President Wilson's Problem

To the Editor Of the Epening Public Ledger!
Sir--Permit me to heartily congratulate
you on your editorial on THE Guilt of
Judges appearing in your issue of March
Z. In 1t you have emphasized the fact that
war cannot be waged without brutal waste
and endless mistakes of judgment, that war
Is in itself but an organized process of waste
and sacrifice and, Tor that reason, war must
be stopped"
In his desire to accomplish this last de-
mand the President may have not acted on
all occasions as one gifted with superhuman
intelligence. but I do not think any one
questions his sincerity, and he is entitled TO
whatever help and moral support we can
give him in trying to get what he can in
the furtherance Of peace.
II President Wilson had been delegated by
our citizens to 20 into seclusion and there,
in quietness and calm, draft a declaration
for world peace, and he had then produced
nothing better than the present league of
nations agreement I would favor placing 1t
in the hands OF some one else. but we did
not do that and we cannot now dlsplace him
as our representative even II we cared TO.
II seems TO me that the opponents of the
President should consider the fact that he
has been dealing. with men who represented
governments OF people whose losses have
been prodiEious and IN whose minds the
very human desire for Vengeance fis pro-
nounced. They should remember that he
has 70 deal with men who honestly believe

UNEMPLOYED WOMEN
MAY ASSIST FARMERS
Land Army Seeking Substitutes
for Soldiers Who Remain
in City

Ihe Woman's Land Army isn't trvin1 10
take the positions Of men on the farms but
the returning soldiers have shown no desire
10 go on the land says Mrs. Charles Davis
Clark one of the executives Of the woman's
Land Army movement
The employment bureau in New York is
Just swamped with returning soldiers who
want to work right in the city They have
peen seeing great deal Of excitement. and
many OF them who lived on farms want ,o
remain IN the excitment Of the CITY
But the food must be raised NORMALLY
there Is a shortage Of between 900. 900
and 100000 In farm help in this country
ana the Womans Land Army would like
to help make up that supply.
The Land Army was planned as war
emergency, but IL the soldiers don't return
TO the land there Is no reason why women
should not continue the help that thew gave
last year"
In the federal labor report, Mrs Clark said
100000 women were out of employment
Undoubtedly only a small number of these
women would be interested in farming but
she believed that those who were Interested
would be employed
Last year the work OF women on the farms
was rather an experiment. but before the
end OF the season large numbers OF women
throughout the country were working trac-
tors. pitching hay and threshng and doing all
sorts OF heavy work for which they were
supposed to be physically unfit.
