WOMEN STREET CLEANERS

TWENTY-FIVE women agreed on satur-
= day to work for a streetcleaning con-
tractor in West Philadelphia, but only eight
reported for work yesterday morning
But If the streets are to be cleaned it is
likely to be necessary to get women to do
part of the work, just as it will be neces-
sary to get women to take up other Jobs
left by drafted men. Women are doing
mems work in England and in France and
they are doing it well. There are women
who have the strength and endurance to
use broom in the streets. Many of them
are stronger than the men one is accus.
toned to see at the work. When those
women who did not report for work yes.
terday discover that the others We're more
courageous and more patriotic some of
them are likely to apply again for a broom
and take their place in the home army that

nILATORY Philadelphia citizens have
- two more chances to register for the
fall election. They may sign up between
the hours of and 10 a. m. and and 10
p. m. today and also on October 5. Failure
to register means temporary loss of fran
, chise in November. when the State will
choose a new Governor.
1t is hard to realize why any one neglects
the simple and vital duty of securing his
voting privilege, and yet there is annual
evidence of neglect and usually by those
elements of the public fond of proclaiming
themselves as averse to gang rule. And
when November comes around sincere but
careless lovers of good government are
they have no standing as voters. Perhaps
the very lightness of their preliminary
duties caused the oversight.
The first of this autumn's political regis.
tration days came so shortly before the day
when thirteen million Americans pledged
themselves for Government service as to
be trife confusing. There is. no good
reason for misconception now. The coun-
try has enrolled its army material. 1t is
now up to Philadelphians to prove them
selves as good citizens as they are patriots
by registering for the right to choose their
servants. Those who cannot attend their
division polling places today will have a
positively last opportunity on October 5.

No Talk of Peace

American doughboys charge German
machine gun nest across an open field.
Some fall. but the others press forward.
They come to their objective at the point
of the bayonet, only TO find the beaten Hun,
with uplifted hands crying "Kamerad" But
with a gun or knife concealed, ready to
violate his plea of surrender.
This is the true Hun spirit, the spirit back
of the Kaiser and his court. With the power
of the offensive passing from him, he is now
merely waiting for another chance to lift his
hands with the cry of "Kamerad" or Peace" Z"
Peace-with part of the loot still in his

German gain or German victory through
craft or deceit Peace-with the hidden

PEACE. BY MECHANISM IS DELI1sIvE

A VISION of the arplane improved TO
= such deadly degree of effectiveness that
the world armed with such an instrument
will abstain from future wars is coniured
up by Major John L. Baird, Parliamentary
Secretary of the British Air Board. "Ayia-
tfon,' he believes, will make all other
wars impossible, because carried to a Iopi
cal conclusion the air forces can be de-
veloped to such an extent that the idea of
war in the air would be so appalling that
the human race would not stand for it."
The course Of history runs counter to
such picture. War has a trick OF
thriving on increasingly formidable weap-
ons. The terrors of Greek fire were met
and surpassed by gunpowder, and Constan-
tinople, for example, was won by the su-
periority of Mohammed's cannon over the
once-feared Byzantine explosive.
The restless ingenuity OF man makes a
mechanically made peace one of question
able durability. Spiritual strength is the
true foe of war. That is why America
and the Allies. powerful in arms, but still
stronger in ideals know that they will
crush the monster. IL is the moral
obliquity and weakness of Germany far
more than her artillery which has really
kept the Frankenstein alive so long.

Dear Socrates, have just read

And to compete I have no fears
AS Supreme Spirit of the Spheres
Eishemius's output ma.' be great
No less, I do not hesitate,
For poets Uhough Great Louis oulk)
Must rate by music, not by bulk.
NV verse as every reader knows,
Contains no mixture of glucose,
No artificial sweetening matter,
No epithets to make it fatter.
Ny poems cause no burning ears,
No mawkish droppings Of warm tears,
And be they rhymed or be they free
They aren't afraid of L. M. e
NY poems are brunette and blonde.
Are pensive, whimsical and fond;
But orderly and most polite.
They never stay out late at night.
And though they're geared both high and
low,
They are domestic, keenly so;
Young kitchen maids on evenings on,
Have stayed ct home to read my stuff.
When Louis says his rhymes are built on
The same lines as Walt or Milton,
Don't you think he feels his oats?
Readers, let me have your votes!
Louis claims he is unique,
And he gloats that twice a week
With some tuneful tosh did he land
In a paper in New Zealand
Look at me, friend of Apollo
I can knock Eishemius hollow!
Since first from Helicon l slipped,
Never been rejection slipped.
Louis's claim? Come now repulse it!

AN ADIEU

MY LOVE for you is such a spirit thing
AVA need not hold your hands nor kiss
your lips, H
Nor even watch the soul.sgns Of your eyes
To keep it living and not mem'ried thing.
My soul can find your spirit in the skies. Z
In scented breeze, wind-wafted from rose,
In cadences of soft-tuned melodies,
In all there Is seductive and yet pure. %
Therefore. beloved one, can leave you
now,
And. in the doing so, bespeak my love.
Which is so vast it has no human bonds.
If, in some future time, slight caress
Seems wind-imprinted on your soft sweet
cheek
Twill be my spirit on the wind conveyed
To whisper that live and love you yet.
