latter phrase IS getting about popu-
lar as Get me Steve'") With the sub
jet as broad and comprehensive it is
safe to proceed without fear Of conse-
auences. 1t is evening now and the sun
is slowly sinking in the west and the
rays of the evening light fluctuate over
the waving blades of grass on the Eng
lish hillside - appears like myriad of
diamonds and it's truly beautiful to be-
hold (Spring always affects me this
way. but to go on) the fantastic beauty
of the English rural district Is truly
wonderful and ! would not attempt with
my inadequate English to describe it to
YOU with any degree of elahorateness it
deserves because of the fact paper is
too scarce and I have other things to
take up in the brief % article Pardon
the depression at this point.
It Is but natural in this connection
that I should discuss with you the fact
which is most intimately connected
with sociology and its relationships aft
er the conclusion OF the war. Already
in this country and other warning ma
tions OF Europe women are rapidly tax
ing the positions formerly open only to
men and IT is safe TO say that having
secured a footing in all phases of bust
ness and public life they will continue
to hold them. So here ! wish 20 say in
regards to conditions in America that
the time Is soon coming when the bulk
OF business and public life will fall to
the lot Of women because for the next
several generations mans sphere viii be
r1iIitaristfc If VIC are to accomplish the
ideals we are fighting for and main
tain them IN the ages to come. Labor
and capital must come into its share.
and so We tackle Il without hesitation or
fear and we will attempt TO adjust mat
ters in the briefest and most concise
manner. At the end OF the war a most
settling effect will result. The laboring
man will come into his own and capital
viii have TO lay down her golden crown
and walk hand in hand with her equal,
and in many respects superior, labor.
Wage scales viii adjust themselves by
evolution rather than by revolution. and
so viii lasting good be accomplished
Democracy Will have achieved her
triumph and the world will be saved
for itself and the war Will not have
been fought in vain.
now pass to lighter phases of
thought and attempt to tell you some
thing Of the pleasures and friviious side
of the English life in wartime. 1t was

the other boys to 90 to one of the Janus
summer resorts on the southern coast a
short time 60. and can assure you we
had such a time that made you forget
there was a war good hotel, excel
lent meals. pretty girls. thousands of
visitors parading the long concrete
walks hundreds out on the piers which
run out for hundreds Of yards into the
|! ocean. Thousands in bathing even II
the water was ~ degrees and cloth was
, short where they make bathing suits.
I would attempt to describe one of these
suits that the ladies wear over here but
I'm a little afraid you would not under
stand, so I'll either bring one when
return or I will make you one in five
minutes It's q simple matter If YOU
know how. I am a close observer and
am pretty certain that I know how to
, make one.

Gliding whether I would suffer you an
