The New Spirit Of France

We gave the other day instances re-

which France has displayed all of that
virile drive and do-it-off- the bat quality

American characteristic In the same arti-

which makes most excellent reading for
America just now.

This has gone too far said the super

risen from the bench After a great deal

on which q peasant, after a few days Of
practice, could perform all the work of
the skilled mechanics and do it faster and
more economically.

not satisfied. He improved the machine to
the point Whefe 1T could be operated by
blind men, To-day when YOU 90 to his

gave him so much cost and trouble being
accomplished by sightless soldiers, whose
output is several times greater than that

scant population, an undeveloped industry
was without doubt one of the strong fac
tors which helped to stimulate Yankee re
sourcefulness and inventive genius II

wake France, and England, too, from Gus

A German Salvation
(From The Villager)
= KRAINE has fallen def

" UKRAINE has fallen definitely and
finally into Germany's lap. 1t is not
chance happening, an incident of
Russas misfortune and Germanys good
luck. The prying loose of Ukraine was not
only hoped for early as 1914; it was con-
clsely planned for as an essential part of
that great imperial purpose which reaches,
continuous end consistent, back into the past
century. And for Germany Ukraine means
more than wheat fields and coal mines; it
means possibly some twenty millions of Rus
sia's Mahometa1 inhabitants in addition;
it means possibly Tartary and the great
Asiatc steppes, perhaps Afghanistan and
Persia and with these Turkey, all loosely

Dressing the Part

Decorating woman with the ballot is a
simple and obvious war measure and moth
ing easier. Dressing her suitably for her
new war activities, selecting the right skirts
and trousers and compromises, promises to
initiate long and complex controversy,
and the end is nowhere in sight.
No one expected either Mr.. Shonts or
the b. Il. r. to solve the problem success
fully. The half-and half khaki effect that
Mr.. Shonts hit upon for his conductorettcs
is notable chiefly for the success with
which it combines the awkwardnesses of
both skirts and trousers while quite elud-
ing the charm Of either The B. r. L.
sought to be more conservative. 1t clung
to the skirt as the one true faith for women
and bull it's uniforms Of blue, the whole
being a frankly Flatbushian and feminine
effect.
AS between the two we vote for tne B.
r. T. The one clew that we can conceive
is that Of fitness--of dressing each par
ticular working woman for the particu-
lar part she has to play. Now, there
seems very little excuse for bloom
ers on a conductorette. A short skirt
seems to meet the needs quite as well
as bloomers. Also, the semi-military
pretence of the Shonts costume seems a
mistake. There is nothing more objection
able than a sloppy uniform; yet that is
just about the effect that our Interborough
conductorettes achieve, and might natural
ly be expected to achieve, considering their
job, their wages and the cut of their
clothes.
Will our farmerettes do bettero Already
they have, we think in so far as they have
taken frankly to overalls as the one sensi-
bic form Of costume. These trig effects made
familiar in the British weekles, and now
to be purchased at our best shops, smocll
or blouse plus riding breeches and puttces,
are more debatable. They are undoubtedly
the most becoming working costume for a
woman when both tailor and God have
done their duty. When the costume is
poorly cut or the figure wakes plump, they
rapidly degenerate into the acme of home

Does a Great Shipping Crisis Impend

Mr.. Mark Sullivan is a writer Of stand
ing and Of reputation, long familiar with
conditions at Washington. He was for
many years the representative at Wash
ington Of "Colier's Weekly" and later
editor of that journal.
In the present issue of "Colliers' Mr.
Sullivan describes condition which he de-
clares cannot result otherwise than in a
crisis that may develop into national
calamity. He definitely says:
The people awoke one morning to be
confronted with an order from their gov
ernment commanding them to close down
some of their shops and some of their
places of amusement for half dozen days,
more or less. We a good deal eX-
cited about that, and yet it was merely a
premontory tremor compared to the crisis
we are destined to come upon some time
during the next few months-a crisis as
inevitable the Fourth of July and, once
the data are studied, almost as easy to
forecast.
The situation, as Mr. Sullivan sees it, is
simply this
We are training men
We are manufacturing munitions
We are building aeroplanes and trucks
and locomotives and other war material
and these cannot possibly be got to France
this year.
For lack of ships.
We started out to build six million tons
Of shipping this year. Mr.. Sullivan de-
clares that we cannot build three millions
of tons. And this is not half or a
quarter enough Without these ships we
can make no effective contribution to the
war.
In another column on this page we re-
print the substance of Mr.. Sullivan's arti-
Gle.
The government, if it knows, ought to
say definitely whether or not these things
are true.
Mr. Bakers reassurances are vague, inn
plying hope. Mr.. Bakers critics reply
with definite facts and figures
Are these figures scandalous misstate-
ments? Are the supposed facts untrue?

ask their sons to write to such an address

make six trips. And under present condi
tons she is making at the rate of Just six
trips year. She consumes sixty days for
each round trip. She ought to make it in
less than thirty days. When she was oper
ated by her German captain and his Ham
burg-American she used to make the

between sixty days and twenty one days isn't
accounted for by war. The submarine has
nothing to do with that.
To be sure, the Cecile cannot 20 at top

The Callous Paci6st

tDon Marquis, IN The EucninC Sun)
There is coldly savage Indifference in the
self styled "pacihst" who attempts to hall
the to make peace and liberty possible
in the world, for he would rather see whole
populations suffering in German slavery than
see them defend themselves with arms. 1t is
this strange callusncss to suffering which
sooner or later and often unconsciously, be
trays the "paciist" into pro -Germansm !:
there is an affinity between his cruel willing
ness to see people suffer without striking
back and the brutality of the German who
wishes to strike the helpless. The so-called
"pacifst' usually defends the Germans indi
rcctly by trying to make himself believe that
the Belgans, French ct al. are "iust as bad
as the Germans. There goes with this
"pacifsm" sort of sickly, Intellectual, super
fetal sentimcntality; and this septimentality
we also find in the German. These "paciists'
usually do not recognize their own chill cal
lusness for what it really is; they pretend
superior morality.
