Republican talk about "preparedness" always leaves out the fact that preparedness has been advocated for more than a dozen years by President of the United States. Theodore Roosevelt has always been an enthusiastic advocate of universal military training in lime of peace, and he did his utmost to get Republican Congresses to adopt his ideas. It is of interest to note what success was attained by him and by his Republican successor, Mr. Taft, as compared with what President Wilson succeeded in getting done during his first term, before we got into war. It should be borne in mind, however, that during all of these twelve years the country was confronted by the impossibility of getting men to join the regular army, for the reason that a soldier's pay was only $15 a month; and Americans will not rjerform military service in time of peace for that cora-

Italians, Armenians, Russians, Lithuanians, Polish, who, when the draft called their men folk to the American colors, asked in helpless confusion wimt it was all about When would

their men be back? What did people

' mean when they told them they would i receive money through the mail?

Where could they find work that they knew how to do? Was there no one who could explain It all to them in their own language? The Y. W. C. A. was ready to offer assistance, but it would be of no value to offer it in English. Consequently it had to supply a corps of women who could talk to the foreign-born woman at her own door In the language that she was used to hearing in the homeland; To teach her English was as essential a factor in her Americanization as to find her a job. Therefore the war council of the Y. W. C. A. set out to find her. English. A year before tire war began in Europe, the leaders of the Young Woman's Christian association foresaw just such a situation, and made ready to meet it. They studied the needs of the immigrant. They trained skilled American social workers to become fa

miliar with the home habits and to i speak the language of the Lett and the

Hungarian and the Greek and the other foreign mothers who brought ba

bies and bundles over from Ellis island

to Battery park. The organization into which this experiment has developed was named by the Y. W. C. A. national board, "The International Institute for Young Women." In terms which these women can understand, it is teaching the foreign-born how to sew and cook and care for the baby. To girls like Italian Lucia, who con-
