Prominent Woman Worker
Says American Women
Must Quit Being
Parasites

Mrs. Frank \. Vanderiip CT New
York City. treasurer OF the National
Woman's Liberty Lean Committee, is
urging upon the women of America
definite and consistent war service.
In recent interview she said:
American women must quit being
parasites and learn to give instead OF
always taking An hour or two a
few days a week is not enough for
any woman TO give her country. We
must give a full business day. an s.
hour day every day OF the week If We
are to count for anything while the
var lasts.
Mrs. Vanderlip outlined the splen-
did work which has been done by the
women of Great Britain and France
and congratulated American women
on having as their allies in their new
work such women.
II We ever have another war,
said Mrs. Yaldeslip. women will be
in the trenches. What do the pa
c.fsts mean when they want Us 10
stop before orr present job is done?
There is but one standard for
measuring woman in this new day
Of war. That is dependability. The
woman who can be depended upon IS
the one we want. The one who can
not be counted upon is the one who
VIII be dropped forever. y profes-
sional spirit is the need OF Amerl-
can women. who have been parasitic
FOR TOO long. We must stop taking
and give. Eight hours a day is a
short day for this great wort- we have
laf9re lis. Two or three hours day
~ the Red Cross is not enough for
any woman 10 give as her war work.
We must get as our personal point
nf view the realization that We can
rot have our cake and eat il too. We
must ask ourselves, in this war OF
a,nira9eUt rather than men, who must
% without ii we have the things we
have been accustomed TO. Business
and Measure cannot so on as usual Il
wa are successfully to conduct this
tremendous new business OF war.
eve have forgotten, when We are
huying new clothes and eating the
wheat and sweets that We want ano
riding in our motor cars, that We are
harlnering the Government. We are
standing in the way of the Govern
n,ant's business which is war.

MORE FARMERS

fore is great benefactOr Of man

ing SO, when we think in multi.
pies Of tens. hundreds and thou

ton is the bringing of greater
agricultural areas under cultiva-
tioa, for the increased produc-
ton of all kinds Of food pro-
ducts?
In any section, increase in pro
duction is best accom- plished
when two farmers are encour-
aged to establishing where only
one was before: in other words.
Fif we can get two farmers 10 each

and work these forties intensive

perfectly organized Colonization
and Industrial Bureau, the pur :
pose of which is to multiply ag-
riculturat and industrial units as
rapidly and as effectively as pos
sible. To bet accomplish this
purpose, it needs the whole
hearted and general support of
the public: of farmers already
happily established in Union Pa
cifc System territory, of dwell
ers in towns and cities. Of trav-
ellers aad anyone who has the
well-being of the country and its
citizens genuinely at heart, and
who, with a modicum of common
foresight could fail to have such
interest?
Cooperation for the increased
population of agricultural Sec
tons can be accomplished in ma
ny ways:
Ifyou are established as an ag'
riculturist in Oregon Short Line
territory. and you personally
know Of good acreage in your
vicinity available for purchase
or settlement, write US and tel
us all about it. II you have
friends in the east who are agri
culturists but who desire tc
change their locations, and yor
cannot evactly convince them OF
the advantages of making the
change let us have their name:
and addresses; maybe we cal
help them to a favorable Location
The same cooperation may b'
accomplished by city or towr
residents or any one.
One of the difficulties of tint
acreage farmer in seeking a lcca
, ton is TO know exactly where h.
can secure the kind OF farm h,
wants, either for purchase o
settlement. People on the grount
know lest about local opportuni
ties.

.LENROOT WINS BY

Wisconsin Proves Loyalty in Senatorial Election When
 Berger Runs 35,O00 Votes Behind Defeated Democrat.
cRv Review I.eased wirel

WAUKEE, Wis. April 3.-COn gressman Irvine L. LenrOot, republi can. of Superior. has been elected United States Senator to succeed the late Paul O. Husting.
 He defeated Joseph E. Davies, dem ocrat. in yesterdays election. accord ing to incomplete returns. by ma jority estimated at more than 10000 Viotor l.. Berger. socialist ran third, approximately 35.0OO behind Davies, from the figures at hand
 Similar returns indicate the re-elec- tiOn of Marvin B. ROsenberry. justice of the supreme court. over Charles CrOwnhart. by more than 10000. Both ran as non-partisians
 The precincts still 10 report will il is expected, increase all the winners leads.
 In the republican counties. where tho nacifist following is strong. the republicans who voted for HustinS in 1914 appear to have given their sup port to LenrCOt this year One of the reasons for decreases in the Davies vote it was believed. was that in Ger man counties. normally democratic voters switched 10 Berger and in some eases to LenrOOt The approximate vote indicated by returns received up to tonight gave LenrOOt 143.O00. Dav- ies. 133.O00 and Berger. 97.00O. Com plete returns may swell each total considerably
 Tn 1914. when Hustins. democrat. was elected. he received 134.S25: Mo Govern. republican. 1S3969: and Sci. del. socialist. 29,774
 It will be several days before the official vote can be announced from the secretary of states office. The soldier vote is not expected to alto; the situation materially.
 Mayor Daniel w. HOan. socialist. was reelected in Milwaukee by about 2500 over Percy Braman. nOn-partis- ian. However. the balance of the city ticket went to the non-partisan can didates. As at present. the common council will remain politically as be- fora. with 19 non-partisans and 12 socialists, according to available re- turns.

GERMANS USED HALF OF ARMY
General Maurice Declares a
 New Prussian Thrust May Be Expected as Enemy Is Able to Move Up Supplies.
0Rv Review Leased Wire,

LONDON, April 3.-There is no question but that the German losses in the last fortnight have been very considerably heavier than ours" said General Maurice today.
 At present the enemy is engaged in an effort to reduce the congestion in the newly occupied territory His army is in two main masses, divided by the Somme
 Tn the German attack they equip ped the men with rations for several days and sent them to the front to last as long as they could on those rations. regardless of transport They then replaced them with divisions from the rear. similarly equipped. with rations. That device is now at an end, and the army must move up supplies.
 "A great number of Gelrman di- visions are exhausted and must be moved back to the depots and be re- placed with fresh divisions from other parts of the front The Germans thus far have used only about half of their available divisions and there is no reasc7 to suppose that they are done with the attack.
 Their line of thought must natural ly be: we broke through the enemy's well prepared line in a week. and he is now in improvised defense: if we get un fresh troops and artillery there is no reason why we should not repeat the process"
 That is what we nave to expect on the west front in the immediate future"

GOVERNMENT GIVES. CENSORSHIP RULES
Cable Dispatches Will Refer to Units by Numbers and Not as From States; Many Reg uIations Cited.
cRv Review Leased WIrel

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. April 3.-The following are the nest important provisions of the new censorship regulations which be- came effective today:
 Tt is the policy that all information not helpful to the enemy may be given the public The basic principle re quires that all articles must meet these four conditions:
 "Fi-st-They must be accurate in statement and implication.
 Second-They must not supply mil itary information to the enemy.
 "ThiId-TheH must rot iniure the. morale of our forces here or at home, or among our allies.
 "FOurth-They must not embarrass the United States or her allies in neu- tral countries.
 The foregoing conditions apply to every article written. The specific rules which follow are intended to eN- plain them. but never to be conside-- ed 1s permitting the publication of anything which conflicts with those four conditions.
 There will never be Identification by number or organization.
 "Concerning troops in the line iden- tification will be only as announced in the official cOmmunique.
 Concerning troops in training there will be no identificatiOns by sections. such as New York troops and Ohio troops in cable dispatches.
 Reference cannot be made to troops of the national guard or the national army CT regular organizations During this war we have only one army, the United States army.
 Places can be mentioned only to d limited extent. Within the advanced zone no sector shall be said to have any attention troops in it until the enemy has established it as fact by taking prisoners.
 Ship movements. real or possible will not be discussed. Plans of the army, real or possible, will not be dis cussed. Plans of the army, real or possible. will not he discussed.
 Number of troops as total or as classes will not be discussed, except by cOmmuniques.
 ''The effect of enemy fire will not be discussed except by cOmmunique.
 Casualties as to numbers will be passed only as indicated in the com muniquo. Individual dead or wound ed will be mentioned by name only where it is reasonably manifest to the censor that the facts are correct and that some definite and good aim, such as offering examples of heroism, will be served by printing.
 "In the main it is desirable to print no names of dead and wounded until the department has had time to notify their families and as notification comes only through the hospital re- port, it is apparent they will be de layed.
 "Tha American censorship Is final in artic.es concerning American troops
 Three cases present themselves and are disposed of as follows:
 If American troops are operating in strictly American sector, the news is submitted only to American general headquarters.
 If the troops are operating in a strictly allied sector. the news must be submitted only aat the general heac quarters of the allied army concerned.

DECLARES FRENCH ASKED FOR PEACE
Foreign Minister Says Nego- tiations With Allies to End Conflict Near; Washington Denies Statement.
eRr Revlsr Leased WIrcA


 WASHINGTON. April 3.-American government officials and the entente embassies saw another TeutOnic peace offensive todayfin the reported speech of Count Czerniu. the Austro Hungari- an foreign minister. declaring that re- gently negotiatiops were near between the Austrian and1he allied govern ments.
 The movement. evidently conceived in Germany. they said was made :ust as it became certain that the German drive in the west had failed of it's pur- pose anG was intended 10 bring diseord among the allied pOwers and to cause discomfort among their populations.
 The foreign minister's statement that Premier Clemenceau of France had advanced a suggestion of peace discussions and her reference to AL sace-LOrraine as a stumbling block. it was declared here. were designed n create the belief that the allies desired tO recover Alsace-LOrraine for France. is the only thing that stands in tfe way Of peace.
 Officials and members of the diplO- matic corps were unanimous in their declaration that Czernin's statements had not basis of fact and further that no peace suggestions coming from the TeutOniC powers would be given con sideratIon at this time.
 There was no disagreement in tho conviction that Germany must he de feate1 by force of arms before the question of peace is taken up in any way.
