president described as a safeguard
against renewed hostilities.

HOME FOR
FRENCH CHILDREN
American Society Has Taken Over
Chateau of French Noble Killed
In Air Battle, And Will Aid Of
phans.

While French war widows are find
ing work which will ena BILE them to
support themselves and their little
ones, the children will be cared Tor
by the American committee for de-
vastated France at a great center now
being established at the Chateau or
Boullay-Thierry. Information regard
ing the plans Of the committee. which
is doing much to make the labor sup
ply Of France more effective, has
reached the department Of labor.
| The French children at present are
placed in an unfortunate position. for
their fathers are in the army and
their mothers can not at first earn
enough in new trades to support
themselves and their children. The
committee therefore has decided to
wider for the little ones, and to care
for them until the fathers are demob-
ilized or the mothers acquire sufficient
skill to provide for a family.
The present h sadquarters of the
colony is at Beaumont Roger, but
the now location will provide much
better quarters. The Chateau OF Boul-
lay-Thierry belonged to the young
Comte de Quinsannas. an aviator. who
was killed about a year ago. eight
days before the time set for his mar
riage He left the chateau to the min
istry of war and the American COM
mttee has been given full rights to
it and 10 the ten acres of park sur
rounding it.
Hundreds of applications are com
ing in from mothers who wish to
place children there.

WOMEN EMPLOYED IN
PITTSBURG ARSENAL

Women have now found their way
into Pittsburg war industries. The
shortage of labor in the district led
to their employment at the big Butler
arsenal. where they are acting as
common laborers and relieving men
who have some experience in me-
chanical work to dilute" the labor
supply for the more skilled processes.
The women give highly satisfactory
service. according to the manage
ment Of the arsenal, and it Is likely
that eventually women may he en-
ployed extensively in the Pittsburg
district The department Of labor is
now working on detailed plans where
by dilution can be applied most effec-
lively in industry.

SOME EFFECTS OF THE WAR
ON NEWSPAPERS OF
AMERICA.

! Providence, R. i, Nov. IA
The Merchants National Bank
of this city has issued the fol-
lowing letter to it's customers
showing the effects Of the war
upon the newspapers Of Amer
lea: -at.*s HaslIg
Eight hundred and fifty
newspapers in the United States
have been forced to suspend
|since the beginning Of the war,
lowing to the advance in the cost
Iof labor and news print paper.
Two hundred and fifty daily
newspapers have been forced to
consolidate so as to reduce oper-
ating expenses sufficiently to en-
liable them to keep going.
''The principal increase in
publication costs has been due
to the extraordinary rise in news
print paper, which has advanced
300 or 400 per cent within four
years, publishers experiencing
much difficulty in obtaining
necessary supplies even at these
unprecedented prices.
!. Publishers are being COM
PEELED to reduce the size Of their
