marinettes as the girl clerks of the marines
sometimes called, is feminized version of the
marine uniform, with overseas cap and tailored
jacket When duty the marinette wears the
uniform at all times as per orders from headquar-
tiers, but when off duty she is exempted from the
ruling that all fighting forces shall wear the uni
form at all times in time of war.
Clerks of the war department have only

why shouldn't have uniform" This zE-1+-
form proposition has been placed before the young
women employed in the department branches
and it is found that the majority in favor of
wearing a uniform. Several models selected
and displayed pretty young clerks before the
general staff and a committee of department
girls. The girls quickly picked out a silver brown
suit with bronze buttons and soft, hemet-shaped
hat, but the general staff withheld opinion as to
the advisability of any uniform. 1t rests with
the staff whether the department girls will
appear in the dress they have chosen. Even if the
verdict is favorable it is doubtful if an edct will
put the entire feminine staff of the depart
ment into uniform. The tentative plan is to per-
nit the wearing of the uniform a sort of merit
badge by girls who have been in service for GER
tain length of time and whose work has been sat

From the girls point of view, uniform is an
advantage to an office worker, because it identi-
fies her as in war service Then, too it has de-
cided effect upon the herself. AS one girl
in uniform puts it, war work seems more i'm
portant when you wear uniform
Women are willing and eager to wear uni
form for the same reason that a wishes to
wear one. 1t is a badge of service-in this case,
of service to the country. Women are wearing
uniforms in order to render the most efficient
service, but this does not indicate that they will
continue to standardized dress when the
pressing need for it is
In time of peace, uniforms are associated
largely with conductors bell boys and maids. Now
and again radical supporter of dress reform in
cites publicity and humorous comment by advo-
eating that civilized woman a standardized

drapery, modified mans apparel with skirt
substituted for trousers. Sometimes the dress
is adopted by organization, which resolves
to convert the rest of the feminine world to Greek
house dresses riding habits, the may
be. But when time elapses and the feminine world
remains unconverted the Uplift society goes back
to frills and style and tackles other problem
of humanity.
This has been the history of every suggested
standardized dress for women. few hundred
world reformers enthusiastic, but the A &c.,
900 or more other women of the country remain
serenely unnterested and continue to follow the
latest styles. Even in time, the powers that
decree uniforms for women workers avoid trouble
by conceding that off duty the uniform may be
replaced by civilian dress.

Discount is the amount taken off your bill for
prompt payment.
1t is based on the fact that money works. When
you do not pay what you owe, you getting inter
est the money, and your creditor is losing it.
Hence he is willing pay something if you will
remit quickly.
Discount is in use all down the line of business
almost. The manufacturer of stove, for in
stance pays discount to the jobber wholesaler,
the jobber gives discount to the retail store but
here the line breaks for the retailer gives dis
count to Mrs O'Grady who buys the stove and
cooks with it.
An enterprising company has been formed to
stop this gap; in other words, to give the ultimate
consumer also discount.
For this purpose the system aims to secure the
cooperation of four parties, the storekeeper the
savings bank, the customer, and the company that
engineers the project.
The storekeeper goes to the bank and buys a
quantity of aluminium checks, of denominations rang
ing from half cent to dollar.
When the customer buys a broom or hat the
sorekeeper says, If you wish to pay cash for this
and take along with you we give you discount of
10 cents"
With a little extra inconvenience the customer
sees an easy way to make dime He pays cash and
carries away his parcel putting in his pocket the
little metal check worth 10 cents.
When he gets small collection of these checks
he takes them to the savings bank and opens an
account.
Thus the customer is helped to save, the store
keeper is advantaged by getting his money in cash

Commonwealth will be especially at a time when

or weaken that leadership this critical juncture
II is 'imperatively necessary" the President
urges that there be unity of counsel and of control

President Wilson declares, they have sought

HOw Germany Can Pay.

But how can Germany pay indemnities?"
some onlOOkers ask, thinking of the colossal debt
which the Huns themselves have incurred. The
is that they must pay civilization before they
pay themselves, must make restitution for the
wealth they have stolen and wantonly destroyed
before they collect their own claims as creditors OF
the Potsdam Government.
Germany's war debt is held for the most part
by the German people. who have gone on heapng
cages on the future why worry" they thought,
"over a bill which will be paid in full and
with overlooking interest by the vanquished
French and Britons and Americans-the Americans
particularly" Counting upon huge incomes from
such well upon vast territorial gains,
the Germans have waged the war on a minimum
of taxation and maximum of credit. Now that
their hopes of mulcting billions from the nations
they assaulted blasted, they are keenly concern
ed over their Governments debt to them. But
that can wait and, matter or simple justice,
must wait It can be repudiated deferred, whatnot.
But first of all, accounts between Germany and
those she has so brutality wronged must be
squared.
With the domestic debt put aside, Germany
can proceed to the settlement of her accounts
with the Allies, as far as measureless wrongs can
be reckOned in economic terms. The New York
Journal of Commerce Interestingly points out in
this connection that inasmuch as a long period OF
rebuilding will be necessary TO repair even a
small part of the destruction the Huns have
wrought, IAN annual liquidation of the costs of the
operation might be as effective of paying
the debt as any that could be devised" Further:
German industry can be set at work to
produce the materials, machinery and equip
ment that will be needed in the process of re-
storing the district of northern France that
has been laid waste well the shipping
to recreate the merchant marine that his been
sacrificed to the ruthless" type OF warfare.
Such annual tax may be stated in terms
of money, but the actual settlement of 1t
must a regular deduction from the
l output of German mines, forests and factor
les, from customs taxes or tax upon trans
pOrtation until the debt has been made good"
The more concretely the payment of the tax
connected with the tasks of restoration is made the
more effective and Wholesome lesson it will be for
the German people. When they understand that
their labor and savings going to repair the vast
ravages which their militarism inflicted, they will
come nearer grasping the significance of the
from the worlds point Of view; they will learn
through practical expiatiOn something of the cost
Of the HohenZOllern adventure; they will acquire
lively respect for the law of nations and heart
deep resentment against the. autocracy that led
them to defy the lightnings of the worlds
science.

More P0wer for the Fleet.

Secretary Daniels request for some six hundred
million dollars with which to add one hundred and
fifty ships to the feet will meet the earnest APP
proval both of Congress and of the country.
Sea power has proved decisive in this
that the greatest battles thus far have been fought
on land Those battles would have been quite
different in character and consequence if German
instead of Allied ships had ruled the waves How
PRACTICALLY different indeed, would have been the
entire course of events and the fortunes of
the world! The supremacy of the British fleet in
those fateful hours of the summer of 1914 meant
that the Allies would have time and protection to
4ird themselves against the Huns precipitate at
tack 1t meant, moreover that the commerce of
America and of other nations then neutral could
move in comparative freedom and security. 1t
meant that on the great ocean highways the globe
around law and civilization would reign, sharply
chaleneged it is true, by Uboat piracy, but never
Welding. Every British soldier landed in France
every Allied soldier landed in the East, every
American soldier of the more than two million
across the Atlantic bears witness to the incalulabe
Importance of sea power.
From the day the United States entered the
war its navy has played fundamentally effective
mart in defeating the enemy's submarine campaign
in conveying the hundreds of transports and sup
ply ships, and in reinforcing the Allied fleets at
strategic points. To maintain and strengthen
this great arm of Defense on which depends all
else that we undertake, should be our proud and
ever-vigilant concern.

While his condition is serious, moth

American soldiers TO the number oi
101 are believed TO have been lost in
the sinking o. the British liner Tus-
cania, torpedoed off the Irish coast by
a German submarine. OF 2, ,l79 Amer.
lean troops on board, 2,07S officers
and men have been accounted for as
servivors, accordingto British Admir-
atty dispatches.
Early reports led to fears that l,00(
men might have been lost, but oficia
dispatches to Washington raised the
number Of saved among the troops to
more than 2,0N0, and the later British
official advices still further increased
the total.
All told, il appears from the official
reports there were 1887 persons on
board the Tuscania, including the
crew. OF these the total rescued is
given as 2,l96 including Ill of the
crew, three passengers and thirty-two
persons specified in the reports, ma
king the total loss of life so far as is
known 200.
The TuScania was conveyed by Brit
ish warships, and undoubtedly their
aid was prompt. Survivors have been
landed at two points on the northern
coast of Ireland. The troops on board
the Tuscania were largely former
National Guardsmen from Michigan
and Wisconsin. Three aero squadrons
and engineer and replacement detach-
ments also were on board.
Tne Tuscania, Of l4,34S tons, was
the first ship carrying American
troops to be sunk by submarines, al
though the transport Anti es was tor
pedoed with the loss OF 10 persons
last October while returning TO the
United States.
a German submarine also has sunk
he American freighter Alamance, of
5000 tons. The freighter went down
off the English coast with the loss OF
six men. All the Americans on board. |
ncluding the gun crew, were saved. !
The troops aboard the Tuscanm
we're mainly former Michigan and
National Guardsmen nowl
attached to the 32d Division, trained

iquadrons and several companies of
