WOMEN'S NATIONALITY, FRIDAY, BKlTKMltKR 7, 1017. NO SWEATSHOP U-YIFOHMH. Secretary of War Bakor Is determ lned that the unirorms worn by Amoricuns will not coino from scenes of labor troubloB nor from unsani tary workshops. Ho has created board of control for labor standard In the manufacture of army clothes, The members of this board are Louis Klrsteln of the Fllene store In Boston: Mrs. Florence Kelloy, gen eral secretary of the National Con Burners' League; Captain Walter 13, Kruest of tho ouartoriiiautor corpB, Secretary Baker s statement In re gard to this board 1b ono of the most Interesting utterances of the war, One paragraph says: "Tho government cannot permit Its work to be done undor sweatshop conditions, and It cannot allow the evils widely complained of to go un corrected. Only througu the estab lishment of such a body as tho board of control now created will tho gov ernment be assured that army cloth ing Is manufactured under recogniz ed Industrial standards and In an at mosphero of good will between man ufacturers and operatives. Tills alone will lnsuro fit clothing and its prompt delivery for army needs. Standards are changing ho fast that It iB almost impossible to keep up with them. Or perhaps idealists all over the world are holding up standards concculed from view by dense fogs of materialism. These fogs the winds of war havo swept away and Ideals now shlno brightly. Only yestorday Production, Wealth Industry were magic names. As ends they woro mado to Justify any moans of oppression, lnhurmony,. (misery. And today not only nuiBt tho condl Hons undor which our army clothes are made bo clean and wholesome, but there must bo "an atmosphore of good will between ninnulucturoi's and operatives. Tills alono will in sure fit clothing and its prompt de livery for army needs. Whllo wo win peaco, shall we also win good will to men? It Is sincerely hoped thnt the inno cent girls who witnessed tho demon stration nl the depot last ovening when a troop of soldiers passed tnrougii tno city and woro "slobbered over" by a couplo of young girls who wore lucking to a groat degree that common decency Hint would bo cx- pocted of them, hud "pulled oft" something that was at all com plimentary to tho sex. Patriotism Is a mighty lino virtue, but It can bo carried to extremes, as was the case last evening. -Promiscuous kiss ing Is a very silly way of expressing respoct for the soldier boys nud lust night's 'demonstration" was about as rank as has eomo to tho notice of a Roseburg "platform" audlenco. With vory intlniuto friends tho prac tice Is sanctioned, but when a "whole sale business," as was the caso limt ovening, is put on tho market, it bocomes very disgusting nud a stig ma of disrespect is evident, even among the soldiers, for tho opposite sex. It's time to cut UiIh stuff and no self-respecting girl would bo caught carrying out theso antics in public. Speaking of efficiency. From a soldlor'B letter written, from ono of tho training camps in tho south wo are told that a bunk house Is ISO feet long, two stories high, and that ono of theso buildings Is completed in two hours and forty minutes by two hiin- nrea mon working on It. That's get ting ronuy on tho Junrji. The war has brought up a new problem that suffrage organizations and associations of women through out tho belligerent and neutral conn tries of. Europe are now trying to solve. The problem Is the national lty of married women. A married woman in most conn tries has no choice of nationality. She belongs to the nation to which her husband givos his allegiunco. In timo of peace and in places where women have no voice In the govern ment this arbitrary determination of their nationality has not troubled them much, But with the Bprend ( woman suffrage the question begins to assume interest. And in Luro- pean countries the war has tnado It of immediate Importance. Mauy wo men, It is said, have perforce been treated as enemy aliens In their own countries, simply because they bail married before the war Into a tlon now an enemy to their native land. A committee of the International Woman Suffrage Alilanco is conduct ing a uiiestionulre to obtain exacl information as to the nationul status of married women. Other alliances and national councils of women Switzerland. Swoeden, France, Aus tria and Great Britain have- been urging the need of roform In this matter. Apparently tho question will have to be settled Internationally. The laws of the different countries will have to be uniform or married wo men will find themselves owing a! lcglunco to two countries. There must, of course, be many cases where a woman's choice of nation ality Is her husband's. But if she prefers to remain a citizen of her native land though marrying a for eigner, Blie certainly ought to havo the same privilego of choice that ner' husband has. Thoro is likely to Ibo an alterca tion between father and son when It conies to deciding which is giving the Imitation of Napoleon. The Russian men will have to be fine sold'lerB indoed to be worthy of the girls who aro fighting In tho Battalion of Death. Nothing Is being heard from Deo pie who onco thought of lotting Ln- Follotto run himself for President of tho United States. Thoro Is no chance now of Bond ing over a peace Bhlp. Tho subma rines would torpedo it without mercy. Ordinarily a light temporarily Htops tho argument; but not In the cuho of tho proitcnt war. a largo number or Auslrians are beginning to wondor what tho Gor man crown prince is to them. A stnto highway without brldires Is like the old sand-slough In high waters you can't drive over It. RELATIVE OF MARSTERS It, W.
