Women Are Now Enjoying the Greatest
Opportunity in History Of Business


The rapid adaptation of women to business, made necessary by the
governments "work-or-fght" order, is the source Of real encouragement
to Chicago employers. After a period Of gloom directly following the
issuance Of the order employers have come to the realization that men are
no longer indispensable.
Nor is the woman for stenographc, clerical and socalled "minor"
Office duties alone. The woman executive has come into her own. Our
womens department within the last few weeks has placed a large number
of ~highgrade women in executive and semiexecutive positions, and the
women placed are responding to the satisfaction of the employers.
Moreover, women are succeeding in travelling sales work to a far
greater extent than ever expected. This branch Of the distribution force
was hit unusually hard by the draft and enlistment of travelling statesmen,
and for a time, until the experimenting with women began to produce
worthwhile results, the outlook was serious for a number of firms who
get their goods before buyers through personal solicitation. The success
of travelling saleswomen is perhaps the most encouraging result Of the
present readjustment.
The inexperienced woman is enjoying the greatest opportunity in
the history of business. More unskiled beginners have entered the Chi
cago business field in the past month or so than in any years Of our bust
ness history Employers report entire satisfaction with the use of this
class of Office help.
The novelty of the new situation is gradually wearing away. Tray
elers no longer express surprise when, upon registering at a hotel, they
are confronted by a woman desk clerk, nor are women elevator operators an
unusual sight; several Chicago hotels have in successful operation these
innovations.
The demand for high-grade men is as heavy as ever, bookkeepers and
other forms of higher office force being in especial demand. Manufacture
ing concerns are badly in need of various classes of technical men and
unskilsd help.
AT present business is in the midst of its readjustment and the stua-
ton will remain unsettled until some time after the "work-or-fght" order
is in effect.

People Of Germany Prove Themselves in
Wrong by Treacherous Actions

Who cheered and held school festivals and struck medals when our
women and children sank with the Lusitania? The German people, the
women and children of Germany
Who have spit on our prisoners when they have been carried wounded
through German towns? The women and children.
Who have sent the soldiers of Germany into battle full of hatred
for us? The womanhocd of Germany.
Who have tempered with airplanes made in this country SO that
scores of young American boys have been killed by the machines break
ing? KiRd-faced German mechanics in the American factories.
We must not take it out in angry grimaces, in tearing up all the
German music on our pianos or in refusing to deal with German grocers.
We mast send the hate along over the sea as we send our soldiers. We
must fill them with it, must send them into battle backed by the feeling
that We are behind every bayonet thrust of theirs and that we want them
to do to the Germans what the Germans have done to our allies and to
our defenseess ones wherever they could find them.
We know we're right. We know Germany is wrong. We know Ger
many is a liar, a foul fighter, a nation whose population and people hate
us ~implacably and are fighting the better because of that hate. All right;
let us hate back.

"Old Glory" at Front

Still following the tiny Stars and
Stripes, a little bigger than a pocket
handkerchief, but, as one of the men
said afterwards, Cooking like a regu-
lar flag" the Americans, shoulder to
shoulder with the Australians, passed
through the eastern end Of the wood
and out into the open fields again.
'The first time | have ever fought I'M
der the American flag, Yank," said a
tall, raw-boned Queenslander with a
first-aid bandage round his head. They
arrived at their final objective, a group
Of strong. ell-sheathed trenches

Ell village, and here the Chicago SER
geant planted his emblem on a bit Of

London.-When the Illinois troops
and Australians attacked together at
Vaire wood and Hamel, a sergeant OF
the American contingent took into ac-
ton a small American flag, the gift OF
his mother. The men under him sur
rounded and destroyed a machine-gun
post hidden among tree trunks just
inside the wood. AS they went on af-
ter bombing the German crew, the ser
yeant brandished the little flag over
his head and shouted, "COme on, fell
lows; there's another one" Just ahead
some Australians were fighting around
a shallow pit in which were five Prus-
slams and a machine gun. Two or
three Chicago boys dashed up with
their bayonets poised. One of them lit
orally fell on a big R%hinelander who
was about to throw a bomb and sent
him sprawling with a cracked skull,

nainder of the crew out Of action and

1t is unfortunate that too many
school authorities find the recognized
needs of the schools so pressing and
so difficult to get that they fail to sec
the necessity Of providing the gardens
and grounds that give the schools al
effective environment. AS in so many
other phases of school work the init

supplement the efforts Of principals
and teachers by buying additional land

Major Sibley's battalion of the Sixth

through a heavy machine gun barrage

ticularly in the smaller communities, that is unsurpassed for direct
national service.
1t is from the point of view of possibilities in the home community,
then, that urge teachers to face the summer vacation. For many patri-
otto teachers it need not be o much a change of scene as a change Of
activity. The suburban teacher who has been doing her work under the
formal conditions that still prevail in too many school. can work her own
garden or help work someone ekes, Better still, she can help her boys
and girls in their home gardens, as a hundred thousand or more patriotic
teachers are doing in the United States school garden army organized
under the department of he interior. 1t will help the food situation and
the teacher who does this work will be a better teacher for her contact
with the soil.
For the teacher who wants to do Red Cross work there is the field
of junior membership that has been opened up. Here, too, the teacher
can not only help her children produce things for the soldiers but she
will be getting something that will make her fundamental work of teach
ing better and she will be giving an example of the schools influence in
the community that will be valuable in the many more emergencies of
the coming months and years.
Many teachers will wish to go away for a rest and change, for a
part of The summer at least. 1t is hard to think of a better rest and change
for such teachers, if they must leave the community, than to go to some
good summer school and learn how to do better the thing they are doing.

squad was repairing signal wires back
of the trenches. The sergeant halted
in his work and gazed skywards. A
pigeon was going over his head. The
sergeant watched 1t idly. calculating
as he stood there how far he'd lead 1t
with a ~12-gauge. Then with a sigh
he went t. laying a wire again.
A few minutes later the sergeant
stopped again. Another pigeon had
risen from the wood. But a few min
utes later, when a third pigeon rose
from the wood. the former trap-shooter
tarried no longer. A half hour later he
bOlted into the Quartermaster's depart

riedly.

That afternoon the sergeant got four
other birds. Attached to a leg Of each
pigeon was a code message In German
handwriting.
A short time later a detachment Of
military police got the owner Of the
pigeons. In his blouse and sabots he
looked like any Of the peasants filling
the fields behind the lines. On being
stripped, however, he proved to be a
German under officer. Since his cap

GRAPHIC STORY IN LETTER
Tells of Our Troops Heroic Resist.
anee in June-HeId by Many or
GERS to Have Saved Paris
From Huns.

Westinghouse graphic eyewitness
account of the fighting near Chateau
Thierry. in which American divisions,
including the marine brigade, took
part, early in June, was made public
recently by the navy department. 1t
is in the form of a long letter from an
officer of the marines to Major Gen
eral Barnett. commandant of the
corps, and the story told is of peculiar
significance, us In the opinion of many
officers here it was the stand Of the
Americans along this line which saved
Paris.
The name Of the writer Is not dis
closed. The Americans were rushed to
The line i'll mOtortrucks to support the
hard-pressed French. On June l the
marine brigade deployed in a support
position, the battalion commanded by
Maj. Thomas Holcomb hurrying into
the line as the men climbed out of the
trucks. The Germans were coming on,
and June . the French dropped back,
passing through the American lines.
I'VE had installed ourselves in a
house in La Vote Chatel, a little vii
lage between Champion and Lucy-le-
Bocage,' the letter says. "From one
side we had observation of the north
and northeast. They came out on a
wonderfully clear day in two columns
across a wheat field. We could see the
two twin brown columns advancing In
perfect order until two-thirds of the
columns, We judged, were in sight.
Foe Slowed Up by %Shrapnel.
1.-THE rifle and machine gun fire was
incessant and, overhead, shrapnel was
bursting. Then the shrapnel came on
the target at each shot. The white
patches would roll away, and we could
e that some of the columns were still
there, slowed up, and 1t seemed perfect
suicide for them to try.
"Then, under that deadly fire and q
barrage of rife and machlne-gun fire,
the Boche stopped. 1t was too much
for any men.
THAT men should fire deliberately
and use their sights and adjust their
range he says, was beyond their ex-
perience. 1t must have had a telling
effect on the morale of the .BOche, for
1t was something they had not counted
on. AS a matter Of fact, after pushing
back the weakened French and then
running up against a stone wall Of de.
Tense, they were literally up In the
air and more than stopped. We found
that out later from prisoners, for the
Germans lever knew we were In the
front line when they made that at
tack. They were absolutely mystihed
at the manner In which the defense
stiffened up. until they found that our
troops were In line"

OF fighting that followed. 1t describes
a daylight charge against a machine
gun host and of scouting raids up to
