Overseas Service Women

Americans have given very little
thought to the women who lost their
lives in the cause Of tha Allies in
the great war. 1t is something of q
shock, therefore, to hear that 161
American women made the final
sacrifice and that twenty-five of
them were from New York City. The
list has been compiled and made
public by the Women's Overseas
Service League, but is not yet COM
plete. Nearly every state in the
Union is represented. They served
in the army and Red Cross nursing
service and in the canteens of the
Z. w. and Y. NJ. G. A. Their graves
are scattered abroad, as are the
graves of the men of the expedition
airy forces, from France to Siberia.
The fact that the women who went
overseas did SO in a ministering
rather than an aggressive capacity
has helped develop the illusion that
they were not in danger of death
directly due to the hazards of war.
One thought of them as well behind
the lines, working and weary,
TO be sure, but safe. And but for
the memorial list just published the
fact that any overseas service women
were killed by German shells and
bombs while on duty in hospitals and
canteens or died of disease contract
ed in the battle regions would pass
unnoticed.
This seeming indifference is, Of
course, due wholly to ignorance, and
when the Overseas League completes
its list and offers plans for me-
mortal there is no doubt that it will
receive the hearty support of the
public.

look upon science and upon life that
are had by the physicians who min
lister to the needs of the body, or to
the lawyers who minister to the civic
and commercial needs of the people.
To say that contact with and par
ticipation in university life and cul-
ture would be detrimental to tho
clergy would be an intolerable plea
of weakness. On the contrary, 1t
may be confidently assumed that
such system would be greatly to
the benefit of the church and would
tend to avoidance of those occa-
sional 'thcresy hunts" and contro-
versies over supposed conflicts be-
tween science and faith, which are
far from being edifying or profta-
Bile to anybody concerned in them.

The War Debts

What is the real European view
of our foreign debt funding policy?
Mr.. Hoover recently outlined the
Administrators attitude, which is,
in brief, that cancellation is not
practicable or desirable. 1t is in
teresting to find stout support given
TO the Hoover declarations by an
eminent English economic writer,
Mr.. Arthur w. Kiddy, editor of "The
Bankers Magazine" and financial
editor of @The Morning Post"

What Readers Sau
Putting Over" Prohibition

0tuIIS oVcr TrohtDitlQN
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent George
Westervelt, in fine language, makes the
same old statement about putting over
prohibition when nobody was looking.
Does he mean that millions OF voters
did not know what they were doing +?
de is too Intelligent to think that.
Does Mr.. Westervelt remember that
year after year the people appealed to
their various legislatures for the
privilege Of voting on the liquor aues-
sion under local option?
Year after year they we're denied the
right to do SO because the vets knew
that large parts of the country would
go dry by direct votes of the citizens.
and 1t was only by concentrating ON
Representatives who would vote for
local option that the people had an
opportunity to exhibit their sentiments.
Why are the vets SO anxious for a
vote now, when they denied it TO the
drys so many years?

Candlelight Precautions

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In waxing enthusiastic over the
beauty" OF candlslight the author of
an article In your issue Of October %
overlooks entirely the fire hazard
created by tho use of such illumina-
ton.
Under proper conditions candles
may be lighted with safety--when the
stick Is sturdy, with broad base, and
IN places where there are no infiam-
maole draperies near by--but ex-
perience proves that ideal conditions
are the rare exception rather than
the rule. It may be taken as an
axiom that open flames Of all kinds
are dangerous. According to the
statistics of orr actuarial bureau
they cause, on the average, the de-
struction of about $s,25o,ooo worth Of
property each year.

The fiscal courage. shown last

Oldtin1e Boarding Houses

TN VIEW Of the present congestion
in housing It would not surprise me
TO see the old-Yaghioned boarding house
come once more into fits own. 1t is
true that there are still boarding
houses in the town, but they are not
what they were in other days, for they
are, largely speaking, more luxurious,
better kept and more costly than in
my youth.
That boarding was favorite scheme

century is evidenced by the fact that

Where Congress Did Its Best

One thing which this Congress did
was not sufficiently remembered in
It's favor last Tuesday. That was
its wlole-hearted work for Federal
setrenchment. II protected the
Treasury and routed the spenders.
The fiscal year fs2I-'22 ended on
June so last with surplus of s313,-
o00, 600. Meanwhile Congress had
cut The war taxes. So the appropri-
atoms needed for 1922 -'23, though

the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In the Democratic landslide of
last Tuesday there did not seem TO be
one drop of soothing syrup for Mr..
Wilson. In Nebraska his stanch
supporter, Senator Hitchcock, was
showed under, while in Missouri Sena.
tor Reed, who was kicked out Of the
San Francisco Democratic Wilson Con-
vention Of 1920, was reelected by
$4,000 majority. Hence, we must infer
that ex-President Wilson and Senator
Hitchcock were repudiated and Sena-
tor Reed vindicated. II seems to be a
blessing that the American people can
pick up few crumbs Of comfort from,
the late lamented election.
