PUTTING THE GIRLS IN THEIR _ PLACES They are having strenuous times in England demobilizing their 1,000,- 000 or so female munition workers, and all because the girls who have been working for from $18 to $20 a week in the factories do not take, kindly to the suggestion that they re- turn to their old positions as domes- tic servants at $3 or $3.50 per week. They do not like the prospect even tho their government reminds them that times are trying, and urges them to show the same noble spirit of sac- rifico now that they did in war time. It is very true that wherever the problem of large the labor situation is extremely difficult, and every ono will have to! do his share of sacrificing. But for any government or private ipdividual to urge that any girl work as a do-- demobilization looms mestic servant at a wage of $3 or $3.50 a week is all wrong. That is not a living wage in England or in, any other civilized country, even if the maids do ‘get their board and room, too.’” The value represented by that same room and board in the, average household does not equal a good deal what the girl would earn if she s many hours as she is in overtime in any factory were on duty when employed in the household, and any girl would prefer any day a job with hours and wages permitting her , to live and play among her own kind. just what they are, undoubtedly it is desirable for Conditions being women everywhere to turn as far as is possible to those kinds of employ- least ment which will interfere the with the employment of men.

Out of pure mischief the Germans destroyed all that they coiild. For instance, the rails on the ling between. Adenkerke to Bruges and Ghent were cut into pieces three or four yards in length and this was done in the most sys- tematic manner, a special machine being brought up to sever the rails ‘one by one. The liné is now being gradually restored but one can still see the short lengths of rail ranged ih heips alotig the track. Communication between one town and another is most difficult. In dlaces where the lines are to some extent, but only temporarily, re-es- tablished one or two trains are run in the day but they go very slowly, tak- ing many hours over journey which formerly listed froni half an hour to an hour. Until the communication routes are restored the re-provision- ing of Belgium will be very difficult and prices cannot go down.
