Women's Production
Greater

lone plant reckons the women's pro
duction as 20 per cent greater than the
mems. The men receive S2l6O a week
and the women $40 less
4" Better work at lower wages'-that
is reason enough for most employers to
retain the women. When we studied
into the reasons why some employers
were releasing the women and restoring
men to their old jobs we came upon
some more interesting figures.
'Of the 6,771 who have been dis
charged since the armistice only 1926
have failed because of some fault of
their own.
In only 2-lO per cent of the cases
were the women discharged in order to
make room for returning soldiers and
sailors. This covered two plants and
thirteen women"

CLEMENCEAU IN
' CHURCH Ct PULPIT
Said to be First Appearance of the
"oId Tiger" In Any
Church.

The "GaulOis" is responsible for the
statement that at thanksgiving SER
vice held in Lille, after it's restoration
to freedom, the French Premier, M.
Clemenceau made an appearance in a
Catholic church. On the previous day
the Premier had personally thanked
the priest Of the town for his heroic
conduct, and the latter had sought,
as his "only reward" that the Premier
should attend the "Te Deum" of
Thanksgiving. NJ Clemenceau appar-
emily not only did this, but at the end
Of the TIE Deum he mounted the pul.
pit and addressed few words to the
congregation, who startled themselves
and their cure by breaking out into
cheers.
M. Clemenceau asked the congrega-
ton to transfer their tribute to "that
great citizen (Marshal Foch) who had
never lost faith in the country" which
the London Universe thinks he might
have amplified by adding NOR in his
Cod" The French Premier continued
his short discourse by saying II know
i. is not customary for a member of
the congregation to speak in church,
and have never done so before, but
l could not restrain my emotion" It
is said that this is M. Clemenceau's
first appearance in any church, which
would account for part of his conclud-
ing remarks. There are many in
France who hope that this may not
be his last appearance in Christian
church.

President Wilson
and ireland
WIN He Be the instrument Between
the English and Irish Peoples?
Supreme Court Justice
HoWard's Address.

Supreme Court Justice w. o. How.
ard, addressing a mass meeting held
at Troy, N. ". on Tuesday evening of
last week, to advocate the freedom of
Ireland, said England had already re,
jected the second of President Will
sons fourteen points by her insistence
upon naval supremacy, and that there
could be no freedom for Ireland until
there was freedom of the seas.
I'VE expect the President to stand
up as stoutly when the Celtic people
demand their liberty" Justice Howard
continued, "as he does when the con.
quered peoples plead for freedom. But
can the President insist upon self-de.
termination for Ireland? fear he can
not. And we must not expect him to
accomplish the impossible.
"The attitude of England will be
firm and obstinate She vii tolerate
no discussion at the peace table of
her internal affairs. Then President
Wilson will be helpless. and the Peace
Congress will be helpless-for England
is the armed power of the sea.
None of the victorious European
powers will surrender a single advan
tage. Phrases coined in time of wal
vanish i'll time of peace 'Self-deter
mination' was coined. In the old Ian
guage it was home rule Freedom
OF the seas was also coined. But free
dom OF the seas has never beer au
thoritatively defined. The expression
sounds lofty, but means nothing. II
never will mean anything until defined
by treaty. And it never will mean
anything after it has been defined by
treaty as long as any one nation has
the mastery Of the ocean.
eve should urge the President to in
sist upon the second of his famous
fourteen points. But already England
rejects the second point. Her states
men, her newspapers, her novelists
rise up against freedom of the seas.
""Are the Hottentots of Africa, the
Bedouins of the desert and the Arabs
OF Mecca to have freedom, and the
Irish thraldom? Is it true that even
the Germans are to be accorded the
boon of establishing a Teutonic repub
lie while Ireland remains the colon,
of monarchy? No, it cannot be! I'm
