According to letters which have just
reached France from the two stricken
provinces many of these women and
girls are now being obliged TO dig
both trenches and tunnels.

the Germans exercise over the iphabl-
tants of fAlsace-Lorraine. the latter still

which give vivid descriptions of the
regime which the Germans are now
imposing there.

Another letter which got through to
Epinal, deals more at length with the
manner in which the Germans are
practically enslaving the girls and wo-
men of AIsace-Lorraine. This fetter
reads.
In Alcase the Boches have inaug-
urated the deportation of numerous
women and young girls into the mill
tary zone on the French front where
they are forced to work. The newspaA
pers do not speak about this, but
merely reprint the response given by
The German government to Deputy
Hauss The government stated that in
the female personnel there are only
per cent of the young girls who are
under II years OF age. Among these
there are some who volunteered.
(Quite naturally. because many facto-
ries are closed, and in order not to
starve to death one is forced to accept
whaever presents itself. to say nothing
of the other means of persuasion that
the Boches have at their Disposal
''The government continued its re-
ply by saying that all young girls un-
their families; first those that are nov
working against their will. and later
all the rest, as fast as circumstances

''Ih has now been decided to grant
leaves of absence to soldiers from AL

1t seems to be impossible to pre-
vent more or less friction between
volunteers and drafted men. There
doesn't seem to be any difference be-
tween them in the quality of their
work and on the firing line. There
are hundreds of thousands of drafted
men who would have volunteered any
how, but the volunteer is inclined to
look down on the drafted man, who
resents, and seldom deserves, being
looked down on. Without the draft,
however, we don't believe the United
States could have raised big army,
and there is no getting around the
fact that If about half million men
hadn't volunteered before there was
any draft we wouldn't have had any
army or navy to start with. So let
the boys quit kidding each other, and
take it all out on the Huns.

Every boy can become soldier by
buying WSS.

The Star is informed that it is the
intention of the city to try to get
along with only one chemical engine
in it's fire apparatus. Some weeks ago,
the tank on the little truck sprung a
leak. 1t is understood that these tanks
are constructed SO they cannot be re-
paired; however, some of our local
machinists tried to repair this one,
and haven't so far succeeded. Now.
we understand, the city will take the
tank off the big truck and put it on
the little one. 1t is more needed on
the little truck, of course, as it can
go in places where the big truck can
not go SO quickly, if at all. However,
we think it is not good policy to have
only one chemical-it might cause a
rise in insurance rates. The city is
very shy of money at present, but we
think it had better strain little and
obtain new tank.

WOMAN IN "FLoWERY" JAPAN

Investigated.

Japanese life, says James Daven-
port Whelpley in the Century, is much
less flowery than it seems. In no
other country in the world does
parger percentage of women partici-
pate in wage earning. In the United
States for every Sc male wage earn.
ers there are IA female. In Great
Britain, il is 10 to %, in Germany so
to 20, in Italy rs to %, while in
Japan there are nearly twice as many
women as men on the payrolls of
the country. 1t is the testimony of all
large employers that the women are
the industrial backbone of the coun-
try. The employment OF women and
children is the secret of the competi-
tive power of the Japanese textile and
other light handicraft industries. and it
is for this reason that the possible
operation of a law enforcing sanitary
provisions and even the common de
cencies of humanity in factory life is
viewed with alarm by the manufacture
ers in their necessarily strenuous
competition for foreign trade.
The new law limits hours of en-
ployment, forbids the use of children
under certain ages and the employ
pent of women at night and in dan
gerous occupations. 1t can be under

Proposed Memorial to FrcbIsher.

The man who was the first to search
for the Northwest Passage round the
north coast of Canada is apparently
to be honored at last. Martin Fro
bisher, one of the greatest seamen OF
the days of Good Queen Bess," and
one of the first Englishmen to explore
the coast of Labrador, is TO have
memorial to him at Ratcliff Cross,
England. The scheme is being strong
ly advocated by Sir John Benn, one of
London's most influential citizens.
Frobisher's adventures form a Gu
rious mixture of daring and credulity.
With the piratical instinct of the true
Elizabethan, Frobisher was tempted to
forego exploration I'm quest of phan-
tom gold. One of his sailors had
brought home a piece of black pyrite.
which the goldsmiths of London de.
clared to contain no gold, but which
an Italian quack valued highly. His
advice being preferred Frobisher went
out a second time TO Greenland's icy
mountains, and brought home 200 tons
of iron pyrites, of no earthly value.
