ITO be compelled to thrash Mexico

WOMAN HITS MILlTARISM
These modern women seem to thing
that political jobs are to be used for
advancing political ideals-or else the
Jobs are not worth holding.
Miss Florence Allen, assistant coun-
ty prosecutor Of Cleveland, O., and
woman member of the Democratic
national committee for Ohio, has re-
signed from the national COMMITTEES
because of the administrations flip
flop on the issue of universal mill
ta1y training. She became a member
of the national committee, when New
ton d. Baker of Cleveland, secretary
of war, was an anti-universal train
ing advocate. Bakers introduction of
the universal milita11skn bill was too
much for her.
while we were at war l favored
the draft" she wrote Chairman Ho-
mei $. Cummings. "Now that the
armistice has been signed I am un-
alterably opposed to the continuance
OF the system. Having lost brother
in action in France, l feel perhaps an
intensified opposition to the system
on CONSUMPTION, which, as established
in Prussia, in my opinion, induced
the world war"
During her private law practice,
Miss Allen often represented the or.
gained working women of Cleveland
IN disputes with employers.
AMBASSADOR Dimes FARMER
Charles H. Barrett, national head
of the Farmers union, took time off
from his duties as a member of the
presidents industrial conference, the
other evening, to dine with Sir Ed
ward Grey, the temporary British am
bassador.
1t seems that Barrett, while he
vas in Europe last winter, arrange
for an international congress Of agri-
culture to be held in Dublin. The
British government is determined
that Barrett shall move that congress
away from Ireland. where Sir Horace
Ptunkctt. high in anti British councils
would be it's leading figure. That
the reason for the British ambassa-
cor's paying for a meal for Barrett,
and for good press notices of tl,.
event.
Thus far Barrett has not announced
any change in his plans. If he does
it will probably be to can
eel the whole affair.
PACKERS USING WOMEN
One Of the latest packer lobbying
schemes is called the Women's Ma
tional Economy Committee, at 20
West Seventeenth street, New York
City. 1t is sending out circulars to
women,s clubs, urging women to
solve the high cost of food by care
full economy in their homes and by
writing letters to congress opposing
the Anderson-Kenyon bill for control
ling the profits of the meat packers!
A BUSINESS LEGION
Stanley King, assistant to the sec
rotary of war, authorizes and circu-
ates, at public expense, a nice long
press story on the Legion of Patri-
otice Employers" invented by Colonel
Arthur Woods, who until recently was
in charge of securing jobs for dis
cAa .gcd veterans.
This legion is to consist of those
employers who have received, upon
their own request, the "Of1icial Cita-
hon" This, according to King, is "a
handsome document inscribed with
the seal of the United States and en-
crossed in the name of those employ
ers who put themselves down in writ
ing as having agreed to gladly re-
employ everybody who formerly
with them and left to serve
n the army or navy in the great
war;"
Up to date, over $1,000 employers
nave received these official citations
Tor re-employing their former work.
rs. One Of them wrote the de-
oartment that: 1--WE realize that with
he coming years such a document
will not only be of great moral value
20 our business, but will possess an
Advertising advantage that will be
If estimable benefit"
No requirements are made as to
wages, conditions or any of the fun
lamental rights of the workers in the
affair. Willingness to offer jobs, at
he employers own terms, is sufficient
proof Of distinguished patriotism.
The steel trust is eligible.
