Unionists Urge SHUTS
As Irish Mediator
rBy Cable to The Trlbunel

London, May lS.-To-day's DAILY
News" points out that the Ulster
extremists are weakening somewhat
in their hostility to a national con-
vention, while it is becoming generally
known that Sir Edward Carson is
anxious for settlement "The Star
tonight makes the suggestion that
General SHUTS be called in to aid in
the reconciliation. IT says:
South African unity was attained
by a convention. We may suggest
that the presence of General SHUTS
in this country ought TO be utilized
through an invitation t. him by the
Irish parties to preside over the con-
vention. He is a great statesman and
possesses a genius for Cancellation:
He worked miracles in the union Of
South Africa.
There is no man who could do
more TO bring the various interests
of ireland together. He seems to us
a man of destiny. The man who
healed the wounds of South Africa
ought to be invited TO help heal the
wounds of Ireland The hour demands
bold initiative and daring Imagination.
For the sake of Ireland and the
British commonwealth. for the sake
of the Allied cause, Irish unity must
be established"

Millions Of Pounds of Food Spoil
While Waiting ChancetoEnter City
Tremendous Wastage Due to Lack of Proper Trans
poration Facilities Shown in Figures Com
piled by City Health Bureau

During the first 125 days of this year
S,33Os96 pounds of good, nourishing
food intended for New York City was
wasted before entering its markets. A.
the same rate 24,326,155 pounds Of
nourishment will be wasted between
field and market before the end of the
year.
This is the only waste that can
be estimated in figures. 1t is the loss
sustained in transporting food from
the shippers to the New York dealers
1t is food condemned from January I
TO May ;. 1917. by the Bureau of Foods
and Drugs of the Health Department
or rejected and thrown into the dump
heaps by wholesale and commission
merchants because they found part Of
the goods spoiled and feared condemna-
ton. To compute the amount of food
wasted during the twelve months from
the amount wasted during the first 1875
days of the year necessarily gives a
low estimate. because less food is
spoiled in cold weather than during the
summer.
If the wastage in pounds is trans
lated into dollars and cents at an aver
age retail price Of % cents pound
the yearly cash loss in food supplies at
the citys gates amounts to S5,9Sl ,53S.
Loss Not Really Heavy
Figures. when they climb up into
millions. always look imposing, but as
a matter of fact these figures are re-
markedly low. They represent, how
ever, only a small fraction of the total
waste of food, which begins before the
supplies enter the city and ends IN the
garbage buckets on the back porch. A
loss of 24,326,155 pounds represents
only trife more than four pounds per
capita of New York's population. The
cash waste is but few cents more
than a dollar per capita.
Lucius 2. Brown. director OF the Bu-
reau of Foods and Drugs, who COM
piled the figures from the reports OF
his inspectors, declares this waste could
be largely eliminated. He admits 1t is
only & small fraction Of what is wasted
in the warehouses;, cold storage plants.
wholesale and retail grocery houses and
finally in the kitchens, where probably
more food is thrown away than IN all
the other places combined.
Must Instruct Housewives
"But TO eliminate the waste in the
kitchen is o matter of education" said
Mr.. Brown. at will take years. per-
haps generation, unless the war
should pinch us hard. The waste suf-
fered in transportation can be low
cred to the minimum by the proper CO.
operation between shipper. railroads
and consignee. 1t would probably be
necessary to appoint food dictator to
enforce the necessary cooperation. In

British Women's War Work
Entails Many Sacrifices
History Will Never Reveal Detail of the Burdens They
Are Bearing to Tighten the Loads OF Men
Called to the Coors

that they had not dreamed would ever
be asked of them.
Women in Unfamiliar Posts
1t is not only that women have re-
placed men in occupations with which
before they were familiar, nor that
they have taken their places at work
which before the war they had never
attempted, but that they have shared
and are sharing with men the work OF
organizing the nation for war. Women
as well as men have created new de-
partments from the beginning OF lew
secretaries and the rooms of an empty
hotel.
AT the Board of Agriculture, at the
Beard of Trade, at the Ministry OF
Munitions, at the office Of the National
Service. the work of women IS organ
lied and controlled by women. There
are women at the head of the nursing
services of the navy and the army ana
the Red Cross, and there are British
women in charge of hospitals IN all the
countries of the Allies. >.
We remember in time Of war that II
was a woman who led France out OF her
deepest extremity; that 1t was woman
who governed England in the days OF
her greatest adventures, of the begin.
ming of her empire, Of the opening OF
the seas of the world.
But if you would see the portrait OF
the English woman as the war has found
her YOU must look in book OF the
last great war of Europe hundred
wears ago. Curiously enough, 1t is IN a
book which, though written at the time
of war. does not mention war, but is
peaceful comedy of English manners:
II is the figure of Mrs. Croft in Miss
Austen's "Persuasions." She had been
all over the seas of the world with her
husband. the admiral, and was as capa-
bic Of handling frigate as he. she
has squareness, uprightness and
vigour of form which gave Importance
10 her person. ner manner
were open. easy, decided, like one who
had no distrust Of herself, and no doubt
what to do"
That is the authentic portrait OF the
modern English woman, capable IN dan
ger. eauable in difficult circumstances,
who i'm this war has worked with eager
ness and resolution at home, AFRAID
neither of new labors nor of great re-
sponsibility. and who is to be found IN
the hospitals at all the Allied fronts.
She is working in France. in Italy, IN
Russia. in Serbia, in Montenegro, in
Rumania. To all these countries ad-
venturous British women have gone.
Some already wear the decorations
which they give their soldiers for vaior
in the field. Some will never return.
