Paris, Oct. 15.--"War has worked a
great change in the life of the French
woman. That is to say, the life of the
average wman. the woman who had
always occupied herself with some
real interest, whether it was the home
or helping her husband TO carry on his
business or being actively associated
with some philanthropic work
Nine. Adolphe Brisson, who was
discussing the future of the French
woman and her interests after the war,
is one of the leaders of the literary
life in France, and has played an inn
portant part in the educational adj
vancement of the young women of her
country.
Nine. Brisson came into prominent
notice some years ago, when she be-
gan the publication of journal
known as Les Annales. The little
magazine devoted to the varied in
terests of women created quite stir
at the time, for up to this time women
had contented themselves with read
ing what men wrote for them and
about them. The magazine subjects
covered wide area of interest from
the literary and artistic to the things
that concerned the home and the
atelier. Today its pages are largely
devoted to discussion of war subjects,
bearing on the work of the great army
of French women engaged in war SER
vice of various sorts.
Having made a success of the mag
azine, Nine. Brisson later opened
school for girls, the first of its kind
to be established in France, where
young women could receive an cdu-
cation similar to that received now
by American girls in their colleges and
universities. In this work Nine. Bris-
son had the support of the leading
educators of France. When Nine.
Brisson speaks of the work of the
women of France she does so from
very wide knowledge of her subject.
when the war Began" said Nine.
Brisson the women of France were
not slow to adjust themselves to the
strange and new conditions of life
they were forced to meet.
1.-The French woman has always
more or less been the partner Of her
husband in business, so that when
the husband was called away to the
war the wife went right on with his
work of the little shop or factory that
they had carried on together.
MANY wounded men upon their re-
turn from the battlefields,' said Nine.
Brisson," have been happy to find
their wives successfully carrying on
the business which they dropped to
take up arms in defense of their
country. The fact that these men
had something to return to, and that
their families were not impoverished,
or dependent on charity, gave them a
new courage and a new hope for the
future"
Nine. Brisson has a son serving at
the front, and two beautiful grown
daughters. both of whom are married
to young French officers who have re-

So If the sentimental "Mother" of

tears to our homesick eyes--it's only
because we have had a REGULAR

times more wonderful than these!

Liberty Loan Primer
Bond Buying and Saving

Ono Of the most gratifying results Of
the Liberty loan campaigns to date L.
tho impetus the saving spirit is gaining
with the people in general. Most pur-
chasers Of Liberty bonds are paying for
them out Of their everyday earnings.
Comparatively few have gone into their
savings accounts 10 meet their pay
mcnts.
Savings hanks generally throughout
the country tho last year showed an
increase in savings deposits despite the
fact that something near six billions
Of dollars worth Of Liberty bonds had
boon purchased.
This same condition was experienced
In England. For instance in 1916. al
though purchasing billions Of dollars
worth Of war bonds. the small savings
dcpnsItnrSi increased their deposits more
than 100000. 900. And the EnGlishman

Tho English arc making their war
bonds permanent Investments.
America will do we'll to follow their
example.

Moreover. they arc digging nitfnll

than tho kaiser:

LACK OF FORESIGHT

The message of the Fuel Admins
trator'to the: United Mine Workers
convention treats Il grave question IN
a very inconsiderate spirit. Speaking
of the enforced five days shutdown
OF industries and consequent cessa-
ton Oh labor, he urges that employers
should sustain the enormous loss &C.
casioned BY the suspension. "a nee
essary incident OF the war to be borne
by them and not shifted to labor" he
lightly concludes. Did Or. Garfield
consider what this loss would be that
he asks the manufacturers to assume,
that is, lost wages besides what was;
to be sustained in profits, interest on
invested capital, taxes and other obi
cations According to an estimate OF
the New York Board Of Trade and
TRANSPORTATION the reduction Of out
nu. due TO this suspension is placed
at nearly $1,000. On0. 600. That IS quite
d tidy sum of money even In these
DAYS Of large figures. The loss in
wages is figured at $3.50 100000. The
remaining $54O; 100000 is distributed
among the manufacturers. Yet this
burden Dr. Garfield lightly assumes
should be- borne entirely By the manu-.
facturers and mot shifted TO labor"
Is the burden Of sacrifice to be sus-
tanned by one class alone. or Is the
patriotic spirit 10 prevail by each one
carrying his share?

JAPAN's EXPORT ACTIVITY

The recent weekly bulletin or the
Canadian Department of Trade and
Commerce indicates that Japan is
eagerly looking forward to Increased
export trade. This review calls at
tention to. the fact that twenty new
companies have been organized in the
chemical industry, operating twenty
eight factories, manufacturing chemi-
Gals OF all kinds for export trade. One
company which will produce direct
dyes for export Is being assisted by
the government A recent hearing
held by the Tariff Commission in
Pittsburgh revealed how the Japanese
were cutting in on our glass trade. one
manufacturer showing where they had
actually appropriated American de-
signs In some grades of glassware.
There persists in this county
school which asserts. that tariff
barriers are provocative Of wars. They
believe, with President Wilson. in
the removal, so far as possible, of all
economic barriers and the establish
ment OF equality of trade conditions
among all nations" 10 quote his own
words. But nothing in the world tends
so greatly to engendcr jealousy and
dislike of one nation for another as TO
see the products of the latter displac-
ing those of the former in its own
markets. That this is possible under the
policy Of free trade. or tariff.for-reVe-
nue. only, is so apparent as TO need no
proof. Our imports from Japan have
increased 140 per cent compared with
the last year under protection. They
were three and one-half times greater
in October, 1917, than in October.
1918. 1t is fair to our people. and not
unfair to Japan, that We should meet
her inferior wage scale with tariff
rates measured by the difference be-
tween her productive costs and our
own. That permits her to sell in our
market on equal terms with our own
producers.
We are the last nation in the world
to envy Japan her remarkable indus
trial expansion since the war began.
We placed the feet Of Japan on the
broad highway Of trade empire IN
1886. But il we would be just to our
own industries and to our own labor
ing men we must see to it that Japan
csc competition shall not interfere
with the industries Of this country or
the wages of our people, and the best
preventive of that is return to the
Republican protective policy.

REVISED FOOD ORDERS

As The Intelugencer predicted the

outer edge Of the conservation OF our
food resources. the Presidents procla-
NATION in appeal for further econo-
mics in our diet verifies the sugges-
ton that was made at that time that
additional sacrifices Of appetite would
be required Of US. When we read OF
the skimp allowances Of food that
prevail in those nations that so far
have been doing our fighting for US It
IA little that We are asked to forego
that they may be sustained in their
struggle, and that our own troops
who are now at the front shall not
suffer for the actual necessities In the
food line.
Some OF the restrictions in the use
OF foods are enforceable under the
law, but much of the success Of the
movement depends on the individual
willingness TO abstain from the con-
sumption OF such articles as are listed

things are wheat -four and meats.
