WOMEN IN NEwSPAPER-MAK-
ING.

The war has disturbed every line
of business by calling the young men
who hitherto had been depended
upon in offices, factories and other
establishments, and young women
have in numerous cases replaced
them. Newspapers. like other insti-
| tutions, have seen the necessity of
training young women to their busi-
ness. and in nearly every newspaper
office nowadays you see one or two
or three girls doing reporting, So
ciety writing and general newspaper
work. They generally make good,
too. There are girl-society-edito
on the large daily papers and often
girl-city-editors, besides reporters.
The experience of a Canada paper,
The Toronto Journal, with the
"giri-newspaper-man" is stated as
follows:
Since the war started we have lost
the equivalent of two complete male
STATS by enlistment. / was becom-
ing tired Of conducting what was
virtually kindergarten, training q
cub one day and presenting him with
wrist watch and my blessing the
next, when l thought l would try out
women reporters. We have used

mems department of the paper, but
had never employed them extensive
ly in general reporting. AS we have
been accustomed to do with male re-
porters, we started them on subur-
ban news, and in this work they
Immediately made good. From time
to time, as the need arose, we ad-
ded to the staff until now there are
15 Of them employed. They do prac-
tically the same work as men, cover
ing juvenile and women's police
courts, city hall, board OF education,
conventions and interviews of all
sorts. In short, they answer all the
requirements of the average report
er, and there are very few assign
ments that we can't send them on.
Young women to whom newspaper
work appeals should be preparing
themselves for 1t, for, if the war con-
tinues, newspapers everywhere will
have the same experience as that OF
the Toronto paper. Newspaper work
is not easy, and is not very lucrative.
but it is pleasant, and to some. fas-
1t is possible that young
women will replace young men on
newspapers in the South, even in
South Carolina, as the war drags on.

TIME assassination ON June %,
1911, of the Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, heir to the throne,
quickly resulted in the outbreak OF
world war When Austria Hungary
pressed her demands upon Seryia for
reparation Russia championed the lit
tie Slav nation. Germany declared
that her Austro-Hungarlan ally must
have a free hand in dealing with
Seryia, and the storm broke.
The first two years Of the war, from
August, 1914, to August, 1916. were
marked by the subjugation of nearly
all OF Belgium, part Of northern France,
all Of Servia and the greater part OF
Russian Poland by the German armies.
Russia conquered and then lost a large
slice of Austrian territory in Galicia.
Following the invasion of Belgium in
August, 1911. Great Britain and France
entered the war us the allies of Russia.
The German march toward Paris,
through Belgium and France, was ef-
fectually checked at the river Marine
early in September, 1914, and in the
weeks following the opposing lines in
France and Belgium were established
practically where they remained for the
next two years.
Italy Atered the war in May, 1915,
and attacked Austria by land, east and
northeast Of Venice The first year OF
the war saw the fall of Warsaw and
the extension Of the German front 10
the Dyina river. midway between VAR
saw and PctrogIaAi Ino1018, thu Sec
opd year ofothe S'ary tho Germans at
tackled with efeat fcreetlle French for
tress OF Verdun, but were unable to re-
duce 1t. This event was followed by a
concerted drive by the French and Brit
lsh in northern France against the Ger
man lines along the Ancre and Somme
rivers.
Throughout the first two years vari-
Gus local campaigns were inaugurated
by the allies, notably for the capture
OF Constantlnople the Turks having
joined the Teutonic powers late In
1910. with an expedition in Mesopo-
tamia TO support It. The move against
the Turkish capital failed. and tho
forces were transferred TO Greece to
operate against the central powers In
| the Balkans. where the Bulgarians
were fighting for Germany.
The greatest naval battle Of the war,
fought OH Jutland in May, 1917, was
n draw. and the large vessels have not
taken decisive part in the progress of
the war In 1915 Germany started n
system of drastic submarine warfare,
primarily intended 10 blockade the
ports of her foes Bellgerent and neu-
trail alike were made to suffer in the
submarine zones throughout 1919 and
1916. and an Indirect result of Ger
mnny's naval policy was the entrance
of the United states into the war.
Grounds For Allies Optimism.
Almost ut the close of the second
year Of the world war the British
war minister, Lloyd George speak
Ing for the allies, said, Victory is
beginning to now in our direction"
1t had been flowing in all directions
whenever IL flowed at all up to that
time. So the third year Of the conflict
opened with optimism ruling In the
camps Of the allies. On the west front
at the end Of July, 1916, Il was as
surcd that the French would hold ON
Mt vcrdun, that the German line ON
the Somme and the Ancrc was not I'm.
