Wonderful Work Being Done BY

In All Ways Woman Is Doing More
Than Her Share to Make World
Fit Place in Which

Paris.-stenographers may win the
war. At least the last battle Of the
Marne which turned the tide against
Germany was won by stenographers,
reasoning along the same lines as were
made famous by the celebrated reci-
tai to the effect that ''a throne was lost
all for the lack Of a horseshoe nail"
For If the French say the American
soldiers saved Paris, and the Ameri-
can soldiers say the big war welfare
organizations saved them with hot
chocolate and other supplies when the
commissary couldn't keep up with the
moving troops, the welfare organfza-
tions have said more than once that
the girl clerical workers have more
than once saved the situation.
! T sometimes think that this war Is
going to be won by the stenographers,"
is the view Of Miss McCook, head OF
the women's department in Paris.
Are Doing Their All.
Women are doing their all for
democracy's cause by doing every bit
of work possible, releasing men to
do the fighting, from the base ports to
the battle lines, in the service Of the

Army, the Y. W. C. A., and the Amer
lean Library association, now Joined
with the Jewish Welfare board and
the War Camp Community service in
the United States war work campaign
for soldier welfare work.
The number of women workers in
The war zone, aside from the regiments
of telephone operators and stenog-
raphers sent over by the United States
government, is increasing daily. At a

- the commission for relief in Bel
gum and the pitiable condition of the
100000 inhabitants of that section
who escaped the German invasion are
described in a cablegram received at
the headquarters of the commission
here from. Herbert C. hoover at rarls.
M. Hoovcr;s message made public
..5a.gilt, revealed that the work OF re.

fall more heavily on the commission
than had been expected. The destruc-
ton wrought by the German army was
SO complete, Mr. Hoover said, that the
.eiiei work must include not only food
and clothing, but housing over con-
siderable area.
An enlarged organization to handle
the situation is being built up anG
supplies have been oDtaiEeu from the
quartermaster department OF the
American army. A large amount of
second hand barrack material also has
been taken over from the army and
navy and $50 volunteers from the
American navy are experimenting the
construction of barracks near ruined
villages for the inhabitants.
Industrial life in the invaded region
has been almost completely para.yzed,
Mr. Hoover said. Railroads have been
rendered almost hopeless of recon.
struction for many months, the coal
Zines have been destroyed and there
is scarcely single factor that can
be operated without very large por.
lon of new equipment.
"The commission for relief in Bel.
gium," said Mr. Hoover's message
had hoped to surrender the task Of re
iiet of Northern France to the Frenc.
goyernraent Immediately upon the
German retreat. 1t has been found m
possible, however, to undertake the
lood supply Of this area for some
months to come, and upon the urgen1
request of that government the@com
mittee had decided to continue.
