France has requested the American Y. w. c. A. to provide foyers or social rooms for girls who are working in the great industrial plants which are producing government supplies. Multitudes of them are refu- gees, either separated from their families and not able to learn whether they are living or dead, many have lost everybody belonging to them by war. Everyone Is worn and saddened by loss of friends and the hardships of war. The women must work if the men continue to fight. For 1t is they who literally fill the guns. II they work they must be heartened II the men fight with full zeal at the front they must know that the women they have left at home are ueing heartened.
 "A Y w. c. A. foyer or social rooms have been opened for the girls who are working in the ministry of war in Paris. Similar Y. w. c. A. social centers are in operation for munition workers in Lyons, St. Etienne, Bourges and Tours. Some of these foyers have gardens attached. In Lyons, St. Etienne and Tours splendid recreation fields have been opened for out door sports, picnics, outdoor suppers and general good times. In spite of her high heels the French girl. too, is taking to hikes with a will Holidays are spent in this way, far from the very-day scene of work.
 With every coming draft in this country the number of giljs who are taking the places of men in the service will be multi- piled With every increase i'll the number of workers is coming, too, an increase in the number of girls who know how to oc- cupy their free time with wholesome play, This is one of the results of the war for democracy, war being won by woman, a swell as by men.

OLD CLOTHES FOR REFUGEES

This is old clothes week. Please look over your winter clothes and give what you can spare. Owing to the fact that the success of the allies has
 released numbers of villages, there are thousands of French and Belgians to help. These unfortunate people have been ground under the iron heel of Germany for four years, and at last
 were stripped of every possession by the retreating Germans. They are in great need of warm winter clothing.
 Please give what you can spare. It is not necessary to mend the clothes, but please see that they are in a, neat and clean condition. Tie into bundles If

IHHS7 11IGH ideals of life and action ITl courage and belief in God ts S S support the spirit of our men at the front and to be their equal in nobleness and true Christian character when they return Is the aim and mis- son of the Young Women's Christian As sociation war work.
 It was just after Miss Elizabeth Hughes, the able and highly honored leader of the southeastern division of the war work council of the Y. w. C. A.. had delivered her ringing, stirring mes sage before the Alabama state confer ence Monday morning that I had the pleasure of meeting her and exchanging a few brief words with her on the sub ject which is so near and dear to her heart.
 Miss Hughes is a typical Y. w. c. A. worker, enthusiastic, optimistic, intellec- tual and practical. She has been affil- lated with the work for many years, first as general secretary in the state ol OEio and later as national field secre- tary for Ohio and Virginia and then on the national board, which has assigned her to the leadership in war work or the southeastern division.
 Miss Hughes has a great deal of per sonality-winning and appealing and she has an unusually attractive way of put ting things"
 History tells us that man waged war in days gone by and women remained at home-waiting but waiting has passed into the discard as wofnan's sphere, along with many other bygone customs; now women are fighting no less etfec- lively than our men on the fighting lines
 Our women are fighting evils that are prone to follow in the wake of war; and to maintain the fighting morale Of the entire country at it's greatest ef- fciency and perhaps no organization IS doing more of this fine war work than that splendid organization, the Young Momens Christian Association.
 From establishing cafeterias in Russia to looking after the foreign wife Of the drafted soldier on our own shores-the r. w. C. A. touches the lives of women and men as few people realize; the hos tess house" at the cantonments forms only one small part of the field cov- cred; the work includes looking after the ca ting and sleeping arrangements, for example, of thousands of girls suddenly employed in the great war industries; 1t is helping the women of France, of Bel gium. of England, of Italy-and 1t su- pervises the recreation features for the girls in the vicinity of camps all over America.
 .As an experiment in war emergency farm work 10 foreign-born mothers have been recruited as farm unit to Work in Hopedale, N. J., near Redbank,' said Miss Hughes They will all live in big 11-room farm house, which farmer

 "A million and half women have al- ready answered the call of Uncle Sam for workers. They have come from all parts of the land, multitudes of them, to l places entirely strange. The next draft will increase the number and each suc- ceeding one," said Miss Hughes.

Some wear overalls, some khaki coats and aprons that cover them, and some in regimentals are driving automobile trucks. Many of these girls are earning salaries for the first time. As an army they are just as loyal as Pershing's men over in France.
 Large numbers of these girls go back to furnished rooms and boarding houses at night" she continued. What are their recreations? The war department asked this. Then it requested the war work council of the national Y. w. c. A. to provide resources for out work hours for girls and women wherever they are working on government supplies, includ- ing the 22 great intuition cantonments being opened by the war department. What is being done by the Y. w. c. A. in response to this request at the Bush ter- minal is the beginning of similar work in many other places.
 Where are all the girls gong?' Miss Hughes quoted and answered by saying: No wonder that quiet citizen did not associate the crowded railroad train with the great munition factories at the end of the line. Nobody inquired where the soldiers filling train on the next track were bound. Everybody knew. But the soldiers in khaki and the girls in 'citz'

THE KAISER'S PROPOSAL

The following passages are Woreh re- reading with this fact in mind:
 .The most terrific war experienced in history has been raging for the last two years and half over large part Of the world-a catastrophe which thousands of years of common civilization was un- able to prevent, and which injures the most precious achievements of humanity
 Our aims are not to shatter nor an nihilate our adversaries. In spite of our consciousness of our military and eco homie strength and our readiness to con- tinue the war (which has been forced upor us) to the bitter end if necessary; at the same time, prompted by the de- sire to avoid further bloodshed and make an end to the atrocities of war, the four allied powers propose to enter forthwith into peace negotiations.
 The four allied powers have been obliged to take up arms to defend jus tica and the liberty of national evolution. The glorious deeds of our armies have in no way altered their purpose. We al ways maintained the firm belief that our OWL rights and justified claims in mo way control the rights of these nations.
