Daughter of n. c. Schulze, WellknoWn
Bennington Resident.

Miss Anna Schulze. daughter of
Henry c. Schulze of the Pownal road,
/ is one of two pioneer telephone oper-
ators who, during the war, left New
York office and went to Washington
to assist on that citys new big toll
board. These two operators, Miss
Schulze and ]. J Mariarity, have won
great honors through their accomp-
/ lishments as telephone war workers
and an interesting and compliment
tary article, descriptive Of their work
while in Washington, was printed in
the November issue of THE Trans
mitter," periodical issued once a
month in the interests Of the emf
ployees of the Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Telephone company
The article in part is as follows;
"'Miss Schulze,' said a telephone
man, came down from the New York
office of the A. T. and T. Co. in Febru-
airy, 1917, about the time when diplo-
matte relations We're severed with
Germany She expected to stay for
two weeks only. AS matter of fact
she stayed until September 1919, hold
ing the title of temporary toll chief
operator She saw it through, from
the very first rumblings of war to the
last argument at the peace confer
ence She went back to New York
the other day as quietly as she came,
having done a good job we'll.
That's the way the telephone peo-
pie in Washington speak of Miss
Schulze They'll tel you she was
conscientious and efficient and that
during the darkest days she never
lost, enthusiasm. II was her person
ality that knit together and made n
strong organization out of the girls
who came from all parts of the coun.
try-from as far west as Kansas City,
as far north as Buffalo and as far
south as Memphis md who knew
nothing of the geography of Washing
ton and vicinity or the telephone
habits of the people. She welded
them together and kept the work go
ing ahead, giving good quality of
service even when the load seemed to
be forever climbing. The rating dur,
ing her administration bears out
this statement.
Her work as somebody expressed
it, is splendid example of what one
woman can do"

POINDEXTER STILL
FIGHTING GEN. WOOD
May Prevent His Name From Going
On South Dakota Ticket-Wood
Hesitates About Resianina.

Pierre, S. d., Dec. S.-W j. Bryan,
manager for United States Miles Poin
dexter Washington made threat
yesterday that there might be suit
to enjoin the secretary of state from
placing the name of Major-Gen. Leon
ard Wood as n candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for President, on
the primary election ballot In March.
Major-General Wood is said to be re-
luctant to comply with the provision
of the complex South Dakota primary
law which requires candidates TO
make a statement of principles and
give adherence before January ! to
the platform of the state party con-
vention.
The South Dakota Republican plat
form urges the ratification of the
league of nations covenant with such
reservations as are necessary to
Americanizc It. Gen. Wood is a sub
ordinate Of President Wilson as com
mander in chief II he indorses the
South Dakota Republican platform he
puts himself in opposition to the ideas
of his superior officer.
MajOr-Gen. Wood was designated as
the preferred candidate for the nomi-
nation at the Republican convention
here on December .,
Senator Poindexter made futile eff
fort to head off the boom for Wood
The resignation committed the state
organization to support Gen Wood in
the primary election and was an as
surance of the votes of the state
delegation to the national convention.
The Democratic convention indorsed
President Wilson for a third term.
Mr.. Bryan said he would file the in
dependent petition of Senator Poin-
dexter for place on the primary
ballot today.

THE PEACE OF WEsTPHALIA. 164s.
A Religious UpheavaI That Lasted for Almost a Lifetime.
BY H. IRVING HING

Meantime Europe was becoming ut

commerce and industry. The pope

in 1G41 Louis XIII Of France signed

Cardinal Mazarin, who had succeeded

he had further humbled some of the
Catholic powers, especially Spain.
