FOR FORTY YEARS

Miss Eliza R. Hyde. eighty-seven
years old. employed in the Treasury
Department for fifty-two years, has
decided to quit work and take a rest
The remarkable record established
by Miss Hyde is set forth by Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo in a letter
accepting her resignation Mr.. Nc
Adoo says:
Dear Miss Hyde:
"Your duties have always been dis
charged with exemplary care and ac-
curacy, and your fidelity and pune
tuality are also worthy Of the high
est commendation- Your last promo
ton, well earned, I had the pleasure
OF approving in February Of last year.
The records show that in the past
forty years, or since 1870. you have
never for a single day been absent
without pay from your post OF duty.
THE books OF the Treasury also
show that for the past thirteen con-
secutive years. or since 1905. you have
not lost q single day from sickness.
but have, in fact, in these years given
to the Government a portion OF the
annual leave to which you were en-
titled. For thirty-fve years OF service
you were not absent a day on account
of sickness, and what is more Unusual
and. indeed, truly extraordinary. the
records indicate that you have never
been late in arriving at the Treasury

WOMEN THRIVING
ON HEAVY WORK

Ninety women are doing heavy work.
at the Atlantic Refining tCompany'S
plant at Point Breeze. Philadelphia,
according to William B. Purdy. EN-
ployment manager OF the plant.
They are doing mighty WELL" Mr..
Purdy said when questioned about
the efficiency of these laborers. I'VE
are going to employ about 200 more"
The women are employed to load
scrap iron on carts, to NIL trenches.
and to shovel coal They are doing
mems work and are receiving mems
pay, 80 cents an hour. The three
'forenen" who superintend the work
are women OF unusual type for the
occupation in which they are engaged.
One of them Is Miss Maud Z. Cor
ham, a graduate of Radcliffe and a
professor of English in Swarthmore
College; another is Mrs. Carol B.
Coke, formerly a newspaper writer.
and the third is Miss Isabel wurts
Page, a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Byrd Page, of Chestnut Hill,
a debutante OF three seasons ago, who
won her present job by demonstrat-
ing her fitness in ten hours work a
day at Frankfort Arsenal
The women at Point Breeze work
four and a half hours a day. Most
Of them are married and none Is un-
der thirty.
I'VE can't use young women on
this heavy work." Mr.. Purdy said
What we need is the middle-aged,
strong married woman accustomed to
Homework and not afraid of 1t. Some
of our new employees are thirty-hve,
forty, and even older. Each under
goes a physical examination. Some Of
the women are wives OF men en-
ployed at the plant and others belong
in nearby homes. All have been &C
customed to work and take the out
door labor as a diversion"
A one-story building has been as
signed to the women laborera Lunch
rooms, rest rooms, and lockers are
provided for them.

CAPITAL UBUANT
AT ALLY VICTORIES

Berlin bourse and CONSERVATION
throughout all Germany.
There was great interest every
where in official quarters as to what
attitude Germany and Austria will
take toward President Wilson's ad-
dress in New York Friday night. The
address was cabled directly to all
neutral countries adjoining the CEN
trail powers and should be available
in Berlin and Vienna-possibly in
garbled form-by tonight
Answers German Lies.
The warm Endorsement of the

with the outline OF just what
impartiaIity must be observed. so
that every one shall be given equal
opportunity as well as opposing the
economic boycott idea shapes for
enemy consumption sweeping truths
that demolsh the lying declarations
Of the German Junkers that Ger
many only is fighting for existence"
The German high control may elect
to denOunce the address but there Ia
hardly a person here in Washington
who does not believe that its potent
truths must impress the anti-Junker
OF both Germany and Austria as the
only way out"
Coupled with the realization OF
German defeat in all war fields. there
must come at once to the Teutonic
peoples knowledge that the hopes OF
a compromise peace are builded upon
a false foundation and there was
some hope here tonight that the mill
larry machine which has prolonged
the war may at last find itself in
serious trouble. And this, too. in the
face OF no peace talk.
Washington is not talking peace
II accepts the Presidents views as
its own and listens to the news from
the front. But il also is waiting with
keen interest to see with what tissue
Of lies the German Junkers will! Try
to again deceive the German nation
as to just where America stands and
whether ii viii again be possible TO
secure credence for such lies.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1918-09-29

Not since the first days of the
entry of the United States into the
war has war enthusiasm been so
pronounced in the crowded National
Capital as 1t Is today. The wonder
full news from all OF the allied fronts.
but especially from the west. where
the American-British-F Belgian
cooperating armies are sweeping all
before them, filled official and civil
ian Washington with pride. The
Liberty bond mass meetings took on
the complexion of loyalty gatherings
where the warmest praise of the SOL
diers was echoed again and again.
1t was the consensus of opinion OF
American and allied army experts
here that the German war machine,
built up through forty years OF
brutality and crushing of individual
ism, is ut the breaking point. With
shattering blows being delivered by
the British and Belgians in the eN-
treme north in the fpr"s sector; by
the British and Americans as they
moved forward to envelop Chambray; by
the French north OF the .NIsne and by
the French and Americans in the
anu " AlAN 'shs-h" NAAS-
was not q single evidence anywhere
that the German resistance was
strong enough to check the allies.
Allies Progress Steadily.
The impetuosity OF the allied troops
is steadily carrying them forward
and there are evidences that another
German retirement, this time on a
very wide scale. cannot long be
avoided. 1t Is the belief OF some OF
the best posted military experts in
Washington tonight that the Ger
mans must fall back to the line COZ
the Mouse within the next two or
three weeks. and there were some
optimists who held that the Rhine
forts will be under fire before WIN
ter really sets in.
Not alone is the German army
morale lower than has ever been con-
sidered possible. but the discomfort
at home indicates another political
crisis imminent. Not that much at
tention is being paid to political com
plications in GERMANY ~ the present
time. bus The fact that Count Won
HertlIng is reported to have thrown
I'D his post as imperial chancellor and
that the Emperor has been compelled
to ask him to stay because he has no
one with whom to replace him adj
mittedly was interesting. The news
that Bulgaria has asked to quit Is re-
