Great credit is due to Chairman
Easley of the National Civic Fed.ra-

Germany's claims; just a few items
from that valuable document wilt
prove illuminating:
Widows pensions in Germany dur
ing a series of years averaged 36

orphans pensions, 81 cents a week.
Wages averaged per day for carpen-

meet? BY working the whole fam,

FINISHING THE JOB

A newspaper once published an item which read
about like this: "A burglar entered the residence OF
John Smith, on Blank avenue, last night, and without
arousing any Of the household stole a pair Of cuff links
and a 5o-cent scarf pin. In his hurried search for val
uables he missed a wallet containing $500 which reposed
in the upper right hand bureau drawer" " .
The next morning, the paper said: mi. Smith.

He says

Ask the Belgian refugees why they will not leave
England, why they will not cross the Atlantic to

Why? Because we are going home, when Vic
tory is ours-when the enemy is driven over the
border. when shells are stilled and dead mems
bones may rest in quietness.'

GERMAN ARMY

Authentic reports show the German army to-
day numbers approximately 100000 men, or al
most twice the size it was in August 1914, and
100000 less than in August 1916. This is ex
elusive of the Austrian army, which in the cal
culations of military experts is a check-off
against the military army.
Careful calculations have convinced the Allied
military experts that from her own resources
the army this year, and against this is checked
an annual German loss of 100000. In cacu-
lations of the military man power situation the
potentialities of German activity in the Ukraine
are always factor. 1t is no secret that the
Kaiser hopes to place Ukranian army on the
western front before the end of the war.
The military situation as to man power may
be summarized by saying that France, England
and the United States face German army
of more than 5000, 900 men, Calculations of the
strength of the British and French fore show
the size of the tasl- confronting America as to
raising military man power. Information from
Allied sources show that there are now in the
divisions. These divisions average in size 49,
600 men, making total of 1864 900. This is l.
100000 more than the Germans had on the west
ern front one year ago and of the 1000, 900 in
crease rs per cent came from the Russian front
The remainder represents recruits.

SCORES PACIFISTS

Pacifists who maintain that their peace doc
trines are upheld in the new testament have
been scored by DIR. Henry Van Dyke.
DR.. Van Dyke is noted as an author and was
formerly United States minister to Netherlands
He is now chaplain at the Great Lakes Naval
Training station.
DR.. Van Dyke told his auditors that he had
been under fire. He described war as loathsome
and said hated it, but he added that he learned
to find justification from it.
''The new testament tells us, IF thine enemy
smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the
left cheek Also" said Dr. Van Dyke, 'but it does
not say, If he smites little babe on the right
cheek, hold up that babe so he can smite the
other cheek also.' And that is what the Pots
dam gang wants to do.
''The new testament says, Love thy neighbor
as thy SELF but it also says, IF thy right hand
offend thee, cut it off, Love thy neighbor as
thysef, yes, but if thy neighbours right COM
mits an offense against humanity, cut it off
Zone of Christ's last instructins to his de-
sciples was that he who did not have sword
should buy one. Our pacifist friends may say
he meant spiritual sword but he told them
also to take purse and scrip with them Did he
mean spiritual purse, or spiritual scrip? No,
he meant just what he said-that from that
time on they must be ready to defend them
selves"

WOMEN CONDUCTORS

The New York railway company, employing
ASP women conductors, and the Brooklyn Tran
sit company, which in February last had 1873
women car guards and conductors on it's sub
way trains. These were SO and 21.7 per cent
respectively of the total lumber of conductors
and guards employed.
From the facts brought out" recent re-
port declares, sit must be evident to any think
ing person that it is practically impossible to
make the conditions of street railway employ
ment even tolerably ndurable to women en-
ployes, and that the operation of street is
one of the last occupations into which women
should be lured or forced
"Those who advocate the employment of wo-
men as street car conductors have given scanty
consideration to irregularities of hours.
.'The principle has been clearly established
that woman cannot work at employment re-
curing constant standing without seriously en-
dangering her health. Moreover the conductor
is exposed to cold, damp, and draughts even on
the best type of inclosed cars
'The point has been made repeatedly by the
companies in the Investigation that even when
women have choice they frequently select night
runs At this time the cars, of course, are less
crowded and the work less strenuous. Some of
the women have remarked that they preferred
the women have remarked that they preferred
the night runs because it left them the day free
to do other things. Others with fampilies have
said that the night runs enable them to look
after the children and prepare the meals during
the day.
"The disastrous consequence of employing
women on night work to enable them to work
all day for their families have been so thorough
y demonstrated in other industries that it
needs no further demonstration in street car
operation"
According to the report the employment of
women has not actually lowered the wage scale,
the women being paid as much as the men form
erly employed, but has quite probably prevented
wages rising.
