THE NATION QUIETLY PREPARES
The country in mnA
■ ms toward mobilization along many
line* in fhe direction of final prepar
edness. To be specific, the army mob
lization under the new enforced draft
plan Is daily rounding Into more defi
nite Torm. Judge Lovett, one of the
great organising minds of the nation
hn.n unHariBiwu iirr co-ordination 01
war reller work in connection with the
lied Cross Society. The transporta
tion field has In like manner been
organized. Also, work has already
been started on the construction of
vessels as a part of the shipping pro
gram.
The food question, too, is rapidly
passing from the realm of public dis
cussion to that of real official action.
Promising developments of U boat
rontrol have been taking place and
the country has maintained an even
keel ajustlng itself to war conditions
without Shy serious shock to business
conditions. The government has an
nounced that it Is now ready to as
sure the people that all the rifles and
ammunition, needed will be in readi
ness for the American troops as fast
as they are enlisted and prepared for
foreign service.
There are Springfield and Enfield
rifles on hand sufficient to arm a mil
lion men. They are there ready al
though congress is still squabbling as
to which is the proper arm to use. The
government official bulletin declares
that its facilities in this direction are
fully equal te every possible demand.
Thu Mime aiiiboTtty asserts that the
field artillery Is also being cared for.
Large guns of a approved foreign
type are already being turned out in
this country In great numbers for the
allies. These are now to be turned
out for our own use. An American
three Inch light artillery gun has been
recently perfected and adopted which
Is said to be the superior of that most
wonderful of all modern war weapons
—the French 78 mm., made so famous
in the present war.
In addition, munition plants are
being perfected and extended In all
parts of the country to handle not only
our own munitions needs hut also
those of our allies.
The government has also shown
commendable diligence In preparing to
Ibondle the {matter of protect In «u
against the foes that may be within
our borders and thousands of secret
agents ora watching night and day
throughout the country to apprehend
any attempt to commit nefarious acts
by those not in sympathy With us.
No one wants war and «U would
have escaped its blasting Influence
had It been possible to do so without
I
bringing the nation Into contempt and
ridicule. But, now that It has come,
we are calmly preparing In a quiet
and businesslike way to give the
kaiser and other cynical ones a big
surprise by and by. And It is all as
grim and methodical and business
like as modern ingenuity and absence
of Rentiment can make It.
Not a sign of flag waving, no out
bursts of patriotic fervor, no blare of
trumpets, no shouting. But when the
hour has struck, when the test begins,
Ire will be ready.
WIVES NO LONGER SLAVES.
_____
I Woman should stand beside man as
J the comrade of his soul—not as his
servant and the dredge of the house.
The kitchen stove has lost its “holi
ness” and home made pies and dough
nuts like mother used to make are
things to be forgotten.
In this wise deposeth Mrs. Charlotte
Terkins Gilman, the writer. Cooking
should be done for entire communl
ttea bv experts, Mrs. Gilman declares,!
And further:
The corner drug store and the sa j
loon would become extinct by the
raising of the art of cookery to Its
proper professional and scientific po
sition, Mrs. Gilman asserts. And then
the good lady goes on to say:
Proper cooking and efficient house ■
hold service cannot be obtained for
the family so long as we treat cooking
as a sex function and eating as a
family function not otherwise rightly
accomplished.
The se,xuo-economic in the house
hold today makes offlelent and econo
mical management of the household
impossible.
Our domestic economy la the most1
wasteful department of life. The little
Industrial group of the home is very
near the bottom of the line of economic
progress. It costs men more money,
women more work and both more
time and strength than are needed
by half The error of the housewife
is her assumption that her love for
her family makes her a domestic.
Her family affection does not make
her a domestic, the good lady says.
Her family affection does not make her
a specialists. What we need is spe
cialists. Man by specializing In their
business have made great strides.
Women, unspecialized, perform the
cleaning, cooking, sewing and manage,
purchase and do a thousand other
things—and remain at the lowest stage
of the scale of progress. i-*”»*-i-ur
and gsoonom !**»-**.? •
All of which sounds very nice. But
still we must admit we are woefully
puzzled about one thing. If all the
work is to be done by specialists, what
In tarnation are the ladles going to
do to keep themselves busy? And
wnat Is the use of having a home if
one is going to "board out” all the
time?
BIDDING FOR POLAND.
Weighing the proposals of the rival
alliances for their relief, the Poles will
he governed largely by their past
treatment under the partition.
They have fared best under Austria,
which will have little power over their
future. If between Prussia and Rus
I sta the former has become more hate
ful, It Is mainly because of her great
er efficiency in harshness.
Taking oath as king of Poland in
1S36, Alexander II. of Russia warned
the Poles: "No dreams, gentlemen.”
The revolt of 1861 led to the extinc
tion of the kingdom in 1863 and a more
rigorous rule. The kingdom is there
fore remembered by the older Poles,
who have forgotten how flimsy a thing
it was.
Taking the Polish lands of the old
Teutonic order, Prussia has trented
them with utter mcdlaevallsm The
Polish language, schools, laws and in
stitutions, all have come under her
ban. She has spent more than $100,
000,000 buying Polish lands at forced
ale to plant German colonists. Prince
, von Bullow In “Imperial Germany"
calls the eastern provinces the New
Germany, nnd speaks of the repres
sion as necessary.
Any plan for reuniting Poland will
neet the difficulty that the Poles are
much stronger in West Prussia than
in East Prusia; that Danzig is
their natural port, and that any Po
land delimited by race and speech will
leave many people of German speech
nnd race isolated about Korfigsberg,
SAXON NO LONGER.
Whatever else the European war
shall accomplish, it is to result in a
complete divorcement from English
customs ,and ideals, and even nomen- I
clature, of everything German, or. re
motely German.
Just now there is a demand In the
English press, for taking the hyphen
out of "Anglo-Saxon" and dropping
the latter name. "Anglo" Is thought
comprehensive enough without the
•Saxon,” considering the fact that
Saxon regiments are now in the
trenches, facing Britisli soldiers.
It is contended that the Saxon race
in the British isles has long ceased to
exist, nnd that the term is distateful
to a Scot, a Welshman or an Irishman.
These Celtic races, think several gen
tlemen of the press, have furnished the
enterprise, the imagination and Ideal
ism that built the British empire. If
there Isc to be any hyphen, the need of
which Is admittedly not pressing. It
should be used in the term “Anfcto
Celt.”
However, It Is not so important to
England what its blend shall be called
j as is the quality of its manhood. The
blend, under the national stress, is
acquitting itself creditably. Whatever
it may be termed, it is mveh tt e same
blend as we have here in the United
States, and the generic teim "Briton’
or “American” should be quite troad
enough and flexible enough to cover
either nationality.—1*. I
