WOMEN TAKE PLAGES
OF MEN IN ENGLAND
Government Urges Their Substi
tution Where Men Are Avail
able for Army.
London, Miay 7.?All departmektt?
of the British government service are
officially thrown open to women for
the first time in n circular issued by
the cabinet through the board
trade. The circular urges all gov
ernment departments to replace,
wherever possible, men employes mi
military age with women, and offers
to obtain suitable women substitutes
for various clerical ami other posi
tions, through the government labor
exchanges.
The circular follows up a recenl
War office statement appealing for the
release of more government employes
for the front. In this statement Lord
Kitchener was quoted: "I confidently
look to the heads of departments 10
arrange by filming suitable substi
tutes, for the necessary permission to
be given freely to their subordinates
who are prepared to joint the col
ors."
The board of trade's circular points
out that "a large number of women
clerks have registered at the lah .
exchangjs, and considerable num*
bars of these have already been en
grged by certain government dephrt-.
tnenta. In addition, a special register
Is being compiled of women who have
signified their willingness to under
take service during the continuance
of the war, to release men for com
batant duties. This register already
contains 30,000 naines, and will sup
ply a large number of women quali
fied to take the place of officials who
may be released."
The board of trade has itself re
leased over 1.000 officials for the
army, and In a large number of cases
their places have been taken by wo
men.
It remains to be seen what reply
will be made by the heads of the
various government departments to
the board of trade's circular. Many
of these depa. "merits have hitherto
drawn a lino very rigidly against
any women employes. All of them
will now make a careful survey of
their work and ascertain to what ex
tent men of recruiting age can be re
placed with women.
It haa been /or years the aim of
various women's organizations to ob
tain from the government an equal
opportunity Tor both sexes In the gov
ernment employ. The board of trade
circular is regarded as an official de
claration that for the y>rIod of the
war at least, the barrier of sex nul
have no sanction from the cabinet.

London, May ^. A sinking picture
of tin- condition of affairs in Belgium :
Is given by an article in the Berlin
VorwuertH, protesting uKainl too op- :
timislic views In the German press ot I
the Belgian political anil ?conomie
situation. Tin extracts of the arti
cle as published in Ixindon ure: f
"The attempt to apply tin- slogan :
'Business us usual' to the pi'oKonl ,
?t?te m' things in Belgium Ih du?' in ;
pan to tin- inability of the newspa
pers to make the nocessary Investi
gations there. We are told that the
boulevards of Brussels an crowd'Ml
and that great numbers, of people '
occupy the ( hairs iiifgrotit of tit** <
cafes; therefor*, we deduce that bo
ciul life Is*going tin as usual through
oui the country.
"Hut we ran correct such a judg
ment promptly from the Hgures 01
the public relief institutions. 1-Hr an
appreciation of tin real economic sit
uation in Brussels and of the psy
chological situation of the ptopli
there, a knowledge of public relief i>'
more important than the uppeurancc
of the boulevards
"it is undeniable thut in Kr?ssels
the number of burghers forced t>
fetch their food from one ul the re
lief centers is growing. In Septem
ber the ligures were 16.2 per cent,;
on April I they were 28 per cent, of
the population.
"Another point of Importance is the
Increasing dearness of tilings.
"It Is an exaggerated view to take
that normal conditions nr? returning
to a city where 210,000 people aie fed
daily by charity. For this purpose
over 113,000 a day is required, and
this does not provide for the distri
bution of clothing, .relief of unem
ployed, ami t are of children. Private
charity is almost exhausted, ami vol
untary collections produce less ami
less.
"In the Beigen, provinces the sit
uation is about jhe sutpe. The tier
man authorities are willing to im
prove these conditions, hut there are
many difficulties. Hallway 'ariffs are
constantly altering, so that business
people are unable to regulate their
traflie in the light of knowledge of
the cost of transportation. Public
telephone communication is not al
lowed. Business letters are subject
to delay and rigid censorship. Tele
grams frequently take three days for
delivery.
"Another difficulty is the uncer
tainty into which industry is thrown
by the constant requisition of ma
chinery. The possibility of such ro
tiulsltloning by the military authori
ties does not encourage the setting
up of new machines or the malntain
ence of old ones. The revival of Bel
gian industry of which many of our
newspapers speak amounts to this:
a number of businesses are working
two or three days a week.
"These facts should be a warning
against exaggerated optimism as to
ameliorations in affairs in Belgium.
In neutral, count ries such tulk can
only bav? an unfortunate effect.
"The greatest organizing genius
would not be able to restore the
crushed industries to this most'
troubled of all countries by a wave
of the hand, or raise again the cour
age of a people who are as deeply
attached as Germans themselves to
their political Independence."
