u. S. MAY TRAIN
WOMEN IN CAMPS
FOR FARM WORK

The United States may be forced 70
follow the example successfully
worked out by England and establish
large Government controlled farm
work training camps for women as
an emergency plan for tilling every
available acre TO increase the food
supply.
Three Government agencies are at
work on the proJect-the Depart
ments OF Agriculture and Labor and
the Council OF National Defense. The
critical situation in foodstuRs to-
gether with the urgent need OF all
skilled man power in war Industries
has caused the Government to COM
mence serious consideration OF the
question OF women Tor farm work.
American women are performing
great service in Red Cross and gen
eral relief work. but there are thou
sands who want to work on the
farms in the lighter tasks, and many
have applied to the Department OF
Labor for instruction.
Following a conference with the
two departments and the woman'S
OF the Council OF National
Defense. 1t was decided to impose i'm
mediately on the 1000 county agents
Of the Department OF Agriculture the
task OF ascertaining from farmers
just how many women could be used
for speeding up the food production.
Mrs. Hilda Mulhauser Richards. d.
rector OF the Women's Division OF the
United States Employment Service.
was placed in charge OF the enroll
ment and distribution OF voluntary
woman workers. and the women'l
OF the Defense Council was
with the subsequent location
OF the prospective training camps.
with their State representatives
allotted the task OF supervising the
under which the women
might work.
Women will not be taken from
their city work and homes and per
mitted to work on farms until they
will have proved their physical 1T
ness for the work In one OF the train
Ing stations, II is proposed. Should
the movement prove successful here,
the Government or the State branches
Of the council together with womsn's
colleges may provide the training
farms. Vassar College has $50 acres
Of farm land TO offer.

GERMAN PAPER SCORNS
SUFFRAGIST MISSION

THE HAGUE, Feb. 25.-The Frank
furter Zeitung has Just learned from
Switzerland that Mrs. Norman de r
Whitehouse, the American suffrage
leader, has been sent to Switzerland
TO appeal to German Socialists and
suffraGists from headquarters in that
country.
II recalls the fact that Mrs. white
house was a guest OF the American
embassy in Berlin in the winter o.
1914 and attended Socialist and sur
fragist meetings. II quotes Ambas-
sador Gerard as saying that the ac-
Quaintances made at that time will
enable Mrs. Whitehouse to reach the
ears OF German women, but II adds:
Tho lady may reach German wo-
mems ears, but hardly their hearts;
and the Socialists will also give her
to understand that they cannot be
reached by Wilsonian propaganda"

approval is TO argue that Henry Wat
teTson's Endorsement Is enough for any
Democrat who RspireS to the Presiden-
tial nomination OF 1870.
Nobody at the White House-neither
President Wilson or Secretary Tumulty
made any comment. But anyone who
has followed New Jersey politics knows
what must be the feelings OF the two
men who even while in Washington
have kept their eyes on the tricks and
maneuvers, whereby vested interests and
the little cars OF New Jersey were slow
ly reaching out to recover the power
wrested from him by the Wilson move
ment in that State.
Mr. Wilson did not ask for the
appointment of a Democrat. He took
no part in the contest. He expressed
no opinions, but he would have been
heartened IL Governor Edge had pick
ed a progressive Republican for what
over the party label there Is always
a kinshlp between men who have
sincerely at heart the welfare OF the
people. II would have been an indi-
cation that the crusade for progress
sivism inside the Republican party
had not died.
Gives Democrats Chance.
As It Is the selection of Baird which
means that the Democrats who a
month ago would never have been
credited with a chance TO win next
fall, now have such q chance. The
people OF New Jersey have never
chosen wrongly when their eyes were
able to see what the selection OF pub
lie officials OF the old line Republican
or Democratic schools meant to polit-
ical liberty and honest government.
The whole New Jersey situation
has been changed by the uncovering
Governor Edge has revealed himself
in the true light OF a man bargain
ing with a political boss and bench
man to act as stop-gGp until next
fall. Had IL been a State office or
a minor appointment. no such re-
sentiment would have been awakened
Put the Congress OF the United
States is today absorbed in a task
of war, a task that involves human
life as no other legislative uhdertak-
ing OF our history has done. And to
represent the State of New Jersey.
Governor Edge picks a man seventy
eight years old. with a political rec
ord that was until today regarded,
as merely a relic OF an era that had
passed OF the stage OF American
politics.
Not sudden
There was fothing sudden about
the appointment. Governor Edge let
the news leak" so that all the in
dlgnatIon might spend itself early. so
that in these days Of kaleidoscope
events and absorbing war interests
the announcement might be clipped
over, and the people lulled Into be-
lleving that Mr.. Baird had completely
changed his spots and would make a
wonderful SENATOR man nearly
eighty years old.
But the curious thing to explain IS
the attitude of the Newark Evening
News. long the bulwark OF progress
siVism in New Jersey. The News
could have prevented the appoint
ment, II was aware OF what WIS 60
ing on, but 1t passed the opportunity
by. The News has actually Endorsed
the appointment. And il was the News.

gang the board OF guardians" and

Baird Stands Pat.

II Baird were the only Republican
of Senatorial stature In New Jersey:
IL he had had some experience in
national Legislation, II, indeed. in the
last few years he had shown evi
dcnce OF having seen the light and
the multiplying liberals who were
getting the upper hand in America,
the liberals and proEressives who
won last years national election for
President Wilson, his chastened per-
sonality would not be Objectionable.
But David Baird. aged seventy-eight.
is Just what he was at sixty eight
and at ffty-eight. His mind stands
pat
Who else could Governor Edge have
chosen? II he insisted on a Republi-
can to succeed the late William
Hughes, who was both a liberal and
q Democrat. there were several splen.
did Republicans whom be could have
named.
Edmund Wilson. former attorney
general OF New Jersey. q Republican,
would have made q good United States
Senator.
Gilbert Collins, former supreme
court Justice, a Republican, would
have been a good United States Sen
ator.
So would Vivian NJ. Lewis and Ev-
srett Colby. They are all Republicans.
ANY OF these men would have been
welcomed here by President Wilson
at time when no needs the wisest
and most enlightened counsel OF men
in both parties.

pared by Washington merchants.

Mr.. Morrison asked the Committee

seemed to ring true, and gave him the
relns OF government
And he put on the statute books
legislation 10 safeguard the people
against further wronE-doing. But
little by little, by one political trick
or another, by jokers and ambiguous
provisions, Governor Edge has at
tempted to break down those safe
guards until today he Is putting
through the legislature an amend
ment to the Geran act whereby the
governor will have power to dictate
the makeup of all county election
boards and through them Will control
1000 district election officers.
Personal Control.
All politicians in New Jersey will
tell you privately that a candidate for
United States Senator ct next Sep
TENDERS primaries could hardly wish
for a more efficient method Of per-
sonaI control. Furthermore, Mr..
Baird is expected to deliver South
Jersey Republicans when Mr.. Edge
enters the Republican primaries for
Senator. The trade Is palpabla.
All this in tho Presidents own
State, which had come TO be regarded
as a progressive State. All this at a
time when the cries OF oppressed peo-
pies for a voice in their government,
for DIFFERENTIATION, for a freedom
from the bondage OF permanent ArmR-
ments and from doctrines OF all for
militarism's oligarchy and nothing
for the toilers. is causing an unprece-
dented upheavAl--ths reRdjustment OF
the social order in the whole world
To think OF David Baird as voting
In the United States Senate for the
great State of New Jersey. and when
not voting TO see him sitting in COM
mlttees where Legislation for the con-
duct OF democracy's war Is being dis
cussed-is to think of Mark Hanna
back IN harness again and sundry
other persons who nRuseated the re
spectacle elements OF the Republican
party and gave cause for the original
insurgent movement OF a decade ago.
