SEEK WOMEN IN STATE TO SPEAK ON WAR SUBJECTS

Seek to Extend Organization of "Fourteen Minute Wom

en" in Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 21. A bugle call for women volunteers who can and will. speak on the various phases

of war work, has been sounded by Mrs. Anne Studebaker Carlisle, Chairman of the woman's section of the State Council of Defense. Mrs. Car lisle's purpose is to extend the organization df "Fourteen Minute Women" to every part of Indiana. Insofar as possible, the demand for speakers on matters of special interest to women win be supplied by the most conveniently available member of the organization. The original" Fourteen Minute Women" organization in Indiana, is in Marion county. It was organized by and has been under the supervision of Mrs Julia C. Henderson, of Indianapolis, and is operated largely as an adjunct of the Food . Conservation movement. In this it has been found so effective that it was deemed advisable to enlarge and expand it. Mrs. Henderson has consented to represent Mrs. Carlisle's executive committee in the direction of a spec

ial Bureau of "Fourteen Minute Women" speakers. Every woman who can spare the time is requested to Join in this patriotic work, by the Indiana State Council of Defense, which has indorsed and is supporting Mrs. CarHale in the movement. Urge Appointments. The "Fourteen Minute Women" will be trained to speak on the activities expected from the women in general as an aid In successfully prosecuting the war. with a special emphasis on

the conservation of food. Material for use in the preeparation of appropriate speeches will be supplied through Mrs. Henderson's bureau, as It is requested. Mrs. Carlisle has just received a letter from Mrs. Joseph R. Lamar, in which Mrs. Lamar compliments very highly the "splendid spirit and enthusiasm displayed by the Woman's Section of tho Indiana State Council of Defense." Mrs. Lamar, representing the Woman's Section in the National Defense, came from Washington recently and addressed the Woman's Section of the laJImiii Clots Pminrtl rt rf.fTIS rllir-

ing the Indiana Statewide war conference. ' I Mrs. Carlisle requests the Chairman i of eevery county council of defense in Indiana, to appoint as soon as pos-' Eible, some woman "of education, ability and eagerness for service to represent the Department of Education ( and to carry out the educational propagandt in her community." Her ' name and address should be sent at , once to Mrs. Carlisle, Room 83, State

House, Indianapolis, Ind.

Engine And Society Girl!, Uncle Sam : Makes 'Em Work Together on His Road

Above Engine made for Russia but gabbed by U. S. A. and

photo of one bearing the new name of the line. .Below Miss Frances H. Brady, Washington society girl on Director McAdoo'a staff.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. When Uncle Sam grabbed the railroads of the country and decided to operate them himself through the medium of his trusty director general, McAdoo, he formed a "grab" habit which has stayed by him and served him well. He found that the Baldwin locomotive shops had a number of big en-

Sines waiting to be exported to Russia. Uncertainty of the Russian situation was holding them up, although they were ready for service. And Uncle Sam was needing engines badly to move freight. So he seized the engines made them part of the U. S. A. railroad equipment, painted his "U. S. A." on their tenders and sent them forth in New Jersey to haul coal trains and relieve the congestion which was rendering these cities coalless. They are not exactly an American type of loco-

oaiahad," the state aa "beyond right

ana wrong." Then the appeal to an "unwritten law" would find them glorying in their country's shame.

Away with honor! Away, with chiv

alry ana numanity and civilization itself! Forward "mit Gott" into hells undreamed of! Such was the game. It worked. On the German side, this is not a war. It is not a jehad in any sense hitherto known. . It is an affair of mediaeval fanaticism brought tbout and directed by cool headed twentieth century leaders, who contrived to poison the minds as scientifically as they know how to poison. wells. "Immune groups." these yes, even today. So read once more Dr. Jastrow's hopeful remark that "while people lose sanity rapidly and collectively with the acceleration of a spreading contagion, the loss is tem

porary; wiule they recover individually and slowly through the stability of

Immune groups, they do recover." Hans

will, and Fritz and Otto. Convalescence will begin the moment Germany's leaders see Pan-Germany fall apart and

learn that, however sanely conceived.

it was what Stevenson would have termed, frivolously, "a good idea, but failed to please."

It is President Wilson's desire to pull

Pan-Germany apart, though, with dip

lomatic shrewdness, he veils his Intention in language a trifle inexplicit. He would encourage sundry nationalist tendencies within Austria-Hungary, so he tells us, and apparently more than one reader has missed the overwhelming significance of what passes for a

more or less academic ambition. Just

between friends, what on earth do we care about nationalistic tendencies within Austria-Hungary? We ought to

care everything. Those tendencies

mean the pasing of mania. Teutonica.

See if this is not so.

Given a coterie of independent states stretching clean across Pan-Germany

somewhere near its middle, given also

a reconstituted and expanded Serbia, and behold, the present solid empire of Wilhelm II. drops apart! Cheradame believes that the war might be ended fairly promptly by an uprising of just those oppressed nationalities. Well, perhaps. At all events, their liberations will end Pan-Germany. By ending Pan-Germany it will forever silence the Pan-Germanists who made the war. Through them will come Hans' return to sanity, and Fritz's likwise, and Otto's. For no one will any longer Inoculate them with mania Teutonica. Quite the contrary! Some day another Hecker will fill

his long pipe, refill his stein, and begin writing "The Mental Epidemic ot the' Twentieth Century." Sad reading it will make, all but the last chapter. There who can doubt? will appear the story of how America, though greviously wronged, took up arms without hate, spurned temptations to pause

ere her task was finished, and, after infinite toll and sacrifice and pain, brought back the German people out of the darkness and the night. It may even come to pass that the volume will conclude with a line from the superb German choral, "Now thank we all our God!"

This Run-Down Man Vinol And He Got Back His Strength and Energy Sheboygan, Wis. "I was all 'fagged out,' run down, no appetite, nervous, sleepless nights and drowsy during the day, and was net fit to work. A friend told me to take Vinol. I did so, and can now eat three square meals a day. I sleep well, am alert, active, strong and well and have gained eleven pounds." A. W. "Higby, Sheboygan, Wis. This is because Vinol contains the elements needed to create a healthy appetite and restore strength. The complete formula is printed on every package. This is your protection. Clem Thistlethwaite.

cently.oeen turned out of an exclusive finishing school in the east. She had

entered the governmeent service last

August as a means of doing her bit to help win the war. Uncle Sam came along and saw her at work. She had developed unusual capabilities but had never dreamed of anything so prosaic as working in a railroad office. But the dream she hadn't had came true. She was taken and put to work onMcAdoo's staff. She is the first and only woman on the staff of the direec-tor-general and she is on the job from 9 in the morning until almost any hour at night.

Says Gas Masks Sent Our Troops Are Useless PROVIDENCE, R. I., Jan. 21.The Providence Journal -said Saturday morning: . "Additional evidence of shocking incompetence in the purchase of supplies for the War Department has just come to light. Over 200,000 gas masks manufactured in this country for the use of our troops abroad have been sent back to the United States by American army officers in France as being absolutely worthless for the purpose for which they were intended. Every gas mask now being used by our troops on the Western front has been borrowed from either the British or French War Department. "It is understood that the masks which have been sent back are being used in various cantonments in this country for training purposes. The masks were ordered by the War Department with the full knowledge of the latest developments in German, French and British masks, samples of which were in the hands of the department when the order was accepted and the finished product passed as satisfactory."

HOW MANIA

Continued From Page One. ising the domination of the world. Sane? It is all well enough, for the fune of it, to call everybody a bit cracked "except thee and me," but here remains, nevertheless, a test of sanity namely, Will the game work? and no game of colossal dimensions ever worked more successfully than

this. Nor was any game ever begun ! more sanely. If madness akin to "the j mental epidemics of the middle ages" marked the fervor with which Hans and Fritz and Otto rushed to arms when "the day" arrived, Germany's leaders chose the day with the calmest

imaginable deliberations and for

reasons.

Three untoward developments had

threatened to break the back of the

proposed Pan-Germany. Turkey (pro-j German) had met defeat at the hands f of the Balkan peoples and the Italians, i A Balkan alliance (anti-German) had

been proclaimed at Bucharest. Within

Austria-Hungary a federation of Latins and Slavs (anti-German) had begun fin alarming, albeit tentative, career.

Hence Germany's resolve to set the j world ablaze. During the conflagration she would demolish the obstacles

across her path, reduce Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey to vassalage, annex Serbia, and accomplish pre

cisely the result aimed at. Only one

I detail of her preparedness was lacking j i the Kiel canal. Directly upon com

pletion of the Kiel canal, Germany,' ftrucg. Andre Cheradame ha3 ju?t brought ; out a tremendous little book, "The United States and Pangermania," In ! which the whole monstrous plot against freedom and decency is made1 clear. But how were Germany's mas-. ters to make it clear to Hans and Fritz and Otto? They have not tried. It

would have been idiotic to try. Fancy Hans leading Frau and Kinder for that! Fancy Fritz going over the top for that, and impaling himself on a French bayonet and dying? Fancy Otto dropping bombs on hospitals for that, or shooting Edith Cavell, or desecrating churches, or slaughtering in-1 fants, or launching a torpedo to de-l stroy the Lusitania? Impossible, i However, it was possible, and on the j whole easy, to infect Hans and Fritz t

and Otto with mania Teutonica by pic- j

turing foreign nations as "blaggards," Germany as a heaven-anointed "Sir
