A CALL FOR LARGER HUMAN
ITARIAN COOPERATION
ADDRESSED TO JEWISH
WOMEN.

y
WOMEN.
A remarkable awakening to the
care and service of all the elements
of our social structure is attending
the war. 1t seems as though the
consciousness of the needs or the
last few decades were pushing up
ward and taking on form aid e-<-
preston. A vi gorous endeavor to
meet these human needs, al: &C
tive responsibility to keep tt: ma
ton intact from the bottom up, is
everywhere evident.
Organizations which existed more
or less independently heretofore
find themselves suddenly confronted
by the necessity to cooperate with
more inclusive non-sectarian bodies
These large community groups
have power for several reasons.
First of all, their size and the diver
sity of the elements composing them
constitute maximum of weight, for
they represent a considerable por-
ton of the sum total of public opin
ion Capable, influential men and
women direct the organization of
such bodies as the Red Cross and
the Council of National Defense.
Their various committees often COM
bine with departments of the fed
eral government such as the United
States Department of Labor and the
United States Department of Educa
ton. They possess organization and
influence and the ability to raise
money sufficient to open avenues of
opportunity for any affiliated group
and to supply paid or volunteer
trained assistants for the various
branches of work.
An officer of the National Coun-
Gil of Jewish Women stated recent
ly that practically every section is
confronted by the request to join
large civic bodies. 1t is question
of adjustment in every case. The
National Council of Defense has
taken over preventive health work
for children and mothers; questions
of employment and home conditions
for women; fitting healthful re-
creation and occupation for growing
boys and girls-exactly the kind of
work that the Council of Jewish
Women has been doing in one form

THE MAKING OF
4 FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making Of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil aud tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as q final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination OF
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in it's preparation
which has made this famous medicine
SO successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

Paris, Sunday, Dec. 8.-Elaborate
plans are being made by the French
government for the entertainment of
President Wilson. These plans include
various state dinners and official calls
and probably a gala night at the opera.
The program will be completed in the
next few days.
1t has beer decided that President
Wilson upon his arrival at the Bots De
Boulogne station Saturday will be met
by President Poincare and other gov
eminent officials. He will then go i'm
mediately to the Murat Mansion, which
will be his home while he is In Paris.
No definite decision has been reached
as to what the president will do on
his Sunday, but it is probable he will
drive about Paris. Mr.. Wilson'S drive
on Monday to the Hotel DeVille will be
an occasion of considerable ceremony.
To Meet House.
AS soon as possible after his arrival
Mr.. Wilson will confer with Col. E, NJ.
House.
The school children Of Paris will be
out in force when the president arrives.
Thursday is usually a school holiday in
Paris.
Virtually all the mercantile estab-
lishments in Paris have notified their
employees that next Saturday will be a
full holiday. 1t is expected to be q
larger celebration than any before seen
in Paris. The socialists are taking a
great interest in the occasion Of Mr..
Wilson's visit.

HEALTH RECORD Of
NAVY IS DETAILED
Surgeon General Attributes Low
Mortality to Study of
Hygiene and SAM
tatiOn.
By Associated Press.

Washington, D.. c., Dec. 10.-The
navy's excellent health and low NOR
tally rate during the war is attributed
by Rear Admiral Braisted. surgeon
general of the navy in his annual report
today largely to the increasing appre-
citation by the commanding officers of
the rules of hygiene and sanitation.
Where defects in the health system
nave developed, he says, the blame falls
largely on the country's unpreparedness
for operations Of such magnitude.
Compared with an annual rate of 81
per 1000 for the 10 preceding years,
the rate rose during the first quarter
This, DR.. BREASTED finds was due to the
unavailable circumstances brought
about by The rapid expansion of the
navy and the u%nusua weather condi-
tons. in the first quarter OF the year.
The death rate for the second quarter
was only 3.3.
The Death Record.
During the year 1913 men were
drowned, 80 died from exposure and Al
We're killed by gunshot wounds
The war has served. DR.. BREASTED
says, to clear the regulations of the
men Of the army and navy of the i'm
preston in the public mind that dis
eases due to social evils were more
prevalent in the service thai outside.
Service doctors have contended all
along, he adds, that the ratio stood
three to two in favor Of the trained
service men and statistics compiled by
the provost marshal general in the
first draft support them.

NAVAL DEFENSE

Article Supports League Of
Nations With Sea Suprem-
acy Left With British.

Exists.
TO DEMAND RECOGNITION
By Associated Press.

London, Dec. 10.-Great Britain will
use all her influence to make the
league of nations a powerful reality,
but she cannot regard it as a substi-
tute for her own navy in any measure
able period Of time, Winston Spencer
Churchill, the minister of munitions.
declared in an article contributed to
the Glasgow Sunday Post.
In his article Mr.. Churchill speaks of
Great Britain's unique position among
the nations Of the world.
Our safety from invasion, u
daily bread, every means whereby we
maintain u existence as an independ-
ent people; our unity as an empire or
federation Of commonwealth and de-
pendencies-al1 these float from hour
to hour upon our naval defenses,~ MI.
Churchill writes.
IF that defense is neglected. weak
ened Or fettered," he continues, I'VE
shall be In continued danger of sub
jugation Of starvation. We should be
forced to live in continued anxiety. If
that naval defense were overpowered
or outmatched by any other navy, or
probably by a combination of navies.
we should hold not merely u pos
sessions but our lives and liberties only
on suffrance.
No Parallel Appears.
Where else in the whole world can
such conditions be paralleled? We
nave the right to demand from all other,
nations, friends and foes alike, full rec
ognition of those facts. We are also
entitled to point out that this naval
strength that we require and which
we are determined to preserve has
never been used in modern history In
a selfish and aggressive manner.
I'm this greatest of all wars the Brit
ish navy shielded mighty America from
all menace Of serious danger, and when
she resolved to act it was the British
navy that transported and escorted the
greater portion Of her armies to the
rescue and deliverance of France. Our
record in 100 years Of unquestioned
naval sway, since Trafalgar proved the
sobriety Of our policy and the right
of u intentions.
Advocates League.
I'VE are sincere advocates Of a league
Of nations. Every influence Britain
can bring to bear will be used to make
such a league a powerful reality. This
fine conception of President Wilson has
been warmly welcomed by British de-
m%ocracies all over the world. We shall
strive faithfully and loyalty to carry
it into being and bring it into active
effect and existence. We must state
quite frankly that a league of nations
cannot be for us a substitute for the
British navy in any period that we can
foresee."

PREFER ENEMIES
TO THE RED FLAG
German Government Heads
Manipulate Press to Impress
President With Danger
of B0Ishevism.
LONDON TIMES CABLE SERVICE.
BY He rbert Bailey.

The Hague, Dec. 10.-Many Dutch
men, who come from Germany, tell that
the Germans are disgusted with their
own press, which consistently lied to
them throughout the war and as a re-
suit they are unable to feel confidence
! n 1t any more. At present, IL one were
to take the German at
their face value, might believe that
everything was going swimmingly for
the government; that the national as
sembly was held In almost harmony,
and that complete harmony existed
between hi soldiers and working
mems councils and the government.
The very unamity Of these representa-
lions make them suspicious of these
same papers,. which two months ago
could not find anything more proper
than to represent the German position,
especially the food situation, in it's
rosiest light, now paint 1t blacker day
by day. This kind of talk is printed
with the mechanical reiteration OF the
professional beggar and in a definite
direction to- America, concerning whose
democracy and readiness for peace
scorn was for years uttered. Doctor
Solf especially performs this special
trick, permitting it to come out in the
morning and the afternoon and evening
notes, to impress President Wilson OF
b danger Of bolshevfsm.
His intention Isl clear. The govern
rnent socialists have reached the stand
point that bolsheyism must be pre-
vented at all costs, if not otherwise
then by summoning an enemy country.
Solf, Erzberger. Scheidemann. Ebert,
and others, would not have anything
against "foreigners'' coming in for the
purpose Of abolishing the red flag.

Paris, Dec. 10.-Peace delegates Of
all the powers are expected to reach
Paris by the end of this week. The
date for opening the interallied prclim-
mary conferences, however. will not be
set until after President Wilson ar
rives.
Paris is becoming more congested
every hour. All hotels are filled to
capacity n cots have been put up in
bath rooms, corridors and store rooms.
Prices of everything are skyrocketing.
The aspect Of the entire city has
changed within a fortnight from war
to peace. Stores are displaying big
electric signs for the first time in four
years. Shop windows are showing
more civilian and less military apparel.
New theaters are opening throughout
the city. The reviving taxicabs are at
a premium and the subway is con-
stantly crowded.
Paris Near Panic.
Owing to this great influx Of people,
the greatest in the city's history, Paris
is almost on the verge of a panic.
The authorities are trying to en-
tangle the worst cable congestion on
record. The mechanical problem OF
getting news of the peace conference
to America is ~stupendous. The housing
Of hundreds of correspondents and
other Americans is also p~erpleXing. 1t
is likely that some building will be
rented and cots put in to serve as
sleeping quarters for them.
