LINER OLYMPIC HAS RECORD AS
 SERVICE GRAFT

ONDON.-DOdglng German SuO- marines in the Mediterranean, try ing to save sinking warships in the North Atlantic, and fighting off a vicious Uboat attack while carrying American troops are some of the achievements credited to the White Star liner Olympic during her ad- venturous career of the wartime. These were only incidents of her experience, because, on account of her great passenger capacity, she was steadily and faithfully keeping to the task of transporting men and material for the armies in Europe. First it was the Chinese coolies for road building, then farmer boys from Canada to replace the losses of Vimy Ridge, and finally many thousand of Americans to face the German on the Western battlefront.
 Her work during the Gallipoli campaign" writes a member of the crew of the Daily News, ''when she carried about 5000 troops-at that time the greatest number ever car ried by any ship--following upon her gallant attempt off the north of Ireland to tow the water-logged dreadnaught Audacious. was suffi- cient to put her in the first rank of transports, but her subsequent work in bringing Canadian troops and Chinese labor battalions, and then her wonderful career since Christmas, 1917, when she arrived in New York for her first load of American troops must put her in a class by herself as trooper.
 She has carried well over 3OO,Oo0 people while on war service
 Ut would not be correct to say that Captain Hayes has brought her through without scratch, but ncr scars are marks of honor. She bent and fractured some of her plates when. in the darkness early one morning she 'strafed' one of Germany's finest U-boats.
 "The Olympic had most of her ad ventures while she was carrying American troops. During March, April and May, 1918, the German submarine commanders made at least seven daring attacks on her Not once did the enemy have time to launch torpedo, for in every case he was greeted by 6-inch shell or one of the destroyers was on his track with her depth bombs. Perhaps some of Germany's missing submarines are now lying below the track of the Olympic.
 "The most thrilling exoerlcnce which the Olympic had took place in the darkness of early morning of May, 1918, near the entrance to the English Channel. It was just about four o'clock when the lookout man picked out of the almost total dark ness the outline of lurking sab marine which was lying on the sur face. Immediately after his warn ing shout one of our forward g',rs blazed out, and the ship. with her helm hard over, spun around like a great racing yacht and crashed into the enemy.
 "The blow was, of course, not a clean one, or there would have been few survivors from the submarine. Judging from the damage on the bows of the ship when dry docle ed ->--~-~--~>~>->-~~~~'- ~-~>-

and represented itself at a different
station every day or two.
The first message from the "X
army" headquarters was q general
dispatch to all wireless stations in the
army area (none of which actually ex-
lsted), In the new code of course. d.
recting that none of the stations an
swer or make use of their sending in
struments, for fear of the enemy locat-
ing them, but that they be on the
alert at fixed hours to receive mes
sages. The effect was to convince the
Germans that large number of wire
less stations had been set I'D and TO
advise them of the hours when the en-
emy intercepting stations should be
on the alert for the American mes
Sages.
This was followed by q series of
messages designed to indicate that the

was peculiarly designed to add to the
enemy's suspicion OF the approaching
trouble-an imperative demand for 20t
copies more additional Of the Contains
sheet, "plan directeur map" This
could only be interpreted by the Ger
mans, the Americans agreed, as prepa.
ration for coming drive on the Briey
iron center.
In addition to the wireless the "X
army" also had in operation, on the
front between Bezonaux and Fresnes,
a telephone squad--a careless squad
which set up telephone stations here
and there and sent messages and
talked shop and gossiped all night
about the arrival Of some old friends
from America with such and such an
outfit.
The "X" army telephone squad took
no chances that the Germans might
not hear the conversations the Amer
leans desired them to record. They
deliberately grounded their wires, so
the enemy could "listen in" and
crawled out into No Mans Land In
the darkness and hooked one Of the
American wires on a German barbed
wire In front of an abandoned trench
system. In the front line of modern
| warfare the telephone Is a most dan
gerous instrument, for both sides de-

limits could pick up conversations
over enemy lines with which 1t was
not even connected. SO the Ameri-
cans felt certain that all their CONVEX
sations were heard by the Germans.

watchfulness on account Of the activ-

When the armistice became effec-

its supposed position five crack Ger

schemes, which had worked so success

veterans of n five years war.

Country, Where Suffragists Won
13 Years Ago, Quick to Right
Self After War.
MANY SCHOOLS FOR GIRLS
Women of Finland Fortunate From
an Educational Point of View
Work During Labor Troubles
Wins Them Vote.

Washington, d. CIT seems only
natural that Finland, land where
women have had the vote for 13 years,
and won it by their participation in
quelling labor troubles like those which
now assail the United States of Amer
lea, should be one of the first portions
Of the dismembered Russian empire to
get up n stable constitutional govern
ment," says bulletin from the Wash
ington headquarters of the National
Geographic society.
This new member of the family Of
free nations is described in n COM
munlcation to the society by Baroness
Alletta Korff as follows:
"From an educational point of view
the women in Finland have been very
fortunate, as there are many excellent
schools for girls and a number of CO.
educational schools throughout the
country which prepare students for
the university examinations.
Girls Admitted in 1878.
"Girls We're admitted to the univer-
sity in 1873, and, until the war inter-
vened, they not only attended lectures,
but took part in all branches of uni
versity life; they participated in all
the celebrations and festivities, and
were members of the various clubs
and student organizations. in which
they were on footing of perfect
equality with the men and frequently
were elected to various official posi-
tions. After they were graduated from
one of the several high schools or from
the university there were many
branches of work open to them.
"They became teachers, even in the
state school for boys; cashiers OF
bookkeepers in banks, clerks In state
archives and In many branches of the
civic administration.
"There are really not enough edu.
Gated men to meet the requirements OF
the country, and consequently the co
operation of the women is a matter
of vital Importance. It not infrequent
ly happened. in normal times, thai
even married women in comparatively
goot circumstances, sought employ
ment outside their homes.

WOMEN ARE HELP I'm
FINLAND POLITICS

Having thus such an excellent
foundation to build upon, it is small
wonder that the woman's movement
soon found many active supporters.
In 1868 the diet had accorded the NIL
nicipal vote to woman taxpayers living
In the country, and in 1872 to women,
living in the towns, all of whom were
also given the right to be elected
members Of certain local self-govern-
Ing bodies. In 1900 the woman social,
democrats included the suffrage In
their program, but the special activity
for the suffrage began only in the year
1904, although in 1897 petition had
been officially presented to the diet at
the request Of the Finnish Woman's
association.
THE reason why so little was done
In direct furtherance of the cause of
woman suffrage between the years
1897 and 1904 is that just at that time
Finland was passing through a severe
political crisis.
Women as Strike Managers.
"After the outbreak Of the October
revolution in Russia (19O5) a sympa-
| thetic strike was declared In Finland,
and several of the members of the CEN
| tral committee elected by mass meet
ing to manage the details Of the strike
were women.
"The first action taken by the COM
mittee was to close all the LIQUOR
shops, saloons and barrooms and to
organize q volunteer police force to
keep order. After the second day
the markets were reopened and the
strikers were not allowed to cut off
the water supply. In short, the strike
was managed In q most orderly and
systematic way and no outrages of
any sort We're committed.
During the course of the strike nu-
merous deputations were sent with De-
titions to the governor general, and
in each deputation there were women
members. Thus, even in moments of
grave political danger and at times
when the utmost moderation and fore
sight were needed, the Films were not
afraid to trust their women.
"The very great interest that the
women took In the elections NAV be
gathered from the fact that in Helslng-
fors, the capital, at the time of the
second elections lin 1909, there were
19y640 woman voters and 1856 men
voters registered. 1t is true that the
majority of the women voted for men,
as there were only 20 women elected
in house of 200. but one woman re-
ceived larger number of votes than
was given to any OF the men candi-
dates of her party"
