Iand bu? und trolley car and various
otber foulis of semi-public occupa
tion. . But lt does jar sn American to
discover that little by little the wo
men of the Old World are being bur
dened with all the hardest, most ex
!isust!s<r and disagreeable tssk? of
BOclety which ever since the world
bogan to boast of itu civilization havo
been delegated to men.
In an earlier stage of social novel
opment, of course, the women per
formed most of ihe hard labor, in ad
dition to their own natural duties as
home-keepers and mothers . of thc
race. And now, as thc climax of
European culture, there is a rever
sion to the ancient barbarism-not in
frank recognition of its barbarity, but
under the guise of patriotism.
Women are tolling in the coal mines
und munitions factories of Great
Britain, digging subways In Berlin,
sweeping streets In Austria, plowing
In Fronco, lighting in the trenches1 In
iSorbla. And they arc doing it will
ingly and patiently, though with
heavy hearts and bodies breaking un
der the strain.
After this, what man wi!! ever
again have the "nerve" to inform
women that "their place is in tho
home." Tho Inevitable answer will
bo that women by filling every placo
where men have put them earned the
right to occupy any plo/:o they
choose. And the men of tho belli
gerent count rien, at least, who through
their blundering political and mili
tary systems have betrayed their wo
men Into Buch ; tragic suffering and
brutalizing til, should bo ashamed to
deny them anything they ask. Even
Germany can no longer maintain that
"church, kitchen and children" aro
the proper limits of women's world.
OUR BEBT BEFENSE
President Wilson said In his recent
speech in New York, outlining his
plan of army and navy, development:
"The chief thing, necessary in Amer
ica In order that she should let -all
tho.world know that she ls prepared
to maintain her own great position

for America first should, stand on the
right side, and those who are for
some other country flrs^shoulA,stand

parting of tho sheep and the goats."
It is a call for tho abolition of
hyphonism, tho peril that, has raised
Ito head in America for the first time.
It seewr the elimination not of any
particular hyphen, but of all hyphens.
The best spirit of America ls demand
ing that there shall bo no more pro
fessed ; German-Americans,,. Irish
Americans, Italian-Americans, Franco
Americans or any other ' kind of
qualified or adjectlved Americans.
Tho president has not morely 'voiced
bis personal desire, but expressed this
now national ideals. .
And nearly all Americans, native or
alien-bom, ?as slncorely repeat the
pr?35lu?r>t's assurance; "I do not
doubt thfei upon the first occasion,
upon the .first opportunity, upon the
first definite challenge, that voice (tho
roal voice ot the nation will speak
forth in tones which no man can
doubt and with commands which no
man dare gainsay or resist."
Theso words express not merely a
hope but an imperative .necessity. It

Petrograd, Oct. 31.-(Associated
Press Correspondence.)-Atter more
than a year's trial of the anti-liquor i
decree it appears that some Ameri
can prohibition history ls being ro
peate? in Russia. A memorial to tho
city council of Petrograd sets forth
that the union of drug clerks finds
the demand for eau de. cologne and
variety of. bitters has been growing
steadily.
It ia estimated that the 150 licensed
drug stores In the city have sold the j
equivalent of 216,000 gallons of pure
alcohol Blnco the anti-liquor edict
took effect at thc beginning of tho
war. While some of this is legitimate
drug business, it is asserted that tho
trade mainly consists of sales to per
son who uso thone alcoholic prepara
tions In beverages. Further, lt ls stat
ed, tho drupgglsts havo bewun tho
sale of surrogates for various trade
articles, such surrogates consisting or
alcohol that ha been allowed to stand
upon aromatic seeds, roota and leaves,
or ..iiioh baa been moro simply doc
tored *ip with aniline Ingredients,
The drug storo trado, in fact, seems to
bo carried on without any false pro
tenses as to the purposes for which
thone surrogates are offered for salo.
The memorial has been takon Into
consideration by the city council.
OT still greater proportion thaa tho
sale of the drug preparations mention
ed, has boen the use of denatured al
cohol as a beverage and the rectifi
cation pf denatured alcohol Into a
palatable, if not a wholesome substi
tute for vodka.
' Tho effort to render fuel alcohol re
pellent to the workingman's taste
doe? not seem to have succeeded.
Equally fruitless has been tho cam
paign of education undertaken by the
government and the press. The gov
ernment has finally been forced to
adopt restrictive measures. In view
of the te:.i j) er an ce program adopted
at the outbreak of the war, fuel al
cohol may now be sold only to per
sons having a Ucease from the police.
But naturally the pollco cannot bo
certain that a great deal of the dena
tured spirit that ls asked for to beat
business and domestic premises and
fov' prepare food ls , not later peddled
tor"beverage. ' The relative'scarcity
bf wood and coal has forced many
householders and merchants and man
ufacturers to Telly upon alcohol heat
ers for warmth', lt ls impossible to
deny tho requests of legitimate- pur
chasers and it ls difficult, to draw the
"ne between them and'"secret recti
fiers.
Nevertheless there is now?ln?om
parably less drunkenness In r^us3la
than there was before tho war. i
