WITH THE WOMEN OF TO-DAY

The patriotic women OF the United
States must read with hanging heads
and shamefaced looks the news that
Germany Is giving women both recog-
milton and representation. 1t seems
disgraceful that our country which
has fought for world democracy
should be so slow to extend the right
OF suffrage to the women who worked
80 valiantly for the same cause And

try which was fighting with the most
gigantic imperialistic motives has al

1t is true. nevertheless. and Frau
Koehler is one Of the first women to

convention which opened recently at
Weimar. Other German women who
attended the convention to speak in
behalf of their countrywomen are
Fraulein Klara Bohm-Schuch, Frau

new work Of munition making. The
mems unions did not welcome the
women's invasion, but owing to the
shortage of war material and labor
they were forced to submit to it.
The women are determined to enter
the competition and have organized
themselves into the Women's Engi-
neering Society.
CALL FOR WOMEN FALLS OFF.
Calls for women workers have been
gradually decreasing ever since the
armistice was signed, the employment
service reports show. November 2,
$4,000 requests for female help were
received. In the last week the de-
mand was down to $4,000.

Steffens in Wonderland

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In your issue of the 14th inst. is an
account of most interesting interview
which Frederick Moore had with Lincoln
Steffens concerning his recent mission to
Lenine and Trotzky. One statement made
by Mr. Stefcns in this interview is par
tculary noteworthy. because it shows the
character of the man and the quality of
the information which he was able to con-
vey to President Wilson.
Concerning Petrograd, which he describes
AS now a sem-deserted city, he states
"Streetcars were running there because of
water power which the Bolsheviki have de-
vcloped." Any one who aas been in Petro-
grad knows that it is located in a level and
marshy country where there is not the
slightest possibility of developing water
power, even If the Bolsheviki had the ma
chincry and technical ability to install anv
kind of hydro-electric plant The only re-
gion within hundreds of miles in which
there Is any possibility of developing hv
dro-e electric power is Finland, and Finland.
of course, is no longer under Russian con-
troll.
Those who have followed the socjalistic
activities of Lincoln Steffens and his mis-
representations Of affairs in Mexico MS we'll
as IN revolutionary Russia, will not be sur
prised at such statements as that above

Burleson

The beauty about Burleson is that his
record is SO bad that not even the moso
lmpudent partisan can make an excuse
for him.
He has shown to what heights domi-
neering inefficency may mount. The
colossal hash he has made of the postal
service and the offence which he has
given to every person who mails a letter
or answers telephone call or pens a
telegraphic message is a warning to the
pubic of what it may expect when it
permits arrogant ignorance to be in
charge of public business. Burleson has
been service wrecker and tax eater.

burleson is most sinister, That he has
remained as long rs he has is proof of
the great desire to support the Adminis-
