MANY SCHOOLS FOR GIRLS
Women of Finland Fortunate From
an Educational Point of View
Work During Labor Troubles
Wins Them Vote.

Washington, D. CIT seems only
natural that Finland, land where
women have had the vote for 13 years,
and won it by their participation in
quelling labor troubles like those which
now assail the United States of Amer
lea, should be one of the first portions
of the dismembered Russian empire to
get up a stable constitutional govern
ment," says bulletin from the Wash
ington headquarters of the National
Geographic society.
This new member Of the family of
free nations is described in a COM
munication to the society by Baroness
Alletta Korff as follows:
'From an educational point of view
the women in Finland have been very
fortunate, as there are many excellent
schools for girls and a number of CO.
educational schools throughout the
country which prepare students for
the university examinations.
Girls Admitted In 1873.
"Girls were admitted to the univer-
sity in 1873, and, until the war inter-
vened, they not only attended lectures,
but took part in all branches of uni
versity life; they participated in all
the celebrations and festivities, and
were members of the various clubs
and student organizations, in which
they were on a footing Of perfect
equality with the men and frequently
were elected to various official posi-
lions. After they were graduated from
one of the several high schools or from
the university there were many
branches of work open to them.
eThey became teachers, even in the
state school for boys; cashiers or
bookkeepers in banks, clerks in state
archives and in many branches of the
civic administration.
'"There are really not enough edu-
Gated men to meet the requirements of
the country, and consequently the CO.
operation of the women is a matter
of vital Importance. 1t not infrequent-
ly happened, in normal times, that
even married women in comparatively
good circumstances, sought employ
ment outside their homes.

eral stations at widely separated To-
cations. One message in particular
was peculiarly designed to add to the
| enemy's suspicion OF the approaching
| trouble--an imperative demand for 200

sheet, "plan directeur map" This
could only be interpreted by the Ger
mans, the Americans agreed, as prepa-
ration for a coming drive on the Briey
| iron center.
In addition to the wireless the *
army also had in operation, on the
front between Bezonaux and Fresnes,
a telephone squad-a careless squad
which set up telephone stations here
| and there and sent messages and
talked shop and gossipcd all night
about the arrival of some old friends
| from America with such and such an
outfit.
The tx" army telephone squad took
no chances THAI the Germans might
not hear the conversations the Amer
! leans desired them to record. They
deliberately grounded their wires, so
| the enemy could "listen in" ane
crawled out into No Mans Land In
the darkness and hooked one of the
American wires on a German barbed
wire in front Of an abandoned trench
system. In the front line of modern
warfare the telephone is a most dam
gerous instrument, for both sides de-
vised apparatus which within certain
limits could pick up conversations
over enemy lines with which it was
not even connected. So the Ameri-
cans felt certain that all their CONVEX
sations were heard by the Germans.
Get Results at Once.
Two days after the tx army" began
it's operations the results began to be
noticeable, the nervousness on the
part Of the Germans being exhibited in
| many ways, the enemy first sending
over a large number Of airplanes to
make reconnaissance. The Germans
also began series of trench raids to
obtain prisoners for the purpose OF
l lUGnTlIvllg uulUS VI Tic lOICcS OppV-
site them. German prisoners captured
by the French told of wild alarms in
the night on the part of the German
forces, hurried reinforcement of the
main line of resistance, and various
other movements which indicated that
the enemy was exerting extreme
watchfulness on account of the activ-
ity of the army operated by hand
| full of Americans.
When the armistice became effec-
tive on November IL the little yAmeri-
can tx army" still held its ground
in the field near Verdun, and opposite
it's supposed position five crack Ger
man divisions stood their guard, not
even suspecting that they had been
triclked by a few ingenious young
Yankees who were delighted at the re-
suits obtained by their mischievous
schemes, which had worked so success
fully in deceiving the wise German
veterans of a five years war.

of the strong armed" methods of Min
lister of Defense Noske in muzzling
any newspaper that dares to displease
the administration.
This feeling has been accentuated by
the fact that within the last month
the extreme reactionary newspaper
Deutsche Zeitung and the extreme rad
zeal newspaper Freiheit were sup
pressed.
This is interpreted everywhere as an
indication of the extreme nervousness
and insecurity of the ministry.
The Vossiche Zeitung was suspended

which depend the return of German
war prisoners from France.

net cannot be accused of bad inten-
tions. but are wholly incapable" said
Bernhard.
Germany cannot repay France in
money. SO must give labor and goods.
Payment in labor requires the closest
harmony of effort between the two
countries"
