not been spared as to strength in the
matter of handling the freight of the
railroads throughout the empire. They
have not hesitated to go down into
shipyards to undertake the heroic part
of mending the boats which have suf-
fered the ravages of the submarine.
Women are largely and appropriately
employed in reupholstering the big
ships, and with the same ease they
have adapted themselves to the task
of laying electric wires. In brass
foundries they have learned to manip-
u;ate the molten metal with ease and
dexterity and in iron foundries they
are not shrinking from the use of the
bellows and hammer.
These are only few of the heavier
and more unusual forms of manual
work to which the women of England
have set their hands to save the day
| for their country. From Canada come
reports of women entering many fields
of labor hitherto closed to them. Ii

ability to perform profitable work in
the market garden, orchards and even
in the grain fields. Their work was
done by the day, and in few cases,
groups of women formed farming
units and established camps in the
agricultural neighborhoods where
there was a shortage of man power.
At the beginning of the season the
farmers treated the feminine offers
with some scorn. but before harvest
the women had become a valuable
agricultural asset in the farming sec
tons of New York and New Jersey.
This phase of woman's work has been
deemed especially well fitted to fem
mime hands, and many delicate women
have found themselves growing strong
at their open air tasks.
Openings for women in the less
arduous lines of city work are to be
found in the elevator, messenger, and
kindred forms of unskilled labor left
open by the men and boys called to
military duty. The telephone and tele-
graph companies are calling for wom-
en- to aid them in their extending serv-
ices, and the banks are admitting
women to their offices.
Safeguarding Health
With women crowding into industry
the Government realizes the necessity
for the exercise of protective meas
ures in the matter of safeguarding the
health of the women. limiting their
hours of labor and setting a wage
standard for them. It believes that
to save wastage of woman strength
is even more essential than to avoid
waste of materials. Measures are be-
ing taken by the Department of La
Dor and by the Council of National
Defense to set standards for women
in industry not only to meet the pres

structions in connection with the vari-
GUS branches in which there is need
for woman labor. Women are rapidly
replacing men as ticket agents, as
freight clerks and as package check
ers, and are performing their work
with satisfaction to their employers.
n the yards and shops women have
already demonstrated themselves as
the equals, and in many cases as the
superiors, of men as car cleaners.
A note of warning has been issued
in connection with the employment of
women in railroad labor in the United
States. In their eagerness to take
work abandoned by the men who have
gone into military service they have
overlooked the limit placed on fem
mime strength. It was found by in
vestigators that in some of the rail
road yards women were being en-
ployed to sort scrap metal, in the op-
Grafton of which they were compelled
to lift loads far beyond their strength.
Committees on Women in Industry are
taking an active interest in this fea-
ture of women in war work.
The Policewoman.
The policewoman of the Uaited
States, largely a product of the war
emergency, has come to stay, and it
is readily understood that this is a
beneficial innovation. In connection
with the increase to women laborers,
statistics recently sent out from De
troit show that within late months
the increase in women service en-
ployed in factories and workshops is
almost three times greater than that
of men.
To the women in the agricultural
districts the farm offers an exceptional
| opportunity for service. Women in

Woman Committee.
To bring about the maximum of eff
fectiveness of the woman power of
the country, the Council of National
Defense has created a woman's or
ganization which will provide &C
curate information upon labor condi-
tons as they relate to women in all
parts of the country. The organiza-
ton is known as the Committee on
Women in Industry of the Advisory
Commission of the Council of Ma
tionaI Defense. This is practically
subcommittee of the Committee on
Labor of the Council of National De-
Tense, which is headed by the labor
leader, Samuel Gompers.
This Committee has membership
of "a women, 35 of whom are repre-
sentatives of labor. The remainder
are experts on labor problems and
representatives of the employers and
the general public. The executive
committee, consisting of thirteen
members, has it's Office in the head
quarters of the Council of National
Defense at Washington. where it is -

agencies interested in women in in

The officers and executive commit
tee of this Committee on Women in
Industry are Mrs. J. Borden Harri-
man, chairman; Miss Edith Campbell,
vice-chairman; Mrs. Y. Everit Macy,
treasurer; Miss Pauline Goldmark,
secretary: Miss Amy HeWes. executive

In The Fields.
In the farming districts throughout
the whole of warning Europe and in
Canada, women have put their hands
to the plow and have not turned back
by reason of obstacles which in normal
times would have been as an iron bar
rier against their woman strength.
They have sowed, reaped and harvest
ed with the spirit and determination
displayed by their men on the fields of
bS55fc.
In this, as in other countries, wom-
en- have taken their places as chauf-
feurs, as car drivers, even as express
men, stepping automatically into the
breach made by departure of men
workers into the Army. As automo-
bile operators they are applying them
selves not only to driving cars, but are
studying the mechanism from the
scientific and mechanical point of
view and are making good at their
task.
Throughout the United States rail-
roads are employing women IN many
capacities, and in the interest of eff
cheney they are opening schools of in

guns they do not discover the camp
or trench of the men.
At another place a supply train was
painted to represent a row of cot
tages and went through without
mishap from the enemies aeroplanes.
Over and over, guns made from sec
tons of telegraph poles and the fore
truck of wagon with boards for gun
shields have foiled the Germans. One
particular stunt of the French is to
put a couple Of ounces of gunpowder
on tin shelf at the muzzle and fire
it by electricity, especially when the
real gun is being fired elsewhere. The
dummy gun always tempts the enemy
to waste many rounds of perfeetly
good live shell and wears out his
energy as we'll, for there is nothing so
disheartening to a military man as
to discover that he has been fooled.
Machine guns are hidden by the
emplacements being covered by sod
care being taken that no sod be re-
moved nearby. Dummy trenches are
! built in places which will not endan-
| ger the real position. The French Of
ten cover these dummy trenches with
the limbs of trees which soon wither.
This, of course, gives the enemy an
idea that the trenches were concealed
by tree limbs which have withered
and they invariably open fire on the
dummies. Early in the war the way
ing plumes and white gloves of the
men proved excellent targets for the
German gunners and had to be aban-
doned. Pretty soon trench warfare
became the all important way of fight
ing and concealment became neces-
sary. Artists of all ranks were called
to assist and camouflage became one
of the important branches of the army

PEACE THROUGH UN-

Of all the deliberately worded peace

there has only been enc worthy of oul

to a French commanding general by
eager Bulgarian ENJOYS who came
crying:

Bulgaria didn't write circular
note to the Entente Powers, intimat
ing that something should be done in
the name of humanity or that there
was much to be said on both sides,
or that a dispassionate lecture course
at The Hague would 90 much to

To the Prussian mind negotiation
is merely another word for evasion.
Were the doves of Potsdam cooling
peace by negotiation in 1914 when
the heavy German boots were stamp

forth to conquer the world, carrying
her terms of peace behind her fam.

dawned upon her that there was such
a thing as broad humapitarianism and
justice for friend and foe alike.
