NEED WARM VESTSF0R
YANKS In SIBERIA

siberia is about the coolest inhabited
spot on the earth az this season. Sew
eral thousand American soldiers will set
sail for Siberia within five days, and
they have no warm flannel vests. VIII
mingt0n women are asked by the Red
Cross to make one thousand Of these
vests in flve days.
The following urgent appeal has been
sent TO Wilmington women by Mrs
Willard Hall Porter, chairman Woman's
American Red Cross:
"An imperative call has come
from headquarters for a rush order
for one thousand flannel vests to be
finished by December 10. for our
soldiers In Siberia.
'sThe transport that win carry
- them sails from Can Francisco; to
connect with It the shipment must
be made not later than December
IS. No additional shipment will be
forwarded, as the vests would ar
rive too late in the spring to be OF
use.
~ appeal to 1--WE hundred loyal wo-
men Of Wilmington each 10 make
two vests In the next five days.
They are now ready at headquar-
ters. old Town Hall, and may be
taken home. The boys we love,
who are so far away, viii suffer In
that severe climate If we fail in our
duty to them.
"The surgical workers are spec
tally requested to respond to this
call"

superior is the gentler sex that the term
trained nurse" unexplained has come to
mean woman Of skilled mercy.
In an army rank counts much in enforc-
ing orders and discipline, and organization
is impossible without it. Therefore army
trained nurses should be given rank, non
commissioned and commissioned, as il ia
given to all other branches of the armv.
The fact that nurses are women is no res-
son for withholding it. 1t is given in the
British army and works WELL Why not in
ours? There are many uniformed men in
the army with commissions who will never
be exposed to as much danger and who are
no more necessary in the military est.h-,

Why there should be opposition il Ia hard
to say, unless it be the same narrow view
held somewhere in the medical CORPS Of tho

female trained nurses at all.

Italy's Naval Heroes

The Italian navy has now two Of the
most remarkable feats of the war to it's
credit A few weeks ago Commander
Pellegrini entered the harbor Of Pola
and torpedoed an Austrian battleship of
the Viribus Units class. A battleship
of the same class, the Scent Istvan, seek
ing to escape from Pola to a safer ref
uge, has just been torpedoed in the open
sea by Commander Rizzo Another bat
tleship was hit, but her loss is not
acknowledged in Vienna
These feats recall the successful attacks
by japanese torpedo boats on the Russian
fleet in the harbor Of Port Arthur. They
have a more distinctly individual char
acter, however, for the Italians used only
light motor boats and operated without
any support whatever For the last four
yeaAs we have seen naval warfare nearly
deadlocked. Naval work, except against
submarines, is slow, uneventful and
wearing. Yet there are still opportuni
ties for exploits of illimitable daring.
The individual has his chance again. Two
commanders in tiny patrol boats have
won Tor Italy a victory equal to Lissa.
They have nearly extinguished Austria's
navy as factor in the Adriatic.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-14
A Fundamental Right

Once again President Wilson has
spoken the true and timely word in be-
half of women. There was a peculiarly
moving appeal before him. A memorial
from the French Union for Woman Suf-
frage was in his hands, delivered by Mrs.
Gait and DR.. Shaw. The plea passed be-
yond national borders, asking simply that
the President proclaim the principle OF
suffrage as one of the fundamental
rights Of the future.
That is the whole ground of the pres
ent worldwide success of the movement.
AS President Wilson phrased the
thought, "full and sincere democratic re-
construction of the world" cannot be at
tanned until women are admitted to the
suffrage. 1t is obviously the war which
has spread this realization far and wide,
from Toronto to Westminster and back
again to the Capitol at Washington. Pay
ing debt of gratitude is just descrip-
ton of the grant of the ballot to women;
but it should be noted that this reward
asked by women is no selfish prize. but
deep and grave obligation, the right and
duty to help advance the world in which
we all live.
The Senate was all but won to the
amendment President Wilson's eloquent
plea should leave no question of it's
prompt and sweeping passage.

Needed: An Industrial Psychiatrv

Professor Irving Fisher, equally
known as an economist and for his in
terest in problems of public health,
makes a novel suggestion in recent
address. That is for the creation of
new science or new branch of ap-
piled science which might be called in
dustrial psychiatry. We reprint a por-
tion of his paper.
Professor Fisher points out how ut
terly different the workingman's job in
a great factory where quantity produc-
ton prevails is from this same kind of
work fifty years or more ago, when each
man more or less carried through an en-
tire piece of work. "To-day," he says:
with the minute division of labor,
workingman sees his work sweep by him
"a peg in shoe, bolt in an automo obilc
and since he is not able to visualize
his part in the product his work ceases
to be interesting and becomes drudgery"
Professor Fisher says that in order to
have contented and happy workingmen
we must needfully satisfy the great fun
damental human instincts, which means
that every man has or ought to have
much larger interest in his Job than the
contents of his pay envelope
The Yale professor has some tart
things to say about the craze for eff
cheney, especially as developed in such
schemes as the Taylor system, which he
says is like trying to hold out a bale
of hay for the donkey, and as he ap-
proaches it-make him walk faster to
reach it." The work of Robert B. Wolf,
who doubled his output by getting his
operatives interested in their work and
keen to improve it themselves, is cited as
the kind of thing that will bring about
a healthier and strikeless life in our
factories.

The Servitude Of Little Children
Not yet.

In the testimony at the hearing before
Congress on the child labor bill, two
years ago, appeared with wearisome rep
etition such items as these:
an. T., age 10, has worked four years.
Receives so cents per day
Hattie Hester, age Ia, has worked three
years. Earns s1.05 week.
"Goldie Robinson, age 13, earns 81 a
night"
BY vote of five to four the Supreme
Court has declared that the law passed
to abolish this sort of thing throughout
the whole United States was unconstitu-
tional-a violation Of states rights. The
correspondent of '"The Evening Post"
says that a new bill is being prepared by
the leaders of the Child Labor associa-
tions which it is hoped will meet the
ideas of majority of the court as to
what kind of law the people of the
United States, expressing their will in
Congress, may legally enact.
The plan most favorably considered is
that of levying a tax upon products in
the making of which children under
can be made so high as virtually to pro-
hibit such manufacture; and there is a.
favorable precedent in the oleomargarne
case, where the levying of such a tax by
the Federal government has been upheld
by the courts. The effect of this tax was
practically to destroy, for the time, the
oleomargarine industry.
1t is not clearly understood how great
an effect Federal law on child labor
can have. 1t is true that great major
ity of the states have such laws, but
some twenty states did not have law
up to the same standard as the Federal
statute. These were chiefly the states of
the South. But even in the twenty
eight states where adequate laws do ex-
ist the Federal statute proved to be of
inestinable value as double check of the
enforcement of these laws by the state
authorities.

TRA1NED nurses in the army should
have military rank and commissions.
They are as necessary in winning the
war as the infantry and artillery The med
ical and nurses corps has always COM
manded the attention and support of lay
men because of the humane character Of it's
work Relief from suffering has been its
chief function in the popular estimate.
Now, however, victory is won by restora-
ton to the ranks of those suffering casual
ties. Greater progress has been made in
the high percentage of the wounded in bat

achievements make wonderful record

Another Flag Day

The flag means more to Americans to-
day than it has ever meant in our lives.
And why? Not, surely, because it is more
familiar. Nor yet because it floats over
hosts Of soldiers and nightly fleets.
There were soldiers and fleets before.
Not, therefore, because of its new part IN
the panoply Of war.
1t means more to us because we have
put more into it. Because, after years
of peace and plenty in which we thought
Of our flag chiefly as something to pro-
tect and guard us, we have in time of
war and grief and hardship learned to
know our flag as something for us to
protect and guard and serve.
A flag, in short, is as great as its
people-and no greater. When they are
great and generous and courageous, it is
great and beautiful and holy. When they
falter and haggle. their flag is less than
nothing to them, as to the world at large.
Ours to love and cherish and die for
in the greatest of causes Therefore a
source of pride and of deep emotion to
every American. That is the lesson we
are learning in these days of sacrifice
and devotion, when flying bit of color
becomes the most glorious and joyous
and sacred thing in the whole wide
world

further loss of ground would have meant
the fall of Verdun.
But the present operations are merely
clearing operations, preliminary to the
supreme struggle. Until the Germans are
south Of the Aisne the advance upon
Paris by the fanks is held up and the
German centre cannot move. Once Com
piegne, the immediate objective of the
Sunday offensive, falls, then the line of
the Aisne is gone, the French centre is
put back beyond the river and the Aisne
Valley is opened for the use of the Ger
mans. AS this achievement is essential
to the main strategical purpose, namely,
to deliver decisive battle before Paris,
the Germans are not hesitating to pay
the price, just as they paid the price at
Dead Mans Hill before Verdun
On the other hand, as the German pur-
pose becomes clearer Foch is able to
commit more and more of his reserves
to the defence of the threatened point
and the possibilities of surprise become
infinitely less. The essential thing is not
to prevent the Germans from arriving
upon the decisive battlefield, but to de-
plete their reserves SO that they will have
to engage in this battle with inferior
numbers and shaken morale. All else
that is important is time, for time means
the arrival of more American divisions
and the speedier elimination of any Ger
man numerical advantage.
buttons is plainly revealed in the COM
ments Of the German press upon the sub
marine campaign in American waters
German leaders know that two or three
submarines cannot impede the flow of
American troops, but they are desper-
ately anxious that the mass of German
people should believe that this will be
the result lest these masses lose heart
before the decisive battle and because of
the gigantic losses and shortening odds.
But in the immediate present it is we'll
to discriminate between the ultimate and
the present German purpose. We are
seeing clearing operation such as took
place on the west bank of the Meuse in
March and April, 1916 This clearing
operation was necessary in order to en-
able the German centre to continue it's
advance upon Verdun, but it was not the
main thrust, which could only follow and
was never completed because Of the
Somme offensive, which drew off German
men and guns before they could be put
in for the final thrust. To-day German
High Command, at huge cost, is striving
to clear the way to that plateau between
the Disc and the Marne which saw the
Battle of the Ourcq nearly four years
ago and may see another and far vaster
battle on the fourth anniversary of the
days when Kluck was turned back. Paris
saved and the Marne won.
The first stage on the Germans read is
Compiegne and the command of the Aisne
Valley from scissors to the Disc. Since
he cannot advance in the centre he is
striving to thrust forward on his hanks,
now north of Compiegne, now east of
Vlllers-Cotterets, just as he struck first
at Dead Mans Hill, then at Fort de
Vaux, in the Verdun time, seeking to re-
lease his centre.
