WOMEN WORKERS IN WAR TIME,

The first definite attempt in this
country to train women for,men's work
is the. project of Armour l. CO. of Chi-
cago. who propose to hire: women for
future vacancies in certain depart
ments of their packing plant. The war
will ultimately force such action, the
company believes, and it intends To
protect itself by acting in advance OF
the necessity. =, - x
This. move by, the Armours will be
followed by other industrial plants
which have light physical employment
to offer. We are, not LIKELY to. see
women replace men to any such extent
as in thief countries of E.urope--Eng-
land, for example. where 100000 women
are employed in what was formerly
considered mems workout the al
ready noticeable gain of American
women in industry is sure to be ac-
CELEBRATED by the war.
If employers are acting in advance
Of the emergency. it is well for the en-
ployes to act In advance. too. lden-
teal wages FOR Identical work and
efficient organizations for the en-
ployes' protection should be considered
now. Sex discrimination is disappear
ing in politics. Labor must prepare to
deal with it.--Boston Journal.

Won MlcAweER, sTRATEc,sT.

There is no work of familiar litera-
ture less militaristic, We suppose. than
David Copperfield"; and surely there
is no character in the agreeable mar
rative less warlike in nature than Mr..
Wilkins Micawber. Yet it is of that
affable and impecunious optimist that
we are irresistibly reminded in exam
lining German accounts of the retreat
in France n few weeks ago. This, for
example, might have been Field Mar
shall Won Hindenbnrg himself. explain
ing to an interested world lhis "strat-
egic retirement:
"You find us, Copperfield, said Mr..
Micawber, lat present established on
what may be designed as a small and
unassuming scale; but YOU are aware
that l have. in the course Of my career,
surmounted difficulties and conquered
obstacles. You are no stranger to the
fact that there have been periods in
my life when 1t has been requisite that
| should pause until certain expected
events should turn up: when it has
been necessary that should fall back
before making what l trust I shall not
be accused of presumption in termins
"a spring. The present is one of those
momentous stages in the life of man
You find me fallen back for n spring
and ! have every reason to believe that
a vigorous leap will shortly be the
result"
The parallel between Mr.. Micawber's
strategy and that of the Germans Is
singularly impressive, not only because
they fell back fora spring, according
| to his ingenious method, but because
like him, they failed to make the con
templated forward movement. They
| fell back, and stayed back.-Philadel

THE WILL TO WIN.

At least one thing Germanic has not
even been touched yet. so far as it is
possible over here to form u correct
opinion. That Germanic thing is con-
fidence. The Germans do not see any
conceivable outcome to the war except
German victory.
The way may be hard and the
bludgeoning bloody, but, in German
opinion, the unbowed German head will
be high above the heap when the de-
sired end, peace, comes.
There have been disappontments
and tradcgics, heart -sickening delays
and dark days, but to the confident
German there is only one possible out
come. Colt designed it and the Ger
man peoples will work out the design.
1t is German victory.
If any one wants TO know why Ger
many has withstood assaults on all
sides let that one find the answer in
this unwaVering belief that Germany
can not be defeated. There was a jolt
at Marine. There was a jolt at Verdun.
| But these and other jolts have not
seriously disturbed, much less de-
| stroyed, the German confidence. If ii
| had been destroyed there would be
| peace. The present objective is to de-
strpy it.
When German confidence has been
broken down it will 'be easier to beat
down German lines, whether the Hin
| denburg line. the Siegfried line, the
l'Wotan line, or whatever other lines
! may be devised between the Rhine and
| the attack.
| Morale will win this war. The
| strongest nerves, the longest purse, the
most potatoes must be aided by tho
strongest viii. The will to win has tc
| win.
The will to- win can be broken. We
think Germanys will can, be broken
We know it can. We resolve that ours
shall not To, know that the other will
may, be beaten down and to resolve
that the will opposed to 1t shall not
waver is victory-and for the United
States there can be no other answer

THE WOMEN OF FRANCE.

The women of France have won
great honor by great service, but their
work has been woman's work. They
have kept their hands on the details
the things that make the difference
between profit and loss in trade or ag-

walk. They are wise in the technique
of living-not for themselves alone. but
for France. her men and her children.

THE BIBLE

Charles II. Crane writes for Chi
cago paper an account of conditions in
Russia, and, toward the end Of his in
teresting remarks on the religious
awakening over there. says the Rus
SLAMS are reading the Apocalypse.
Whereupon the editor adds a para
graph of his own explaining to. Chi
cagoans that the Apocalypse is a part
OF the Bible.
Significant, very! Twenty years ago
or thirty this editorial fOotnote would
have been absurd because unnecessary.
Today II Is legitimate because essen
tial. Although the Bible stiA leads all
other best sellers, few readit. People
still present Ribles to brides. and
grooms. People still present Bibles to
children. Colporteurs still roam the
country handing out Bibles among, the
Villagers. Associations Of devout en-
thusasts still put Bibles In hotels. But
the Bible is no longer read in the
public schools. 1t is seldom read aloud
| in the home. And the type OF Ameri-
can who daily reads his Bible in secret
from a sense of duty is becoming more
! and more rare.
Quite apart from its moral and re-
ligious bearings. the neglect OF. the
| Bible involves cultural handicap
! worth noting. 1t involves a cramping
of the popular voca bulary. as no other
| literary masterpiece is such q well OF
| English pure and .undefiled. 1t in
wolves a dulling of literary Perceptions.
as literature abounds in biblical allu-
sions which every reader of the Bible
instantly understands, but which only
readers of the Bible ever can. Finally.
it involves n failure to respond to
many a good joke, as an astonishing
percentage of the best quips are noth-
ing more nor less than biblical allu-
sions.-Chicago Tribune.

A JOB FOR PEABODY.

!, The first war scandal Is uncovered
by the Chicago Tribune. 1t says:
, For cold blooded profiteering It
would be, hard to beat the present
manipulation of coal prices. 1t is the
first big scandal OF the war.
A 300 per cent increase in. prices, is
unwafranted and dishonest. There lis
40 shortage of coal; in. fact, some of
the mines are: not being operated the
PURPOSE being. it is; said to cut down
the supply. Neither Is there the slight

ditions. ~: 81. -: +, -
.'fhe. mine owners first added ,65 cents
creased operating !. expenses; recently
they gave it u still'bigger boost by,add-
ing $1.20 more. lnsthe opinion. of i'm
partial observers this is nothing more
nor less than an effort to gouge the
public. 1t is an INSCRIPTIONS attempt
to get rich quick through war profits.
Meanwhile the government needs
thousands of tons of coal to make
rifle barrels. Some harsh things have
been said and some harsh things ought
to be done. The indictment is very
simple: In a time of national crisis
| the coal men, for their own profit, are
holding up not only the public but
the government itself.
| The work OF adjusting this situation
should be passed to q well-known and
able citizen of Chicago, Mr. Francis
Stuyvesant Peabody, who is on the
National Defense committee in charge
Of the fuel department. Mr.. Peabody
is at the head of the Consumers COM
pany of Chicago which controls the
coal business, the ice business and a
few other odds and ends of business
relating to the politics of both parties
Mr.. Peabody is now working for tho
United States government and witt
large authority. If he proves unable
to straighten out the coal situation tn.
job should be turned over to a mil
itary dictator.
