THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

In praising the relief organizations
of this war we must not leave out the
American Library Association, which
though small in relation to the other
organizations, has filled a niche of its
own. With United States and Paris
divisions it has furnished both men on
this side and men overseas with books
of all kinds-books not only for rec
reation but books needed to train
men as modern and efficient fighters.
Never in the history of this country
have more books been needed for more
students-students of war.
Within six months after the organ
ization of an overseas division, more
than a million and a half books had
been sent across. And it is through
this rganization that the people OF
the United States have been able to
do thing vital and inspiring.

THE BUSINESS WOMAN'S CODE

1t is a far cry from the days when it
was considered improper for a woman
to enter the business world, to the
present, when the Department OF La
Dor formulates standards upon which
the employment of women should be
placed. Yet the years between these
twJ conditions are few.
The new standards consider hours
of labor first. 1t is recommended thHt
no woman shall be employed or per-
mitted to work more than eight hours
a day, or forty-eight hours in one
week, and that night work shall be pro-
hibited.
Wages shall be established on the
basis of occupation; women doing the
same work as men should receive the
same wages. The minimum wage rae
should cover the cost of the living for
dependents as well as for the individ-
ual.
The Department of Labor calls upon
the industries of the country to CO.
operate with state and federal agen-
cies in maintaining the standards set
forth as a vital part of the recOnstruc-
ton program of the nation.

AMERICA A TRUSTEE

As the powers assemble for the Ver-
sailles conference we, the American
people, are waking up to the fact that
as a nation we are being taken. We
hardly realize the significance of our
Presidents words to the stricken ma
tions of the Old World, and We can
not conceive of the fervor with which
the distressed nations look to the
United States for guidance and pro-
lection.
Doctor Powers points out how Tur-
key is ready to throw herself into the
arms of the United States as the only
way in which she can preserve her
autonomy. He also makes it clear
that England and France and Italy
are not going to be able in many cases
to take the responsibility of protecting
world interests and that this country,
a councillor today, will be a tenefac-
tor tomorrow.
We can see, now if ever, that world
affairs are shaping themselves with
speed and momentum almost beyond
comprehension. America is to be
made a trustee, guiding hand in that
which will shape the affairs Of men
for centuries to come. Is she ready
for the great task? Is she prepared
for the great adventure?

SOMETHING TO II

In Austria, before the armistice was
signed, a wholesale price of $27 was
being paid for a common felt hat worn
by both men and women.
The day after the signing of the ar
mistice, wholesalers offered these same
hats for 60 cents apiece.
in the light of this fact it is easy to
imagine what we of this country might
have been paying for buttered toast
while the fighting lasted had there
been no fixed price made by the Gov
ernment on wheat.

MISSOURPS ILLITERATES

Imagine a Missouri city with a pop
ulatiOn of 111,116 illiterates-a city
with nearly half as many inhabitants
as Kansas City has-all of them more
than 10 years old, and not one of them
able to read or write. How could such
a city exist? How could it be gov
erned?
You can't imagine it, can you? AT
least not here in Missouri, with our
splendid educational facilities, our
public schools, our University And
colleges, open to all, to native and to
foreign-born alike. Think of such a
city in Missouri, in a state in the Ma
tion which We have long proclaimed
to be the home of the best educated
people in the world.
There isn't such a city, it is true.
Yet four and three-tenths per cent of
the inhabitants of Missouri are illit-
crate. This means that there are scat
tered throughout Missouri 111,116 per-
sons more than 10 years old who can
neither read nor write-enough, if
gathered together, to make a city as
large as Springfield and st. Joseph
combined.
We ought to do something about il.
surely. Our new superintendent Of
schools, Samuel d. Baker. is full of
plans for improving our educational
situation. Among them is a plan by

"by militaristic force democracy has
won its contest against autocracy; it
remains to be seen whether by con-

win its contest against anarchy" He

two, methods of procedure against
anarchy-constructi justice, wisdom

RESPONSIBLE IN POSEN
Clemenceau Sends Note Warning
Against Unofficial Support Of
Poles Opponents.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 26.-The German peace
delegation has been informed in a note
from Premier Clemenceau that the
German government will be held
strictly responsible for unofficial sup
port of any movement against Polish
authority in the territory given Poland
in Posen and in East and West Prussia.
The text of the note reads:
paris, June rs.
Mr.. President: The allied and as
ISOLATED powers feel 1t necessary to
direct the attention Of the German
government to the fact that the
Polish authorities have come into pos
session of the attached official German
dispatch which states that while the
German government means to sign the
peace treaty they intend to give unoff1-
cial support by all the means in their
power to local movements of resistance
to the establishment of Polish author
ity in the territories allotted to Po-
land in Posen and in East and West
Prussia, and to the occupation OF up
per SileSia by the allied and associated
powers.
I'm view of this information the al
lied and associated powers think IL
necessary to inform the German gov
eminent that they will hold them
strictly responsible for seeing that at
the time indicated in the treaty all
troops and all officials indicated by
the allied commission are withdrawn,
and that in the event OF local dis
turbances in resistance to the treaty
