AMERICAN WOMAN WHO SERVE.

Great Britain is Justly proud OF the
English woman in war. They have
speakers in this country now who are
lccturing on the "Woman s Army in
England and Franco and "Thc Mu-
milton Workers of Britain. The
American people, generally speaking,
do not realize that they have just such
an army, the "Womcn s Industrial
Army but they have it, one million,
five hundred thousand strong, and it is
for this army that the Y. w. G.. "A. is
working.
under the leadership of the Y. w.
G. a. these workers have taken the
following pledge, which speaks for
itself and shows how fine and true is
the spirit of the munition worker of
America and how worthy she is of any
good thing which the Y. w. C. a.
or any other organization may do for
her:
1T is my desire to serve to the best
Of my capacity in the ranks of the
Women's Industrial Army, Second
Line of Defense pledge my loyalty
to my country, and I pledge to eX-
press that loyalty by promoting in every
way possible the spirit of service and
good will in my work and community.

Senator Hitchcock, chairman Of the
foreign relations committee, came to
the rescue OF the President. He de-
clarcd the President never has tried
TO settle the war alone. On janu0I
s, he took Congress into his confidence
in a speech in which he outlined the
minimum Of acceptable peace terms
"Was any opposition raised to those
terms at that time? Did any one rise
to question those terms? On the con-
trary Republicans and Dcmocratcs al
most as with one voice acclaimed the
speech as correct statement OF the
attitude Of the United States.
Hitchcock then read published state
ments by Republican Senators follow
ing the January speech, in which they
endorsed it.
He then took up what he said was
"a partisan effort to make political
capital out Of article 8 OF the Prcs!-
dents IA peace terms"

ing to the commissioners, will be
$4,000 for the widening of North

Huns Not Wanted Here;
immigration to Be Curbed

With Germany crushed and beat
en- into insensibility, from hence
forth a second or third rate power;
with Germany bending double un-
der a frightful load of debt and
overwhelmed with gloom; with
Germany the prey of BolsheNist
terrorists, who will find it quite as
easy TO plunder and murder Ger
mans in the years that are TO come
as it has been to rob ana XIII
Frenchmen and Belgians in the
years that are past-with all these
things happening in Germany, 1t
may be assumed that large numbers
of the inhabitants of that wretched
country will make an attempt TO
leave il at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Where will they go2
Surely not TO any of the allied
countries in Europe or TO their col
onies-not Just now. Not even 10
the new nations that are being born
out of the wreck of Austria Hungary.
Not to any OF the countries with
which Germany was allied. for these
countries will be revolutionary, pau
per lands for years to come. Is 1t
not, therefore, reasonable TO sup
pose that many of them will try TO
come TO America?
America has plenty of room for
immigrants. America wants inn
migrants. America is rich. Amer
lea is orderly and free. America is
easy, tolerant. long suffering and
quick to forgive. These facts can
hardly be overlooked by the Cor
man who has it in mind TO leave
Germany. 1t is accordingly likely
that he shall very soon have to de-
eide what attitude shall be toward
Wa ura fhprp1 NJ
not?
Most emphatically we do not want
those German soldiers who during
the four years last past have looted
homes. tortured prisoners. raped
women, and bayoneted babies. In
other words, We do not at least
nine out of ten German eN-sOldiers.
Further we do rot want any one
from Germany who defends now or
ever has defended the fiendish Hun
fighting of the Kaiser's barbarous
Government. Such people would be
dangerous citizens. Given the op-
portunity, they would meet certain
ly commit in America the crimes
they have committed or condoned
in Europe.
Undoubtedly there are still decent
men and women in Germany. But
they are very greatly in the minor
ity There is no reason why we
should oppose the immigration of
this class. But those who are de-
cent cannot object If we demand
proof of their decency before we
permit them to come in. Their
examination should be rigid. If
there is the slightest evidence that
u would-be immigrant has commit
ted or condoned atrocities during
this war, or that he believes Ger
many was in the right in her attack
on civilization. he should not be
permitted to enter our gates.

rooms. For time. conscientious
hotel proprietors complied with the
request. but the increased amount
OF drunkenness among soldiers is
sufficient evidence to the police that
the saloonmen have relaxed their
vigilance.
At conference with Mayor
Keister some time ago, representa-
tives of the local liquor dispensers
and retailers, agreed to do ali in
their power to curb the pernicious
practice of bootlegging. Mayor Keis-
ter said to-day they have conformed
to their agreement for the most part
but there are many saloonkeepers
who persist in selling liquor to be
carried away from their premises
without making any effort TO de-
termine the responsibility of the
purchasers.
MIR. Keister said that with the
slight relaxation of discipline attend
ant upon the signing of the armi-
stiCe, and with the great influx Of
soldiers home on leave for the holi-
days, and still others coming home
following their discharge, the cam
paign against bootlegging must be
carried on without letup. He pointed
out that even following their dis
charge, eX-soldiers and sailors may
not purchase liquor as long as they
wear the uniform OF the army or
navy.
Bootleggers have beens heavily
fined in the police campaign to
break up the business here.

Williams Tells Senate Two
Nations Are Equipped by
Sea Power and Resources

Washington.-A league of nations
consisting of the United States and
the British Empire, which other
nations might join or fail to join
as they pleased, but which could
dominate the world and enforce
peace through sea power and con-
troll of raw materials, was suggested
in the Senate today as n very prac-
tical solution of the problem of
maintaining the worlds peace by
John Sharp Williams, Il member OF
the Foreign Relations Committee
and probably President Wilson's
closest friend in the upper house.
Believing that what Mr.. Williams
was saying may have been inspired
by the President. who it is thought
talked with the Mississippi Senator
on this question. and with him only
of the entire membership of Con-
gress, Senators pricked up their ears
at this suggestion.
