Women Start World War on War
BY HARRY b. HUNT

Washington, ID. C., April rs
American women are on the war
path.
If you don't believe il, look over
the list of organizations in which
\ women are dominant, which have de-
! clared war on war.
There are as such organizations,
working on a national basis. They
represent a membership of between
100000 and 50,O00,0OO.
With the issue of Americas par
ticipation in the world court already
placed by President Harding himself
in the forefront of questions to be de-
cided by Congress or the people in
1924. with this issue reyiving inter
est in and pressure for Americas
adherence TO the League of Nations,
and with I6 national organizations
joining in a drive TO promote steps
for international good will and
world peace. the issue of America :
international relationships seems
certain to 5e a dominant one in the
1924 presidential and Congressional
campaigns.
Consolidation Effort.
An effort will be made by the Ma
tional Council for Prevention of War.
of which Mrs. Clifford Pinchot, wife
of the Republican governor of Penn
sylvania is a leading worker, to con-
solidate the anti-war sentiment and
efforts of all local, state and ma
tional organizations committed to that
cause.
Adherence to the anti-war cause
will be placed above adherence TO

Of faith to be followed will be the

All this is being met by coun-
ter-offensive by the isolations and
big army and navy groups. Already
propaganda is under way for new
campaign of preparedness.
The women meet this by citing
that centuries of war have failed to
bring peace, and now that women

GERMAN RAILROAD MEN
EXPELLED BY FRENCH,
ARE PAID BY BERLIN
All Are State Employees
and Look to Government
for Their Wages.
By A. X. DECKER.
Special Cable to the San Antonio Light
and the Chicago Daily News.



London, April 2S.-Three thousand
German railroad men, with their fami-
lies, have been expelled by the French
from the Rhineland and the Ruhr. In
Guiding customs officials, government
administrators and postal, telegraph
and telephone employees the explosions
including their families total more
than 10000.
1t seems that the measures taken
by the French and Belgians have for
their object the influencing of Ger
man workmen to collaborate with the
occupational forces. In the case OF
the railroaders and their families the
explosions are partly to provide quar-
tiers for imported men for it has be-
come more and more necessary to in
crease the number of trainmen TO
move the coal and coke cars loaded at
the occupied dumps and TO enable the
empty trains to return so as to avoid
a ear shortage.
There are perhaps 10000 German
railroad men in the Rhine and Ruhr
districts. There is 10 evidence that
these intend to yield TO pressure and
to move French trains. During the
present extension Of the French occu-
patton along the Wanne-Dortmund
line the German railroaders walked
out when asked by the French if they
would continue TO work.
Thus the passive and active resist
ance campaign has apparently not
changed. Although the Ruhr rail traf-
fic hardly exists for the Germans
there is no sign of yielding. German
resistance will probably continue as
long as the Reich pays the wages or
the railroad men who are state en-
ployes looking to the federal govern
ment for their pay, pensions and po'
sitions and who fear the result when
the French and Belgians withdraw.
To break the resistance OF the rail.
road men the French and Belgians try
to block wage payments by the Reich.
! Large sums have been seized while
| payments are being made and station
cashiers have been forced to account
for money when suspected of paying
| wages TO strikers. just how the
Reich continues the payments is q
mystery for it is done secretly. 1t is
thought that the money is printed in
the Ruhr and Rhincland and distrib
uted by paymastcrs who visit the rail
road men individually.
Each German railroad man expects
TO be expelled and so each is provided
with a card which upon expulsion il
signed by an official whcreupon tn
! employe is told where 10 report il
unoccupied Germany.
