the German peace offer is entitled to
reasonable considerations
We recognize" the manifesto adds,
that further elucidation OF the pro

the Allies military effort can be
checked, while as an essential prelimi-
nary the enemy must Withdraw its
armies from all occupied territory and
give a public, uncquivocal declaration

Placing Women S
Labor Important
Problem of War

With the Increased employment OF
women in most of the industries of
the nation, the government has
found it necessary to enlarge the
slope of its employment service. The
placing Of women in industry is one
of the important problems Of the
war.
Recognition of this situation is
shown in the increased Importance
of the women's employment service
throughout the country. The divi-
sion is in most instances separate
from the mems employment agency
and this separation has been made
In the North Dakota state branch of
the United States employment ser
vice, in the appointment this week
OF Mrs. Minue Bowe as superintend-
ent OF the women's division. Mrs.
Bowe has been employed in the Of
flee Of the employment service since
it's establishment in North Dakota,
but her appointment as superlnten-
dent of the women's division places
| this department on separate basis
A women's employment service in
previous years was devoted almost
exclusively to the placing Of domes
tic help except in the case Of pri-
waite agencies which handled the
placing of professional workers.
With the increased opportunities of
entering industry it has been found
necessary to provide means of bring
ing the job and the woman together
and domestic employment seems al
most the least of them.
Countless girls write to this Of
fice," said Mrs. Bowe today, asking
for war work Youth is seldom sat-
isfied to do the job close at hand
and the magic phrase war work
lures them into almost any work ex-
cept that to be had right beside
them. The idea that any useful and
necessary work, well done. is as
much war work as any other thing,
has not enough of romance about it
but the problem Of every community
is to provide work that will be ac-
ceptable to the workers and done
under proper conditions. This of
course is the object of the commu-
nifty labor boards established
throughout the country.
Each community, however must
see to it that it's workers are given
attention and North Dakota has a
particular problem for it's interests
are so largely farming that unless
care is taken it will be drained Of
its labor, through the lure of war
work in localities farther afield."

could not be reduced materially an
increase in rates was not unlikely.

over 500 coats in every color and
material. such as pushes, beaver
cloth. seal cloth, velours, broad
cloths, kerseys, crystal cloth, Boz

We doubt whether any store in
the city has shown SO many coats
and we know that there never was
SO many pretty styles shown at one
time at popular prices. Many Of
these coats are for misses and small
women and are beautifully trimmed
with fur. The materials are very
good, almost every coat is an all

cause of the governments new rul-
