WOMEN WITHDRAWING
What appeared to be a problem
in the matter of replacing women
by returned soldiers, particularly
when the women did not seem to
wabt to relinquish positions thev
had secured due to men being
called to war. seems to have solved
itself in Utah, according to P. J.
Moran, federal director in Utah
for the United States Employment
service. Mr. Moran believes the
problem ceased to be such and that
the question is working out satis
factorily. His belief is based upon
a consultation of the records of
the Sal: Lake City employment
bureau.
According to Mr. Moran, re
quests from employers for women
workers have been decreasing with
remarkable rapidity, while requests
by women for various positions also
have decreased. The entrance of
thousands of women into different
lines of labor that they never be
fore attempted has not created the
problem it was thought the coun
try would face when the men be
gan to return—at least this applies
to Utah, Mr. Moran says
In one week in January. Mr.
Maran’s figures how go employers
asked for 14& women for different
kinds of work. One month later,
during the week ending February
22, only 63 women were sought at
the local employment bureau. Dur
ing the week in January 137 women
applied for work, while in the Feb
ruary week only 112 sought posi
tions.
Mr. Moran does not know wheth
er marriage has had anything to
do with the situation, or whether
it is self sacrifice on the part of
the women, but he says the women
are gradually withdrawing from
the jobs they held during the
period of the war and do not seem
anxious to return to any kind of
work.
TURKS UNTAMED
The Turks are by no means con
vinced that they are vanquished,
and show few signs of regret that
they were ever the Alies of the
Central Powers, according to s
French correspondent who has re
turned from Constantinople to Lon
don. The correspondent attribute:
this failure on the part of the Turk:
to realize their actual situation tc
the fact that the British and Frenel
commanders in the Turkish capita
have not acted like conquerors am
imposed their authority on th<
Turks.
The correspondent declares tha
he was > unable to convince thi
leading Turks of the complete vie
tory of the Allies and of the de
finite crushing of the German mill
tary power, end adds that this i
due to the fact that the Alliei
troops did not enter Stamboul witl
flags flying, because the Allied offi
cers did not install themselves a
mffsters in the different mir.isteries
and because the military' author!
ties did not take over all the ad
ministrative offices and police th<
city.
The Committee of Union am
Progress no longer exists, legally
says the Frenchman, but its creat
ures still occupy their posts in tb<
ministries and in the police service
“They are very active and offe:
us a very bitter and systematii
opposition,” he continued. “Thi
frequently takes the form of spread
ing rumors of disagreement be
tween France and England on the
subject of the future of Turkey
They assert that it would be to the
advantage of England and France
to placate Turkey and to leave
Constantinople as the Turkish capi
. tal.
“On one of the Princes Islands
—Prinkipo—the German Marsha!
Von Sanders Liman Pascha. is com
fortably lodged and receives the
adherents of the old regime and,
between dessert and cheese they
| openly plot against us without fear
, of disturbance.
"The Germans who knew the
Turks treated them as they should
be treated, with brutal force, and
that is the only attitude which
can be adopted towards them. We
should bring home to them the
realization that the Allies are in
reality the conquerors. We must
act with energy and firmness, if we
desire to retain our predominate
influence in Turkey.”

ITALIAN SACRIFICE
An American Methodist commis
sion has recently returned to Rome
after an extensive trip throughout
Italy to study social and economic
conditions so that American Meth
odists may know how best to aid
Italy in her great task of recon
struction. The commission consists
'of Dr. Frank Mason North, of New
York; Theodore S. Henderson of
Detroit; Bishop William F. Ander
son of Cincinnati and Dr. B. M.
Tippel. of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
“Our journey through the re
deemed regions was a sad revela
tion to us,' said Dr. Tipple. “We
have passed throu|-h hundreds of
' devastated cities and villages of
the northern provinces. City after
city, village after village is utterly
and completely wrecked. Tens of
thousands of homes have been en
tirely destroyed. Even where a
house is left standing nothing re
mains but the bare walls md all
the furniture has been removed.
“Here and there we passed group*
of returning refugees. 1 hey looked
cold and forlorn yet did not com
"plain. Until we saw it with oui
own eyes we did not begin to ap
preciate the magnitude of the diffi
culties which Italy has overcome
tile enormous sacrifices she mad<
to win the war in the Alps.”

Girsa, “i stbe suppression of Bol

DITCHER IS SENT i
ACROSS THE RIVER
10 MCH LINE
The new American ditcher, whi r,
had been in use in tne salvaging
■ c derations on the abandoned line,
was sent across thf river on the ice
under her own power yesterday
afternoon. She will be used during
the coming summer in the various
uses to which she could readi'y
be converted, in building the Ne
nana-Fairbanks branch line.
The big mach-ne, wiiict weighs
about forty tons, was loaded on a
flat car and take n co the foot of
A street. Here the machine steam
%
: ed off the car on a specially pre
pared sloping track and proceeded
to cross on the ice, laying her own
track as she went along.
The men who were tending the
big machine stated that the river
ice was heard to crack as her great
weight was brought to boar on it,
1 but she made the crossing safely,
'however, and came to rest on the
farther shore last night, 'he jour
ney to the beginning of grade on
the Xenana-Fairbanks line was be
gun this morning from where the
machine landed, opposite town from
A street.
The American ditcher is one of
the most useful pieces of machinery
in the sen-ice of the Alaskan En
gineering commission. It can be
readily converted, in a very short
space of time, from a ditcher into
a piledriver or steam shovel when
ever required for use as such. |
Before sending the machine
across the river yesterday, the ice
was very carefully- tested. The ice
on either shore, near the banks 1
was found to be three feet thick, i
while in the middle of the river,
where the channel is, it was four
feet thick, and sufficiently strong
to carry- a greater weight than that
of the ditcher.

^ FROM OUTSIDE
\ LADIV OSTOCK. — Dr. Vaclav :
Girsa, local member of the Czech ’
; National Council, has faith in the j
ability of the Russians to recon
struct an army, provided a stable1
government can be established in j
Russia- At the moment, he ad
mits, eevrything is against such an
effort. The soldiers are not prop
erly fed, nor clothed, nor paid. They
are kept in barracks with nothing
to occupy them. They seme one
government today- and perhaps an
other tomorrow, and that demoral-j
izes them.
