Let Every Woman Protest

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
1t is amazing that there should be talk
Of parley with people like the Germans,
possessed with the devil. The drowning
of women and children in the Lusitania
was merciful compared with the cruelties
practised on women in Belgiun-nameless
horrors which sicken any sister woman to

Let every woman in the country p-o-
test against treating with the creatures
guilty of such crimes.

BORDEN CONFERS HERE
Canadian Premier Begins Sessions
With Earl Reading and Other
Officials.

Premier Borden of Canada began a
series of conferences here today with
Earl Reading, the British ambassador;
Lloyd Harris, chairman of the Canadian
war mission; Sir Charles Gordon, vice
chairman of the British war mission,
and some American officials. The ques-
tion of q Canadian credit in this coun-
try is said to be the subject under dis
cussion-
one of the OBJECTS of the premier's 5
conferences with British officials is un-
derstood to be to seek a transfer of
some of Great Britain's credits here to
Canada. The balance of trade. has been
running heavily against Canada in Ia
vor of the United States during the last
few months. because of the vast flow of
war materials.
Great Britain has credits here, ad-
vanced by the Treasury, which. if she
so desires. could be transferred to the
account. of the Dominion to meet its
American obligations.
Officially it was announced that the
main purpose of the Canadian premier s
visit to Washington was to confer with
Earl Reading as to British wartime
policy in Canada and the United States.
Although Sir Robert probably will con-
fer with many prominent government
officials here. no fntimation was given
of their object.

The barrage fire began at $50 o'clock

The Americans among the 100 in the
attacking party were surprised at the
precision with which the French shells
fell and went little faster than they
should have and were within thirty
yards of the dropping shells when they
reached the enemy lines. Relief had
just been completed in the German
trenches and officers were making the
rounds.

The Germans took shelter in dusout

French jumped in. There was some
hand-to-hand fighting. but the entire

out of other shelters and along COM

any. There was some criticism of the
fact that the Americans were SO en-

The worst gale that has visited WASH

Seventh Street Hard Hit.
The gale was preceded by warm
rain shortly after midnight. In view OF
the strength Of the gale the amount of
damage reported was remarka bly,
small. Much of the damage occurred
along 7th street.
A show window of Klein's clothing

One of the freaks of the wind early
this morning resulted in slight damage
to the gates guarding the draw of the

opened the wind swung the gates
around. battering and twisting them
out of shape before they could be made

Sum for Gun Factory at Navy
Yard Here.

A request that $4,000. 900 for the naval
gun factory at the Washington navy
yard be included in the urgent de-
fciency bill now pending before the
Senate appropriations committee was
sent to the Senate today by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury on behalf of Sec
retary Daniels of the Navy.
In letter Secretary Daniels ex-
planned that this sum had been esti-

that if this appropriation was carried
in thef urgent deficiency bill the esti-
rirtes for the next fiscal year would be
REDUCED TO that extent.

Available portions of the address of

to the reichstag we're studied carefully

No official indication was given Of how
it was regarded. There was no intima-
tion that it would be the basis for a
further step in the Presidents custom of
discussing the subject of peace in the
open by addressing Congress.
BY some IT was regarded as more
likely to call forth an expression on
the part of Great Britain. Some Of
ficials said they believed it served only
to emphasize the point made by Presi-
dent Wilson in one of his early ad-

though the central powers seemed
most willing to seize upon any ex-
preston of altruistic principles which
seemed to lead to peace negotiations,

WASHINGTON NOT MENTIONED
YOUTHFUL FRENCH ORATOR SEEMED TO THINK
LAFAYETTE WAS REALLY THE FATHER
OF THIS COUNTRY
By DIR. ESTHER LOvEJOY.

What is the attitude of the French
people toward the Americans? The
French are very polite people, and,
no matter what their inmost thoughts
may be, they are not likely to express
an opinion to an American other than
complimentary. But the children of
all the world are guileless. They can
be depended upon TO express in public
the private opinions of their parents
The children of France are crazy
about Americans in uniform, so we
guess what their parents feel for us.
On one occasion / was passing q
public school with another Red Cross
woman physician in uniform ard a
French visiting nurse. The school had
just been dismissed, and a group of
young boys came trooping out. In
stantly we were surrounded, and after
seconds parley a young Mirabeau
of about twelve years, the spokesman
of the group, stepped forward, bowed
formally and delivered an address on
Lafayette and America, which was
punctuated by the applause of his ad-
miring compatriots. The American
Eaglet could not possibly have
screamed louder in the United States
on the Fourth of July than it did on
that back street of munition town
in France.
There seems to be some difference

nected with the American revolution.

in the mind of young France with the
United States and all it stands for

According to the juvenile French
version, Lafayette saved America.
This was the most glorious achieve

gle handed and alone Lafayette sowed
the seeds of liberty in the United
States that has spread from the At

Of hundred million people. When
the American colonies were in

the hosts of America, million
strong, are returning that historic
visit for the purpose Of repaying the
debt of gratitude.
To say that the audience followed

the case. They all seemed familiar
with the speech, and their applause
frequently anticipated its climaxes.

however, as a tribute to the tremen-
dous tasks set before us in our move
ment, to the great achievements of
the men and women of toll at home,
to their fortitude, their courage and
burdens. They brought this movement
into its present position of dignity
and influence and service, for, after
all, there is no greater blessing that
can come to human being than the
knowledge, the comfort and the
thought that he has been and is of
service. To be able to render some
assistance to the greatest cause en-
trusted to human beings, to help make
life better worth living, to be reveren-
tial in understanding, to surrender no
thought of hope here or above in the
great realm of the spiritual, to make
life better worth living in the here and
the now, to work for the generations
yet unborn that their life and work
may be easier and better rewarded,
with a greater result in the advance
ment of the human race, to cultivate
the best that is in them, to make the
arts of peace the every day activities
of our fellows, developing in us a
greater spirit of kindness and justice
and human brotherhood-that in part,
is the work and the mission of the
American Federation of Labor.
