ELECTRIC }; WORK
 LATEST CHANCE
 OPEN TO WOMEN

Enrolment of women in engineer ing departments of American univer- sities and colleges, reflects the chang ing demand for women in industry. At the Kansas State Agricultural Col lege, there are 15O women studying to become electrical engineers. Clarence Reid, professor of electrical engineer ing at the Kansas Agricultural Col lege, says:
 Women are being employed as power plant operators in the large central stations of Europe, and have been found entirely satisfactory. None of the machinery in these stations is operated by hand, but is all controlled by various forms of electric motors set into operation by the touch of 9 button or by electric magnets or air pressure, or controlled in some man. ner so that physical strength is nos at all necessary. Work of this kind is far less exhausting than many forms of work in which women are now engaged, for central station oper- ators may use seats and have more variety of movement in their work.
 Desirable qualifications for enter ing upon engineering study comprises ability in mathematics and interest in scientific study"

HOUSE THAT JACK
 BUILT REVERSED"
 SAYS R. R. OFFICER

New York, Jan. 1S-ln q statement yesterday detailing the plight of the railroads and the expected relief which the federal fuel order should bring in clearing freight. congestion, A. H. Smith, assistant director general of railroads, said that fueling of 100 or more ships held in New York har- bor for lack of bunker coal would have a far reaching effect on the gen. eral situation.
 When fdelled," he said, they will take cargo which in turn releases freight which is held back in cars on piers, in yards and on side tracks congesting operations. It is the story of the house that Jack built revers- ed. This is the coal that fuels the ship that took the freight that cleared the space that released the freight from the cars in the yards that blocked the road"

DeFOREST NAMED
 PUBLIC DEFENDER
 FOR NEXT TERM

Judge John P Kellogg, who will preside over the February term of the Superior court in this city, has named Attorney Robert G. DeForest las the public defender for the term. This is the third term in that office for DeForest, who has made an ex- cellent record in the two terms he has officiated, and gained the approbstion not only of his clients, but of the court as well.
 In many cases where guilt was ad- mitted he has. been instrumental in gaining light sentences, and in the few cases which went to trial before a jury he has been very successful. He has been especially complimented, for his work in behalf of William Roberts of stratford, wlfo was tried for murder in the first degree, but only convicted of a second degree crime Attorney DeForest will at once take up his preparatory work.

ALIENS WAVING
 CLAIMS ARE SENT
 TO CAMP DEVENS

Several registered men, aliens, who failed to receive their notices to ap- pear for examination for the first draft, called at the Third Division board headquarters yesterday, waived any claim as aliens, and have been sent to Camp .Devens. They are John Shea, Walter A. Mehlig, A. T. Desa- rio, Joseph Westefeno, and Nicholas Dirinascoff. They were provided with sweaters and comfort kits before they left.
 Classification of men who answered the questionnaires has been practi- caIly completed, and cards are being mailed to all who answered. Some men who are exempted from general military service on account of physi- cal disabilities may be drawn for ser vice in less exacting occupations, ac- cording to their ability, thus relieving fully qualified. men from service be- hind the lines.

1ty that the pan n-Germans will be vic- torious.)
 Anti-Bolshevik parties in Russia, according to a Daily News" Petro- grad dispatch, are using the creation of volunteer army by the Bolshevik as the basis of an energetic agitation to turn the Petrograd garrison against the Lenine government.
 Efforts also are being made to start street demonstrations in favor of the Constituent Assembly. If the efforts are successful, the dispatch adds, the result will be anarchy, than which the Germans could wish nothing better. l The Constituent Assembly is to meet Friday. It seems probable it will contain a majority against the Bolsheviki and will try to replace them by another government. Such a government, the Daily News cor respondent says, would be infinitely less dangerous as an antagonist of Germany than the present one.
 The correspondent, in reiterating his defense of Foreign Minister Trot- zky and in deploring the fact that the 1 Entente allies have not joined in the Brest-Litocsk negotiations, says that the first real help given Trotzky in the struggle is the message of President | Wilson, which is also described as 'the first allied utterance that shows an imaginative understanding of the sit- uation."
 France has loaned the Ukraine D. 100000 rubles in gold, according to a dispatch from the Times Odessa correspondent dated rFiday. The French mint also has printed a large quantity of Ukraine paper money. Gen. Vinnichcnko, president of the Ukraine secretariat, it is added, in the course of long report to the Rada, declared France, the United States, Great Britain, Belgium and Rouman- ia were interested greatly in the or Ranization of the Ukraine republic, He added:
 "As circumspect people they hesi- tate to recognize the republic com lpletely, but when they find it expedi- ent they will extend us their hands, which we will accept if we think it necessary
 Gen. Vinnichenko described the Ukraine as an oasis of order and con- Istitutional policy, saying:
 | "One constantly hears that thG re- generation of the Muscovite monarchy is impossible, and therefore perhaps the Ukraine will appear also as an oasis of revolutionary conquest"
 The Times correspondent says the feeling of Roumanians toward the Russians is embittered greatly. The IRoumanians feel they have been thrice betrayed by the czar, next by the provisional government, and now, worst of all, by the Bolsheviki.

MOST OLD PEOPLE
 ARE CONSTIPATED

The wear of years irnpairs the action of the bowels. As people grow older they restrict their ac- tivity, neglect to take sufficient ex- ercise, and indulge natural dispo- sition to take things easy. The digestive organs become more sen sitive to the demands made upon them and rebel more quickly.
 It is of special importance to the health of elderly people that the bowels be kept normally active. A mild, yet effective, remedy for con- stipation, and one that is especially suited to the needs of old folks, women and children. is the com bination of simple laxative herbs with pepein sold in drug stores un- der the name of Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. It costs only fifty cents a bottle, and should be in every family medicine chest. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to pr. W. B. Caldwell. 456 Washington St., Mon ticello.

Amsterdam, Jan. 1.-The Russo parent1y deadlocked again. according to dispatches received from Brest-Li- tovsk. via Berlin.
 Following Gen. Hoffman's categor- ical refusal for the central powers to evacuate Courland, Lthuania and Riga, for technical administrative reasons, the entire peace sitting ad- journed. The date for possible re- sumption was not fixed.
 The discussions on Friday were close to acrimonious. Russian Foreign Minister Trotzsl1y refused to admit as part of the peace agreement the state ment Resolved, we will hereafter live in peace and friendship,
 The Germans declared that com plete evacuation by their troops could only follow the Russian demobiliza- tion, because, owing to the change in the Russian governmental system, the Russians might suddenly assume the offensive"
 In addition, German Foreign Minis ter Kuehlmann declared the question of evacuation applied only to regions of Russia which are still part of the states actually negotiating at Brest- Litovsk-carrying out the previous German stand as to the Courland, Es- thonia, Livonia and Poland.
 Later in the proceedings Foreign Minister Trotsky demanded to know why there were no representatives of the people present, and suggested they be invited. Czernin and Kuehlmann postponed discyssion of the invitation until later.
 Control of the destfnies of the Ger man empire, press accounts from neu- tral countries agree, is passing into the hands of the militarists or annexa- tiCnists. The Socialist 'tVorwaerts' believes a military dictatorship is in the making.
 Chancellor von Hertling is reported i'll and preparing to resign, while the militartsts and pan-Germans are de- manding the dismissal of Foreign Sec retary von Kuehlmann.
 It is reported from Berlin that Won Hertling's address before the Reich stag's main committee has been post poned. It was said previously that the chancellor would answer the recent war aims statement of President Will son and Premier Lloyd George.
 The German emperor and the crowr prince have been holding conferences with the political and military leaders and the German ministers to Den mark and Holland have arrived unex- pectedly in Berlin. Indications are that the present turmoil within the German ruling class will result in the acceptance of firm policy, either ia vurfng the militarists or the more peaceful element, with the probabil-

Stupidity in Preparing Shipments to France Is
 Indicated in Testimony

Washington. February 17.-(Spc- cial)-Stupidity in preparing ship ments for the American expedition- ary force in France has contributed to congestion, according to testimony of Gen. William Black, chief of engi- neers
 General Black spoke specifically of a large shipment of billings, neces- sary in preparing piers for the re- ceDtion of freight General Pershing ordered pilings of 70 feet When they were prepared it was found that the boat awaiting them could not accom- modate pjlings of greater length than 50 feet So the 70-foot billings were cut in halves and the halves shipped. Of course they were useless.
 In connection with shipments Mai. Bradley Dewey of the medical depart nlent declares that 10000 gas masks. prepared and sent to France, were found to be so inferior that they were discarded and loans from England ne- got1ated
