Three suits were filed yesterday in
the Supreme Court against the Junior
Plattsburg, Inc, by the fathers of three
boys who attended the summer mill
tary camp at Clinton, N. Ys and who,
it is alleged, did not receive the at
tention promised for the $3.50 fee.

his son in danger of having his morals
impaired

Beloved Poet

PARIS, Dec. 1.-The funeral of Ed
mond Rostand took place this morning
amid the sincere mourning of all

During his life, Rostand held him

When the coffin was borne from the
house in the Champ de Mars in which

church by six old servants and a half
dozen other mourners only Among
them were Rostand's two sons his
brothers. in-law and Louis Barthou,
former premier, who was at his bed
side when he died. In front of the
coffin went two cars loaded with flow
ers sent by the Academy Coincide
Franchise, all the great societies and
many men of letters.
The Church of st. Pierre de eros

Miss Sophia Carey Tells The

encc We Have Means of
Feeding Whole of Europe

Among the speakers at the third ses-
sion of the annual conference Of the
Academy Of Political Science, held YES
terday at the Hotel Astor, were two
English women, prominent in industrial
and war work Miss Helen Fraser, rep
rescntative of the British Treasury,
and a member of the land work and
TODD control boards, and Miss Sophia
Carey, of the Lord Roberts Memorial
Workshop Tor Disabled Soldiers.
1--WE had in England" Miss Fraser
said, 100000 girls who entered in
dustry for The first time, with the COM
ing Of war; that is, we're paid labor
ers. Many women worked day and
night, turning out munitions and other
commodities.
During the war we made many
general improvements in the conditions
under which our women worked, and
at all times the women received the
same pay as TIE men. In the matter
Of bonus however. difference was
made in favor of the men.
England's Reconstruction Problem
Part of our reconstruction problem
will be the continuation of this ques-
ton of equal pay for equal work. An
other problem. ] believe, is seeing that
the money earned by women be spent
wisely that those who have made
more money during the last year or
two than they ever made before may
be influenced in a sane expenditure of
it,
Foro the first half of the war, Miss
Carey supervised the feeding of the
civil population of Belgium, and also
assisted in the care of the Belgian
army. After that, she organized in
ENGLAND the Lord Roberts Memorial
Workshop for Disabled Soldiers. Her
