She wondered why none Of the men
in the neighborhood were going to
stop the Germans from killing women
and children. The very next after
noon she went out to the highway
and stopped several to ask them. But
they only laughed. Why did
they laugh? There was nothing funny
about the killing Of women and chill
dren!
How she wished that she were a
man! She would go! Nothing on
earth could stop her!
But she was only a little girl, who
had no money-wifo didn't even know
where Belgium and France were.
-. And there was SO much work
to be done, washing and cooking and
scrubbing and busting. And always
one or more OF the children had some

AUTO MAKERS ASK FOR STEEL FROM
 US. GOVERNMENT

Washington, Nov. 20-America's s automobile builders hope to drop 4 billion dollars worth of government munitions contracts and reassume their yearly program of a billion dollars worth of passenger cars and trucks within the next six months Until they are well re-established on a peace basis there will be no decrease in prices.
 At a meeting yesterday of 100 rep resentatives of the industry, particu- larly those of S7 firms which have government contracts, a program of readjustment and reconstruction. framed by a special committee of ten members, was endorsed and sent to Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of the War Industries Board who some time ago requested reconstruction sugges- tions from various industries.
 No copies of the letter of sugges- ton sent to MT. Baruch were made public, but 1t is understood that the manufacturers pointed out that the prosperity of the country demanded careful and well-considered action to- ward their industry which is ranked as the third most important industry in the country.
 The manufacturers, it is understood. have been advised that the suspension of war contracts with the Buck fac tory at Flint, Mich., and the failure of the government to provide raw ma terials so that the factory could swing at once to the manufacture Of automobiles, has resulted in the lay ing off of about 10000 employees, Many men are also idle at the Chalm- CTS factory at Detroit.

BRITISH PLAN
 DEMOBHIZATION

London, Nov. 20--(Correspondence of the Associated Press) men and those who have seen long service in the British armies will re- ceive first consideration in the demob- ilization of British fighting forces, says Dr. Christopher Addison, Minister of Reconstruction. "Piv0@aP' men, he said, would come back early.
 The demobilization, said the Min ister, should be so conducted that millions of men in the navy and army would have an early opportunity of employment. Accordingly a plan ar ranged on industrial requirements had been prepared.
 As men are demobilized they will be re-employed in the various indus tries from which they were withdrawn to enter the army. There will be special facilities giving access to the land, said pr. Addison. Gardens or larger plots will be provided.
 Councils composed of employers and working men have been organized 1 in 40 or 50 different trades. Already 1 these bodies are removing sources of irritation and bringing a spirit of soli- darity, better spirit then prevailed under former agreements, said the l Minister.
 Inasmuch as the necessity for pro. ducing as much food as possible vii not end with the war, pr. Addison said he believed some control over the use of the land would continue to be exercised by the government. Great Britain should manufacture nitrateE for manures on a large scale.
 The Minister declared that unless care was exercised there would be great deal of speculation while tht demobilization of the army was il progress and prices might advance tt the great detriment of industry.

Japanese Arts and letters.

The Yamat0 association has been
formed by distinguished Japanese cit
liens for the purpose of making Nip
pon's achievements in arts and letters
better known to the western world. Its
promoters believe that Japanese civil
ization is not correctly understood by
the vast majority of Occidental people.
Her naval military and scientific adj
vancement is recognized, but the West
has yet to comprehend the significance
of her achievements in the humanities.
The Japan Magazine, commenting
upon the new organization. says:
"AIany foreigners are disposed to look
upon Japan as merely a military ma
ton, whereas her most important side
is the genius of her unique civilization
and character. If people could get a
glimpse of the soul of Japan they
would have quite a different opinion of
her. This can best be had from Jap
anese art and literature. which In many
ways are equal TO those of the West.
Even those Occidentals who try to ap-
preciate Japanese art prefer the least
representative art of the nation. And
as for japanese literature. 1t Is prac-
tically unknown among western peo-
pie"
The association will publish works
on Japanese history, literature and art
and make translations into European
languages of the best works of Japan
csc writer's, ancient and modern: in
addition its endeavor will be to pro-
mote the Improvement of the national
music and drama.

4REMEMBER.p

When the men of the army or the
navy make up their minds to "remem-
ber'' something, they do not forget
And they remember by acting. The
Alamo was remembered" and the
Maine was remembered not in
bloodthirsty hatred, but in the spirit of
justice. 1t is proverbial that Ameri-
cans are slow to anger, that their
good nature can stand great deal of
rubbing he wrong way before it be-
comes bristly. But, as was demonstra-
ted in the Revolutionary, Mexican,
Civil and Spanish-American struggles,
the Just anger of the American is
shown not by wordiness, but by action.
Because the American people as
whole have not been giving expression
from the housetops to hatred over the
unrighteous methods employed in Ger
man warfare, the German autocrats
have been trying to convince the Ger
man masses that Americas heart is
not in this war. that the stalwarts of
the new world are being dragged into
military service. Not long ago hand
full of American engineers fought an
oYerp0wering force of Germans and
fought it 10 standstill II was then
that some of the Germans at least
were convinced that the new foes
could be lighting mad"
Men can be fighting mad, said an
American army officer recently, "even
when they are smiling. 1t is. sand by
those who know him that General
Custer always wore a gentle smile,
even while in battle, and that he never
allowed himself to become ruffled or
excited. Whatever anger the Ameri-
can fighting forces show will be shown
in action-and then these forces will
prove their ability to figrt against the
finest of the kaiser's warriors
Now, in this remembering bust
ness, the men of the navy and the
men of the army have determined to
remember the Tuscania and the gal
liant lads who went down with her.
But these men should not be expected
to do all the remembering The
whole nation should remember that
disaster, and every man, woman and
child in the land can do so. All of us
cannot go to the fighting front and do
our remembering but everyone of us
who stays at home can remember
that disaster and the Illegal method by
which the Tuscania was sunk, by lend
ing the Government money with which
to right the great wrong. Every per-
son who buys Liberty bonds can put
himself on record as having 'remem-
bered' the Tuscania and the lads who
lost their lives when she was torpe-
decd off the Irish coast
