The German socialists have not taken
kindly to the German governments
attitude toward President Wilson's
last peace message. During the de-
bate in the reichstag on Won Hertling's
speech Philip Scheidemann, socialist,
took the emperor to task for his reply
to the address Of the burgomaster Of
Hamburg, In which the emperor said !:
"We desire to live In friendship with
neighboring peoples, but victory for
the German arms must first be rec
ognized."
"The imperial chancellor frankly
stated yesterday that he accepted
President Wilson's four principles" /"
said Scheidemann. "This declaration
Is all the more important when one
considers that President Wilson en-
phasized that his principles were ac-
cepted everywhere except by the Ger
man military and annexationist party.
Well, this party, fortunately. is in this
country no longer of decisive impor.
tance."

sonable basis offered by the allies, II
II were possible for her to do so, but
she Is so dominated by German influ-
ence that 1t is hardly possible for her
to break away. The hold of Germany
Is maintained through the Austrian
army which has been very largely Ger
manized since the war began.
So 1t Is believed that Austria will
have to remain in her unholy partner
ship despite her war WEAKNESS. She
has lost 100000 men, her food situ-
alton is desperate, and the future,
even If Germany could win. Is dark
for her, for a greater Germany would
only mean a more impotent Austria.

must continue In the war under pain
Of being stamped on by the nation

toward the American effort to widen

Wanted: Supervising Mothers

just as in Chicago plenty of volun-

OF volunteers to act as supervising
mothers or maiden aunts to children

hurt the little ones, could do about all
there was necessary.

may go to the front. But what happens
to the women's own work?
A man whose children are over twelve
may claim no exemption, and every one
knows that the average child of twelve
is not self-supporting, nor ought he to
be; that youngsters from twelve to six
teen need looking after as much as at
any period in their lives. Also, as usual,
the money value of woman's work in
her own home is rated at zero. If she
can supply the mans place in the fac.
tory and draw the mans pay it is con-
sidered as if a hitherto productive
member of society had suddenly become
productive! While the actual fact is that
she is withdrawn from one industry and
placed in another. And who supplies
the place in her own?
That's the question.
1t has been answered, as / said. in
every belligerent country by an appal-
ling increase in juvenile delinquency.

answer the question in our own country.

The Women's War Tax
On Strength and Spirits

Upon hundreds of women war has laid
a fearfully heavy burden. There is the
steady weight of money anxiety, for sal
aries do not cover the excessive cost Of
every necessary article. If the mother is
away from home childish marketing and
childish managing greatly increase the
necessary cost of housekeeping Eviction,
which some day will seem as cruel to US
as imprisonment for debt, is still allowed.
Thus the working woman has three
fold anXlety-that of how to make the
ends meet, anxiety for the welfare of
her husband or son at the front and
anxiety for the welfare of the children
in her care, which is seriously leopard
lied by her enforced neglect. Also she
has with home duties before work and
after work. laboring day of about
eighteen hours.
That women not so heavily burdened
should shoulder some Of this dispropor-
tionate weight is not charity, not philan
thropy, but the merest social Justice.
And the most pressing necessity is the
care of the children.
If Mother Knickerbocker can see to it
