WOMAN GUARDS A CROSSING
Takes Mans Job as Waterman for
Railway Company and Likes
the Work.

South Bend.-Women are filling
mems positions in Europe and some
are already doing it in the United
States. Among the women here who
are doing mems work is Mrs. Helen
Stackman, Waterman at the Vernon
street crossing of the New York Cen
trail railroad. Mrs. Stackman is en-
thusiastic over her new job and says,
while she believes woman's place is in
the home, she feels perfectly at home
in her little watch house. She has two
small children who spend most of the
day in school and the rest of the time
with their mother at the crossing.
Many persons who live in the neigh
borhood of the crossing believe that
Mrs. Stackman earns her monthly sal

whose children must cross the
railroad to and from school. The lit
tie watch house provides the children
with a sort Of halfway place between
home and school, and already this year
they have taken advantage Of the op-
portunity to stop and warm themselves.

There is hope even in Russia. Trotzky and Lenne
not The Bolsheviki is not the court of last
resort in that distracted land There is skeleton of
government back of these that must be reckoned with
before Germany will be permitted to work her
sweet will among the Savs. This is the constituent
assembly that directly from the people of the
whole nation just the American congress does. A
treaty, to be binding the nation must be rati
fed by this constituent assembly.
This doubt explains the break in the peace
negotiations with Germany. 1t explains the recent in
dignant outburst of Trotzky against the extreme de-
mands of Germany. Trotzky knew that he could not
jam such dose down the Threats of the constituent

Doing business in Russia with Trotzky and Lenine
is much like doing business in America with Bob La

just about binding the rank and file of the nation

and drove them into exile is be bound gagged
and delivered to German autocracy by any such pgmes

face, but if the German plotters get their
treaty they will find in the end that it is but empty
shell if it is not deadly explosive.

Particular attention is being given

Particular attention is being given
to the problems of domestic service,
which represent immense wastes of
human energy. Nowadays woman is
likely to lose her social standing if
she advertises for servant, especial
ly II she mentions in the advertise
ment, as many English housewives do,
that her establishment is based on the
butler and three maids model, or 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 a 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
at ALL Moreover, it is likely to con-
tinue so for long period, because
women, young and DID, who have
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 mobili-
Zation 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
your domestic establish
nents will be deftly taken away from
you by the government through it's in
Of taxation and used

n almost all the other quarters of the.
world. Another energy that is being
appel is the great class of women
Who have never imagined that it was
,art of their life to engage in gainful
occupation. There are fewer of them
n England by good many hundreds
f thousands than there were before
he war. But there are still many of
hem, and the effort is to enlist them
or useful service.

Let it be admitted, too, right to time and

gone forever This nation will never again fall back
into the old slough of despond. The young men who

find radically different conditions when they return

Obituary

Martin Anderson was born in Swed-
en-, June 10, 1916. At the early age OF
Is years he started for himself in
the activities and cares of life, going
! first to sea, where he continued for
| three or more years. When in 1865
he embarked in the coast service on
the Atlantic where six years were
spent, half of which time was on a
U. S. revenue cutter
In 1871 Mr.. Anderson came west to
Portland, spending one winter in Ore
gon, he then migrated to IDAHO, ta-
king presumption six miles south
from where Moscow is now. One year
later he sold this property and took
a homestead where his sons live, nine
miles south of Moscow, where he la
bored long and faithfully and did much
for the upbuilding and advancement of
the country. Here he bestowed his
labors in the art of agricul-
ture and stock raising being crowned
with abundant success.
In the fall of 1904 he moved his
family to Charleston, Wash, where they
have made their home to the present
time.
MraAnderson was identified with the
Christian church and was devout
supporter of the faith. He married
Miss Eva c. Peterson in Moscow on
December 13, 1878, the latter being de-
ceased December 30, 1910. Mr.. and
Mrs Anderson were the parents of
seven children: Alfred S. and Oscar
M. of Moscow, Clarence A. of Clifford |
Prentiss A., student at Kirksville, |
Mo-; Laura E. Hattie H. and Marie |
c., who have made their home with |
their father in Charleston.
Mr. Anderson was the last of a fam
ly of four, one girl and three boys.
Besides his children he leaves one
grandson, Kenneth Evans Anderson.
By way of Renaissance it is inter-
ssting to note that Mr.. Anderson built
fort on his farm during the Indian
var of 1877 and remained there all the
ime. Many deserted their places and
lbandoned all their improvements.

ALL BRIT0NS TO

Government Begins Final "Comb
Out" for Men to Swell
Military Ranks.
WOMEN MUST DO Share
Those Unable to Fight Are Called fcf
Other Necessary Service-Econ-
omy of Effort, Expense and

Lonlon.-With 100000 men in uni
form, and with other millions, both
men and women, engaged in occupa-
lions hardly less directly concerned
with the wars prosecution, England
is organizing one more comb OUT to
find men for military service, and both
men and women for other essential
employments. The appeal for men to
don uniforms and for workers is ac-
companied by renewed insistence
upon the utmost economy of every eff
fort, expense and material Economy
is the Watchword of the new national
service campaign under the direction
of Sir Auckland Geddes, minister of
national service.
'Womans clothes are the grave Of
an enormous amount of human ener-
gy," he said New hats alone absorb
the work of millions of fingers, and
whatever effect they may have that
effect certainly does not include help
ing to beat the enemy.
eff we are to make the great eff
fort that we should make if we really
are going to make the greatest effort
in our history, our Imagination must
be quickened to understand the effect
of our smallest actions. Everywhere,
in practically every home, we are vast
ing something. | am sorry to say that
we have great organizations which ex-
list to encourage waste"
Only Necessities of War.
Sir Auckland insists, the govern
ment is beginning to insist the people
are beginning to understand, that con-
sumption to a great extent has got to
stop. The producing capacity of the |
country has got to be saved to turn |
out the absolute necessaries of life |
and of war.
The case is being laid before the !,
British people now in the very SIM
plest terms. Not only is everybody
urged to eat the least possible amount
of food necessary to maintain good
physical condition but everybody is
told that he must wear his clothes
longer, must be satisfied with patched
boots, must cut down his expenditures
for every kind of luxury, for amuse-
ment
But that is only the beginning. The
hands that would have been occupied
In making the new dress that my lady
Is not going to buy and that therefore
will not be made; the fingers that
would have employed themselves pre-
pairing the CONNECTION of hat that Is
going to be forsworn; the skill and
1andicraft that would have found oc-
,upation producing suits Of clothes
hat are not going to be bought or
worn; all these must find employment
# another kind; employment at pro-
lucing the things necessary, and abb
olutely necessary, to national life and
ational war.

JUDGE UPHOLDS UNJUST WILL
Rules Law Does Not Require Equity
in Testaments in Case in New
York Court.

New Worthwhile admitting thai
the will of George A. Williams Of the
firm of George A. Williams & Sons is
unjust, because he cuts off two sons
who are heads of families and have
slender incomes, and adding that the
natural character" of Mr.. Williams
was unjust, Justice Blackmar of the
appellate division in Brooklyn upheld
the testament on the ground that the
law does not force man to will his
property justly.
Accordingly, the entire estate
amounting to $90,OOO will go to a
daughter, Mrs. Laura A. Buchanan,
Brooklyn.
The testimony showed that the elder
Williams was eighty-tWo years old
when the will was executed and was
addicted to excessive and continuous
use Of alcohol.
