The demand that women shall be

represent a desire for justice rather
than desire for gain; but money
fairly earned is sweet to the hand and

no handicap, no favors and the same
goal for all" Which reminds us that
Sir Thomas More had clearer per-
ception of the value Of woman's work
and finer sense of justice than some
Of his sex possess. "My Meg is better

TERMS VERY DRASTIC
Austria Must Furnish Munitions
to Fight Germany.

Turkey Were Not Nearly
So Harsh.

Washington, Nov 5.-The duel mon
archy. the la.t and most powerful ally
of Germany. has passed out of the
world war under terms of abject sur
render.
Not only have the armed forces of
the once-powerful Austro- Hungarian
power laid down their arms to await
the end of the war and peace terms
dictated by the Allies and the United
States, but Austro- Hungarian territory
is open for operations against Ger
many.
Even the munitions Of the former
ally are to be used against the kaiser's
armies II refusal to accept conditions
now being prepared for them make
prolonged fighting necessary.
Thorough Beating Administered.
The terms which stopped the victor
ious advance on the Italian front were
accepted by the Austrian commander
in-chief in the field in the name of the
Vienna government, and their execu.
ton is guaranteed by the thorough
beating already administered, which
had converted the defeated army into
a disorganized, fleeing horde.
Even the terms imposed previously
on Bulgaria and Turkey hardly were
