To Nations Women, from Our Men in France

the world. you there and we here,
but one family.
You remember how we used tn
track mud op your kitchen floor?
oh, how clean would be our shoes
il we could draw up To your kitchen
tables nowl We used 10 scold when
the food was burned. Somehow, we
feel that we would be easier 10 live
with. il we get home. We believe
that we will never ask anything else
of God if we all can be brought to-
gether again. the way we used 10 be,
with our duty met and our world
safe.
We lie awake at night in the barns
where we are billeted and hate our
selves for the times that you have
cried when you smelt liquor on us.
We want you TO know Of all the un-
spoken prayers now being made for
your forgiveness.
II is chiefly for your sake, you
Women of America, that we are 60
ing TO see this thing through. Some
Of us came TO escape routine. or for
adventure or because we had failed
and ran away from il. But that,
too. is past. Now we know that we
are in this thing for the sake Of
America. and about all there is to
America for ms is you. Love us all
you can.
Every day the signal 10 move East
gets nearer. II is life marking OF
the DAYS on calendar, this heavy
expectancy. We are told that this
first little Division is going TO be
sacrificed 10 lift French morale. So
be il. There will be blunders of am
ateur officers, Of short supplies.
There will be deadly mechanical
precision of mitrailleuses aimed at
MS with three behind them. So be
il. We want you TO know that we
know these things and that at the
same time we are thinking OF you.
AT times like this Sunday after
noon. a pensive gentleness settles
over a camp. II is very different
from the easy activity Of week
DAYS. No one wants 10 quarrel. One
has an instinct 10 share. One
thinks repeatedly; What would
you do for a man who is going TO
die in three months?" and you know
that YOU would do anything for him
except fight him
Women Of America, we ecannot
put into words the pride and hom-
age and trust that your men in
France have for you.

p. o. Address

Mems thoughts become serious
when they face death in the trench
es. Life and the things Of life take
on new values, new meanings. There
is re-casting Of appraisals.
Things that i'm the superficial. care
less days Of peace and safety and
comfort appeared Of little account
are seen in a new light. Other
things that seemed important be-
come Of like account.
From a man who went TO France
as a member Of the Red Cross MIS-
sion months ago and who has since
returned for duty in that stricken
land. the Rev. Robert Davis, OF
Englewood. n. j., comes the follow
ing message addressed TO the Wo-
men Of America from American
Men in France" a message when
this magazine considers II a high
privilege 10 give 10 the world:
To the Women Of America from
American Men in France.
II is a still Sunday afternoon, IN
a still clean valley,-the first sun
day Of the Expeditionary Force IN
their permanent camp. The church
bells are ringing back home, IN the
white churches Of the villages, IN
the stone churches on city corners,
and YOU are entering your places
where we have in other times sat
beside you.-where We, as httle
boys. rested our sleepy heads on
vour comfortable laps. you mothers,
where we stood beside you and
held YOUR singing book when we
were first married. you wives, -
where we watched you shyly as
Won bowed during prayer, you girls
of golden hopes.
This is no letter Of one TO one
hut TO all you Women OF America
from the total heart OF your men
in France. who love and need you
as we never did in careless times
We wonder whether you are think
ing of us as constantly as we are
thinking of you. You never seemed
so loyal and so gentle, so unspeak-
ably patient as you do now we
have criticised you and disregard
cd your wishes for us. we nave
forgotten the little courtesies dear
10 YOU and have hidden our honest
feelings about you. Worst OF ALL
we have lied TO you and have mur-
dered love. But that is all past
Now we know that you are the most
wonderful people in the world you
women of America. We know that
we belong together, you and we,
and that il is you and we agalns.

--oRpER APPLIES TO ALL
OF 164 SYSTEMS.
Suggestions Of Wage Body Carried
Out, But Hours Of Work Are Not
To Be Reduced-Retroactiv to Last
January I.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Gener pay increases
for nearly two million railroad en-
ployes were announced by Director
General McAdOo, retroactive to last
January /, carrying out substantially
recommendations Of the Railway
Wage Commission. The aggregate oi
the increases probably will be more
than $500. 100000 a year, half Of which
will be distributed within q few weeks
as back pay In lump sums ranging
from about 500 to nearly 5000 each
The Director General departed from
the Wage Commissions recommends
tions in the following particulars:
The principle of the basic eight-hour
day is recognized. but owing TO exigen
cies Of the war situation, hours Of en-
ployment are not actually reduced and
overtime is to be paid pro rata; future
readjustments Of pay are to be made
on the basis OF eight hours.
In addition to the ordinary scale OF
increase. day laborers, employed main
ly on track work, are to get At least
2h cents an hour more than they re-
ceived last December 81. A minimum
OF SIS cents an hour 10 established for
the shop trades including machinists,
boiler makers and blacksmiths; and
women are to receive the same pay as
men for the same work, and negroes
are to get the same as white men for
similar employment. To work out a
multitude OF inequalities of pay among
employees doing similar work in differ
ent localities, and other injustices
caused by varying rules OF employ
ment and cor fition OF organization
the Director General created a new
Board of Railroad Wages and Working
Conditions, consisting Of three labor
representatives and three railway ex
ecutives, which will conduct extensive
Investigations and recommend wage
and other employment changes.
All increases now ordered will be de
termined according to a percentage
scale, asef on pay received in Decem
Der. 1915. and any increases which
have been allowed within that time
will be deducted. In many cases
raises in pay in the last two and halt
years are about equal TO the increases
now approved. and consequently :hos,
employees will get little or no more
To correct just such situations, when
injustices are apparent, will be one OF
the principal duties of the new wage
board. whose creation was suggested
by the Railway Wage Commission. In
no cases are wages TO be reduced.
