Domestic Service a Probl NJ
Particular attention is being given
to the problems of domestic service.
which represent immense wastes of
human energy. Nowadays a woman is
likely to lose her social standing if
she advcrtises for Il servant, especial
~ if She mentions in the advertise
ment, as many English housewives do,
that her establishment is based On the
butler and three maids model c the
butler, houseman and four maids
model, or something of that sort For
her advertisement is likely to become
the basis Of derisive comment by folks
who wonder why the butler is not in
uniform and some of the maids at
least in munitions factory.
While The authorities who are hunt
ing for man power and woman power
insist that altogether too much of it
is wasted in domestic service, house
holders declare that it is becoming
practically impossible to get service
ut all. Moreover, it is likely to con-
tinue so for Il long period, because
women, young and old, who have
tasted the satisfaction Of that more
independent existence that is vOuch-
safed to other workers are almost
without exception determined that they
will never go back into domestic serv-
ice.
Here is the formula for the mobiH-
cation of national man power and ma
tional financial resources Discharge
your servants and see that they get
enlisted in national service. Save the
money that you would have paid them
in wages and buy war bonds. The
government will pay that money to
your former servants as wages for
making munitions. The rest Of the
money that you save by reason of cir
cumscribing your domestic establish
ments will be deity taken away from
you by the government through its in
strumentalities of taxation ana used
TO maintain the armies in France and
in almost all the other quarters of the
world. Another energy that is being
tapped is the great class of women
who have never imagined that it was
part Of their life to engage in gainful
occupation. There are fewer of them
in England by good many hundreds
of thousands than there were before
the war But there are still many of
them, and the effort Is TO enlist them
for useful service.

Ouswitting the Winter Sun

Objection is being made to an all
year-round day]ight-saving law on the
ground that it will compel many people
argument applies only in the two or
three months when the days are short
est. Even in December and January
there is light enough for an eight-hour
workday if the SUMS contribution is
properly spread over the working period.
In February and in q part of November
there is light enough for nine-hour
working day. In March there is an ample
margin of light at both ends of the work
ing period.
The great advantage of the hour
ahead -of-the-sun schedule is that it adds
sixty minutes of sunlight to the after
noon throughout the entire year. 1t
saves artificial illumination at a portion
of the day when the demand for light is
heaviest. Mr. Baruch has told Congress
that there is at present an urgent need
fer economy in the use of coal, gas and
electric power. The savings OF summer
time cannot, Of course, be duplicated In
winter time, But 80 per cent reduc-
ton Of the ordinary winter and early
spring wastage can easily be effected.
Why not try the experiment? All the
croakers croaked when the clock was set
ahead last spring. Their forebodings
were absolutely unjustifed. So it will be
if we practise winter daylight economy.
Every little helps, and no saving is
superfluous which aids in eking out our
war industry resources.

The Kaiser's PIayhoy

Phllipp Scheidemann, who has consented
to play a leading role in the staging Of
the Potsdam farce comedy, "Democratized
Germany" is an adept masqucrader. He
has been "bitter ender" MARKHAM one
day, proclaimlng the war Of classes and
hailing the approach of proetarian re-
public in Germany. The next day he has
been working stealthily for the preserva-
ton of the Prussian autocracy and the
triumph of militarism and Imperialism.
Scheidemann was one Of the chief pro-
ponents in the Reichstag of the famous
S'come-on" resolution declaring against
annexations and indemnities. He gladly
served as the Kaiser's decoy in promot-
ing the Bolshevist counter revolution in
Russia. He was apparently privy to the
fact that the German government had
taken title by purchase to Lenine and
Trotzky He had himself named as the
leader of the German Socialist delegation
which was to go to an international So
cialst conference at Stockholm and there
encourage the Socialists Of the countries
at war with Germany to agitate for a
compromise peace, made on the basis Of
the war map and therefore inevitably fa-
vorable to Germany.
Scheidemann would have been the red
dest Of the Reds at Stockholm. And the
Kaiser would have laughed in his sleeve
at this willy actors foaming about the
brotherhood Of the oppressed which was
to rise in its might and sweep the bel
ligerent governments off the face of the
earth as preliminary to universal peace
and determination. For at home Scheide-
mann always carried his police card. The
only idea OF a German Socialist revolu-
tion he had ever entertained was a revo-
luton vis@d by the government and made
safe and respectable by police protec-
ton. Fortunately the Allied powers
squelched the Stockholm conference.
Nevertheless, the German majority So
cialists played the game through with
the Russians. Accepting the Reichstag's
NO anneNations, no indemnities rasolu-
ton al face value and not suspectns
Lenne's and Trotzky's treachery, Russia
went to Brest-Litovsk, eager for fair
peace. But after she had disarmed Ger
many turned on her and despoiled her.

The Kaiser Is Winning

Our armies in France, fighting glo-
riously with our allies, are winning the
greatest battle ever fought by man.
We, at home, are losing our battle.
losing it day by day, hour by hour. as
the Liberty Loan figures come in.
The white flag peace trick failed ut
terly to halt the ceaseless blows that
Foch is striking through a million brave
hearts and hands from Verdun to the
sea.
1t has not failed here behind the line.
1t has won and is still winning. It has
so befogged our minds, and relaxed our
wills that subscriptions are tagging far
behind the utmost. We give but half
our thought to the loan; the rest is for
peace, its possibility, its manifold con-
sequences, our hope of it, our doubt
OF it, our need to fight any chance of
compromise. The diversion is working
as each of us knows and can see in him.
self. Such is human nature.
The Kaiser's trick must not and will
not prevail. But let us not delude our
selves as to its success thus far. 1t
has succeeded in muddling our national
atmosphere, in delaying the loan cam
paign, in imperilling the greatest deed
asked Of us who fight behind the line
since America entered the war.
Let US see how we have been tricked
Let Us realize how we have faltered in
our stride, how much lost ground must
be made up. Then let us make it up.
There is time yet. But not time to
spare Forget peace, forget every
thought Of peace. This is YOUR zero
hour. Go over the top without a look
behind or thought in the world EXCEPT
to get Germany. Give as your soldier
tlghts~-to the last limit of your power.

Of civilization.
Unconditional surrender is the only
answer we or our allies can make to
the German request for an armistice.
Ten million men have died that the
German might be beaten as he is now
beaten. We should betray them if we
tail TO perform our duty now. All that
their sacrifice has meant will be lost if
we consent now to discuss with Ger
many, still in arms, the settlement of
this world catastrophe precipitated by
Germany and to this very hour carried
on with a brutality and violence un-
known even to the barbarism Of the re-
mote ages. The hour to bring that for
which they died has arrived. It is for US
to see to it that they did not die in vain.

The Faster the Bonds Go the

specifically for the destruction of Ger
many's power.
The President has called for guaran-
tees that 'national armaments will be re-
duced to the lowest point consistent with
domestic safety; he has never called ex-
plicitly for the disarmament of Ger
many, OF land and sea, as criminal
nation that cannot be trusted either to
bear arms or to have access to the means
of their production.
Always the President has talked and
written of justice and principles and
ideals of human relationship abstractly,
in language Germany cannot under
stand.
He has called for victory, but never
for the moral punishment of Germany
thereafter
Victory is not in itself an end. Attila,
King of the Huns. had victories
Victory in this war, AS we understand
it, is but means to justice, and by JUS
tce we mean death to the Kaiser and to
the authors of all that unspeakable Grim
inality committed in his name.
Shall his Gott be stronger than the
God of right?
Shall we have killed several millions
of his serfs only to let him go free at
last?
If this be the verdict of the Amer
lean people we do not know them. And
if it be said that "our associates in this
war" may feel differently and that the
President, in opening the door to peace
discussions with Germany, had informa-
ton which, were it known to the rest of
us, would justify his course, our answer
is that the will Of the people is greater
than all circumstances. 1t is our cru
sade. Faith inspires it--not informa-
tion. And, if need be, we can finish it
alone.

newspapers. Yet the very news that It
sent broadcast in chat way reached
newspaper readers from the Atlantic to
the Pacific as soon as the sun rose over
the horizon. The obvious purpose of the
telegram is found in the last sentence:
Chicago is blowing whistles and ring
ing bells"
1t Chicago blew whistles and rang
bells at midnight in celebration of peace,
The Chicago Herald and Examiner
which declared the statement to be
fact, would be the first newspaper to
display that fact in its first issue follow
ing. But it failed to do so. The fact Is
that Chicago was not disturbed at mid
night by whistles and bells proclaiming
German-made peace
Did The Chicago Herald and Exam
lner" intend to carry the suggestion to
the mayors of American cities that BY
the midnight blowing of whistles and
ringing of bells they start a demonstra-
tlon over & false peace?
Did not THE Chicago Herald and Ex-
an1lner' stop to consider when it sent
that telegram that had the MAYORS of
American cities been euileiess enough
to tall into the trap Of such psvcho-
logical suggestion the midnight bursting
OF whistles and ringing of bells would
nave created q feeling that the war is
over? And that this feeling would have
hit, # it would not indeed halt. the
Liberty Loan drive?
Eighteen professors in the University
OF Wisconsin Immediately sent to Presi-
cent Wilson telegram declaring that
any peace with the Hohenzollerns would
be hollow and Elusive. These same
eighteen professors, together with some
OF our patriotic citizens, issued a state
ment to the press which we carry to-
day, denouncing the midnight stampede
telegram sent out by THE Chicago
Herald and Examiner"
If this telegram sent out by "The
Herald and Examiner" as the product
OF gullelessness, it was the guile tha.
smacks too much of German cunning.
Now is the time when every American
must be on his guard. Germany is the
cleverest crook that ever operated

the greatest genius at the art Of decep-
ton and intrigue the world has ever
known And she knows we'll how to use
gulleless people even against their own
will. Now is the time for every Amer-
can to watch his step and for every
American to BEWARE.

Did Scheidemann and the other Reichs
tag resolutionists denounce this robbery
and perfidy? Did they refuse to ratify
the Brest-Litovsk spoliations? Not at
all. Socialist Germany as we'll as i'm
perialist Germany was intoxicated with
the dream Of Eastern empire now seem
ing to be on the point of matcralizing.
The proletariat went along with the pan
Germans and the militarists in jubilatng
over the betrayal of Russia. For with
Russia absorbed the German pathway
would lie open into India.
Suddenly that pathway closed again.
An unlooked-for change in the military
situation has made the German autocracy
tremble for the future. SO Schiedemann
has been recalled to the hmelight In the
Relchstag and in the imperial Cabinet
wearing the Kaiser's livery, he will
now be used to play The role which he
hoped to play at Stockholm. He will try
Germany-a Germany which has re-
pented her sins and now yearns only for
international justice and brotherhood.
But the most innocent minded will see
this time the Scheidemann tongue in the
Scheidemann check. This fawner on
Hohenzollernism, this proletarian pos
turer, cannot now deceive even a Russian
moujik. No imperial backstairs agent
like him can speak to the world for Ger
man democracy-granted that there is
at present any such thing to speak for
Germany cannot be saved by simula-
tlon OF democracy, Size cannot hope to
come into peace council until she IS
cleaned her hands and purged her soul--
until she has atoned for Hohenzollernlsm

be so with most of the mayors who
received the telegram. "The Chicapo

Apart from the mann question Of
whether an armistice with the Hun is
possible, it is proper to suggest that in
the event of its coming to pass one OF the
rigid stipulations should refer to prison
ers. There should be an immediate re-
lease by the enemy CT all civilian prison
ers without conditions. There should be
also full release Of al military prison
