinds of farm work which they
had taken up to liberate the men, and
an eyewitness describes the remarka-
BILE showing made by these "bands of
lithe-limbed maidens, with brown
faces under SLOUGH hats, marching in
knee breeches and leggings or put
tees. '" On the battle front American
women are helping the allies as driv-
ers of ambulances and motorcars in
both France and England women run
buses, conduct trains and function in
scores of occupations that have been
hitherto reserved for men. What
would the war amount to were it not
for the army of woman workers in the
munition factories? Then think of
Russia, which sends out woman war
riors to show her men how battles are
won.
1t should be plain that after this
struggle the world will never again be
exactly the same for women. We shall
have the steady evolution of social and
industrial structure such as Japan is
now displaying, but we shall also have
a new view of the so-called 'limitation
of sex" Complete recognition of the
fact that women are also human be-
ings is assured beyond peradventure.
