CHAPTER XII.

The Door That Was to Open.
What q silly little idiot she'd been
not to have seen the thing for her
self! Shed been, all the while, beat
ing her head against blind walls when
there was a door there waiting to
open of itself when the time came.
Motherhood! There'd be a doctor
and a nurse at first, of course, but
presently they'd go away and she'd
be left with baby. Her own baby
She could care for him with her own
hands, feed him-her joy reached an
ecstasy at this-from her own breast
That life which Rodney led apart
from her, the life into which she had
tried with such ludicrous unsuccess
to effect an entrance. was nothing to
this new life which was to open before
her in few short months now. Mean
while. she not only must walt
she could well afford to.
That was why she could listen with
that untroubled smile of hers to the
terrible things that Rodney and
James Randolph and Barry Lake and
Jane got into the way of hurling
across her dinner table. and to the
more mildly expressed but equally
alkaline cynicisms Of Jimmy Wallace.
Jimmy was dramatic critic on one
Of the evening papers as well as bit
Of playwright. He was a slim. cool,
smiling, highly sophisticated young
man, who renounced all privileges as
an interpreter of life in favor Of re-
naming an unbiased observer of it.
He never bothered to speculate about
what you ought 10 do-he waited to
see what you did.
Well, in the Light of the miraculous
transformation that lay before her.
Rose could listen undaunted to the
tough philosophizings her husband and
Barry Lake delighted In as well as to
the mordant merciless realities with
which Doctor Randolph and Jimmy
Wallace confirmed them. She wasn't
Indifferent to 1t all.
"Jim's pretty weird when he gets
going" Eleanor Randolph said to Fred
erica. on the next day after they had
been dining at the Aldriches'. "but that
Barry Lake has a sort Of surgical way
of discussing just anything. and his
wife's as bad.
I'VE never got OF women all the
evening. Barry Lake had their his

and Jim got of string Of patholog-
ical freaks. And then Rodney came
out strong for economic independence,
only with his own queer angle on 1t,
Of course. He thought it would be a
fine thing. but 1t wouldn't happen un-
til the men insisted on 1t. When a
girl wasn't regarded as manageable
unless she had been trained to trade
or a profession. then things would be-
gin to happen. I think he meant 1t,
too.
"well, and all the while there sat
Rose, taking 1t all in with those big
eyes Of hers. smiling to herself now
and then; saying things, too. some
times. that were pretty good. though
nobody but Jimmy seemed to under
stand. always. Just what she meant.

So far a. externals went. her life,
that spring, was immensely simplifed.

LABOR QUESTION IS
Big ONE IN BRITAIN
Unions Expect Workman to Get
Pre-War Jobs
Correspondence Of The Associated
Press

Press.)
i, London, Aug, 30.-A vast sphere of
work lies before the new British
Minister Of Reconstruction, whose
office has just been added to those
included in the, British cabinet
Premier Lloyd George is firmly con-
WINGED that the foundation for the
complex work of reconstruction after
the war ought to be begun at once,
even If it is at first confined to matters
of inquiry and investigation.
9 The largest question before the new
ministry will be the question of
carrying out the governments pledges
to the labor unions that their pre-
war position will be restored to them.
Employers frequently have argued
that this will be impossible. Union
leaders insist that the government
has given its pledge and must fulfill
it.
= Discussing this phase of postwar
conditions, Professor L. T. Hobhouse,
head of the department of sociology
in London University and one of the
governments advisers on labor, said
today:
! The business Of the ministre of
reconstruction is to think out the
best methods by which the half
form ulated, misunderstood impulses
of the masses of people can get them
selves expressed in a reasonable man.
ner. The first problem with which we
shall be faced is that of reconstruct
ing trade union conditions. I say re-
constructing advisedIy, because if we
were to speak of restoration there
would be those who would hay at
-
the total change in conditions which
the war has brought about
But this is a problem in which the
good faith fthe government is in
volved. Nothing could be more def
mite than the pledge to trade union
lists that the alterations involved in
dilution Of labor and the suspension
of customs of the trade should hold
only for the period of the war. If this
pledge is not fulfilled it will be fatal
blow to the confidence OF the public
in the good faith Of governments. If
it is shown that it cannot be full
filled because circumstances have al
tered, the answer must be that we
can only vary a pledge with the con-
sent of the persons to whom the
pledge was made.
~
tons cannot be restored, then it will
be for the trade unionistsn to deter
mine what arrangements they would
accept as a substitute for tho old con-
ditions. The Reconstruction commit
tee has already taken step in this
direction by suggesting the formation
of industrial councils in which both
employer and employed shall be rep
resented and have considerable pow
ers in shaping the course of each in
dustry. In such councils it will be
possible for trade unionists and en-
+ployers to discuss frankly and fully
the best methods of meeting the new
situation, so as to secure a renewed
progress of British industry with fair
conditions for the worker. Any sys-
tenn to which the trade union men,
bers of such councils agree might, for
, that industry be taken as the fair
equivalent of that restoration of con-
ditions which we pledged.
Much of the unrest in the labor
world today, attributed to doubts as
to the fulfllment of this pledge,
might be overcome if such a meth cd
of redeeming the pledge were adopt
ed"

BRITISH KIND TO
PRISONERS OF WAR
German Delegate Says They Re-
CeiVe Excellent Treatment

London, August Is, Correspond
ence)-Admission that the treatment
of German war prisoners in Great
Britain was superior to the treatment
. received in any other country was
made by the chief German delegate to
the recent conference of British and
Germans on war prisoners, according
to a statement made by Baron New
ton, one of the British delegates, in
the House of Commons
Virtually no complaint was made of
the British methods of dealing with
war prisoners, Lord Newton added.
One impression he derived from his
intercourse with the delegates was
that, in spite Of the German powers
of contradiction, Berlin headquarters
did not know a great deal of what
went on. That impression, he said,
more or less confirmed what James w.
Gerard the late American Ambassa-
dor at Berlin, used to tell him. that
there was less Capitalization than was
supposed and that the control at Ber-
lin over prisoners of war was nothing
like so effective in this country. He
had a strong suspicion that a great
deal went on in various German
camps of which the central German
administration knew little.
AS they had twenty times as many
prisoners as the British had, it would
be surprising, he said, if they did
KNOW all that went on,
