Mother in Overalls

Those hopeful young minds who foresee
the abolition of home and marriage and
other trifes appertaining to the relations
of the sexes swim along cheerfully for the
major portion of their route. Then, alas,
some curious and inconsiderate person cas-
ually inquiries: by the way, what do you
propose to do with the children?" Where
upon the hopefuls begin to founder, and
their remoulding Of the world never ex-
hibits quite the same dizziness and cock
sureness thereafter. In plain words, chill
dren are a nuisance and bore to every
theoretic critic Of society.
Yet, from the story of the war, as found
in the illustrated magazines of Europe,
we begin to discover items of hope for the
reformers, and none greater than a re-
cent photograph of French woman mu-
nitions worker, herself in overalls, dan
ding her infant in the creche attached to
her factory Names and places are omit
ted, and we gather that only few NUM-
tons factories have undertaken this enter
prise. But some have, and they are de-
clared to be a complete success. The
mother leaves her baby in the creche in
charge of an attendant when she arrives
in the morning for work. She is permit
ted to nurse the baby as often as is re-
quired during the day. At night she takes
it home. Nothing in Greenwich Village
could be simpler Marriage, infants and
the economically independent worker
travel hand in hand.
OF course, there are other items uncared
for. The period Of birth, for instance.
Plainly, pensions for mothers will be
needed TO cover this interruption in wage
earning. But France has keen eye on
repopulation, and who knows what elab-
crate plans will be worked out TO minimize
the difference in working efficiency be-
tween the workingman and the working
mother-all with due reference to the wei
fare of the future generationsl The war
is bringing women into countless new
occupations. 1t is equally laying a new

Not a Militarist in Disguise

1t is encouraging to find Mr. Henry l..
Slobodin, state chairman of the Socialist
party, aligning himself against Germany
and the "murderous maniac" now at large
in the world, on the same day on which
the secretary Of the National Socialist
party is arrested for violating the espion-
age act. Russell, Spargo, Walling and a
few other Socialists have been farsighted
and patriotic enough heretofore to protest
against the pro-Germanism of their party,
and have been communicated for their
pains. Probably Mr.. Slobodin will share
that honor now, for unfortunately the
Socialists who take their stand for this
government and against peace at any
price, a German peace, are in the minority
To these majority members of his party,
"misled to oppose our government in its
struggle for liberty and democracy" Mr.
Slobodin addresses his words. "In so far
as their opposition is effective, they are
aiding German militarism," he insists. at
is preposterous for them to claim to be
pacifsts when in fact they are lending
their effort to the most formidable mill
tarstic empire in history. have not sur
rendered my claim to be man of peace
1t is the pacifists who are militarists in
disguise" No truer Characterization Of
the situation and of their part in it could
be made The Socialists, for years domi-
mated by German leaders and German doc
trine, have in great part here, as in Ger
many, remained true to German policy,
though it has been in direct contradiction
Of the theory and practice Of the interna-
tionalism they profess to believe in. They
preach the brotherhood of man and give
support to the German autocracy which
foully overcame Belgium, overran Serbia
and Rumania and has endeavored to de-
bauch the new-found Russian freedom.
They preach peace and uphold the Kaiser's
militarism while they endeavor to make
abortive the steps of this country toward
a true and lasting peace.
The leaders of the majority Socialists
cannot be considered fools. The inference
remains that they must be hypocrites or
something worse-much worse. Those
few Socialists who have refused TO be the
Kaiser's servants in disguise stand forth
in honor from party much dishonored.
