British and French governments. had
lent them. in the aggregate, about two
thousand million dollars with which to
pay the bills. But the time mad come tor
further extensions of credit, and this
earlier machinery was not adequate. The
European governments were obliged to
use their credit to the full extent in the
floating of domestic loans. They were
now obliged to pay from per cent. to Z
per cent. for money. Secretary McAdoo,
with the full support of the President ana
the Administration, proposed to lend the
Allies three thousand million dollars, on
the credit of the United States Govern
ment at the rate Of 81 per cent. inter-
own bonds to the American investor,
great and small. The European govern
ments benefting by this credit were mere
" to deposit with the United States
Treasury their own unsecured obligations
at 81 pc cent
This was a generous project, but not a
quixotic one. To have given the Ameri-
can investor a higher interest would have
interfered unduly with other investments
and uses of capital; and no one would
have wished to make the rate charged to
the Allied governments higher one than
that which our Government paid to the
investor Since, however, the best of the
governments abroad have been borrowing
at about 81 per cent. it : very great
help to them to obtain Vast credits at 81.

The extent to which women have re :

which they are required to perform in
factories and other lines of endeavor,
periods Of employment arrangements
for rest and meals. and the physical
conditions of women. workers. together
with a discussion of matters affecting
the employment of Juveniles, including
hours OF labor. and supervision of
health and welfare. are set forth IN
Bulletin 223 recently issued by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics Of the L. 5.
Department of Labor.
This bulletin, entitled. Employment
~ women and juveniles in Great Brit
ain during the war" is the third one
made up OF reprints of official and
quasi official documents. giving the eX-
perience of Great Britain and other
foreign countries In dealing with labor
conditions resulting from the war. 1t
embraces reprints of two memoranda
issued by the Health of Munition
Workers Committee and summary OF
a comprehensive statement relating to
replacement of men by women in in
iustry as published by the British AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Sci
ence in it's book, Labor. finance and
the war" There is a supplementary
statement respecting the extension of
the EMPLOYMENT Of women during 1916;
q collection Of orders relating to en-
ployment and remuneration of women;
4 report OF the mission appointed to
study output of munitions in France;
and a statement OF the migration of
womens labor through employment eX-
changes
II is estimated that since the war
began down to October. 1916. 9SS,5oo
women or 800 per cent of the number
employed in July. 1914. had been drawn
into the various governmental. 1ndus-
trial and commercial activities. and
that in October. 1915. $4,000 women
had directly replaced men in industry.
Many OF these women are performing
operations never before considered pos
Sihle for them to do.
In seeking to conserve the health
and thus promote the efficiency OF
these workers. the Health of Munition
Workers Committee reached the con-
cmsion that long hours, particularly at
night. are perhaps the chief factors In
fatigue and that in the Interest OF out
put and health they should be restrict
ed. There should be suitable pauses
Tor rest during the working period and
adequate cessation from work at each
week end In addition to periodic holi-
days. The system of three shifts OF
hours each appears to yield better re-
suits than one shift of IS to IA hours
or shifts of l2 hours each. because
the strain OF night work. indeed the
strain generally. is sensibly diminished,
greater vigor Of work is maintained

can be packed on the backs of army
mules and can follow the army every

when the nurses hang them out to dry
in the sun.

daily from the trenches to get baths
and changes, and l try to send them
