SUBDUE BY SUBSTITUTING

AS every one is affected by the war
so every one must help in every way
to win it. The Canadian Food Bulletin
makes a good listing of ways in which
substituting a aid in subduing the
submarine. 1t puts the matter this
way: Substitute
Service for Sneers.
Economy for Waste.
Fish for Beef or Bacon.
Cooperation for Criticism.
Production for Pessimism.
Performance for Argument,
Marketing for Telephoning.
Other Meals for White Flour.
Conservation for Conversation.
Vegetable Oils for Animal Fats.
Perishable for Preservable Foods.
The Garden Hoe for the Golf Stick.
Common Sense for Common Gossip.
Patriotic Push for Peevish Puerili-
ties.
Greater Production for a German
Peace.
Knowledge or Prices for Gossip
about Profits.
Beef you do not eat for the Rifle
you cannot carry.

WON EMS WAR WORK

What is Women's Var Work?
1t is a question that merits the
careful consideration of every woman
in the nation. Winning the wal must
of necessity be the prime factor oil
all our activities, for humanity's gains
throughout the centuries are in the
balance.
For the average woman the Red
Cross and food conservation stand
first, since woman has ever been the
conseryator of the race. Even those
who specialize in educational or pro
ductive work are expected to add their
bit. or their best in these lines. But
there is other work which may be
scheduled as moral, or spiritual which
is vitality important and which has a
claim upon the thought and effort of
all women in whatever activities they
are engaged.
In the army the morale is of primal
Importance, and whatsoever contrib

of the nation is the source and susten-
ance of the morale of the army. And
in this sphere women of fundamental
loyalty are a bulwark; their influence
should be extended and made effective.
There is the maintenance of stand
ards achieved before the war, or those
in process of INSTRUMENTATION
al, social, economic. which have to do
with the child, the toiler, and the
home, all Of which bear a close rela-
tionship to the completion of our po-
litical democracy. SO long as our po-
litical democracy is not complete, so
long as half of the citizens of the ma.
ton are without the symbol and SOW
ereignty of democracy, we are playing
into the kaiser's hands and depicting
the morale Of our army.
A young lieutenant writing to his
mother. who is working for woman
suffrage, said: You keep the flag for
democracy flying at home while we
fight for it abroad" That these young
soldiers feel the inconsistency Of their
positions in regard to this, is evil
denced by the overwhelming vote the
New York soldier contingent gave for
woman suffrage in 1917.
When the British parliament en-
franchised two million men and six
million women the German papers did
not carry the news. And with good
reason. THE menace of autocracy
is democracy" and it might C
age democratic aspirations in that
country.
1t is doubtless good material for
autocratic propaganda that America
is wanting in the thing for which she
stands committed. Other allied ma
tions have enfranchised forty million
m since the war for world de-
mocracy began. and national pride
should impel us to keep pace. More
over, with millions Of voters in war
service, their women folk unable to
effectively represent their interests at
home, the bars are down to the semi
alien, the %disloyal. and the pro-Ger.
man, to make their power felt. Who
then can doubt that war work for
women is the spudy achievement of
full political democracy for all the cit.
liens of our country? True, they must
have mans help, but now as ever,
who would be free themselves must
strike the blow"

For Housing Facilities and to Create
 Zones Around Shipyards.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Former Rear Admiral Bowles and other officers of the shipping board of the emergency fleet corporation, testifying today be- fore the house investigating commit tee, urged passage by the house of bills recently enacted by the senate, authorizing the expenditure of $S0,- 100000 for housing facilities for ship yard workmen, and to create military zones around yards building govern ment ships.
 MT. Bewles said both government and private yards are working less than fifty per cent. capacity, with about 180,000 men employed ad that the present housing facilities at Spar rows Point, Hog Island and Newport News are inadequate. He said ship yard workmen have increased 70 per cent. since October and that 180,000 now engaged are about all the yards are ready to employ. but that within a few months there will te decided increase in the demand for men. There is a shortage of skilled la- Dor and super1ntendents, but Mir ] Bowles said that by means of training
 schools and a gradual development ol
 the work, there will be no difficulty
 in supplying the needs. When thu shipbuilding programme is well undei
 way, he added, the yards will neet 100000 or more men.
