Along with the Encouragement of

Germany has tried to Justify the SUD-
Murine attacks Oh hospital ships hy
charges that they were used for other
purposes, particularly the transport OF
troons and munitions. 1t was char
acteristic begging of the question.
The British White Book, dealing with
these charges. offers convincing evil
tlence CT their falsity. It points OF;
the obvious fact that if they had becn
true there was an easy way of prov
ing them. The submarines had only
to stop and search the ships. In o:ly
one case was this attempted. and then
the papers were found to be in order
and the vessel was allowed to pro-
coed. The plain truth Of the matter
is that German methods of warfare.
whether on sea or land, have become
so brutal that all the restrictions i'm
posed by law and humanity have been
deliberately disregarded. Hospital
ships have been sunk and hospitals
behind the lines have been bombed.

Rebecca West, an EnglishwOnlan
working for the British government,
writes in the New Republic: "The
woman munition-maker has lifted a
load from the minds of feminists. For
although we talked about the eco
nomic independence of women and the
injustice of paying women lower
wages than men for equal work, we
did not really know whether women
were capable Of equal work. We
hoped that the inferior position &C.
cupied by women in practically every
part Of the Industrial world except
the textile trades could be explained
! by their lack of technical training
and by the physical depression caused
by underpayment and the consequent
underfeeding, but we could not be
certain. We are quite sure now.
Women are good timekeepers; they
can endure long hours; they can do
work that requires delicacy of eye
and hand; they are careless Of dan
ger; they are in every respect save
that Of muscular strength as useful as
men,"

M'KINLEY'S CHOICE OF MEN TO SIT AT
 1898 PEACE BOARD
By HOLLAND

New York, November 23.-(Special) President Wilson will, it is presumed by those who are speaking with great in. terest about his selection of the Ameri- can peace commission, turn to the rec ord which tells of President Mckinley's action when the terms of peace with Spain were to be arranged or written in Paris in the fall of 1898.
 It was known at the time that Me Kinley's first choice as member of the peace commission was his Secretary of State, Judge Day, now a member of the supreme court bench. Mckinley felt that as the Senate would be called upon to ratify any treaty which was written in Paris 1t was especially expedient that he should name as commissioners two or three senator's His first thought was of George k. Hoar, senator from Mass achusetts. He gave, however, Senator Hoar's name as brief consideration as he did two and half years earlier when for few days he contemplated nomi- hating Senator Hoar as Secretary of the Treasury He selected from the Senate William F. Frye, senator from Maine, with whom his personal associations had been most intimate for years, Cushman Davis, senator from Minnesota, for whom Mckinley had high regard both person. ally and for his abilities in the field of international law, and George Gray, senator from Delaware For Judge Gray McKinleys esteem was great, and when he decided that it was inevitable that

are living.
 Should President Wilson take some heed of the precedents set by Mckinley he may think it expedient to name the Sec retary of State, MT. Lansing, as one of the commissioners. unless it is deemed the better part for the President, ig- noring the precedents, to go to Ver- sailles himself Following McKinley's precedent President Wilson is likely to go to the Senate for two at least and possibly three of the members of the commission, and 1t is the understanding in this city that he will also turn to the supreme court bench and name Jus tice Brandeis as one of the members Of the commission, there being, in addition for surmisng that the President has been seriously considering the appoint ment of Judge Hughes as a member of the commission, there ping, in addition to the recognition of Judge Hughes a5>>> ity somewhat sentimental association with him, due to the fact that he was the candidate of the republican party foi President in 1916.
 The best opinion seems to be that who- ever composes the American commission, the work which will be entailed upon the representatives of all the allied gov- ernments at the peace conference will be so difficult, so delicate and will in- volve such far-reaching consequences that at least a year is likely to pars be- fore the treaty is in the hands or tho Senate for ratification.

 camps and schools. In view of the fact that demobilization is expected to ex- tend over d considerable period these appointees and others are likely to re- tain their billets for a long time Among those now serving in this capacity are included:
 Lawrence O'Connor, athletic director for the aviation school at Pau, where the commandant has ordered all men on duty there to devote three-quarters of an hour each day to sports. Mir. O'Connor comes from New York city. At Camp Du Ger. R. l.. Wiggin has assumed charge of the athletic programme. He comes from Limerick, Maine, is a Bowdoin college graduate, and was superintendent of schools before taking up Y. M. c. A. work in France. Raymond l.. Carnes of Omaha is directing sports at Agen, an- other training center in the southern part of France. He is a Dartmouth man and was supervisor of physical education in Omaha. The experience gained in his work at home has enabled him to achieve signal success among the French stu dents placed under his charge.
