COUNTESS LIS1 CIPRIAN1 and the
- Countess de Bryas are in Philadel-
phia today. each speaking on the war
work OF women In foreign countries
The Countess de Bryas was here
earlier In the year, when she spoke of
the work and conditions in devastated
France. She had been doing reconstruc-
ton work with Miss Anne Morgan, with
the American committee for devastate
France.
Countess Cipriani has had opportun,rv
TO see the work of the women in Ita,v
put on account Of her relationship 70 n
tdni'ly which has served its country zeal
ously TOT generations has obtained priv
.leges offered to few other women. To
her rather. her uncle, who married Miss
Worthington. Of Baltimore, and TO one
olher statesman was intrusted the franz
lns o! tne treaty made between France
ana italy In 1889. Her last brother fell
IN this war. The Italian Government
asked her to go TO the front to make
Sketches or the men and gave her special
permits She lived in America many
years. studying part of the tinfe al the
University of Chicago where she took
her B. a., NJ A, and doctors degrees
I'm here to talk about the work that
Italian women have done in the war"
she said this afternoon. Much has been
said already for the patience and
efficiency Of the women of all the coun-
tries, out much more can be said II Is
admirable" Her face lit up with en-
thusiasm; thin. intellectual sort of
lace, with restless black eyes and crisp
iron-gray hair above It
The finest work that they have done
is among the children. Italy saw quickly
that her sons must fall by the thousa nds
and ten of thousands; but that If the
i'dren grew up strong, unblemished
pF the scars that will rest upon the
country. Italy still is safe
One point that is important is that
the women from the beginning took
their place side by side with the. men
steadily they slid into the places that
the men left: they took up the work
as 1t was left to them calmly and with
out any excitement Now the women
are In everything So far as work in
the munitions factories is concerned
there is no department not operated
entirely or in part by the women.
Another most excellent branch of their
work has been the providing of restau-
rants where people working OH paltry
salaries can go. You see, it is not the
! laborer that suffers with the price of
I! living in these war times. but the clerk
and the stneographer with their tiny
pay-your restaurants. even your very
cheapest. would be a terrible problem
to some of those poor young people As
for the besgars, and that class soup
kitchens are driven around the streets.
'Cnquestionably Italian women will
| be given the vote when this war is
over" said the countess and smiled as
she added II know that Is what YOU

always want to ask They won't have
to ask for it. They will have proved
that they are ready for it, that they
are capable of filing any public posi-
ton, If that is what they wish.
"One thing l think is different in the
training of Italian women from your
American women: it is that they are
educated with the men since time i'm
memorial Italian women have studied
at the universities right with the men :;
graduating with them. taking their sci
entific degrees with them. Now here,
of course. YOU have what you call your
coeducational colleges. where the women
are off in hen coops by themselves,
where they have not that competition
with men, which at the same time stimu-
lates them and brings them to a clearer
understanding of mems points of view :"
Countess Cipriani expects to exhibit
some of her pastel sketches here in the
fall The subjects range from Italian
soldiers and strange, peaceful mountain
tops. where guns are concealed beneath
thick foliage, to pictures of chubby,
wstful little refugees

Gregory that hereafter no leniency shall

partment of Justice and the legal ma

traces of German poison gas attacks
against good sense in this city is well
known, although tracing down the
''rumors' has been one of the most ardu-
Gus pursuits Government agents have
encountered
Like Work in Russia
According to information passed BY
the committee on public information in
Washington, the first direct objective of
German propaganda Is to set public
opinion against Britain. France and
Japan, thus to destroy Allied unity of
thought and action.
The second objective has been to stir
up class prejudice, labor troubles reli-
gious differences and political animosity ::
the exact description of the propaganda
which found a vital spot in the heart
Of Russia and brought her to German
designs to make her weapon against
her former allies.
Lie Regarding Nurses
Ofhcials of the Red Cross report that
many mothers refuse to allow their
daughters to serve as nurses in France
because of the reports, Of immoral con-
ditions "over there" One of the sto-
ries introduced, circulated and invent
ed by German propagandsts has been
to the effect that zoo nurses from the
Red Cross hospitals in France have
been secretly returned to this country
and placed in maternity hospitals.
The Committee on Public Information
denies the whole fabric of the tale and
stamps it indelibly as German work
vestigated by grand jury in New
York and it was indisputably disproved.
German sympathizers caught circulating
the runor have been interned The
story was invented with a. view to re-
tarding the work of the mercy organi-
cation.
Drunkenness among our soldiers
abroad is another fabrication Of a pro-
German Imagination. To indicate the
scope OF the effort to displace conf
dence in the moral stamina and stripe
Of our men in the war, it is shown that
the cry was even taken up by prohibi-
ton leaders in the country and by ed
itors of many religious papers. who
circulated appeals to readers asking
them to protest to the President The
number of protests accurately gauged
the effect Of the propaganda. All suca
allegations are false.
Forged letters pretending to have
been written by someone in France have
been found in the Hobbies Of theatres.
They were usually devoted to lies about
the slaughter of American regiments.
Stories that American soldiers are de-
voting themselves to drink about the
streets of London are false

CHAPTER XXI.

Punishments and Machine-Gun Stunts.
Soon after my arrival in France; in
fact, from my enlistment, l had found
that in the British army discipline is
very strict. One has to be very care
ful in order to stay on the narrow path
of government virtue.
There are about seven million ways
of breaking the kings regulations; to
keep one you have to break another.
The worst punishment is death by a
firing squad, or up against the wall.
as Tommy calls it.
This Is for desertiOn, cOwardice, mu-
tiny, giving information to the enemy,
lOOting. rape. rObbing the dead. forcing
safeguard, striking superior. etc.
Then comes the punishment of sixty
four days in the front-line trench with
out relief. During this time you have
to engage in all raids, working parties
in No Mans Land. and every hazardous
undertaking that comes along. If you
live through the sixty-fOur days you
are indeed lucky.
