Berlin Is Puzzled.

From the New York World
In making his first bow to the main
committee Of the reiChstag, DIR. Won Kuhl-
mann. the new German imperial foreign
secretary, explained the secret principles
governing the policy of the masters Of
the science of diplomacy in Berlin. The
formula by means of which his predeces-
sors in the foreign office achieved a sue
cGssion of marvellous triumphs during the
past three years is now revealed. In the
Gothic form it reads.
1t is our important duty to study the
psychology Of our enemies. to follow their
intrigues and the changing currents OF
public opinion, so that our hand may not
be proffered when the spirit of our enc
mics is hard and unbending. and also so
that sharp words may not be said when
the ice on the other side is melting and. a
conciliatory feeling is beginning to be
shown.
What seems to puzzle the good doctor
most is that the entente allies do not
throw themselves into Germany's arms
and beg that all past differences be for
gotten. When Germany longs for peace
and sets in operation the machinery to
secure peace, it finds its m spirit
hard and u~nbending. The Belgians still
resent the invation of their country. the
p%ilaging of their cities and the enslave-
ment Of their people. The French are not
grateful for the devastation OF their prov
inces, the atrocities to which French
"Olltu dtio iIltH III LAX oIN'P'NN
lave been subjected and the destruction
of their homes and shrines. The British
retain a curious old fashioned regard for
the sanctity of treaty rights and are
reused to Indignation by Zeppelin raids
Of which hundreds OF n~on-combatants are
the victims. And even Americans do not
view with qualification the butchery OF
their own citizens on the high seas or the
sinking Of neutral ships and murder or
crews by submarine commanders.
With that extraordinary gift OF tact that
distinguishes the German autocracy, 1t
has treated "a situation that perpleXes It.
It's enemies distrust IT when it tries to
appear conciliatory, and even insist on
PREPARATION for the outrages they have en-
dured. This Is a brutal world in which
the kind hearted, humane and ingenious
statesmen that control Germany's govern
ment suffer the modification OF being
misunderstood In whatever they contrive
to do.

The Canadian Result.

From the Fargo, N. D., CoUriar-Ncws the
Non-Partisan League Daily Newspaper.
Canada has the heart and the deter
mination to "see it through" That is the
result to be read from the returns of the
dominion elections, which indicate a
strong government victory, a victory
fought on the single Issue Of CONSUMPTION
versus volunteering.
Canada's decision Is extremely slgnih-
cant to the United States. y land whose
whole tradition and precedent was for
the volunteer method and which only a
few months ago took pride that her sons
ven freely and of their own accord has
turned to the draft as the only fair way
and the only efficient way. Those who
said that the draft law in the United
States spelled the political death Of those
who voted for it will find themselves very
much mistaken when the Issue comes to u
test.
No nation can fight In this war or a
$3.50 basis. 1t must be all In the war or
all Is lost. Volunteering is a $3.50 method.
All citizens I'm war must yield TO the
common will. There will be other tests

Women Police Permanent.
From the New York Times.

There Is q women's police service In
England, which Is doing valuable work
quite distinct from that Of the women
patrols, a report Just issued announces.
The women have proved SO useful that
they may be continued as a permanent
branch Of the police force in times Of
peace.
In July. 1916, factory police work Cor
women was introduced, and daily de-
mands for the women officials are coming
In from factories in all parts of the United
Kingdom. Since that time the women
have been tried out and found to be
courageous and cool in times of danger.
and endowed with much tact and discre-
ton. In n Of the factories where the
women rave displaced entirely the men
police, civil and military. several thousand
women are employed In the manufacture
and handling Of some Of the most danger
ous explosives OF the war. When there is
an air raid these women police clear the
factory OF all employees and are left with
the ftremen In, sole charge Of the place.
Their work IL to stand guard at the
sheds and powder magazines. and not a
policewoman has ever shirked her dan
gerous duty. The cost Of training the
women IL supplied by the people inter-
ssted In the movement.
Last July, one year after the first had
gone into service, there were 62 OF these
p~olicewomen on duty.
Policewomen. In their course of train
ing. are given a special drill, they attend
the police courts to learn court procedure
and how to give and take evidence, they
study first aid and take lectures In civil
and criminal law, with special reference
to the laws relating to women and chill
dren. They are taught patrolling. In

laws for women m children. or their EN-
forcement, and 1t Is found that they go
more readily to policewomen than to po-
licemen to ask for information and ad-
advice.
The report states that good work could
be done all over tho country by police
women In dispslling this ignorance, and
that It would do much for the protection
Of children.

A Typewriter.
From Cottrell's Magazine.

rIVll SollIcIi Nlu6o1iiS'
About as useful a present as a parent
could make a 6-year-old boy or girl Is a
secondhand typewriter, both from a
standpoint Of amusement and education.
With a typewriter a child learns 20
spell, read and compose sentences with
out knowing 1.-THE element of interest Is
added to learning, which is the very best
kind of education, because it develops the
will. the desire to do, along with the de-
velopment of the intellect.
Then another thing, the typewriter is
today a universal implement In business.
and 1t Is becoming to be SO on the farm
and in the household.
The typewriter Is simply a device for
more efficient expression and by Its use
the facility Of efficient expression Will
become more universal.
Many classes Of men Of good education
and Of fine training, both in mind and
hand, are denied an extended facility OF
expression by reason of the fact that they
do not write legibly, often times the very
nature Of their training and employment
prevent the skilled use OF the pen or PEN
ell I'm writing.
For instance, draftsmen-architectural.
mechanical and free hand-are usually
illegible writer's because the hand for
freedom in drawing with a pen or pencil
Is In another position from that Of free
lon in ordinary writing.
In other words a free hand In dra wing
Is a cramped hand for writing.
The same Is true Of the finest mechanic
say watch tool makers, and for about
the ,sme reason as In the case OF the
craftsman.
The most skilled craftsman l ever knew.
one who could draw all architectural
forms and compositions with absolute
abandon and freedom wrote an absolutely
illesible hand; he could not compose a
letter, he had no facility OF expression.
simply because he could not write.
Take the farmer who may be ever so
skilled In soil and animal culture and ever
so we'll schooled In the matter Of general
education. yet no one can expect any very
great facility from him In the use OF the
pen or pencil.
Any OF these could develop the use OF
the typewriter In a two finger way. which
Is about the technique OF the average
newspaper man or telegraph operator.
This gives more speed. facility Of ex-

American Telephone Operators
Now Serving in France.
Hundred Who Were Sent Over Civ
Ing Such Efficient Service More
Will BE Sent.

Washington.-To the 100 girls from
America now doing service as military
telephone operators in France, $50
more In training schools here may soon
be added, leaving reserve force of
400 more on file out Of about 5000 ap-
pllcations.
The telephone is referred to as the
NERVES of the army" and the young
women who have been accepted for
this work have undergone tests as Sc
we're as those to which soldier at the
front is subjected.
The telephone exchanges often are
only short distance behind the
trenches, and the operator must pos
sess both courage and calmness under
dangerous circumstances.
"These girls" said Capt. +. J. Wes-
son, who recruited the unit, are going
to astound the people over there by
their efficiency. In Paris 1t takes from
40 to 60 seconds to complete one call.
Our girls are equipped to handle 300
calls an hour"
Other reports that have reached the
war department from France show
that the American hello girl is making
good rapidly in task as difficult as is
to be found back of the front line
| trenches.
The first group Of operators entered
training school here on January II
for instruction In advanced telephony.
They received practice In the largest
New York exchanges and were then
tried out at military cantonments, The
course included talks upon personal
| hygiene.
The first contingent sailed on March
.. Other groups sailed in March and
April and were stationed at supply de-
pots and debarkation bases.
In addition to speaking both French
and English fiuently. every one of
these girls has stood loyalty test
which proved that she could be trusted
with military information.
The uniform prescribed consists of
coat and skirt of navy blue serge,
shirtwaist Of navy blue Palm Beach
