France to Name New Diplomats

Paris, May 1S.-The government is
considering the reorganization of the
French diplomatic representation in
several European capitals. 1t is be-
lieved that high political personages
could act with great benefit to France
by reason of the celebrity they have
gained in public life. With this end in
view the government has opened GER
tain negotiations. the results of which
are expected to be known shortly.

London, May ls.-It was On American
who said. toward the end of the second
year of the war, that if you came to
London at night you knew of the war
tv the darkened streets; if you came
bv day you knew by the women in uni
form.
Many women. in all manner OF uni
forms, pass you in the street, from
women in nurses coats to women IN the
Khaki hats and greatcoats of soldiers
and the badge of the Army Service
Obrps. There are women on every
tramcar and omnibus, women as police
patrols. women on duty at all the rail-
way stations, women carrying the let
ter bags, women driving the big de-
livery vans Of shops.
But these are only the few who catch
the eye; there are the hundreds Oh
thousands more who wear no uniform,
but 20 about the business Of men, or
about those new businesses which war
has made, which belong to neither men
nor women, but which women have
taken for their share.
Women's War Work Vast
The history may some day be at
TEMPTED of the war work of women. but
half will still remain unwritten OF all
that they have done in these two and
half wears TO help and hearten the men
who went to war. to fill their places
and to supply their many needs, from
the first days of August, 1914, when
men stood Gin the streets for hours
waiting TO enlist, and women took them
food and drink. to the day in the thir-
ty-second month of the war when IN
seventy-two hours 5000 had answered
the governments appeal for women to
serve in France.
Any figures of the war work OF
women are incomplete as soon as they
are written down. The Ministry OF
Munitions alone has been recruiting
women lat the rate of thousands week.
The navy and the army add continually
to the number of women IN their SER
vice. Yet even the incomplete figures
give some idea Of the extent of the
work that the war has asked from
women. IL has brought million more
into industry who have come from all
classes, and not only from those TO
which. before the war, the four mill
ions of wage earning women belonged.
In some industries there are three
times and four times as many women
working as before the war. In govern
ment establishments, dockyards, ar
senals and factories there are sixty
times as many.
What women had done TO release
men for military service up TO the be-
ginning Of the third year OF the war
the following figures show. From
banking and finance they had released
81 900. from the work of transport they
had released $1,000. from the govern
ment employ they had released l17,000.
In the naval dockyards alone there are
Z 600 women working. where before
tho war there were fewer than 500.
and the women in the service of the
army are numbered by tens Of thou
sands. ,
But no figures can give any idea Of
the variety or the responsibility OF the
work that women have undertaken nor
Of that change which war has made IN
,beir lives II has been change
greater 10 them than 10 men, for while
men have done only that duty which
has been theirs in all countries and all
times. women have attempted much

People of Erin Betrayed as
Were Balkan Nations,
He Declares
Redmond as Venizelos
Greek Leader and Head of
Nationalists Both Left
in Lurch
BY JOHN DILLON
Nationalist Member Of Parliament
from Mayo



London, May 1s.-The laundering,
fcebleness, breaches of faith and ut
ter lack Of any firm. continuous pol
icy on the part OF successive British
governments has now reduced Ireland
TO condition analogous to that in
the Balkans. In ireland, as in the
Balkans, the British government has
betrayed and thwarted its friends and
played the game of its enemies with
result as disastrous to the cause OF
the Allies in one region as the other.
SO far as their relation to Great
Britain is concerned. see a great re-
semblance between the fate Of Vent
zelos and John Redmond. Both arc
real statesmen; both took broad.
far-seeing view Of the situation Gre
ated by the outbreak of the war, and
both men saw the absolute necessity
of ranging their nations on the side
Of democracy and human liberty in
this world conflict. Both had to con-
tend with terrible and complicated
difficulties rooted in the history of
their peoples Both had to rely on
the loyal support of the British gov
eminent for the success of their poll
cies. And both were shamefully be-
trayed.
The results are seen to-day in the
practical loss of the Balkans to the
Allies, the ruin of Serbia. the terrible
complication of the Greek situation
and the chaotic condition Of Ireland.
Had Redmond got anything approach
ing fair play from the British gov
eminent in the early days Of the war,
Ireland and the Irish race throughout
the world would to-day be q powerful
asset on the side of the Allies.
All their national sympathies go
with the fight for liberty and OPP
pressed nationalities. But by sac
cession Of blunders and brutalities
the Irish have been embittered and
estranged. Their faith in the sim
certy of the British government as
champion of small nations has been
DESTROYED. with the result that, instead
of being a source of strength to Brit
ain, ireland is at this moment
source of weakness and danger.
With regard to Lloyd Georges last
proposal, any attempt to settle the
Irish question on the basis of a di-
vided Ireland would only result in
greatly aggravating the condition of
that country, and. taking into corsid-
Grafton all the circumstances Of the
present situation, am strongly of
the opinion that the best prospect for
settlement is to be found in the
proposed Irish convention offered in
Lloyd Georges letter.
II remains to be seen, however,
whether, even at the eleventh hour,
Lloyd George has the courage to put
through this offer now that it has
been unanimously accepted by the
Irish party and prominent Irishmen
outside the ranks of the party. /
need hardly say that, if the govern
ment withdraws from this offer and
repeats the tactics Of last July, the
situation in ireland will be infinitely
worse, and it is gravely to be feared
that. unless America and our other
Allies make some grave remonstrance,
unhappy Ireland will have TO pass
through another period of chaos and
blood before the long drawn-out story
Of her national agony is ended.

Perishable Food Left Exposed

The condemnation reports show that
large quantities of food materials are
permitted TO spoil on the piers and in
warehouses on the waterfronts. Sacks
and crates are left exposed to the ele-
ments until rain and sun and dirt make
the contents unsafe for consumption.
There is no excuse for letting food
spoil in this manner" said Mr.. Brown,
"and there should be a severe penalty
for such offences. Producers and ship
pers should also be compelled &c exer-
else greater care on their part. good
share of the fruits and vegetables
which arrive here in damaged condi-
ton should never have been shipped
at all. The shipper should Immediately
can all fruits and vegetables which
show signs of approaching overripe-
ness, instead of sending them on long
journeys in the hope they may bring
a slightly higher price if they escape
being spoiled.
also there should be closer coopera-
ton between shipper and wholesale
merchants. Shippers continue to send
certain food materials to the city when
the market is glutted. The result is
that the food spoils here before 1T can
be delivered to the consumer"
The Bureau of Markets of the De-
partment of Agriculture is doing its
best to bring the producers, shippers
and wholesale merchants closer to-
gether, and to accomplish this task the
branch office of the bureau. at 2O4
Franklin Street. New York. sends out
daily market reports. These reports
acquaint shippers and producers with
the supply of food materials in the city:
The bureau also sends out valuable and
practical hints as to packing of fruits
and vegetables so as to obviate waste
through improper shipping methods.

fact. | don't see how the waste of food
all around can be checked otherwise.
THE waste in transportation is more
serious than the figures indicate. for
oertain products. such as fruit, are es-
pecially affected. The loss Of large
consignments of oranges has an influ-
ence on the market. We not only lose
the oranges. but we have to pay higher
prices for the supplies on hand in lin
tied quantities. In, other words. the
loss is doubled. On the other hand,
shippers\ and producers are discour-
aged. for they have to stand the inan-
cial loss on goods spoiled wholly or in
part. and they become shy at the New
York market"
The history of the food consign-
ments. condemned or thrown away by
the receivers here, is recorded by the
inspectors of Mr. Browns department.
From these reports it is shown that
a good share Of the food is spoiled
through delay and carelessness in
transportation. Consignments Of fruit,
worth hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. have been ruined through i'm
proper refrigeration. or because "the
fast freight" by which the shipment
was originally sent, proved to be slow
freight Practically all of it was al
lowed to mould on a pier. after the
labor of hauling it from the bottom of
the bay.

OKLAHOMA BANDITS
KILLED BY POSSE
CAMP FOUND NEAR
OKMULGEE, OKLAHOMA
Surrounded by Deputies, the
Men Are Killed When
They Resist Arrest.

OkMULGEE, Okla, Jan. 49,. One
of the most daring bands OF outlaws
who have been terrorizing Oklahoma
by repeated and sensational bank
robberies for many months was
broken today, in the opinion of the
county authorities, when three Of the
bandits were killed during gun fight
with a pursuing posse. One other
member of the bang was killed yes
terday and, another was captured.
Six times since January l, has the
gang given battle to posses and four
outlaws have been killed, one wounded
and one taken prisoner. Three mem
bers Of pursuing posses have been
shot and killed. More than $4,000 OF
loot from banks has been recovered.
The fight today between the bandits
and the posse occurred at the rem
devious of the outlaws in the Deep
Fork river bottoms, eighteen miles
southwest Of here.
4 suspicious looking camp had been
discovered there and county officers
were informed Of 1t. Immediately a
posse of citizens was organized and
made deputy sheriffs. They were
hurried to the Deep Fork ravine in
but when they arrived at
the camp which was hidden craftily
BY a brush shelter, they found no one
there.
Indications were, however, that the
bandits expected to return. The depu-
" sheriffs decided to wait and accord
ingly hid themselves around the camp.
forming a semi-circle.
After a long wait the possemen saw
three men cautiously approach the
shelter, having come. from a nearby
farmhouse. The leader Of the posse
stepped out from hiding and demand
ed that the three surrender.
Instantly the bandits dropped to
the ground and began to fire at the
possemen That was a signal for the
three score or more deputies to reply
and for several minutes Volley Of
shots followed.
But the bandits were in the open
and were fair targets for the deputies
who finally killed the three of them.
All three were shot in the head. Only
one member of the posse was injured.
