PEDDLtRS
POLICE CHIEFS URGED TO AID
THE UNITED STATES.

Washington, ID. c., April 3O.-Po-
lice chiefs of all cities of the country
were appealed to by Col. Arthur
Woods, special assistant to the secre-
tary of wal in charge of the employ
ment of discharged soldiers, TO aid
the government in preventing ped
dlers and street fakirs from wearing
the uniform of the army or the navy.
In a letter sent to the police chiefs,
Col. Woods said he believed that
nrany, il not most, of the men in
uniforms who were peddling in the
streets have entered the service. EN-
ployers who hire men in uniform to
peddle for them were denounced by
Col. Woods as "cooties who do ii
simply to play upon the public SYM
pathy which the uniform arouses."

Their faces lit up with faith and

They believed those, as if they had

to-day are as peculiarly their own
as their own classic language
which they have brought down
through the centuries. They have
always been oppressed by the Slavs,
and they were the first great enemy
of the German Iron Cross. The
World War has given them an op-
portunity again to assert them
selves. They stand before a world
newly won to democracy, with
democracy written large all over
their being. And their women are
sharers in the new freedom which
came to Lithuania with the Brest-
Litovsk treaty. They have quite
naturally and as a matter of course
come to the front in matters politi-
cal and civic, just as they came to
the front in war relief work, and

There was momentary shudder

younger ones somehow managed to
look superior. The proclamation was
read: Every citizen shall have the

of the plans. Finally one of the
militant suffragists seemed to feel
that something should be said. She

lationship and the family life. And
these have led to recognition of the
woman as peer of man.
Daughters, absolutely obeiient to
their parents in all matters, have
been permitted to become doctors.
lawyers and dentists. Their right
to engage in any pursuit has never
been questioned. Their ability has
been honestly tested, and women
throughout the world are asking for
nothing greater nor less than this.
1t is to this country that Lithu
anian women in America are turn
ing their eyes now with greater hope
than they have ever felt before. If
ever Lithuania is to achieve national
independence it is now, through
Americas recognition.
Women are now sacrificing every
thing in order that the campaign for
recognition which the Lithuanian
National Council is launching may
achieve success. They are leaving
all other work and planning with
greatest hopefulness and happiness.
They are getting out their national
costumes, costumes woven and sewn
entirely by hand. They are drawing
from dover chests the fine linens
and embroideries they have made for
their marriage day.
For, perhaps, with Americas God
speed, they shall at last wear them
IN their own land, looking to a flag
which at last is their own.
