PLACE FoR EVERYBODY.

The United States government Is
reaching out for a great number Of
camoufieur recruits, and it will be
pleased to hear from those who are
expert in making objects seem differ
ent from what they actually are. In
the French army there are said to be
1900 such artists, and the opinion is
freely expressed that the United
States should have no difficulty in OBJ
tanning the services Of as many more,
says Christian Science Monitor. Stage
settlers, circus side-show painters, re-
tired dime-museum operators, people
with a genius for lending enchantment
to the view, near or distant, the man
who can make a cannon look like a
tree trunk, or a trench look like an
innocent irrigating ditch, will probably
be welcomed by the committee on ma
tional defense. There is q place in
the nations service for everybody who
is willing and able, and the first-class
faker, apparently, is going to have an
honorable place in the war.

The car made bad mistake when
he consented to have revolution start
ed as a means of withdrawing from the
war-if that is what he did. Starting
a revolution Us like setting fire in
house. The trouble may get beyond
control. Certainly it did in this case.
At the present moment the car and
his family are living in a fiat at To-
bolsk, but that is not the worst of their
miseries. The authorities in the To-
bolsk district are issuing food cards
and the Romanoffs must obtain their
food the same as other citizens. The
probability is that the car with his
food card will find it difficult to. pro-
cure caviare sandwiches three times

WELL, the Woman-Suffrage ques-
w ton is virtually settled. This
right, so long and so unjustly denied
Woman, is now being given to her in
almost every land. In Europe every
where Woman has come to the fore to
help save the world from being trodden
beneath the heel of the Kaiser and his
Huns. J..
In Russia the heroic women with their
Legion of Death regiment have by
their bravery and fidelity even unto
death, shamed the cowardly men who
by hundreds of thousands have forsaken
their nations flag in its hour of peril.
In France and England women have
taken mems places in every kind of
dangerous and difficult work, in the
fields. at the workbench, in the NUM-
ton plants everywhere, and are doing
in every case quite as well as the men,
and often, better.
A writer describes 5000 women ne
saw making six inch shells at Lyons,
France-"a convincing demonstration
Of woman's ability to do mems work !!
\ Less than one third Of the employees are
Nmen. In some departments where
delicate fuse mechanisms are made. the
work is wholly done by women."
Women aredoing the same work as
England. In recognition Of her sp'en-
did labors, without which it is confess
ed England's fight would have been
impossible, the ballot has at last been
promised her.
Hear what the late Premier Asquith
said in the House of Commons: "The
war could not be carried on without
them. In gratitude for their tremen-
dous and remarkable services during the
war. and because leaders in the world
thought have come to realize that
nation needs its woman-power IN the
full efficiency Of citizenship, suffrage
has at last been promised women.
This tribute, remember is from
man once bitterly opposed to granting
the ballot to woman
In cur own land the women are every
where disclosing like patriotic effi-
cheney in every department OF labor,
and in thousand ways replacing men
called to the trenches, always dong
their tasks quite as we'll as the men did
them!
Two millions of women are now voters
in nineteen states. New York endorsed
woman suffrage by the superb majority
of 100, OOO-a change Of over 300,
from the last vote two or three yeals
ago This victory insures a speedy
national triumph for that cause. There
never was any more justification for
the denial to Woman of this right, than
there was for the old practice of human
slavery-custom and brute force, no
other reason.
1t is to be hoped that the silly fe-
males and jackassical males who here
in Delaware are wasting time and
money in a vain effort to stay this on
coming avalanche, will find some more
useful ways to expend their cash and
their energies. Would they realize
how puny and futile all their laoors are,
we would advise them to read Sydney
Smiths famous description of the old
woman who tried to mop up the North
Sea which once upon the occasion of a
very high tide, had invaded her back
yard.
