Feeding German People
 On False Promises

THE German people are asked to 9 be patient. "Yet little while and we shall enjoy the fruits of a strong peace" In the meantime the slaughter of German manhood goes on. There is probably not a family in the Kaiser's dominions which hasn't sacrificed at least one member to his mad ambition to rule the world-ex- cept his own family, all the members of which are still in the enjoyment of their health and faculties. Neither an arm, nor an eye nor leg is miss ing.
 Will the time come when patience will cease to be virtue in German eyes? It is more probable that, con- stituted as they are by nature and training, they will continue to bear their burdens and make additional sac rifices until General Foch strikes the decisive blow which will end forever the Prussian dream of conquest.
 But while there is patience in the larger sense, all reports agree that the German people are weary of war, weary of scandal, graft and profiteer- ing at the expense of the poor. The old German morality seems to have disap- peared, to have been swept away in the Reorganization which has affected the empire, particularly the larger cities.
 Germans are not starving, yet they are feeling the pinch of want. They are promised victory and a strong peace, yet it is hope long postponed and becoming increasingly remote. Women of America
 Great Organizers
 TN time of peace the women of this ~ country have shown themselves apt in organization and resourceful in practical affairs, and ever since the United States entered the war their patriotic fervor has been an inspira- ton and their achievements in all causes undertaken to promote the suc- cess of our arms and relieve suffer- ing have filled the whole world with admiration.
 They are great organizers and eager workers in all var activities. In the Liberty Loan campaigns and in, the Red Cross they have borne noble parts, and so it will be to the end of the conflict.
 Here in Alabama women of execu- tive ability have been helpful leaders in all enterprises calling for prompt action and the results of their efforts have been widely known. Those who were not of an aggressive turn or who were not gifted with administra- tive capacity have labored tirelessly and unfalteringly in the ranks.
 Many a mans job can be filled satisfactorily by a woman and in the large cities thousands of able-bodied men have been released for military duty by women taking their places.
 When the history of the war comes to De written a conspicuous place in it will be given to our noble women. Thsy gre not only self-sacrificing. but
