SMALLEST DUTY OF WOMEN HAS BEARIN6QN WAR Mrs. Lamar Tells War Council How ' Sex May Be of Great Help. INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 14. The oart women may take in winning the present war is greater than in any preceding conflict in which this country has been engaged, Mrs. Joseph R. Lamar, ot Washington, member and special representative of the Women's Committee of the National Council of Defense, said here today at the women's sectional meeting of the Indiana War Conference. Every woman has the opportunity to do her part, she said. The sectional meeting before which Mrs. Lamar spoke was one of many which marked the close of the conference. Following mass meetings yesterday, various war agencies of the Ft ate held separate meetings to discuss subjects in which they are interested directly. After reviewing briefly some of the acts of war by Germany against this country Mrs. Lamar said: Food Vital Question "We are familiar with the role woman has played in former wars. We can do move than ever before. We can do other and additional war work. War has become a business in which the question of supplies of steel, copper, nitrates, leather, wool, cotton and labor, most of all, food, may be more vital than men and munitions. "Among these things are many that women buy, whose use women largely control things for which women often lavishly spend and often waste carelessly." Mrs. Lamar then called attention to the need to save. She continued: "In the use of this economic weapon, the manual of arms is econ-

TO HELP FAMILIES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. The Na-;

tional Colored Soldiers' Comfort committee announced today that an equitable portion of the $2,000,000 being raised for dependents of negro soldiers will be used for the relief of families of the thirteen infantrymen hanged at Ft Sam Houston, Tex., and the 41 given life sentences for participation in the Houston riot

omy and thrift. Not money saving only, and not hoarding. Nothing could be more unpatriotic than boarding. It is the economy of self denial. "Women's organizations . have hers such an opportunity as never was given. Centralization and co-operation have made Germany . strong, and lack of co-operation - has lost the allies Galllpoll, Belgium, the north of France, Serbia, Poland, Galicia, Rumania, while the same lack now menaces Russia and Italy." To Continue After War Referring to the work to increase food production and increase home economics Mrs. Lamar declared the work is to continue after the war, according to present plans. , Women were urged to release men for war duty by not demanding package delivery. Women also should prepare themselves to take the places left by men who go to war.

C'We get appeals from women asking ; for war work to do," Mrs. Lamar said. !

"They seem to feel that unless they fill a government position or are engaged in some striking, dramatic task, they are not busy about the war. There is scarcely a duty a woman may perform which will not help or hinder in this struggle. . "Turn out for a few minutes a jet

of gas or an electric light and you! save, say, one lump of coal. Suppose I every woman in the country did that)

name ming, now many tons 01 coal would they pour into the furnaces of our war Industries? "Each housekeeper could well study her table as a man studies his plant or factory, to produce highest efficiency with least waste."

Responses from the 345 chapters in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, to the Red Cross Christmas Membership Drive call have far and away exceded the expectations of , Lake Division Manager James R. Gar filed and William Ganson Rose, his drive director, according to advices received today at local chapter' headquarters from the Cleveland office. . "With the opening of the great nation-wide campaign for 15.000,000 Red Cross members by Christmas Eve, only a .week away," gays the word from Mr. Garfield, "such a strong spirit of. contest has arisne in the Lake Division states that the division quota . of 1,600,000 members ' seems much smaller than it did one week ago. "Strong state committees have been organized. These state committees are challenging each other for records as to which will have the largest percentage of their respective populaions enrolled when the drive closes. Neighboring counties are Issuing similar defls. Because of this siuation it has been definitely decided to issue certificates of honor and flags, to chapters rolling up bte best showings." '

Bodies of 7,000 Russians Taken From Rivers of Capital City

LONDON. Dec. 14. In a long review of the Russian situation the Petrograd correspondent of the Post says there is no prospect of a peaceful settlement and that henceforth, force must decide everything. The secret of the successes through-

the Siberian' troops are being reorganized under General Pleskoff one of the best known officers. , It is reported that ; the Siberians have declared In favor of a monarchy. The correspondent asserts that although the stories of the activities of

writes, is that they represent the iron, hand. What is behind them Is as yet undisclosed, hut among the Influential

members of their organization are men who were prominent in the seeret political police of the empire which once ruled Russia. These men, according to the correspondent, are introducing dissension everywhere. He continues: "Although floods of indignation are being poured out daily upon the Bolshevik!, it is beyond question that they are gaining ground in Russia, simply because they use a strong hand, which is the only thing the Russians in general appreciate. Their

methods mfght, horrify the west, but would be understood perfectly east of the Suez. .- 7,000 Taken From River "For example, in the last three weeks" there have been taken out of the rivers and canals of Petrograd 7,000 naked corpses of persons whose

! deaths were not caused by drowning, j The injuries which caused death tell I their own story. A suit ' of clothes i nowadays in Russia is worth more I than handiuls of paper money. The I corpses of the women even had the

hair cut off, because it represented marketable value." Referring to Siberia's declaration of independence the correspondent says

and order. He predicts that eventual'

ly the Russians will again present a front against the Germans, adding that nothing whatsoever within the range of human thought that appens In Russia need now occasion any surprise. "Among the highly Important facts" he continues, "Is the recovery of the Russian church of Its full independence and self government. It has again established the patriarchate and is preparing to take an important part in the present struggle." The Jews of Russia, he predicts, will have an important influence. The capture of Jerusalem by the British, he says, will be a weighty factor in

Plans for one of the strangest war vessels ever proposed have been submitted to the council of national defense. The craft is an enormous oceangoing water wheel that is intended to perform much the same service for the navy as the British and French tankB have for the allied armies.
