Kind regards and commiseration,
Russia We know just how you feel.
The long, cruel winter of the lake re-
gion is on and the transport has broken

Shivering thousands huddle at the

pray that the conductor Of the next car
may take compassion and let them on.
We cry aloud for help. and the only
answer is the echo of our unavailing
cry.
Between an elected street railway cor
poration and a rejected common council,
the people have not where 60 turn for re-

An Army of Women
BY uR. FRANK CRANE
Copy light 1915. hy Franb Crone)

Why not women
The young men are going TO camp and
trench "a million on so of them. What
are the corresponding million or so young
women doing?
Why not use them? II not TO drill
ard shoot, then to DO something else
equally necessary.
The day is past when women want to
stay home. twiddle their thumbs. look
pretty "sit on rs cushion and sew a fine
seam,' 20 be fought for and simply be
on hand TO bind the laurel on the yictor's
brow.
The medieval days of do-less ladies'
who were only-haudsome pieces of bag
gage for knights TO quarrel over are past.
Women are persons, individuals, citi-
zens
They have as much as men right to
their share in national defense.
Nowadays firing guns ON the front is
he least part of war The greater part
getting that gun ready feeding the
gunner maintaining ships and railways
supply him, farms and factories TO
rovide for him
Back of the man who shoots must be
zen persons who keep him &c.
OF these ten. at least tive or six should
be women
1t is not enough for women to knit
wrstets, ana sew kt-bags. and fold Red
cross Dau0ages, ana sing IN baZaars, and
organize thls and Jhal relief society. All
this Is tritilnR with a task that demands
unStnted effort
Draft the women
Put them in uniforms.
Organize them as strictly as men, and
under the same military discipline. And
put them in factories, on trains, IN offices,
at secretarial and messenger work, any
where that they can take the place of
husky man and release him for fighting.
And if we're not yet advanced enough,
nor scared enough, TO draft them, then
at least give them chance 20 volunteer.
Open the ranks OF the army 70 women,
TO work in industrial lines at least, give
them a chance to do their bit, and you
will have wOman's army of five million
before six months.
And ii viii be as devoted, enthusiastic,
efficient an army as ever existed.
Give the women a chance--not TO id-
dle-fadde, but 10 do something.
The best backing for an army Of men
at the front would be an army of women
at home.
Millions Of women are clamoring for
something 70 do.
Here is a we'll of patriotic force unde-
filed, untapped, ready, eager.
Let us slough off our medieval notionsl
Organize the wonen-not 10 fight
but 70 back up the fighters.
IN the early" days the women in the
log fort stood by the men, reloadng their
rifles and gave them food and drink while
they fought the savages.
Why not let them do likewise now?
The women knock at the army's door
let US admit them.

Would You Answer the
Cries of a Fallen Soldier
Boy On a Battlefield?

Let's say that you find yourself upon
a battlefield with the dead and injured
around you.
You hear muffled cry It is for help.
A soldier, wounded is lying there and
he wants you.
You 20 90 him. His blouse is thrown
open and ne shows YOU the hole there
that a bullet has made
But you are powerless TO help him.
You do not know what TO do for HIM
You can raise his canteen 10 has lips
and give him water TO drink, bat that
wound, there, you can do nothing for
that.
The man must have aid and quickly
and II he RECEIVERS ne must have care
the tenderest care. that 1t IS possible for
him to have-care that has an interest
that comes from outside the doctors
book.
You want 70 help the poor fellow but
you cannot, there.
You CAN help him HERE.
Every day there are soldier boys fall
ing in France and they are crying for
help.
They are crying to you
Will you HEAR them2
You can begin helping them today by
giving what you can afford, no matter
how little, to the Red Cross.
Every day, on the battlefelds in
France, there are men falling and dying,
with their last thoughts of loved ones
at home.
These men are not afraid TO die.
They are dying for you, and would die
happily only for one last thought and
that of those at home.
Will they be cared fort
Will they be fed?
viii they be clothed
VIII they have warm beds to sleep IN
when bitter winter comes7
Would you have these brave men die
happily?
Of course you would

more individual interests, that we be-
long to the whole group, with all our
possessions, and that we can save our
life and property only by sticking to
the group.
These are the sentiments with
which every German should be filled

those TO whom such sentiments are
foreign; such people do not deserve
the name Of Germans, and we do not
care TO speak to them.
"When has the fate of the German

We are summoning every
German business man to give as his

German "Herold" Gets
Permit to Publish
Paper Not Now Forced to File
Translation Of Its
War News

The German Herold" will be pub
lished this morning under authority OF
a permit received from the Postofilce
Department yesterday afternoon, IN
stead Of under the former agreement
with that department. The new per-
nit. or license TO publish, IS revocaole
and is issued under the act OF Coh-
gress of October 6, governing foreign
language newspapers.
The chief difference between the
new plan Of publication and the former
is that the newspaper will not be com
pclled to translate and file with the
postmaster all news matter appearing
in its columns that deals with the war
or any of the governments concerned
in il. The translation and Ming OF such
cory with the postmaster before the
appearance Of each issue on the streets
were declared by the German editors 10
be a hardship and an expense that mad
driven some smaller publications out
of business. -.
The first foreign language publica-
ton to be granted a permit was the

paper published in Austin, Tex. the

Complaints that the Postoffice De-
partment was. consuming much time
In issuing these permits were heard
from many German editors. II is de-
clared that they are being granted just
as rapidly as possible. however, and
that every effort is being made to re-
lieve the foreign language publications
Of the expense and trouble involved in
complying with the old arrangement.
