Col. Churchill Indignant Over Vicious
Gossip.
Democracy for young women war
workers has become an issue in Wash
ington.
The problem Of appointed matrons
with arbitrary powers over the young
women war workers in the government
dormitories now under construction
here. or installing the selfgovernment
or honor system, is puzzling the clerks
housing committee. The committee Is
composed of representatives OF the gov
TefnnfsR departments and -agencfes
who are interested in the welfare Of
young women and II co-operated with
tho government housing bureau in
working out the plans for the dormi-
tories. Many angles Of the problem OF
amount of freedom that Is good for
young women alone in a large city
were brought out.
II believe IL the war lasts much
longer young women war workers will
be required to enlist and have their
food. clothing and quarters regulated
the same as the men," said Miss Mar
jorie Day, a member Of the committee.
This military discipline is being car
ried out voluntarily at Camp Columbia.
where young women war workers
sleep In tents and receive two nour-
ishing meals day for s35 a month.
1.-The girls enjoy the military dis
cipline," said Miss Day. who Is In
charge out there. They like to live
as their brothers do In the camps. All
girls must be in camp with lights out
at $50. Anyone who wishes to stay
out later must apply to headquarters
and sign up. stating where she Is going
and what hour she will be back"
Many young women refuse to live In
a place where such rules are enforced.
1T Is just like going to boarding
school," they say. They don't make
rules like that where young women
live, and in this day Of equal rights we
don't see why young women are dis
eliminated against in this matter"
Regulations requiring matron may
be abrogated should the housing COM
mittee see .fit to install the honor sys-
tenn, with a representative committee
Of the girls in each dormitory making
the rules and seeing they are enforced
for leaving it to the conscience OF each
occupant
Miss Fagin, Of the local Y. N. c. A..
who handles rooms Of girls. says that
but few complaints come to her offce
about girls who misbehave. but that
girls through iEexperience in being
away from home often act in such
manner as to have their characters
misjudgcd is undoubtly true.
Mrs. Grundy Is an active worker In
Washington as an enemy agent. Re-
ports are being spread that among the
Thousands of girls who have poured
into the city and the men from the
surrounding camps, there Is great
deal Of immortality.
"These stories are untrue and sour
rilous," said Colonel Churchill. CHIEF
of the military intelligence branch OF
the general staff Of the army
Such stories hinder government
work in that they tend to prevent
young women from coming here and
also cause parents to withdraw their
daughters from war work in Washing
ton. AS such they fall under the head
of enemy propaganda.
Patriotic citizens will not permit
themselves to be used as agents for the
spread Of this sinister and venomous
fabrication"

WASHING
TON GOSSIP
E d N

Washington, May 26.-(Special cor
pondence.)--Representative Merrill
Moores of Indiana has collected a
mass Of data in support Of the meas
ure he has introduced giving the Fed
eral courts jurisdiction yer the crime
Of lynching. In effect Mr.. Moore's
measure broadens the scope of an act
already on our statute books, which
permits the trial in a Federal court of
accused persons who cannot get JUS
tice in the state courts. The Con-
gresham has ascertained that we
have paid to foreign governments al
most 100000 for the murder by lynch
ing Of approximately 100 of their citi-
zens within borders. That pay
ment has been because of the guaran-
tee in our Constitution that no person
shall be deprived of his life without
due process Of law. Many times state
authorities have demonstrated their
inability to deal properly with those
responsible for lynchings, and Mr.
Moores believes that it is high time
the Federal Government should ster
in and secure to Dur own citizens the
rights which foreign governments de-
mand for their subjects in this coun-
try.

The beneficial results that have

joint committee Of thirty Representa-
tives and twenty Senators shall be .ap-
pointed to make an official visit to the

last year was purely unofficial in char
acter, andsth members paid.their own
expenses. 1lr. James would appro-
pirate $4,000 for the expenses Of the
COMMITTEES he has proposed, and re
quire that. their investigation be ON
cluded in four months and q report
made to Congress.lThe observations
made by members who have been on

that their conclusions and recon.

FARMERS CAN
USE IDEAL LAND
Says COUNCIL
RADICAL ACTION TAKEN TO AS
SURE MAXIMUM PRODUCTION
IN NORTH DAKOTA.

Bismarck, N. D., May 27.-Follow-
ing the formal adoption Of a resolu-
ton comforting upon any North Da-
kota farmer authority to go upon, and
break up and SOW in crop any idle
land in his vicinity held by non resi-
dents, the North Dakota Council Of
Defense on Tuesday adopted a speci-
fc order directing F. j. Platen of
Dunn Center to take possession Of a
section Of land near that place owned
by q nonresident, and to plant the
same to flax, with the understanding
that he shall have possession Of the
same section next year, when the land
will be planted to wheat.
This is the most radical action tax
en- to date in North Dakota to assure
the government a maximum produc-
ton from Flickertail farms. The de-
tense council resolution provides that
msthe case Of new breaking, the own
er shall receive ten per cent of the
net proceeds as his share of the crop,
while from land which already has
been broken, he shall receive Is per
cent. The only recourse the owner Of
idle lands has is to cultivate them
himself. If he shows NJ inclination
to put them into crop, the North Da-
kota council of defense will order the
lands taken over by someone wts3 can
and will cultivate them.
The immediate purpose Of this &C.
ton is to insure a maximum crop of
flax. The flax acreage already sown
is smaller than usual because much
land that ordinarily would have gone
into flax has been sown into wheat.
The council of defense intends to en-
courage the breaking Of every acre of
land for which men and teams OF
tractors can be found, and the coun-
ellis legal advisors assure the board
that it has a perfect right to take such
steps, as a war measure.
In the Dunn Center instance, it was
reported that=E. ]. Platenyhad a trac:
tor outfit standing idle; that he hat
attempted to lease the land in question
without success, and that with author.
ity from the council he would taxi
over the tract and cultivate it.

this had to be done after dark, and oc-
