Admiral Fletcher characterized the
work of the war Industries board as
one of the great achievements of the
war" and declared the members of the
board complimented highly the eff

No loss of shipping or failure of the
navy transport troops to France pro-
longed the war for a single day, the
admiral asserted. Admiral Sims as
sertion that ''the navy department is
responsible for the loss of two and a
half million tons of shipping, the pro-
longation of the war for four months,
fifteen billio ndollars of debt and the
loss of 10000 lives" was based upon
assumption and had no foundation in
fact, the officers declared.
'"The whole conclusion reached in
the accusation is built upon the flimsy
foundation of a hypothetical condition

tude win be based first on mainten-
ance of the entente and second on
strict execution of the treaty of Yer
sailles
The French, although declaring
themselves not satisfied with some of
the terms of the treaty, accepted it as
finally signed and now consider if a
sort or charter as regards relations
with Germany. Great Britain, il is
thought here, considers-it rather as a
sort of elastic basis of settlement of
european affairs which is capable of
divers notifications.
> Cancellation of these view points
will be the object of the ensuing con-
versations. during which France. it is
stated, probably will ask Great Brit
ain whether it stands for execution of
the treaty.
1t IS recalled that Articles, AZ, 43 and
A or the Versailles treaty defined ac-
tions by Germany which might be
regarded as calculated TO disturb the
peace of the world and it is pointed
out that such action by Germany was
accomplished when the reichswehr
penetrated the Ruhr district
In provision for such violation of the
treaty by Germany, Great Britain and
the United States through their rep
reSentatives in Paris, it is noted
agreed in separate treaties to support
France against the German menace
but those treaties, it is recalled in Off
cial circles, are thus far a dead letter
France, it is declared here, is thus
left alone facing Germany which is
attacking one after another the
clauses of the treaty
The opinion is expressed in official
circles that while maintenance of the
entente is the first point on which
future conversations must be based
there appears to be a need of read
justment of the relations of the entente
powers. The original understanding
having been to ward off the menace
of aggression by it was continued dur
ing the war with a view of winning
the war but was never adjusted tc
after-war conditions which, it is as
serted here, require a more compre-
hensive accord.

YOUNG WOMEN
ARE in DEMAND
SALVATION ARMY NEEDS WORK
ERS WHO WILL GIVE UP PLEAS
uRES FOR SAKE OF SERVICE TO
POOR AND NEEDY.

Atlanta April a. Wanted: Five
hundred young women; must have
abundant energy and desire to lead
lives of usefulness; no shipping tours;
no tea dances; no nightly cabarets.
IF the Salvation Army should put
its needs into the want ad columns
of the newspapers the foregoing want
adj would be appearing daily in the
newspapers throughout the country,
for that is exactly what the Saliva
ton Army needs today-five hun
dred young women who are willing to
forego the so-called worldly pleasures
and devote their time and their talent
to tightening the burdens of the less
fortunate.
The call for these young women
has been sent broadcast throughout
the United States and it applies with
especial force to the young women of
the south where the Salvation Army
just now is broadening the scope of its
activities among the needy.
Mrs. Margaret Bovill, veteran Sal
vationist, is at the head of all activi-
ties for women and children east of
the Mississippi river. Her offices are
at National Headquarters, No. 122
West Fourteenth street, New York,
and this is what she has to say about
the need for Salvation Army lassies
to spread comfort, happiness and self
confidence among the millions who
need help.
'sThe work of the Salvation Army
has grown beyond our fondest hopes;
we need capable young women to
carry on our service to humanity.
do you know" she asked, there
are more than one million idle women
in the United States? The ambitions
of most of these idlers have not gone
beyond the stage of bonbons and the
latest novels. A large proportion of
these / feel sure, would welcome a
change to lead lives of usefulness if
they knew the opportunity. The Sal
walton Army now offers them every
sort of useful work-nursing in the
army's hospitals, infant hygiene in the
children's homes, relief and rescue
work in the slum settlements, encour-
aging the broken derelicts, men and
women, to hold up their heads again
and lead new lives.
Il know of no happier girls than our
Salvation Army lassies. They are
serving God and humanity; they say
they are richly paid for spreading
sympathy and happiness. The trumpet
has sounded. Young women, the Army

The Housing Famine

The only real alienation of the
housing situation in this city must
come through new construction. Dis
ciplining the rent profiteer, desirable
as it is, will not create more living
space. There is a deadlock in build
ing, and it is proposed to get the
building contractors, the building
trades unions and the real estate
loaning interests together in order
to break it.
The cooperation Of these three
groups might result in a moderate
renewal Of building activities. Yet
these groups alone cannot control
the situation. The makers of build
ing materials must be taken into ac-
count; and the present extravagant
prices Of brick, cement, sand, struc-
tural steel, lumber and hardware
would carry the cost of construction
SO high that new buildings would
represent a risky investment.
Here we see in operation the
vicious effects of the spiraling of
costs. Every factor incites the other
factors to boost prices. If we are
not yet at the peak of initiation all
calculations are subject to alteration
for the worse. If we are at the peak
the investment is likely to be i'm
paired by crash or a. gradual de-
cline.
The outlook for new building on
a large scale is dark. If lower rents
and larger housing facilities are to
be attained by such construction
there must be a combined effort on
the part of all groups in the COM
munity to defate the costs which
now obstruct building and DESTROY
confidence in the stability Of new
realty investments.

rs many men to prison. Bolshevik
leaders, driven by ambition, are per-
forming experiments upon living peo-
pie, especially the working classes"
One can readily sympathize with
the truth of these words, but they
sound rather hypocritical from the
mouth Of Maxim Gorhy. Gorky has
played very unenviable role in the
Russian revolution. In fact, Of all
the Russian intellectuals he has pro-
voked contempt and pity both from
Bolsheviki and Bolshaviki. His
opinions have altered throughout the
revolution in accordance with the
political breezes Of the moment, and
in that regard the Novnyn Zshis1a
has played in the period of the revo-
luton the role performed by the
Novoe Vremya under the old
regime. And of the Novoe Vremya

Schedrin wrote: "You may have
anything you wish, gentlemen, for
the agility with which you turned
your noses in the direction of every

The Disgrace of the INHALED

There is illumination and pathos
despite unconscious humor-in the
following brief letter of a corre-
spondcnt in The NeqU Republic:
"And you who read these words,
what are you going to say twenty
years hence, when the little children,
studying their history lessons around
the fresde, look up and ask, What
did you do for the cause of freedom
in those dark days?' Are you not 60
ing to have to confess with me that
throughout the whole four years Of
war hysteria you never were in jail
once?"
Ribald laughter is the natural re-
action to this plaintive utterance
Of one who did not raise obstacles
and find fault enough when great
works were under way to get into
jail. Yet after the laughter has
died down perhaps a little analysis
of the mentality exhibited by the
letter is in order. We all know peo-
pie, admirable people in intention,
who talk much as does this person
aggrieved at himself for being at
large.
Not simple cantankerousness-
the l~won't-play spirit of the spoile d
chiid-is here expressed. Rather is
the ideal that of the perfectionist
who must have everything right be-
fore he can go ahead. Goodness
knows there was nothing perfect
about the war. There were blunders
and excesses from haste and incom-
petence from start to finish. I'm the
heat of war perfect tolerance was
utterly impracticable and impossible.
The defeatist logic of The NcaU Re-
public, for instance, angered and
irritated-it never persuaded. Less
urbane and cautious pacifsm was
howled down by irate groups and
communities. But whether permitted
or not, the point is that such talk,
running counter to a deep national
resolve based on the profoundest in
stlncts of human nature, could not
always be calmly considered.
1t might be delightful if the world
were composed of human beings who
could fight to the last gasp and with
their last gasp debate Tho Neav Re-
public's latest theory of polite revo-
luton. But human beings are not
so composed. The human method is
to win the fight first and then talk
over what is to be done; and those
who insist upon talking instead of
fighting are pretty apt to receive
rude treatment for their pains.
Just how dark" have the days of
this war hysteria" been? Consid-
ering the magnitude Of the task and

the urgency Of the errand, we think
the country has done amazingly
we'll. AS for free speech, surely
radicalism never was talking its
head off so constantly and frankly as
here in America and now. The
country is not listening or following,
but that is not through lack of free
speech. 1t would be pleasant to
crafty the appetite for Jail. Very
likely nation Of Sweets would
think it worth while to crafty it,
But this is neither a nation Of
Sweets nor of silly radicals.
When the children gather round
the fireside twenty years hence we
doubt If there will be much glory
either for those few who fought the
great war with their mouths from
behind prison bars or those few who
through the war forgot what Ameri-
can freedom and government by the
people signifed.
