BRING THE GIRLS BACK FROM
THE WAR.

That is mighty good advice given by one Of
the women members of the committee for the
relief of fatherless children in France as the
moral to be drawn from the sad double suicide
Of the two young girls who jumped overheard
on the return voyage from Europe.
Her sympathetic intuition urges that all
American women war workers, especially the
young women, be brought back home as soon
as possible Conditions, she assures us, are
such that they can be released without Sc
riously interfering with the task in hand and
they are tired and nervous" which means that
they are under tension not conducive to their
well-beng.
Another thing that should emphasize this
advice is the danger lurking in exposure to
temptations which these American girls must
combat-temptation necessarily stronger and
more frequent since the fighting stopped than
before. Our young women went abroad with
high ideals under a patriotic impulse and at
great sacrifice of personal comfort and they
must not have those ideals ruthessly shattered
as is too likely if they overstay the time when
their services are needed. For the work still to
be done, and of course, there is some, the
more mature women, whose greater experience
in life fits them better to cope with such sur
roundings should be retained rather than the
younger women, upon whom the strain must
be harder.
The desire to relieve and protect these girls
must not be taken to indicate lack of confidence
in them, for they have indeed done noble
service. One of the bright spots in the war was
the coming forward of cultured tenderly nur-
tured young women, volunteering to help our
armies abroad. They had to undergo the perils
of passage across submarine paths the terrors
of Hun air raids, the hardships and prvations
incident to an unaccustomed life, and through
it all they sustained themselves with such for
titude and generous courage as earned them the
respectful gratitude of all their countrymen.
But now with the need for these women over
seas almost at an end, their recall will not be
desertion of their posts, but only due consid-
Grafton to which they are entitled
Get the girls out of the war.

Future of German Colonies.

One of the first and one of the greatest OBJ
stacIes to the formulation of peace plans is the
disposition of the German colonies. Under the
pledge of mo annexations," these become
political orphans, and in the search for some
sort of founding hospital wherein to deposit
them a considerable difference of opinion has
developed.
Mr.. Wilson's plan, which rests on American
experience in the Philippines, does not meet
with cordial or enthusiastic reception. Not all
the nations of the world are devoted to the
philanthropic idea so we'll exemplihed by our
treatment of the Filipinos. 1t is quite possible
to foster the German-African colonies under
an international agreement, wherein the rights
of all nations would be preserved and the in
terests of the peoples concerned be protected in
all ways. Naturalization of the question ap-
pears an ideal solution. But it is not warmly
received.
Japan asks to be allowed to retain such is
lands as it has wrested from German control,
and Australia likewise has similar claim.
These might be composed if the main question
were adjusted. Return Of the colonies to Ger
many is not considered. British interests are
arrayed against this, and generally the future
of the peace of the world would seem to require
that German power and dominion be restricted.
What we have done for the Cubans and are
doing for the Filipinos may not be possible in
Africa, yet under some such plan, information
ally controlled, it is certain the natives of
Africa would stand far better chance Tor
growth in civilized ways than they will while
subject to the exploitation certain to follow a
state from which they are emerging 1t is un-
thinkable that these people are to be thrust
back to where they were in 1914.
If the League of Nations is to exist, it might
as we'll start by accepting a great incidental
responsibility right at the outset, and take over
the late German-African colonies.

Editor of The Bee: It is very in
teresting to read in The Bee of the
active move the society and club
women are taking in Kidding their
cityof the vice conditions which now
exist.
We hear so many say that vice
cannot be controlled, for 1t has al
ways existed, and therefore will al
ways exist. We also heard a few
years ago that prohibition would be
a failure, but what is it tOday-a
success to be sure-for we are now
on the road to national prohibition,
which we would not be if statewide
prohibition had been a failure.
But before we go further on this
subject, let me ask you a question,
Mrs. Club Woman: What would you
do with a poor, unfortunate girl as
she goes out from the Detention
home? Will you look down upon
her as unfit for the society Of your
daughters, or will you open your
home for her and let her enjoy the
society Of your friends, where she
can begin a new life and soon for
get her dark past?

SeIective Service Success

In future wars into which the United States
may be drawn the seleetive draft system of
raising an army will be used as a mere matter
of course, in the opinion of Mai. Gen. f. H.
Crowder, provost marshal general General
Crowder speaks with the authority of one who
knows his ground and his facts. To him more
than to any other individual was due the sue
cessful working out of the CONSUMPTION laws.
In his address to the Illinois Selectve Serv-
ice association General Crowder asserted that
the volunteer system if adhered to rigidly by
the allies, never would have wo, he war for
them The selective system made it possible
to use American manhood energy where it
would do the most good whether in the military
ranks or in necessary war industrial activities.
In other words it brought about the maximum
strength of all lines from the trenches clear
back to the factories and farms, and in this way
yielded a concerted force strong enough to
overthrow the Hun military machine.
General Crowder seconds the observation
and opinion of the public that volunteers and
selects disclosed the same soldierly fiber in
backing up their country's cause. He offers
the gratifying information that only 1900 men
out Of over 24.000000 registered refused to fight
for their country. This means in 10000
remarkable showing for the practical patriotism
OF the country.
Sixteen per cent Of those in the draft age
were not American citizens. This is not a
pleasing exhibit, but it is a valuable one, in
that It is likely to act a spur in the several
states to induce noncitizeus to become full
fedged Americans in the sense of the law

Setting Up a Market House.

The city commissioners have determined to
again experiment with a public market house
for the accommodation of Omaha household
ers. The present plan is to arrange matters so
that the business will not be carried on ex-
clusively by commission men or brokers' acting
between growers and retailers, but to allow a
greater freedom of action and permit the con-
sumner himself to make an occasional pur-
chase. Whether the plan will work out to the
satisfaction or benefit of any is to be shown.
Market gardeners have one distinct advan-
tage under present conditions. They can readily
dispose of whatever they bring to market, each
to single purchaser, without the trouble of
peddling it out Grocers and other retailers
find convenience in dealing with the brokers.
Neither of these conditions is especially in favor
of the consumer Therefore place where he
can meet the producer and buy direct such
green stuff as he requires is of Importance to
him. More than the mere establishment of
the market place is involved. Its success will
depend on its management, and the rules and
regulations laid down for conduct of business
will determine whether the public gets service
from the experiment now set on foot.
