WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
IN FRANCE, March 2S.-The
British artillerymen have been
doing magnificent work. On the

among the enemy. One very
heavy concentration of German
infantry near Morehies was COM
pletely smashed by this style Of
firing.
Not only did the British stick to
their firing to the last possible
moment. hut they got their guns
hack when 1t became necessary
with extraordinary skill. The
correspondent today heard Of one
battery which kept firing until
the Germans were only twenty
i've yards away. and then fell

Yet Another Bar to District Peo-
pie in the Civil Service
BY BILL PRICE

The Civil Service Commission should induce Congress-
in view of extraordinary and serious housing conditions in
Washington, to let down still another bar to employment
of District and nearby citizens in the Government service
rather than continue the policy Of bringing people here
when there are no longer homes for them
The commission announces that District people and
those living within committing distance will be given pref
erence IN cerfcatiOn to positions egibles living
away from Washington, owing to the influenza epidemic,
and examinations of local applicants arranged for
1t is regrettable that this action not taken long
ago, strongly urged by this paper Instead of making
of thousands Of educated and intelligent Washington
people who have since gone into other fields Of employment
the commission persisted In giving preference to egbes
from the States The situation today is that there are no
longer homes for people The dormitories provided
by Congress far from completion and hospabe people
of the District have left Mercenary renters
have shamey exploited thousands of the war workers
who here but the other side of the picture also shows
thousands of girls contentedy housed in delightful homes
at prices far below what the accommodations worth;
could not be had at all except on patriotic and humanitarian
grounds.
1t is no longer influenza making it imperative to can
District people for their services 1t is case of exhaust
ed housing space, with relief In sight until dormitores
completed many additional houses Communicated and
fitted for workers.
Part of the Civil Service law provides that not more
than two members of the same family, LIVING UNDER
THE SAME ROOF shall be certified for Government
positions To avoid that law families must break the home
circle, which most of them will not do. Consequently
modification of the law would bring many hundreds of To-
cal people into Government employment They are already
provided with homes and would cause no further con-
geston.
''I would be good thing if this law could be abro
gated modified at this time" Commissioner Craven told
The Times today.
Congress enacted this provision and provided for
quota for each State and Territory to prevent District people
getting than their share of positions 1t might have
been partly wise In peace times but it now operates to the
huge disadvantage of the United States Government when
it needs the help of every available man woman

SiXteen=Inch Guns
An Extra Added Attraction.

sixteeninch naval guns made in America, manned by
American Sailors being used land to drive the Ger

We build guns to be used on battleships. When we
find there is for them hitch them to locomo
tives and drag them inland and point them at the
enemy One big naval cannon dropping shells far behind
the German lines, is worth thousand turrets ship

tlonship unframed.
And If they know how TO give
love gracefully and generously,
they naturally expect that it will
also be given them in return. So
when they find that it isn't forth
coming, that their husbands have
forgotten all about love, they are
hrst greatly astonished. Then
they are deeply wounded. Then
something deadly happens to the
love inside themselves. And it
isn't likely that a marriage from
which the very life has gone can
ever again seem other than a
meaningless and empty thing.
A Problem for Wives.
So here is a question for most
women and all wives. How much
shall they demand Of a sex that
hasn't developed the art of low
ing as they themselves have?
How shall they meet this discour-
aging blindness and passiveness
on the part of men?
Wives should try, / believe, not
to be too sensitive, too easily
wounded. And if they are con-
WINGED that there is a sleepy, dog
like love hidden away inside their
husbands, think they ought to
coax it out and teach it to ex-
press itself. Men are teachable
creatures in many ways, we must
admit. They have even learned
things that women haven't. Why
can't they, with patient, skillful
teachers, learn something of the
art Of loving?
But where it's a matter of a
dead love, women are likely to
indulge in considerably too long a
period Of mourning and lamenta-
ton. It's mere squandered en-
ergy, wasted life, TO do this. For
human affection, turn to your
children, if you are lucky enough
to have any. For everyday inter
est, find some work outside your
home that won't be full of per-
sonal reminders.
II not a happy woman, the next
best thing to look upon is a cour-
ageous woman.

TODAY'S TOPIC
KEEPING LOVE ALIVE

elected and stationary emotion.
Love isn't stationary. It's al
ways hanging back or rushing
ahead.
And it won't endure neglect.
For II you don't pay attention to
it, you'll find some day it has van
ished altogether.
It's not at all like those uninter-
esting wreaths of fuzzy white i'm
mortelles, that you put aside in a
dark chamber and find totally IN
changed after ten years indiffer-
ence.
It's like some sweetly blooming
garden plant that must be weeded
and watered and summed and kept
from frost and wind.
Almost all women seem to know
this instinctively. l suspect that
women are born with more knowl-
edge of love than men acquire in
a lifetime. It's just a part Of their
heritage.
Not many women make the mis-
take of supposing that because
their newly married husbands are
in love with them that that is the
end of the matter. They know
that to keep on being loved in
definitely, they must continue low

two years Of married life ! have
never heard one tender word. He
never pays me any compliments,
never makes a sign that he sees
or appreciates the things / do for
him, or the sacrifices ] make. He
never tries to make himself at

am doomed to go on loving him,

how unloving he becomes.
My husband forgot that a

nance was the very breath Of my

realize that he is to blame for my
unhappiness. He blames me for
everything"
You see, 1t isn't a deliberately
cruel man who has caused all this
suffering. Merely a selfish person,
probably, who is incapable Of love,
and therefore unfit for marriage.
He knows that the responsive girl
he once made love to was In love
when they married. So he is ig-
norant enough to suppose himself

is 1T women alone who know
that love won't live unless 1t
is nourished?
Have men been laundering
along through all the ages since
the worlds first love affair with
out ever learning this fundamental
truth?
It may be that all the great
lovers of the world, the men who
have been able to make women su-
premely happy and to be beloved
in turn, have loved blindly. That
loving as an art has never been
practiced by men, and that the
happiness or unhappiness Of mar
ried lovers, in particular, is a mat
ter that they still blankly fail to
understand.
Love Is Perishable.
Doubtless, it isn't always the
husbands fault when homes are
unsuccessful and wives wretched.
But / believe that thousands Of
such cases are due simply to mems
not knowing that it isn't enough
to have fallen in love, once on a
time, with the woman one is mar
ried to. That love has to be
watched, and fed, and kept alive.
Like many other beautiful and
precious things, love is extremely
..erishable.
A letter has just come to me
from an unfortunate girl, two
years married, who signs herself
'In Misery" She has, very plain
ly, the temperament that is made
for love. She is married to a
man to whom love, with all its
delicacies and subtleties, is
complete mystery. / wish her
pitiful story were exceptional.
But she is speaking for countless
women when she writes:
Is Your Life Like This?

done to keep my love alive, to
keep me interested in him. How
has he bound me closer? Most

W. z Vanderbilt is Mrs Oliver g. Belmont Her grand
father was William H. Vanderbilt, who drove Maud S.
His father was Commodore Vanderbilt who drove little

subsequently became great railroad man.
The young lady in the picture is the Duchess of
Marlborough She has been elected office in London
At odd times she is opening fairs, laying cornerstones
Masking speeches. putting a gown with a train many
yards long, sticking feathers in her hair going court
and court balls in peace times interesting herself in poll
tics in time-and always called "Your Grace" by
servants and by Americans that don't know any better
The Duke of Marlborough, is descendant of the
famous Duke Of Marlborough who went fighting and win
ming for England, and whose descendants have been
perfectly good descendants since he stopped doing
something
You read good deal of nonsense about the "foIy of
rich American girls marrying titles
If they don't marry titles, what shall they do in a
country that doesn't let them vote doesn't let them do
anything very interesting?
This young lady's marriage was interesting Her
mother prominent sufragette, nervous, energetic
worker decided that she didn't her daughter to sit
around Newport and watch perfectly good young
American husband drink cocktails.
She therefore took Mr.. Vanderbilts big yacht
went of yachting far India and home with the
best available duke in England.
She married her daughter to the duke The father
gave the duke six millions of dollars to fix with
American plumbing Blenheim Palace that grateful Eng
land had given to his fighting ancestor
And there with little domestic fluctuations the Ameri-
duchess lives and the whole enjoys herself much more
than she would have done she had stayed at home and
grown old and in the United States with nothing
to do except get into limousine and get out again
Give women REAL OCCUPATION let them have
