FEMALE ENEMY ALIENS
 BARRED FROM MILE ZONE

On the 5th of this month the United States Attorney General promulgated an order effective that date making a zone one mile in all direction from any fertilization, arsenal, camp, aircraft station, government, or naval vessel, navy yard, factories, or workshops for the manufacture of munitions of war, prohibited to any female enemy aliens. The order is issued for the purpose of shutting out these women from entry to all prohibited places the same as the original order prohibited the male enemy alien. Women have had access to places where millions of dollars of damage might have been done and now it is believed that the time has come when they should be barred.

ENGLAND RELEASES TEN THOUSAND SOLDIERS FOR
 WORK IN COAL MINES

England has at last realized that there is a growing necessity for min CTS and has released ten thousand men for work in the mines at home. The mines have been depleted of wig orous workers on account of the neces- sity for them at the front but now that America is supplying the lack of soldier boys it is found necessary to produce larger tonnage of coal and iron that everything can be kept on the move this winter. The United States saw the necessity for miners and men in every essentialemployment and made provision for them, reliev- ing them of the draft. All railroad men today are being asked to apply for exemption that they may continue in their regular employment and make possible the movement of freight with out congestion. Even though Europe has been tied up in the fight and has learned many things the United States was more farseeing than them all and began conservation of labor as we'll as food stuffs and are getting the bene- | fit

There is Just possibility that now Bulgaria is
virtually "out of the war" Serbia may be somewhat
overlooked; but such must not be the case. Serbia
was not only of the earliest countries to meet
the devastating onrush of the central powers, but
she has been even greater sufferer than Belgium.
When the Germans driven cut OF Belgium
there will still be a population with which to re
establish the nation but with Serbia the outlook is
dark Virtually every Serbian of military age has
been either killed, imprisoned or forced to flee;
the prisoners taken suffered such inhuman treat
ment at the hands of their captors that they died
by the thousands and the women and children were
carried off into slavery cruel that knows
how many survive today. nation cannot be re-
constructed on the basis of such of its aged and
infirm as survive.
The one hope for Serbia's future population, is
the nucleus Of the gallant army which has fought
its way to Kumanovo. Serbia has rightly earned the
title of suffering nation she receive
generous recognition and liberal treatment when the
day of final settlement comes. 1t will doubtless be

remain the true and dominant representative of the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
PLAYING With Tuberculosis.

A boy 10 years old in our neigh
borhood has tuberculosis OF one
kidney. He is up and around. and
plays with our children. Is there
any danger for our children? OF
course the boy does not cough, nor
does he look very sick. Can the
germs be carried in any way out
doors? MRS. G. B. r.
Answer-No danger if the boy :
doctor tells you the boy has no ac-
tive tuberculosis of the lung.
Scarietina Same as Scarlet Fever.
Please tell me whether scarle-
tina is the very same as scarlet
fever. My boy had scarletina wher
a baby Is he likely to catch scar
let fever if exposed to it?
MRS. s.
Answer-Scarlet fever, scarletina
and scarlet rash are different
names for the same disease. A boy
who has had scarlet fever is not
likely to have it a second time, no
matter what name is applied. How
ever. a second attack sometimes Oc-
ours, and when such evasive dag
noses as "scarletina" and scarlet
rash" are applied there is doubt of
the doctors diagnosis in the first
attack, so the boy should be pro-
tected from exposure to the dis
ease. A great many of us have
never had scarlet fever, though eX-
posed frequently in practice.

Lorraine.

Germany to have declared war upon the world with
out Lorraine" Such the statement of Marcel
Knecht member of the French high commission,
before the American Society of Mechanical Engi-
neers.
The iron and steel from the prolific mines of the
fair French provinces have been the main source of
Germany's supply since the 1871. and further"
adds Mr. Knight, when this province and that of
Alsace are restored to France, Germany will be so
seriously handicapped to make it a matter of i'm
possibility for her to go to war again.
Let hope such prediction will prove true

Coming TO a Climax.

All of todays news coming from Europe is G.
most encouraging nature American and British
troops have broken through the German lines be-
tween St Quentin and Cambria and are rushing
through the breach made-like the sea through
shattered dyke
Then there is the rumor which appears to have
gained credence in Sweden that the kaiser has alb
dicated or is about TO do so. And added to these
happy tidings is the information that Austria is
setting her house in order ostensibly 10 accept
President wilson's terms OF peace.
Such a combination of events can only point in
one direction and that most assuredly is the speedy
end Of the world war. when peace shall reign after
justice is established.
Pending, however. the last act which may be pro
Ionged let US not lapse into condition which says
there is nothing more to be done The Liberty loan
must be oversubscriBed and every proposal Of the
administration strictly adhered to-

Mrs. Maxim is certainly an attrac-
