WOMEN SEE
 PEACE HOPE

WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec. g.
 Women of the International League for Peace and Freedom are much more hopeful of abol- ishing war since the advent of the Kellogg Peace treaty, says Miss Anne Martin, Western Re- gional Director. who is in Wash ington with Miss Jane Addams. President of the League.
 Tt is a step in the right di- rection," says Miss Martin. Women have been inartieulate politically so long, but now they have voice in world affairs and this fact, coupled with the fact that governments are actually talking about outlawing war, is most hopeful sign
 The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom held it's first meetings at the Hague in May. 1915. Fifteen hundred women from 12 eoun- tries assembled there to try to find a way to prevent further. wars.

beginning with the new fiscal year, July ].
The house by a vote Of PSI to IA gave its approval
to the Smoot-Welch bill providing for the added COM
p~ensation, and the senate Is prepared to do likewise
without delay. The act. a compromise on the ques-
ton Of increased salaries. was accepted by congress
sionaI leaders and the president before being intro
duced into the house. The ~ who voted against the
bill in the house explained that they did SO only be-
cause they viewed the contemplated increases as not
sufficiently liberal.
The legislation is in response to urgent demands
that government employees. particularly those IN The
lower grades. have their salaries adjusted to present
dsy wage scales. Government workers, through theie
leaders, pointed out that there has not be an adjust
ment Of federal salaries for many years and that the
governmental wage standards had fallen far below
both economic needs and private industry schedules
Practically every government employe, especially
those in the lower grades, from whose ranks came the
most insistent plea for additional compensation, will
receive 4 substantial increase with the exception os
tbs postal service, the foreign service and certain
skilled grades in the navy yard. government printing
office and bureau Of engraving and printing whose
nav Is now regulated by wage boards. The measure
specifically provides against reduction in salary for
anv government worker.
One of the features Of the bill is that il provides
for new grades in the professional and administrative
services. paying salaries in excess Of $4,000 a year, to
take care Of the situation frequently reported to con-
gresS in which the government is constantly losing the
services Of most efficient, specially trained men, such
as experts in the bureau Of standards. The president
and the bureau Of the budget and the bureau Of eff
cheney have been particularly inSistent that these
Grades should be included in the bill, and IL il believed
their establishment will really mean q considerable
economy 20 the government.

IL there romance in the daily life Of the big city
Well, listen to this true story that 7 heard yesterday.
A woman who is in business in the midtown sec.
ton told me the story. She is, ! should say, 40 years
old, and not beautiful. She is crippled, due to an ac-
cident, and walks with a limp.
Fourteen years ago. when she was unmarried, this
woman got into a telephone mixup while trying to get
a number. An unidentified man was also trying ~
get a number in another part of the city, and three
times, through some perversity Of fate and operators.
the two were connected.
The man then suggested, in a well-modulated and
pleasing tone, that perhaps after all he should talk 20
this girl. since fate would have it SO. A light and ban
tering conversation ensued.
Fourteen years ago. And that man has called that
woman on the telephone at irregular intervals ever
since.
They have never seen one another. They have
never asked questions about the private affairs or
personal appearance Of one another. He doesn't want
to see her. and she doesn't want to see him.
She has married meantime, and has half-grown
children. Her husband 'nows about the strange ro-
nance Of the telephone, and thinks it amusing.
Sometimes the man of mystery calls twice or three
times in a month. Sometimes he does not call for
three or four months at a time. The conversations
have ceased to be playful. The man has idealized the
woman. He tells her how beautiful she is in his i'm.
agination, and what a wonderful character she pos
sesses. He las created her his ideal woman, and ne
writes poetry to her, which he recites sometimes. It is
good poetry.
The man uses the language OF an educated and cuI-
tivated gentleman. The woman Is not educated. but
her voice is soft and agreeable, and she talks interest
ingly. Both If the telephone romancers are able thus
70 escape from the realities Of life. and romance is
the only real thing to them for hours after one OF
these conversations. She is sad because she is 50 far

that flying should be possible over

Il is folly to attempt to make the Porto Rieans

We do not deny that We have received benefits from

of American charity and not from the viewpoint Of
Porto Rican rights. We are asking not charity, but
rights.
While conditions in Porto Rico at the time Of the
American occupation were not particularly favorable,
natural under the circumstances. there existed then.
and has developed since. the basis Of a civilization just
as wise and just as vigorous as the Anglo-Saxon civil
