German Women DO Work Of Horses

What American women may ex-
pect If Prussian Kultur Is not stamp
ed from the face Of the earth is gath
cred from the observations OF an
American bicycle tourist who left
Germany shortly after the outbreak
OF the war, says the January Popular
Mechanics Magazine in an Illustrated
article. The spectacle of women do
ing all manner Of heavy labor was
never particularly unusual in Ger
many, even In pre-war days, but the
sight of four women harnessed like
horses and pulling a plow was dis
tinct shock to the traveller, who wit
messed this scene along the roadside
in the State Of Hesse- Nassau.
The tourist stopped that night at a
nearby inn md there, in conversation
with number of German peasants,
expressed surprise that women should
be driven to such drudgery. The
peasants were much astonished when
informed that women in America sell
dom work at any task heavier than
household duties or light factory or
office toll.

of this country are now being
perfected by the American
Railway Association at the re-
quest of the United States gov
ernment. Altogether, $1,000
men will have to be transport
ed to the various environments
that the government is building
to house the new National
Army. The movement will
start September S. Between
that date and September 9 the
railroads will complete the en-
trainment of 100000 men, or
approximately so per cent OF
the total number scheduled to
be moved to the various train
ing camps.
1t is expected that a secono
movement of approximately
100000 men will begin on Sep
tember 10, continuing for four
days there after, and a third
movement of the same size on
October >.
Some conception of the mag
nitude of the task confronting
the American Railway Assocl-
alton in preparing schedules
that will assure the safe and
prompt transportation of these
armies without interfering with
regular traffic may be CLEANED
from the fact that to move
merely one field army of So
900 men requires 6,229 cars
made up into 366 trains, with
as many locomotives and train
crews.
Meanwhile, in addition to
moving the 6S7,000 recruits for
the National Army, railroads
have been asked to supply
transportation for the 100000
of the National Guard
to their training camps. This
Guard movement has
already started and will con-
tinue in increasing volume until
all have been moved.

1T is COMMON SENSE

IT. HERE is Justice and good
O< sense in the efforts of
sheepmen to have their
,herders exempted from the
draft on occupational grounds.
A trained sheepherder or
camp tender actually follow
ing such work can be of more
service to the country in his
regular line of work than he
can be as an enlisted man in
the army. IF too many such
men are taken by the draft
they viii be hard to replace for
the reason that experienced
men in such work cannot be
made in a day or even in one
season. An inexperienced
man on our summer ranges
would have difficulty taking
care of himself and in keeping
from getting lost-not to men
ton the care of his band. Why
bring about situation where
such men viii have to be used?
The district boards viii show
Judgment and patriotism if
they listen closely to requests
for exemptions on OccupatiOnal
grounds.
