NOT ENOUGH SNOW sHovELERs.
Little Rock Has Unusual Problem
 From LealsY Roofs.

Little Rock, Jan. lS.-"lO0 men wanted to shovel snow, 80 cents an hour" This is the unusual sign that is posted on Main street. And the fact that the number of men who have applied for work is far short of 100 is proof that the army of the unemployed is very small quantity these days Thirty cente an hour and a pair of rubber boots is the price that all have been de- manding of the city, the street rail- way, and others who are interested in the removal of tne snow from the sidewalks and streets.
 Never before in the history of the city have such conditions existed. The snow has been on the ground for seven days and very little of it has melted. It lies from six inches to two feet deep all over the city. The street railway is just beginning to open up it's lines, and in some of the suburban districts the cars will not he running until next week, un- less there should be sudden thaw.
 The heavy weight of snow on roofs. where there has been some thawing. has caused thousands of dollars of damage to mercantile stocks as the stores have leaked like sieves All in all, the conditions have been such that the oldest in- habitant is dating his epochs from January. 1918

BERNSTORFF WAS IN LEAGUE
 WITH FRENCH PREMIER
Lansing Today Publishes Intercept ct Messages Between Caillaux and
 German Ambassador to u. $.

Washington, Jan. i6.-The State Department this morning published its intercepted correspondence be- tween former German Ambassador von Bernstorif and former French Premier Caillaux, showing that the latter was in direct communication with German agents in Argentina in 1915.
 The first Bernstorff dispatch con talned very damaging references to the French government, and warned the German newspapers against praising him.
 Another dispatch gives notice of q ship on which Caillaux was sail ing from Argentina and planned it's capture by submarines.
 The capture of the ship was sought because of the fact that her captain carried important docu- ments.
 Germany was asked to treat Gail laux with every possible courtesy in the event of the capture of the ship
 The Caillaux correspondence was made public today by the State De- partment by arrangement with the French government.
 Caillaux now is awaiting trial in France for treason on the revela- tions developed in the Bolo Pasha case.

 When she came back to her room after that last concert, wearied with the effort of listening to chattering women and playing the gracious lady to an admiring contingent which in sisted upon making her last appear ance social triumph, she found let ter forwarded from Seattle. She slit the envelope. A typewriter sheet in- folded green slip-a check. She look ed at the figures. scarcely comprehend Ing until she read the letter
 We take pleasure in handing you herewith" Mir. Lander wrote for the firm, ''our check for S19.50O, proceeds of oil stock sold as per your telegraph ed instructions, less brokerage charges. We sold same at par and trust this will be satisfactory"
 She looked at the check again. Nine teen thousand five hundred payable to her orderl Two years ago such sum would have lifted her to plutoeratic heights. filled her with pleasurable ex- citement, inaumerable anticipations. Now 1t stitred her less than the $500 she had just received from the Grana- da concert committee. She had earned that, had given for 1t due measure of herself This other had come without effort without expectation. And less than she had ever needed money be- Gore did she now require such sum.
 Sue was her own mistress, free as the wind F'yfe had said that. She looked out into the smoky veil that shrouded the water front and the hills across the inlet, that swirled and ed- died above the giant fir in Stanley park, and her mind licked back to Roaring lake where the Red Flower of Kipling's Jungle Book" bloomed to her husbands ruin.

 Curled among the pillows of her bed that night, she looked over the evening papers, read with swift heart sinking that the Roaring lake fire was assum- ing terrific proportions that nothing but a deluge of rain would stay 1t now. And more significantly. except for minor blaze or two. the fire ragged almost wholly upon and around the Fyfe block of limits.

WOMEN IN TROUSERS. (By F. w. Barber.)

No, there is no satire in that heading. It is the cold, logical truth which we must face-and that prob ably very soon.
 In Europe the women are doing men's work while the men are at the front smashing their enemies. it is a necessity which they may not shirk, and which they do not want to shirk. The skirt is seri- ous obstacle in the proper perfcrm- ance of these duties, hence the skirt has been discarded and is replaced by the masculine trousers.
 If this war lasts for year or two longer-and wise men declare it will
 then the women of our country will be performing the tasks Of our own men who are sent to the trenches.
 It is quite within the bounds of possibility, even probability, that our army will be increased to five or ten million men, and in such an event millions of women must go to the shops, the factories, and the fields wherever a man has been taken away and there is no other to take his place.
 Sane people of both sexes will welcome the adoption of any gar- ment that will aid them in their duties and make life less irksome for them.
 A few senseless prudes will of course be mortified, but the prudes have not made the world, have been of little benefit to it, and they will not end it.
 Women in trousers are inevitable. It must come. And the sooner we become reconciled to the thought the easier it will be for these upon whom necessity forces the innova- tiOn.

 GREAT BRITAINS U. S. DRIVE FOR RECRUITS TO ARMY
English Subjects Here From f9 to i5 Taken for Active Service-TOld
 to "Get Out and Fight"

Chicago, Jan. i7.--practically ev- cry man in the British Canadian re- cruiting mission here has been wounded; all have seen active serv- ice, according to Major w. s. Biggs.
 A recent duty of the mission has been the visiting of large employers of labor turnout the middle west and even addressing the men. Few auditors of the British officers guess that the officers carry one or more wounds. Some still have shell splin- ters i'll their flesh while others have but recently, after painful months, come out of the daze of shell shock. And when recovered they will go back for more.
 The thesis of their drive for re- cruits is that employers should not allow Britishers, resident in the United States, to stand around wait ing to step into jobs of drafted Americans.
 We tell 'em to give themselves a square deal,' said Lieutenant Mas son, who is about ready 10 return to France. Tt isn't right for some British blighter to hide behind the Stars and Stripes and get the berth of the good American who goes out to fight for it. We ask to men to see to 1t that these Britishers get out and fight. We take 'em from i9 to 45 for active service, and up to 56 years for special duties, such as shipbuiIding and carpentry

knew of him, much that was subcon- scious impression rising late to the sur face, a little that she heard from va- rious sources. The sum total gave her a man of rank passions, of rare and merciless finesse where his desires fig ured, man who got what he wanted by whatever means most fitly served his need. Greater than any craving to pos sess a woman would be the measure of his rancor against a man who humiliat- ed him, thwarted him. She could un- derstand how man like Monohan would hate a man like Jack Fyfe, would nurse and feed on the ven )m of his hate until settling a torch to Fyfes timber would be likely enough coun- terstroke.
 She shrank from the thought. Yet it fingered until she felt guilty. Though 1t made no material difference to her that Fyfe might or might not face ruin, she could not, before her own con science, evade responsibility The pow der might have been laid, but her folly had touched spark to the fuse as she saw it. That scared her like pain far into the night For every crime pun ishment, for every sin a penance Her world had taught her that. She had never danced; she had only listened to the piper and longed to dance as nature had fashioned her to do. But the piper was sending his bill She surveyed 1t wearily. emot,onally bankrupt, wonder ing in what coin of the soul she would have to pay.
