Mothers of New Democracies

l Rutherford Darlington. in the Worl1 1 Outlook.
 1 The father of his country" has ap- 1 peared time and time again in history ! since the beginnings of nations, but if
 there have been any maternal parents | they have been nameless. Still. if 1 home needs mother, why not a coun- 1 try-the home of a race? It is the present great upheaval which forces the question. Women are being called upon to aid in creating new states with new standards, and in liberat- ing aspiring peoples. These are tasks
 that give them a share in the parent hood of nations.
 One of these political mothers is a young girl. not long turned 20. She is one of the builders of a Bohemia of
 the future, a nation made up of that staunch division of the Slavs-the Czecho- -Siovaks
 Her opportunity came when her father, Prof. Thomas G. Masaryk who
 is head of the Czecho -Slovak National
 council. went to Russia, in the early days of the revolution and left her ia
 charge of the London office Thus
 Olga Masaykr became one of the lead
 CTS in the Czecho- Slovak movement
 whose national council has been offi-
 cially recognized by England and
 France as the independent government
 of Bohemia. And her woman's voice
 was heard in the call that rallied the
 freedom loving Czecho-Slovaks around flag of their own in France and Joined them in a separate fighting
 unit.
 Mrs. Sevasti Kyrias Dako. another fearless spokesman of liberty for the small nations. has mothered many en- terprises in her native country of AL bania when ''mothering" required ths true spirit of the buccaneer. That her influence as nationalist had come to be feared by the authorities is proved by the fact that she was forced to leave her home when war began. Coming to this country she has been made president of the Albanian na- tional party and is leading in thA struggle to defend Albanian integrity and create free and self f-governing state.
 Hardly women's tasks these political undertakings, according to the tradi. 1 tions of the past. But many tradition, | are dying hard with the jolts of the | world wrestling match now going on. |

Released Energy of Women

| Charlotte Perkins Gilman in the l World outlook
 | Before the war the United States had
 in industry 85 men to IA women. Eng lang had 75 men to 25 women, while | Germany's ratio was 80 to 20 At the 1 present time our country has 10000, ,090 women and girls in gainful occupa : | tions. In Japan 56 per cent of all ] factory operatives are women, and 1 India reports that in Bombay alone 1 22 0oG women are employed in cotton mills.
 England quickly found that the woman who charges the shell is as val uable to the country as the man who discharges it, and she honors the thou sands of earnest workers who have flocked to what one of our colorei l friends calls the "mutilation" factories Canada has 5000 employed as bank clarks with commensurate advance in other lines. Tn France women are saw ing the country as absolutely as the men Four hundred and fifty thou sand are making munitions, they are carrying on agriculture and viticulture as well as factory and shop work Seventy thousand are with the Red Cross, of whom 5000 serve in the fir ing zone. In Russia the increase of women in technical industries is "A per cent The Italian war department em- ploys 75.0o0 women and in civil ac- tivities they are doing distinguished work. Spain. too, is moving, her long pressed women struggling out wherever possible, with notable achievements in literature and educa- ton.
 And 1t is all leading to unity among the nations. It is a most hearten- ing sight. this swinging forward of the great reserve. that half the world so long jokingly described as the bet ter half, but treated as a most in- ferior fraction. As women come out fro mtheir age-long isolation and learn the comradeshp of mutual service, so shall We come nearer to the federation of nations.
 This vast army of women who work will mean better health for the world now that the housewife is becoming the city-wife, too. and learning that a clean city is essential to a clean home. The woman who saves chicken fat. suet and bacon grease at home will not be willing that her city lose hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of garbage a year. She is learning to save for the community as well a for the home.

Since the day the Germans started backward from the Marne they have been conserving their numbers as never before and they have done it in most admirable manner But 1t has been at the expense of positions.
 The German losses in men have not been so great IS might have been ex- pected. In the fighting north of the Marne the retreat was skilfully planned and carried out in a manner that excited admiration Machine guns were substituted for men at almost every point and the way in which the German army is built around that par ticular bit of ordnance has been very thoroughly demonstrated.
 Every backward step of the enemy was guarded by the automatic guns Get back the artillery and the bulk of the infantry was the order repeated in tha German army as the French and ~hiiASA tSstHS PIOuucu tAeJD. III almost every instance the rear guard action meant the resistance of little machine gun units and because of the clever manner in which the nests were placed they were able to hold their own long enough to enable the main armies behind them to fall back
 They were not always placed in lines, but left here and there just over the brow of hill or in the deep woods, on the ground and in the trees and almost always skillfulIy camou flaged. But always their disposition war coordinate.

RUSSIANS FACING
 STARVATION WINTER
Worthless Money Prevents
 Peasants From Selling Their Grain Stores

London, September 25.-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press )-A win ter of starvation is a safe prediction for Russia. Indications are that 1t will be one of the worst winters the Russian people have experienced in all their history.
 l All summer the food situation in Russia, particularly in Moscow. Petro. grad and other large cities has been steadily growing more and more acute. i In the latter part of August, before the writer left Moscow. bread, or that mixture of straw, oat husks and other i ingredients of unknown origin which ] Moscow inhabitants are induced to ac- cept as bread. had almost entirely dis appeared and certain city districts had mot received the usual allowance for nearly a week.
 The government had classified the population into categories, whereby worl<ingmen and government employees received a larger allowance, while pro fessionals and well-to-do people get the smallest which in Moscow amounts to one-sixteenth of pound In Petro- grad the bourgeois or middle class
 
 herrings day.
 The shortage of bread is largely due to the governments shortsighted policy in hxing a low price for grain which did not even cover the farmers eN- penditure, let alone profit The peas ants refused to comply with the decree to turn over all grain in excess of d certain arbitrarily fixed amount to the food committee. and when the latter were reinforced by a detachment of armed bread crusaders, the peasants gathered from several villages and of. fered resistance. frequently putting the crusaders to flight
 But even if the government price were much higher the peasants would not willingly exchange their gain for worthless money, of which they seem to have much and which has no prac- tical value to them They want manu- factured goods, which the government is unable to furnish, as most of the factories are idle for lack of fuel and raw material and also because the bol- sheviki need the workmen to fight on the numerous fronts.
