NO PROSPECT OF SEX WAR
Equal Pay for Equal Work viii Be
Solution of Problem of Women
In Industry.

There Is no danger of a "sex war"
In this country because of the employ
ment of women in industry, the Young
Women's Christian association war
work council announced.
'The national war labor board"
said report of the council, "has
stood squarely for the proposition of
equal pay for equal work, and it's first
step in this direction was with the
General Electric company at Pitts
field, Mass, where equal conditions for
men and women now prevail"
The board has appointed Miss Mar
garet Dismore, especially released
from the British Labor ministry by
Premier Lloyd George for this pur-
pose, it was announced. Miss Dismore
will have charge of a corps of inves-
tigators who are cooperating with Y.
W. G. A. officials in the supervision Of
women In industry, and officials at
Washington state that the equal pay
principle will eliminate any POSSIBLE
ity Of so-called "sex war;"
"The big problem today" said a
Y. W. G. A. war council official SIS
not any problem of sex war, but to
place woman in industry so that they
can release fighting men for the provost
marshal general and the department Of
labor. American men and women have
no time to think of any sex vars"

Training skilled Laborers.

An interesting wartime labor devel-
opment which will be of special impor-
lance during the time Of reconstruc-
ton after the war is the war depart
nent's plan to train 100000 national
army men in trades of special military
value. Already large numbers of these
men have undertaken the training
courses at schools and colleges-110
in all-in every part of the United
States.
The training the men are receiving
Is, Of course, primarily to fit them for
effective work in France or in duty of
military Importance at home, but most
of the trades, If not all Of them, in
fact, will have an important peace
time value as well. The problems Of
the reconstruction period cannot be
foreseen with any certainty now, but
the creation Of this reserve of mechan-
ically trained men will no doubt be of
Importance in the reorganization Of
industry on peace basis.

Liberia observes Common
datidn for War Work

Among the enemies of Germany, let
US not forget Liberia. This tiny Afri-
can republic entered the war in all
seriousness, has contributed to the
victory and bears some honorable
scars. 1t established compulsory mill
tary service and sent hundreds of la
borers into France for war work. It
expects a seat somewhere near the
foot of the great peace table.
Some two hundred German citizens
controlled rs per cent Of Liberals
commercial activities before the war.
These two hundred are now 'interned
in France, and the government took
over their enterprises and sold them
at auction. 1t will be remembered
that the republics entire navy was
sunk by the Germans last April. 1t
consisted of one small vessel, and the
submarine that punctured its hull also
shelled Monrovia, the Liberian capital,
and killed ten people.
Liberals military authorities estab-
lished basis for determining liability
to army duty which is the acme Of
simplicity. Natives without clothes
are not eligible for service, but as
soon as man puts on shirt and trou.
sers he automatically becomes liable
for enrolment and service. This is
on the authority Of Bishop Alexander
P. Camphor, head of the Methodist
church in the republic. Though Ii
beria's part in the war has been small,
it has been none the less creditable.

POWER OF MIND OVER BODY
Why Ending Of War Had Such Good
Effect on Soldiers Suffering
From Shell Shock.

The fact as stated by Surgeon Gen
eral Ireland that ''more than 1000
American soldiers In France suffering
from shell shock were cured by news
of the signing Of the armistice" is an
interesting contribution to the pathol
ogy of nervous disease. These war
hospital patients were not suffering
from an imaginary ailment; the phys
icaf manifestations of their affiiction
were apparent, amounting in some
cases to bodily Disagreement. Yet
their cure seems to have been entirely
due to the influence of the magma
ton, being instantly effected by their
realization that they would not again
be subjected to the same experience.
This evidence Of the minds power
over the body will afford great salts
faction to believers In the efficacy of
mental or spiritual methods of heal
ing. What have the materialists to
say about it? Psychiatrists will aIlege
the capacity of their art to cure dis
ease Of this nature, and according to
a Statement from the surgeon gener-
ais office improved methods of com
batting the affection" in army hospitals

Yet the fact remains of natures
dramatic and immediate cure by the
simple means of removing apprehen-
sion. Medical practice has still some
way to go before equaling this demon
stration of the great possibilities in
mental healing.

How Red Cross Worked in italy.

"The heat is merciless. On the road

trees, stands hut with an Italian flag
and a flag showing a field of blue with
stars, and red and white stripes The
soldiers crowd the place. This Is
rest house of the American Red Cross.
Here our great American ally brings
a lot of good things. Coffee, cool
drinks, bread, chocolate-as we once
knew it--and crackers-we no longer
are accustomed to.
"The soldiers have already baptized
these rest houses. They call them in a
jocular way American bars and when
from afar they see on the road the tri-
color and the Stars and Stripes they
cry, Let us go to visit America 7"

LUNCH DOGS" CARRY FOOD
How the French Troops In Isolated
Trenches Are Supplied With
Their Needed Ratlons.

Trench warfare certainly interferes
with the fighters meals. After cap
turing the enemy's position in partic-
ular, is the fighter at loss to know
how he will get his regular rations;
for no sooner does the enemy find
himself dispossessed from his original
trenches than he opens up with an in
tense barrage fire designed to prevent
ammunition and food from reaching
the new occupants.
The French army believes 1t has
solved the problem Of carrying food
to men in isolated trenches, in its
lunch dogs. Carrying light lunches
and coffee, and even cartridges for the
men in the first-line trenches when
the combat is hot and protracted, these
splendidly trained dogs are more GER
tain to get through barrages than men.
Each dog is equipped with a sort Of
double bag, strapped tight over its
body and provided with numerous
pockets for food, coffee cans, ammuni-
ton and other supplies.
1t is at the military dog training
grounds at Paris that dogs are pre-
pared for this service. Not only are
these four-legged couriers taught to
avoid the enemy and beware Of tricks.
but also to crawl on their stomachs IN
order to escape flying bullets. Special
masks are provided for these dogs
when they must pass through q poison
gas area.

The sun flung a long russell trail
across the plain and up the mountain
slope, enveloping the form of the man,
lying, like one asleep, upon the green
sward, and the girl who knelt silently
beside him, staring with wild, dry eyes
into that pale face.
Nature was effecting a change in the
landscape; the day was dying. Nature
was also effecting a change in the
man; he was returning to life. And
that return from period of suspend
ed life, caused by the overdose of NOR
phine, was as gradual as the passing
of the day
With returning consciousness, the
man opened his eyes. The first object
they beheld was the girl, her head
haloed with the lingering light. There
was ecstatic wonder-madness almost
in the look she fixed upon him; and
SO still she knelt there that, but for
the quivering Of her half-parted lips,
he must have thought her some glor-
ious image, like those niched in cathe-
dral aisles But he found, when his
arms were about her and her head
was on his shoulder, that she was only
a woman.
