Women Floor Walkers.

One of the largest department
stores in Portland, Ore, has beer
forced to inaugurate a system of wo-
men floor walkers to replsbe the men
who have answered the ~call 70 the

follow suit. Many women clerks are
admirably adapted to serve as floor
walkers, since they are familiar with
the details of department stores as

New York to Enroll Women.


The adjutant general of New York
announced that the government OF
the state will begin taking military
census of all men and women between
the ages of sixteen and sixty-four.
The census will start May 1, and it is
expected will be completed by May Is
Women for military duty will knock
galley-west the arguments of the anti
quated anti-suffragists whose stock
contention was that women should
not vote because they could not serve
the country in the time of war, and
consequently the ballot goes with the
bullet. In this century women not
only serve the country, but actually
make the bullets needed for the safe
guarding of the land. Were the wo-
mems services to be withheld, no
country could defend itself.

DUTCH SOCIALISTS
AGAINST PEACE
Unwise Policy for the
Netherlands, Says For
eign Minister

The Hague. Jan. 25.-In the course
Of a debate in the Chamber to-day on
President Wilson's address to the SEN
ate, several Socialists declared against
an enforcement of peace. Jonkheer
Alexander Frederick de Savornin Lob
man, the aged Calvinist leader, how
ever, delivered an enthusiastic eulogy
of President Wilson. He said it was
wrong to dismiss President Wilson's
aims as Utopian, and appealed TO Hol-
land to support the President TO the
fullest extent of its power.
Jonkheer Loudon, the Foreign Minis
ter. while refraining from q direct
declaration on the question, said that,
without wishing to give a decision, he
nevertheless was of the opinion that it
would be an unwise policy for the
Netherlands TO bind. herself to exercise
economic or military compulsion with
view to the enforcement of peace.
The Dutch newspapers mainly con-
fine themselves to reproducing Ameri-
can and European comment on Presi-
dent Wilson's speech. The "Nieuwe
Courant" sees in the speech hint
from the President mat America is in
a position TO exercise pressure on the
belligerents TO arrive AT peace, pressure
which would affect primarily the En-
tente, as it obtains munitions from
North America and provisions from
South America.
Berne (via Psris), Jan. 25.-Great
reserve was maintained in official cir
cles in regard to President Wilson's
speech, which came as a complete sur
prise, following his first note, to which
the Federal Council gave its support.
The Germanophile newspaper. the "Zu-
rich Post" welcomes President VIII
sons views on the freedom of the seas.
but rejects his conception of the ques-
ton of nationalities and territorial set
Element. 1t holds that these questions
must be left to the belligerents TO set
tie in proportion to their sacrifices.
The "Basler Nachrichten" says the
tone Of the speech suggests the prophe-
cies Of Isaiah. Nevertheless, it con-
siders that President Wilson's declara-
tions amount TO an engagement, and
that they imply American Intervention
in the event of the neutrality of an
other country being violated.

Ottawa. Jan. 25.-The peace proposals
Of President Wilson were criticised
in the Canadian Senate to-day by SEN
ator Pope. who represents one of the
Fnelish-speaking districts of the Prov
inee Of Quebec and who has been a
member Of Parliament for many years.
Senator Pope offered a resolution
providing that ain the opinion of the

Of nations which have taken part or
have been engaged in the present war
should participate in the negotiations
for peace" &C.,
Never before had any English colony

which Canada was making to-day, he
declared Observing, that representa-
lives Of nations which had not seen INT

taking the liberty of making sugges-
tons as 10 the terms of settlement OF
the conflict, he said he thought IT
proper that Canada, which was sharing

because we love peace and believe that
only By fighting for it can we obtain
peace; in the third place. because we
are British, and believe that Britain en-

that she was right when she went to
battle"
The President Of the United States,
he said, had Just declared to the wor ID
that there should be peace without vic

seemed absurd, and il would appear
that President Wilson thought he still

rather than speaking to grown men in

Sees u. S.-Canada Rivalry
The Americans were a far-sighted
people, he continued. They knew the
part Canada had taken in the war
would have the effect of promoting
Canada to a place of greater impor-
lance among the nations Of the world.
They realized. he said, that after the
war Canada would be accorded a pre-
ferred place in trade. sentimentally at
least, by the great Allied nations which
rad fought the war; that where two
boxes of goods were offered for sale,

the other the name of the United
States, the Canadian box would be pre-

Senator Pope declared that the time
had not yet come for peace, as proper
terms could not yet be obtained.
Debate on the resolution was ad-

of peace discussions were expressed
to-day by Major General f. B. Maurice,
chief director of military operations
AZ the War Office, who declared the
position of Great Britain was closely
analogous to that Of the Federal States
in the American Civil War at its most
critical phase, inasmuch as the Brit
ish, like the North, possessed three
great points of superiority-the block

wealth. General Maurice said:

GAY STATE FLAG FOR
 FIRST ARIZONA REG.

Governor Campbell went to Naco on Monday to present the state flag to the First Arizona Regiment. This is the flag whose design was adopted by the legislature. The design was sent to a Philadelphia firm engaged in the manufacture of flags and banners.
 It is of standard size and will prob ably be, so far as colors are concerned, the gayest flag to be seen on the French front or any front where the First Arizona may be stationed. The colors are red, yellow and blue, the lower half of the flag being a blue field, the upper part consisting of ra- diating streamers of yellow and red, the yellow being symbolical of the golden treasures of Arizona. A great copper star is imposed upon the cen- ter of the flag. The flag is ordered with heavy golden fringe.
 The flag is gift to the regiment of the Daughters of the American Revo- lution. The funds were collected from citizens of Phoenix by Mrs. c. F. Ainsworth of the chapter.
