TlHE recent appointment of women mem
! bers on the executive committee Of the
Democratic national committee places an
squal number Of men and women at the head
Of the activities Of that party. These mem
bers were chosen on account Of special ability
for service and not according to location.
Women whose training or experience had
given them power to aid in the coming cam
paign, which Will be one Of the most i'm
portant in history, were selected BY the
chairman Of the national committee. Ability
to give much time and energy to party de-
mands was one of the necessary qualihca-
tions, and when this was written only eleven
Of the seventeen members had been named.
Two women, Mrs. George Bass, Of m-
nois, chairman Of the womanTS bureau, and
Miss Mary e. Fox, associate committee
woman Of California, have been placed on
the committee on arrangements for the ma
tional convention, which win meet in San
Francisco June 2s. This is the first time
such an honor was conferred on women, al
saough since 1908 women have sat in Dem
ecratic national conventions. It looks as II
many women will be sent to San Francisco
o. delegates. In the western states there
b q tendency to be exceedingly generous in
haring the privilege Of choosing a presi-
aential candidate, and It is estimated that at
least one third Of the convention may be
composed Of women.
The seventeen women who will work with
the seventeen men on the executive COMMITTEES
will be actual members Of the committee and
not merely associates. They will share all
responsibilities and all duties. The execu-
tive committee during the presidential cam
paign thus will have a membership Of thirty
four instead Of seventeen. The Democratic
national committee already has added q
number Of women equal to that of the men

committeeman of each state-but though
these women members have been included In
deliberations and activities Of the commit
tee, it seems that they cannot be officially
included until the rules of organization are
amended to include them, which step may Be-
taken in San Francisco.
The reason Of this necessary change OF
rules In organization was the one advanced
hy the Republican national committee for not
having followed the Democratic plan Of
adding an equal number Of women in its
membership. The Republicans have q
woman's division or national committee Of
ten women, and have placed nineteen women
on the committee Of III on platforms and

WAR LOSSES APPALLING.
2,56O,OOO Dead and Wounded and
100000 Homes Destroyed is
New French Estimate.

Paris, May 21.-What is perhaps the
first concise and comprehensive state
ment of Frances war losses has just
been made by Captain Andre Tardieu,
former French High Commissioner in
the United States. In describing what
he calls the balance sheet of France,
Captain Tardieu states that during the
five years of the war S,000,000 men were
mohilized, of whom 100000 were killed
100000 manned and 100000 wounded.
France thus lost 81 per cent of her men
under 81 years of age.
Concerning material losses, Captain
Tardieu states that 100000 houses were
destroyed, 75,000,0O0 acres of arabic
land laid waste and 5000 miles of rail-
road and 25,000 miles of highways de-
stroyed Mines which produced 55 per
cent of Frances total coal output were
damaged or destroyed; II 500 factories
which before the war produced 95 per
cent of the wooden goods, 90 per cent
of the linen material, 20 per cent of the
sugar and 60 per cent of the cotton goods
were crippled.
One-third of Frances ships were sunk
by German submarines. To defray the
cost of munitions of war and food sup
plies, France had to raise more than 8,0O0,-
600. 900 francs, of which sum she was forced
to lend 100000, 900 to foreign countries
