there is a. geographical difficulty, and
although ut is not impossible to reach Ger
man points, but up to the present time,
judging by the nfrequency of the Allied
attempts, it has been deemed inexpedient
or too costly. After all, planes are made
for military purposes, and the Allies have
considered their use for strictly military

TNIE peace activities of Socialists
have received an enormous amount
Of space in the newspapers Of all
countries for many months. The Stock
holm congress, for example The project
for holding it has been before the world
for half a year. II has been declared dead
at various times, but always to be re-
vived; and it has already, during its brief
existence, gone through several avatars.
The latest chapter in the history Of the
projected congress has just been brought
TO Us by the English newspapers, which
came in this tine like many of the war
cablegrams, delayed i'm transmission"
That chapter is in the form Of reports of
the meetings of the so-called Allied Social
lists Conference, held in London, in the last
week "a august. and the Trades Union
Congo, held at Blackpool, in the first
week Of September. Both bodies side
tracked the Stockholm congress for the
preseit. but perhaps, not permanently.
Before dealing with these two meetings,
however, 1t VIII be in order to give the
reader a concise story of the Stockholm
project from its beginning
The Stockholm Idea Really
I Originated in America
1t is not generally known that the first
impulse for such a meeting was of Ameri-
can origin. 1t is known that the Dutch
Socialist DR.. Troelstra took the initiative
in trying TO get the Socialist leaders of all
belligercnt countries to meet on neutral
ground To- discuss peace possibilities; and.
as he is generally accredited with being
pro-Cermau, it has been the custom to
speak Of the Stockholm congress as a
German project. That the German gov
eminent would be glad TO see the congress
meet is doubtless true; but. all the same,
the efforts made by Troelstra to get it to-
gether were originally inspired by the
American Socialists. According to a state
ment which he made in his newspaper,
"Het Nolk" last May, the Dutch deega-
ton to the International Socialist Bureau
received a letter in January from the
American Socialist party, saying that if
the International Bureau did not call an
international congress by March the
American Socialists would themselves call
one in June. That letter, said Troelstra,
caused the Dutch Socialists to act.
This American suggestion was sup
ported later by the Socialist parties of the
small neutral countries of Europe, and
even by those of most belligerent coun-
tries. The Dutch committee first con-
suited with the Scandinavian organlza-
tions. and this resulted in organizing a
so-called Dutch Scandinavian committee,
under the Craftsmanship of NJ. Brantng'
of Sweden. which undertook to father the
international congress. It's call, which
was sent out about the middle Of April
was for congress at Stockholm May %.
The French and British organizations,
however. received the call with great sus7
picion The permanent committee OF the
French Socialist party declared that the
purpose Of the proposed congress was not
defined with sufficient clearness, and
moreover, that the Dutch committee had no
authority to act in the matter. The Brit
in Labor party also threS cold water on

1t is only reasonable to suppose that
every woman has done something to
contribute to the comfort and good
cheer of our soldiers at Christmas
time, and is prepared to return to the
routine duties which she has taken
up for them. Persistence in the work
of making and furnishing supplies for
the Red Cross spells success in the
women's efforts. 1t is inspiring to see
the businesslike way in which the
work of units all over the country Is
being handled. In nearly all communi-
ties reliable volunteer workers, women
of church societies, clubs and other or
ganizations, report for work at their
Red Cross headquarters for certain
definite periods each week. Even at
some inconvenience to themselves,
these women agree upon certain days,
or certain hours, when they will report
at the workrooms provided for Red
Cross work, and do whatever has been
assigned to them. Some women are
able to give two or three days in the
week, others only one, and business
women sometimes give generously of
their little leisure in the evenings. 1t
is by this maintenance of effort, week
in and out, that women are making a
new record for themselves, and a
friendly rivalry between clubs or
church societies stimulates the work
The midland journal., 1917-12-28

and keeps sewing machines and
needles flying at the Red Cross rooms.
1t is reported that the Germans cap
tured eighty hospitals in the recent
drive on Italy, and that within ten
days the Red Cross was able to supply
hospital equipment of every descrip-
ton to make good this big loss, and
did make it good. The work of the
women makes such splendid per-
formance possible, and the demand
for this work is going to continue for
some time. Women of wealth who can
be more useful in some other lines
than sewing, sometimes hire seam
stresses to do their part; but it is the
volunteer workers who are the strong
right arm of the Red Cross in its work
of caring for the sick and wounded and
needy.
Those who want to make individual
gifts to the soldiers ask so often: j:
what shall send to the boys?" One
bright young officer, in answer to that
question, very promptly recommended
three things that are always welcome,
Tobacco, soap and tooth-brusheS-or
toeth-brushes, tobacco and SOAP"
These things are always in demand
and always fill a need somewhere.
They have way of disappearing, like
three meals a day.

A simple and lovely negligee is
shown above. 1t will entice every
woman into a longing for it and espe-
cially her who has little time, in these
strenuous days, for rest and refresh
ment at home. 1t is more commend
able than ever to remember to be at
tractively dressed within the four
walls of home and to be able to help
others to relax and forget the cares
Of the times for little while.
This negligee is made of soft, light
satin in any of the pale colors used for
negligees. 1t is almost as simple as a
kImono, being a straight gown, open
down the front with loose three
quarter length sleeve set in a large
arms eye. 1t is hemmed down the front
and finished at the bottom with big
cable cord run in narrow hem, after
the manner of japanese robes. There
is a loose girdle at the waist made of
a folded strip of the satin. 1t terlni-
mates at each side of the front, where
the ends are folded under. A short
length of ribbon is knotted at the ends
of the girdle on each side and falls in
pointed end about eight inches be-
low the waist.
Between the ends of ribbon small
wreath of little silk blossoms and buds,
gives final dainty touch of gay colors
to the girdIe and makes contribution
to the beauty of the garment almost
equal to that of the lace drapery. This
Is merely a length Of wide silk lace
