WOMEN WORKERS "In Germany, in certain industries, the proportion of total work done by women has risen from slightly under 18 per cent 5 in 1914 to practically 60 per cent in 1917." Chicago Tribune. This big increase in the proportion of women employed in indus tries since the beginning of the war in 1914 is significant in its bear ing upon the productive power of Germany after the war ends. It means that the loss of man power in war is to be. made up by woman power. It means that the total of industrial production will be main tained, and probably increased. It means that Germany is prepared to resume her position as an exporter of manufactures to world mar kets; that with great additions from the female population she will have more workers and cheaper workers than ever before. , ''Men must work and women must weep," said the poet. -Yes; wo men must weep for the lost ones, but they must work as never before. The increase in three years of from cent of women in German industries is not true of Germany alone. There has been an enormous increase of women workers in every one of the warring countries of Europe. To an extent never, before ex perienced the women of the Old World have entered the industrial ranks. The same thing is to be said of the Orient. Japan is today employing more women and children them from 4 to 1U cents a day. What is going to be the effect in of peace, of this wholesale drafting The answer is plain : Lower wages and a larger volume of industrial production than ever before. With this must come keener competi tion and a fiercer struggle for export markets. If the present tariff law remains in force after the war market that is widest open to the American labor and production will iaix ana suuieieni protection.

Four years ago tomorrow, on June 28, 1914. the spark was touched to the powder keg when the Crown Prince Ferdinand of Austria and his wife were assassinated at Sarajevo, In Bosnia.

The Sammies are likely from now on to keep a front page position in the newspapers of the world, till the big show is over.
