WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-All American
women are to be registered for war service.
The woman's committee of the Council OF
National Defense had before it this after
noon two plans for registering the woman

The plans were prepared by Mrs. Ira

committees.
Under the first plan special day or
period of time would be set aside for the
registration of women by Governors of the

SYSTEM FAILS.
Washington, March 15.-Samuel
GOmpers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, today declared
he is in favor of compulsory training
and service, either military and in
dustrial, provided voluntary service
is proved a failure.
We must have service" he told
the United Press. 1T should be VO-
luntary. There must be no cOmpUI-
sorry service enforced until every OPP
pOrtUnity is given to prove voluntary
service ineffective.
Though not forgetting the pres
ent situation, we must still talk in
terms Of peace. The great confer
ence here, however, pledged Iabors
service to the country in any form
whatever
But, at the same time the resOlU-
ton specially declares the govern
ment must recognize the organized
movements as the agency through
which it must cooperate with wage
earners.
"On the other hand, labor believes
voluntary service should be given
more of a trial The voluntary idea
has not yet been given sufficient
trial to warrant immediate adoption
of policy of compulsory service.
There is a lot of difference be-
tween training manual and physical
that is voluntarily entered into and
encouraged by propaganda and ed
UcatiOn, and that of compulsion."

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, March
1S.-The officers and men of the 25th
Infantry had the pleasure Friday aft
ernoon Of hearing philosopher and
orator in the person of Bishop Leo
nard, who addressed them upon pat
riotism. The bishop placed much en-
phasis upon moral courage as being
the first requisite necessary in the
making Of good soldier. He also
outlined the Civil War in most dra-
matte manner and showed the respon-
sibility that rested upon President
Lincoln at time when dependency
has hanging over the country like q
great cloud and that such times de-
mand a man of the keenest intellect
and diplomatic conceptions.
The bishop compared President VIII.
son with President Lincoln, showing
that Wilson has shown similar good
courage and Judgment in this most
critical epoch which the United States
Is now facing.
The officers and men of the regi-
ment feel that they have been given
the one big treat of the year in hear
ing the bishops address and that his
visit to Hawaii is great asset to the
lovers Of oratory.

WHY RHEUMATISM COMES
WITH COLD WEATHER
fRy vaIentlne Mott Pierce, N. ID

(By Valentine Mott Pierce, M. d.
A close connection exists between
these two-cold weather and rheuma-
tism. Prof. Alex. Haig Of London has
the most followers fl the medical pro-
fession in the belief that the presence
in the system of uric acid. or its salts
in excess, is the real cause Of rheuma-
tism. Every one has recognized the
difference in the Appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold; there Is
often copious sediment of brick
dust"
Several causes may lead up to an ae-
emulation OF uric .acid in the system,
which, in turn. cause rheumatism or
gout, or creaky joins, swollen fingers;
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid,
by profuse sweating, as in the hot
weather, and the kidneys are unable
to take care of the double burden. An
other reason is that people do not
drink as much water In cold weather
as in summer, which helps to flush
the kidneys. Again, they eat more
meat in cold weather, and some peo-
pie dIc 81 ouoCCPSAUiC CAA1S shOJ SSS--

At all such times persons should

any drug store. Ii dissolves the uric
