Are American Women Spoiled? ?

The women of Great Britain at the
outset Of the war crowded at the rate of
100000 day to register at employment.
offices for mems work and release the
men for fighting. The end of the first
year of war found twelve miles of NUM-
ton factories just outside Of London
operated entirely by women. Gretna
Green, the haven of eloping lovers, be-
came "a city of girls" who now make
half of England's powder.
By October, 1916, $4,000 women had
directly replaced men in industry and
sent the men to war. Many of these
were performing work it had never been
plsh; many Of them were engaged in
operations, such as the manufacture of
cordite, wherein a single false move
ment might mean death to all near by.
BY October, 1918, 4,538,00O were en-
ployed under government jurisdiction
alone-and this is exclusive of domestic,
farm and small workshop labor and of
military, naval and Red Cross service.
Over 100000 are in munition factories.
At the front they are represented in
every capacity save only the actual
fighting in the trenches. And from fac
tory managers to prime ministers the
word is that the women have saved old
England"
What answer, then, shall American
women make TO the employment manager
of great munition factory who is
quoted in the columns of this paper as
saying that American women are refus-
ing to do their share of the munition
work of this country? That so per cent
of the female employees in our plants
here arc British and only Is per cent ma
tive Americans? What reply is there to
the threat of conscription of female
labor for the work without which the
war cannot be won?
When women volunteered in England
Englands armies were fighting with
their back to the wall. Are the grim
realities of war needed as fuel for the
full flame of sacrifice?

The I
Disobedient

TO tho Editor of The Tribune.
CN1R: Since the President has undertaken
to descend from his high office to the
arena of practical partisan politics, |
am constrained to set forth the views l
now hold and have held for some time past,
but which can now be stated with perfect
propriety:
1st If to be pro-war to the bitter end, to
unconditional surrender" is to be "anti-
Administration" 80 be it. The distinction
is the Presidents.
3D. The fourteen points and extracts
from certain addresses Of the President
a basis for peace with the Tcutonic govern
mcnts and their allies are pregnant with
danger because of their ertainty, the alb
stract principles stated therein and the
various interpretations that are possible in
constituting them.
Sd. Let us substitute unconditional
surrender" as a phrase and condition
precedent that can be understood by our
allies, by our enemies, the neutral nations
and the world at large.
Ith. The form and matter of the recent
peace notes of the President are not salts
factory. Many times recently VIC have had
to make believe in our minds that they were
Founded on the fourteen points and certain
abstract gencralities, they have seemed all
too acceptable to Germany and its leaders;
indeed, during the recent peace ovcrtures
such was the response by the populacc of
Berlin to one of the Presidents notes
would only be approximatcd by the joy and
enthusiasm given to news Of a victory on
the field Of battle.
We arc weary with having TO quiet an
inquiring mind and a pcrturbed intuition
with that most unsatisfactory argument Of
decrepit age, at will come out all right"

A Woman Turns Auay

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Next month will cast my first vote
a woman voter in New York State. In
the great win the war" aim of America
l have been absorbed, to the exclusion Of
political differences, until President viii
son noted them last week. had felt us
nation united. I saw Republicans, Demo
Gratis and Socialists sending our boys to the
front; saw them serving and working with
an abandon that proved how wholly we up
held this land for which we gave our best.
Then across this great vision suddenly
the President of the United States has
thrown party shadow. He has taken the
brnming cup of nations sacrifice and
protests that only part of it is to his
taste.
The woman voter sadly turns away.

Germany's Great War Prize

With all her defeats and checkmates,
the melting of the dream of Mittel-
europa, of an empire through to the
Indian Ocean, the larger economic con-
quest of the empire to the north is all but
within the grasp of Germany. Is this why
she is precipitately seeking peace? 1t is
something to consider Reflect little
upon the pawns. Belgium has six or
seven millions. How much would it
profit Germany to have economic con-
troll of this little country? The coal
fields of Lorraine are of great value, but
they may appear insignificant when the
great wealth of Eastern and Southeast
ern Russia is developed to the same de-
gree. The coal mines of France are of
no great moment compared with Ger
many's own. But to have free run of
the largest empire in the western world,
to control the products and the trade of
a nation of 100000 ,000-this would be a
prize beyond the fondest dreams of the
pan-Germanists of four years ago.
From sundry reports which have come
back from that distracted lard we know
that the Germans have been making pro-
digious efforts to fasten their tentacles
upon Russia so wide and deep that they
can never be shaken loose. They have
bought up the factories, the banks, the
lines of portaton-cverything that
they could lay their hands on, and. of
course, not at bargain prices, but at
panic prices. 1t was a marvellous op-
portunity to sack nation under the full
protection of commercial law! Why
does Germany seek the peace table now?
Is it merely fright, the threat of retri-
button to come, or is it a shrewd percep-
ton that perhaps now is the ideal mo-
ment to bargain PROSTATE Russia for
the peace of Europe? What else is be-
hind the furtive talk of opening "nego-
tiations"?
And note the cunning with which the
German leaders now seize upon the
Presidents peace terms precisely to
grasp and hold this splendid prize
complete autonomy for the different
races and peoples" "the removal of all
economic barriers''--no bar, in brief. to
the hordes of German hucksters who
have bought up everything in Russia
worth buying save the land! What an
ideal opportunity for Germany to clinch
her possessions.
Here, as we see it, is one of the great
est of the Allies problems If Germany
can gain at the peace table only an in
nocent "hands off" in the north, self
determination, mo economic BARRIERS"
she will have carried off the great prize.

The Pacifst Slogan

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: am a Republican, and such am
proud of the fact that entered the polls,
looked straight across the street at two
posters labelled respectively "He has kept
us out of war" and "He has protected me
and mine" and straightway cast a straight
Republican and, as subsequent events have
to my satisfaction proved, straight Amer
lean vote.
Such were the means employed at that
time by the Administration. Is it then SO
difficult to interpret so exhaustive a prop
aganda as that in use at this present da.e
by the same Administration Our su
prcmc representative, nevertheless, was re-
turned a winner in 1916. BY a margin too
close to be taken as a collective vote Of
confidence, the people Of these United States
chose for their leaders those who were con-
tent in their belief that there could be
such thing nation being too proud to
fight" and who echoed the sentiment that
"this wild talk of preparedness was the
result of hystcria, brought on by the bah
bling of such fcebe-visioned men as Roose-
welt and Leonard Wood"
The national Democratic party did with
out doubt play upon the undoubtedly pacific
temper of this country at that time and
succeeded, as such success goes. But this
country is not pacific now, although the
President has assumed the role of inter-
locutor in controversy that the press of
the country almost unanimously agrees
should have been completely avoided, if
only out of respect to the people of the
country, upon whom unspeakable embarrass-
ment has been occasoned and at most
unthinkable moment. My dear fellow cit-
zcns, you arc called upon to vote in Dem
ocratic Senate and Democratic House
and Tor what? That very same question
confronted the country in 1916. Are you
entitled to the privilege of vote? Then,
for Gods sake, be Americans. J.RF
