HUSBAND GONE-SONS GONE
HOME AND RELATIVES GONE
A Fact Story Telling Just What the Red Cross
Did for Nine. PeIlier.
BY an Eye Witness
MAUDE RADFORD WARREN

This is the picture l saw last Janu-
airy in France,-and you have mercI-
fully changed ltl Color enough there
waS-abOve, the eternal blue; in the
background, fields of living green,
which the German shells could not
prevent from creeping back; in tho
middle foreground, n long village
street so battered and burned that
It was merely a canyon Of crcam-col-
ored ruins In front OF one little
black-an old woman, pokIng among
the fallen stones in vain search for
something that could be used; a
younger woman, seated on what had
once been a doorstep, with her face
hidden In her arms and little boy
and girl, who stared, half frightened,
half curious, ut the desolation about
them. The little boy held IN his thin
hand n Red Cross flag. All four were
pale and gaunt; the faces and bodies
OF the children showed none of the
round curves that make the beauty Of
a child.
This Is their history: When the
war broke out. Nine. Pcllier. her
mother and her four younger children
were visiting her husbands mother In
the north OF France. Her husband
and two elder sons were at home In
Lorraine tnking care Of the summer
crops Then the war! The mother
ln-law OF Nine. PclIicr was III and
could not be left. Her old mother
was afraid to travel to Lorraine with
the full care OF the four children. Be
fore they could all start together the
Germans invaded. Bad news is allow
ed TO come info northern France, and
so as the months passed Mime. Pcllier
learned that her village home had been
bombarded and that her husband and
two sons had been killed Except for
the Belgian Relief Commission. which
operates I'm northern France also. she
and her little ones would have starved
outright At tho best they were I'M

was refused. She tried to seek safety

Home gone: husband gone; brave

REHEARING ASKED IN
STATE WATER LAW CASE

CARSON CITY, May "a petition
for a rehearing in the case of the
Vineyard Land and Livestock COM
pany against the fourth judicial dis
trict court and the state engineer has
been filed in the state supreme court.
II is the case involving the constitu-
tionality of the state water law, the
validity OF which was upheld by the
court in a decision filed two months
ago. A dissenting opinion in which
the law is held unconstitutional was
filed by Chief Justice McCarran.
The petition for rehearing, filed by
Carey Van Fleet of Elko representing
the Vineyard company, maintains that
the law is unconstitutional because it
authorizes the state engineer to ad-
judicate water rights for administra.
tive purposes but for the purpose of
having property rights determined
and established and because it seeks
to diyest the district courts of their
original jurisdiction of determining
the title or right OF possession OF real
property.

WON EN- AND
WAR WORK

AS regards the ability of women to
perform hard physical tasks, the ex-
perience of the 25s,0O0 women en-
ployed on English farms is enlighten-
ing. Miss Helen Fraser. of London,
author of Women and War Work"
say shat most of these girls improve
in health and practically all increase
in weight. BY breaking her in gradu-
ally, the average girl becomes in a
few weeks capable OF ordinary work
on a farm.
The farmers of England now admit
that women can do three quarters Of
the farm work. They still give their
heaviest tasks to men. however. so
that the equal physical ability of wo-
men is not demonstrated. 1t is not
yet clear that women can do such
heavy stunts of lifting as are found in
railroad yards and many factories.
DR.. E. O'Neill Kane, a noted sur.
geon, in a recent pamphlet discussing
this question, takes the position that
women could perform most of these
heavy tasks If they would train for il
by suitable exercises. He favors put
ting them into gymnasiums for pre-
liminary practice on trapeze. rings
bars, etc. He feels that women mus
to an extent masculinize themselves
to come through successfully. He
would favor having them cut theil
hair, wear clothing that could no
catch in machinery, give up the USE
OF corsets and high heels.
Women could greatly improve thei
muscular ability by such a training
as is suggested above. nat as a mat
ter of practice, it is doubtful If man.
OF them would be willing to undertake
such a course of training. There i
great danger that they will go int
these heavy tasks heedlessly an
without due preparation, and suffe
some serious injury before they rea
ize II. For this reason some legal lin
itation on the lifting of heavy weight
by women workers seems a reason
able proposition for the present.

PITTMAN SAYS
KAISER HAS DE-
SIGNS ON AMERICA
StirS BaItimoreanS To Huge
Subscriptions to Liberty Loan
BY Stirring Address AT '0ver
There" Exhibition

United States Senator Key Pittman
of Nevada. speaking at the "Over
There" exhibition last night to an au-
dience which packed the Fifth Regi-
ment Armory, gave a word picture Of
the horrors that may be realized in
this country in the event that we fail
to defeat the kaiser in France. His
warning TO the American people
against apathy in the purchase of the
Third Liberty Bonds so impressed
the audience that following his ad-
dress there was a general rush OF
subscriptions to the bonds.
The senator made the startling
statement that at present the govern
ment is sending overseas American
soldiers at the rate of 10000 a month,
and that II necessary in order to win
the war, 1t would continue pouring
men into France until 1t had at least
100000 of our soldiers over there
He cautioned the people against Civ
ing credence to the talk that we would
not have to fight the Germans on oul
own shores should we and our allies
fail to crush PTussianism in Europe
and in substantiation of that state
ment asked the audience to take q
glance at the past history Of Ger
many's wars. He lambasted the
kaiser and his associates for theil
conquest Of blood and for their in
human treatment of innocent womeT
and children in France and Belgium
and reminded his audience that those
brutalities and inhuman acts woulC
pale into insiGnifiCance should the
way be left for the war to be brought
20 America.
