Editor The Washington Herald: 1t has
taken a war in Europe and a revolution
in Russia to bring Justice, in the guise
of the ballot. to the women OF those coun-
tries. What terrible calamity must be-
fall these United States Of America before
our President and the majority Of the
men OF this free and progressive nation
awaken from their "cave man" dream re-
garding the subsection Of women as mere
sex-playthings and household drudges?
What woman Wills. God Wills they
say in France. and it would be well for
those men who have ridiculed and op-
posed suffrage for women to pause for q
moment and read the hand writing on
the wall"
This appears to be a day OF Judgment
a time OF retribution and reparation-
wrongs long endured are being wiped out
by means of frightful catastrophes.
Surely none but the grossest and dull
est materialist can fail to interpret these
signs OF the times Alright

Writer Tells "Tax Payer" Why Po-

Editor The Washington Herald: In the

from "A Tax Payer" who objects to
members of our police department per-
forming strike duty. Why does not Tax
Payer" ask himself why this condition
Of affairs Is necessary.
AS view 1t, the only reason our police
are required to perform this extra duty
is that the men who do not care to work
for the Washington Railway and Electric
company are not content to look else
where for employment, but must stand
on the streets and Jeer at those who are
wiling to run the cars, and even at in
focent passengers who care to use the
cars. Why have not these idlers been
taken into custody for attempted intimi-

corded as No. /, with the serial num-
ber (ten) following. The record would
show that the men whose cards bear
the serial No. 10 In each Of 1850 ex-
emption districts would be first to ap-
pear before the exemption boards.
Presumably the announcement made
at the drawing would be No. !, serial
No. 10.
1t is assumed that when the draw
ing is complete the government Will
compute how many men are repre-
eented by No. in the drawing and
by the numbers Immediately succeed
ing, and then issue an order for
enough to report to make the total de-
sired for the first army. For instance,
the first call might be for Nos. to
100 in all districts. When the frst
exemption came in each district No.
101 would be called, and so on.
Buttons For Those Exempt.
To prevent embarrassment among
those who are exempt, the War De-
partment has decided to give with
each exemption certificate a bronze
badge bearing the inscription "Ex'
empted-U. s." The design for this
badge has been approved by Secretary
Baker and number already are in
process of manufacture. 1t is intend
ed to protect those exempted from any
suspicion of being slackers.
The law specifies that exemptions
are not permanent unless the cause
for which they are granted is perman-
ent. For instance, II man should be
exempted on the first call because OF
a dependent relative and that relative
should die or become self-supporting
before the second call, the registrant
would be liable for service under the
second call. II will be the duty of the
exemption boards to keep watch oil
such cases and recall men who have
been passed over once, but whose
status may have changed before the
second call Is made.

America Won't Fight
For the Dollar Sign

Miss Emma Mills, in an address o IN Pre-
paredness," a few days ago at the home of
Mrs. J. Ogden Armour, emphasized that the
United States is worth while fighting for
because of the growth In art, in esthetics, in
civic beauty within the last few years and
that 1t is far better to fight for d country
that clevates beauty than one that worships
merely the dollar sign. III we fight again"
she concluded, 1T is a protest we make. III
1875 we protested for the right OF freedom.
In 1861 we protested that all men are born
free and equal. Today we protest to adj
vance the cause Of beauty. The two great
national moments in American history have
been moments of protests. The third, which
Is upon us, Is a similar moment, but based
this time not upon the material properties
and rights OF life, but upon the more esthct.
ic principles. No American is prepared to
fight who permits himself to continue In ig
norance Of the tradition Of this country"
