TELL SOCIAL WORKERS.
TO GET into POLITICS

Settlement Women to Take
Place in Front Line
SAYS PLAY GAME STRAIGHT

Social workers must get into poll
tics. We belong in the first line of the
political situations" said Mrs. Eva w.

Conditions of the Department Of LABOR,
in her talk before the ninth national

workers assembled at the morning ses-
sion which was held in the auditorium
of the Curtis Building.
1--WE must play the reform game
straight" Mrs. White went on. "No
one should say that the end justifies the
means. Reforms so down anyway and
they might as well go down with flying
colors.'
Lessons for neighborhood work grow
ing out of the war experiences of social
workers were discussed this morning.
Mrs. White urged upon the workers
that they must keep the war organiza =
tion going.
1--WE must make the arts OF peace as
interesting as the arts of war and We
must get hold of the committee workers
who have learned to work together.
Never let them get back into their
pigeonholcs of inactivity"
In speaking of the part which socia
workers ought to play in the field OF
industrial labor, Mrs. White urged their
active interest in the wage rate and
housing conditions.

which they have taught us. They
are dead they have done their ut
most to show their devotion to great

1t is our privilege and our high duty
to cOnsecrate ourselves afresh on
day like this to the objects for which
they fought. 1t is not necessary that
| should rehearse to you what these
objects were. These men did not
come across the sea merely to defeat
Germany and her associated powers
in the war. They came to defeat for
ever the things for which the Central
Powers stood. the sort of power they
meant to assert in the world, the ar
rogant, selfish domination which they
meant to establish and they came,
moreover. to see to it that there should
never be a war like this again.

| According to the Temps, the essential
points in the agreement are:
First. Fiume, not including the sub

to the west, an independent state under
the league of nations. This state will
be bounded by Italian territory and con
tain the railroad from Fiume to Lai-

of Trieste on the Adriatic) will be placed
under the sovereignty of Italy, which
renounces any other part Of the Dalma =
tian coast and hinterland.
Third. Italy will exercise sovereignty
over islands called strategic, namely
Cherso twelve miles southwest OF
Fiume, belonging to Istria), Lussin
southwest of Cherso and also 1strian
and Lissa (thirty three miles southwest
of Spalato, in the Adriatic. belonging to

Furthermore, says the Temps, the
