My words are not powerful enough
to do even scanty justice to the most
heroic figure in the modern world, and
of ages past-the woman of France.
OF the healthy men who are engaged
in the military service in France,
practically all are engaged either in
transportation or in the manufacture
of. munitions, leaving the agriculture
absolutely to the women. Not only
this, but they have stepped into the
place of work animals; you can go
into any section of France today and
see women of magnificent, noble wom-
anhood hitched to the plough and cul-
tivating the soil All of this agricul-
ture rests upon their shoulders. The
home, always an extremely efficient
home, maintains few old men, the
wounded, and the tubercular Uncom-

attitude that amounts almost to re-
ligious exaltation, the woman Of
France bears the burden.
Now, conditions being as they are,
does 1t lie within the heart of the
American people to preserve and hold
to every convenience of our life at the
expense of adding an additional bur-
den to the womanhood of France?
This is the exact question that is in
volved in our substitution of other
cereals in place of wheat.
The woman of France must be en-
abled to hold up the morale of the
French soldier until next spring. The
morale of the house decides the NOR
ale of the soldier in the fighting line.
We can do this by giving to them the
greatest possible freedom in their food
supply, and of this, wheat is the chief
factor.-Dr. Alonzo Taylor.

Even members of the committee not

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
Prices were firm and trading was
dull in today's short session Of the
stock market. The immediate con-
sideration with the traders was the
fact that Monday is to be hol1-
day. For this reason the shorts were
constrained to cover their commit
ments since it was recognized that
the peace hopes builded on the state
ments of the German imperial chan
cellor and the AustrOH Hungarian
foreign minister may vanish between
now and Tuesday morning. For the
moment, however, the sentiment was
most cheerful because of the poten-
tial rift between Germany and Aus
tria as suggested by the diverging
views Of the respective statesmen.
While trading was dull. bullish talk
abounded in commission houses and
elsewhere through the street New
ertheless there was evident desire to
settle accounts so far as may be over
the two day recess.
