NEW COALITION IN GERMANY POSSIBLE

Former South Bend Y. W. C. A, Worker Takes Great Part in Work Overseas

Majority Socialists in Combination Wtih Democrats Likely to Rule.

Bj rnkd rrem: IiONDO.V, Jan. 23. (British Admiralty Wireless) Official returns of the German elections are not yet published, but enough is known to place the general result beyond doubt. For the allied powera tho one Interest of the elections la that there shall emerge from them a Iarty capable of forming a strong Kovernment. which can bind the German people. Everything points to formation of a etrong combination between the majoritv socialists and the democrats, with whatever recruits they may attract from other groups. The London Times and the Westminster Cazette, which are representative of opinion in both the 4Kreat parti- in England, express almost identical views on the position. They declare that -It is in the plain interest of the allies and of Germany, too, that no door should be left open for any possibility of quibbling hereafter upon the authority of the national assembly, which is to sanction peace, or of the German fcignatures to the armistice. "What is the peremptory reason why the allies and America should hasten to recognize the state of things which the German lesions have created? Chances made by the revolutionary government in German finances have been far more sweeping. They are in accordance with the principles of democracy, and the governments must look upon them as far-reaching popular reforms. We want a binding and lasting peace and it is to our interest to further it by giving the fullest possible recognition to the new party in Germany at the earliest moment."

I which the French women will need

in these confusing transitional days. of course the original mission of our women was to serve their French sisters who were war workers in their own country. These women had been herded together in grim barracks, where life was mere existence. France had done for them the best she could her burdens were unspeakable. To provide them with shelter and food and pay was the utmost the nation could do. The French Y. W. C. A. was willing, but totally inexperienced and not well organized, for this association is only 10 or 12 years old and has been unfamiliar with any sort of industrial or recreational work. Fo the big American sister was called upon. Tho response was immediate. Trained workers were sent to the distraught women of France. Foyers were established in the munitions towns. And the work of; American women for French women became a very real thing. The need for this work has not ceased with the ceasing of the war, for the reconstruction problem in France is much graver than it is here. We, with a comparatively few brave and sad exceptions, are expecting our men to return. Out of our 4,00 0,000 in arms we lost approximately 58,000. while the losses of poor little France have mounted to about 1,710,300. Thus in seemingly countless cases there will be no men to came back over there in France. You can readily see how this condition raises both the industrial and recreational problem for the Y. W. C. A. workers. Called to ImKrtant Work. Among the many Americans who were chosen for this splendid work was a Detroit woman. Miss Vesta M. little. For five years she had been physical director of the local Y. W. C. A. and had acquitted herself without outstanding eiliciency. It was

known only sorrow, bitterness ani hardships. Such girls suddenly released from the horror of it all in a new and strangely unfamiliar industrial world, such Kirls with no homes or families to go back to are the care of the American Y. W. C. A. now. How truly they need the care is ic.idily understandable. Iollsht to Work with JVenoh. The French women and pirls arc delightful to work with. They are so

rotsponsive, so gracious, so full of en

thusiasm. As one worker says, "They truly inspire one to put forth her best efforts for them." And thus a real bond of sympathy has grown up between these women of nations on opposite Fides of the sea. There seems to be a similar enthusiasm and zest for life in their temperaments and just enough difference of manner to make each enjoy the other. The French will of course eventually take over the American Y. W. C. A. orpanizations and operate them themselves on the linos which our workers have mapped out. Rut France has an unlimited number of reconstruction problems on its hands at present and the Y. W. C. A. is not going to burden her with more until she Is perfectly able to handle more. So the work goes on for the present with the American sisters at the helm, while the bright French eyes smile their friendly inspiration and encouragement.

MTSS VKSTA LITTIJ:. typical of Miss Little that she should determine to go to New York in 1917 in order to make herself more proficient by taking a summer course in Y. W. C. A. work. At that time sho had not thought of foreign fields, but was simply aiming to make herself more lit to serve her own Detroit girls. Her work, however, was watched ly many observant eyes and very soon tho call came. Would she go to France? Thus it came about that Miss Little sailed in May. 191 S. Sh bad intended to stay just six months, but when she saw how great the need was she signed up for another hrxlf year. Miss Little went first to Taris. From there she was assigned to a permanent location at St. Etienne. St. Ketienne is a French industrial town. Groat munition plants were located there. Girls from everywhere worked in these plants. Many of the pirls were refugees from invaded France, where they had seen things horrible enough to craze them forever. At St. Htienne. as in many other French cities, a foyer was constructed out of bare boards and a great park turned over to the use of tho American Y. W. C. A. The appearance of the interior of the foyer was soon rendered homelike by the clever young women workers. There were tables where the girls could write to their soldier sweethearts and husbands, there were cozy corners where they could snuggle down with magazine or book after the days work. And for those who wanted to use them there were sewing machines and ironing boardsPresently evening classes were established, in which the girls studied English. Amateur theatricals were worked up; entertainers and lecturers from I'aris came down. Thus out of the desolation came a little order and a little flight. The Americans also taught the French the use of their own great outdoors. The girls were led to the park on summer evenings. Hero thev would build tires and make cof

fee to drink with the luncheons that! thev brought with them. So under;

the ancient French poplar trees they learned to enjoy a real American picnic. Tho vounger eirls were taught

games, for French girls never have J played. They know no games, but are delighted with them, once they j learn the way of them. Then they j were taught folk dances, too, which; they executed with charming grace, j The Story of Maria. j What this recreation and home life' means to girls fresh from lands of suffering and agony is almost beyond comprehension unless you are ( acquainted with a little bit of their personal history. For instance,, there is Maria, who lived through j the storming of Lillo. of whom one; worker tells in her report: I "Before the war Maria was aj happy little housemaid in the town of Lille. She lived with her parenty and was frugally saving for her dot. , Already her linen chest was piled J hUh. ! "When Lille was bombarded Maria's first thought was to get hcrj aged mother to tafety- Regardless.

of the falling shrapnel sne nurriea home across the town. "Just outside her door she met a neighbor's little girl screaming with . . . , V,

terror. Trying 10 comion nt?r. i took the child by the arm. The childcreamed again and Maria found herself holding only to an arm. The child had heen hit by a falling shell i and her arm literally torn off. "When Maria climbed the stairs' she called to her mother. There wa , no answer. And there across the bed , she found her, killed by a shell' which had crashed through the roof, j "A few days later Maria heard

that her father hrd been killed In action. After living through the German occupation he was sent back, a physical wreck." Such is the typical story of a French girl munitions worker which the Y. W. C. A. secretaries at the "Foyers des Allies" as the Y. W. C. A. club houses In France are called, frequently har. For the four years el the war great numbers rave
