,UE OF GIRLS -
I [
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8—“More than
a million and a half men are concen
trated in about eighty military train
ing camps of this country. The prob
lem created by the presence of young
girls in the neighborhood of these
camps is one which mus' 1 a square
ly faced by the American people, just
as it has been faced by the people of
other countries in war time. The'
‘lure of the uniform’ is more than a
phrase; it is an actuality. Girls often
lose their heads by these unusual con
ditions—and therein lies the prob
lem.”
This is the opening statement of a
pamphlet issued by the committee on
i protective work for girls of the war
department commission on training
; camp activities outlining its aims and
telling of the work being done by lo-.
cal agencies.
The committee reports the organiza
tion of woman patrols in some com
munities to do voluntary work near*the
cantonments. These volunteer patrols,'
do not have police power but carry,
with them cards signed by the chief
of police or sheriff asking that offi-|
cers aid them in every way possible.!
“Scouting and patrol work is nec
essary,’’ says the committee. “Protec
tive officers must be on the streets
and in the vicinity of the camps toi
observe what is going on. Many of
the girls found loitering near the
camps are taken to their homes and
their mothers interviewed. If special
travelers’ aid workers are not provid
ed, the railroad stations, the docks
and street car terminals are visited.
Help is also being given in locating
missing girls and making investiga
tions concerning them. These offi
cers visit the amusement parks near
the city, the moving picture theaters,
dance halls, parks, etc., to see that
city ordinances are enforced, and to
discover young girls who are in need
of help. Protective officers also aid
in the enforcement of laws in cases
where young girls are complainants. ■
“Many cities already have dfilin
ances for the control of moving pic-'
ture houses, amusement pstok.3 and
dance halls. If not already t.i* «umvV
ordinances should be passed and en
forced, requiring that girls under six-1
teen years of age be accompanied by
■parents or guardians at moving pic
ture theaters; to provide for some
censorship of films and to regulate
the dance halls. In some communi
ties it is necessary to urge better
lighting of parks and streets, greater!
control of jitneys and automobiles, andl
additional policing in the country. It
may also be necessary to secure or-j
dinances or laws for an official house
of detention and for better methods of
dealing with girls and women in the
courts. If there is not legal provision
for probation and commitment to an
institution without the alternative of;
a fine, effort should be made to se
cure this.”
The woman patrols wherever or
ganized, it is stated, are under a girls’;
protective bureau supervised either
by the police department or a volun
tary committee. The bureau staff
usually includes a director and at least
two protective officers, all of whom
are women. Wherever it is possible,
these women workers are employed
by the police department and are un-!
der its jurisdiction. Where it is im
possible to secure salaries for them
from the city or county, it is stated.!
a voluntary committee or organization
assumes responsibilities for their pay
and the request is made that the wo
men be given police power in the city 1
and the power of deputy sheriff in the
county.

DEFEAT bERMANY NOW
AND NOT AT OUR DOORS.
(By Herbert Quick, United States
Farm Loan Commissioner)
Where should we go to trial in a
case in which our most sacred inter
ests are at stake? In one place only.
We should appear in the court where
the great issue is on trial.
The welfare of the whole world is
on trial in France today. Germany
has set out to make herself mistress
of the world, just as Napoleon did in
his day. Germany must be fought
where there is a chance of defeating
her, just as Napoleon had to be fought
la hundred years ago. When the na
tions gathered at Leipsic to give him
his first defeat, that was the proper
place to fight Napoleon. When they
came together again to give him his
final overthrow at Waterloo, that was
the exact place to meet the great Cor
sican.
It was a home fight for every nation
arrayed in arms against him. If any
one of them had said, "We will wait
until Napoleon comes to our gates or
our shores; when he comes we will
fight him; until then It is not out
fight,” that nation would have been
contributing to the enslavement of the
world by Napoleon, and sooner or later
he would have appeared at their gates,
and not even the gates of hell could
have prevailed against him.
Germany must be fought where her
armies are found.
She must not win a foot of territory
in this war.
If she does she will be able to point
to the war as a victory, and the Ger
man people will believe her.
After the war there is only one hope
for the future of the world. That hope
lies in the German people. In a de
feated Germany the people will sooner
or later unseat the Hohenzollerns and
the Junkers and take from the hands
ol' that insufferable crew of egomaniacs
and murderers the sword with which'
they threaten the whole world. A vic
torious Hohenzollern dynasty will hold
the German people in the thraldom of
the triumphs they will claim to have
won The German people are sleep
walkers ravaging the world under the
hypnotic suggestion of the mightiest
mesmerist that ever made subject the
human mind. They are mad with mob
psychology—homicidal mania. The
French under Napoleon needed defeat,
and received it. Otherwise they would
have blighted the whole earth. The
Germans need defeat, and they must
get it, otherwise they will press down
on the brow of humanity a crown of
Attila the Hun.
Germany must be defeated now in
France, and not after she appears at
our doors swollen with the pride of
victory and with our present allies
flogged into her ranks as allies.
The great cause is on trial now. At
any other time it will be too late.
The place is France. Germany is reel
ing down to defeat. If we add the
might of our blows to those of our
allies she will fall. Unless she falls
we meet her next, and we may have
to meet her alone.
The man who argues that we should
await her coming to our shores to
attack us has not thought about it, or,
if he has thought about it, he either is
a fool or he wishes Germany to win.
Let us cease listening to the unthink
ing, to fools and to traitors. Let us
fight this out in France alongside our
allies.
ITH WOMEN DISCUSS
PRESENT SHIRS OF SEX
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9—The Nation
al Convention of Women, which met
recently in Rome, Italy, took up many
of the questions concerning women in
industry which are interesting such
committees in America at tile present
time. A recent issue of the "Bolletine
dell ’Ufficcio del lavora" gives the fol
lowing report of the three days’ con
vention :
"The subjects treated were the fol
lowing: Inquiry into paternity; aboli
tion of marital authorization and the
right to practice all the liberal pro
fessions and to enter upon all public
offices; participation in religious
works; woman suffrage; inquiry in
the field of social legislation in favor
of working women. On the latter ques
tion the following order of the day was
approved as a first stop.
"The congress recognizing the fact
that almost wherever woman has been
called upon to take the place of man
in industries, she has accepted a lower
rate of compensation and that she
has thereby injured her dignity as a
human being and has neglected her
duty of solidarity towards her coin
panion in labor, lowering the value of
man’s work and creating a state of un
employment; recognizing that “sweat
ing” the woman is furthermore an in
justice to herself and a social injury
because the inadequate compensation
does not allow her to recover lost
energy to the detriment of the future
mother; recognizing that for the rea
sons mentioned above such questions
are less feminist than they are clearly
humanitarian, the members of the con
gress pledged it to an active propagan
da to secure for women equal salary
or equal compensation for equal work.
"Furthermore, it was brought out
that in recent tests the women have
proved themselves superior to the men
in certain special fields of labor, a
fact that must be taken into considera
tion also for industrial conditions after
the war; and the right of women to,
co-operate in formulating labor laws
was insisted upon.
“Next the necessity was pointed out
for creating woman inspectors and in
spectorships immediately even for
other than war industries. Emphasis
was laid on the unhappy state of dom
estic servants and it was explicity re
quested that it should be understood
that they also should be Included In
the expression "working women." The
congress further took Into consider*
tlon the harm done In families by the
removal of the woman, and the nec
esslty on the part of the state to solve
the problem of working at home and
to try to decide the recompense they
could offer to the women—to her ad
vantage or her return home.
In recognition of the participation i
of women in the consulting bodies of
the state the vote was approved that
‘in the composition of the royal com
missions for the study of conditions
after the war, an erjual share be grant
ed to women.'
"In regard to the establishment of
school loans the following order of
the day was approved: 'While we re
gret the lack of foresight In the labor
^WBWWi»
ing classes It would be advisable to
establish, with the idea of making
obligatory, the institution of school
loans at least for those pupils whom
the teachers meet frequently, and so
Lo inculcate in the children the idea of
thrift and of saving, which if prac
tised on a small scale in youth grows
later into a habit already formed when
utilized in adult life.’ ”
