Can They "Come Back

John McCourt, Uncle Sans official uplifter in
the Northwest, would have all the unfortunate
women abandon their calling and be absorbed
into legitimate industries.
First however, he would have them examined
by physicians, and such as are diseased he would
have isolated and cured. Seattle is now putting
his plan into effect.
1t is problematical if the women themselves
will cooperate with McCourt whose sole pur-
pose is to make life safe for the soldiers:
1t is even more problematical if society in gen.
eral would cooperate with McCourt
Would you, for example, employ one Of these
women in your home as domestic? Would you
give her employment as saleswoman in your
storef
Yet that is exactly what you must do If you
would help save some American soldier from a
terrible fate before they have had chance to
strike single blow for democracy
There was a time in this western country of
ours when it was more than impolite, it was
positively dangerous fatal-to ask
man where he hailed from and what his real
name was
We accepted men at their face value then, and
we did not inquire too closely into their intimate
histories.
So, it seems to us, we must do now with these
women. The women will be rounded up, exam
med and made ready for McCourts experiment.
Wether they return to rectitude and honest en-
ployment is entirely up to you.

Where Germany Lost

The present opposition, in the United States,
to German opera and to German music gener-

to desire to deny it the place it has won in the

spread conviction that Germany should be made
to realize in every possible way, the position and
prestige she has lost in American esteem as
result Of the methods Of her government-C
