The pay matter is serious in the view of the trades unions, which fear the employers will use the less paid women in order to oust men and at the end of the war refuse to restorc men to their old positions. Suffragists allg champion the equal pay for equal Wgork demand, since they regard less lent work as an i Further complicatiols are caused by women volunteering to work free, but it is suggested their wages be paid and turned into a charity fund. Tt is estimated that 80 per cent. of the women of the British Tsles are engaged at the present moment either on voluntary work or on pro- fessignal or industrfal work. The most recent returns made. to the Centra] Labor Exchange show that 33,000 applications for war work have been filed by women. Of this number, the women of London con- llrlbme 13,000, the southeastern dis- trict of England 2,02h, Yorkshire, 'Scothnd. 4,253, Wales 670, Ireland, 590 and the rest come from other parts of England. That women volunteering for war service: work should join the unions in order to maintain present condi- tions was the advice from Sylvia IPlnkhunt at a recent - conference under auspices of the Emergency Workers' National Committee. A | resolution was passed asking men’s unions to admit women members. This also recommended to the gov- ernment that all women registering for war service should immediately join unmions; that such membership should be conditional to employ- ment; that when doing the same work as a man the women should receive equal pay; that sweating | conditions must be avoided and a living wage scale paid, that ade- quate training with maintainence should be provided-and that, after the war, the priority of employment should be given to workmen whose places were tgken by women, and new places protded for the women. These resolutioiiy represent the at- titude of the woNrul-u the | and trades unioni: alists rep- A. H. Marlatt. W. B. McMullen. W. B. Moon. L. B. Moyer. Mr. McGaffey. J. Neilson-Lange. W. C. Norvell.

MacArthur, who presided, described a visit to a large armament factory where she found a large number of women appli- cants for work standing outside. “It is one thing for women to fill the places of men who have volun- tarily enlisted,” declared Miss Mac- Arthur “and another to allow our- iselves to be use as instruments to force economic conscription on the men, War service by women, she con- tinued, should not be used to force men to go to the front. Natlonal conscription would be preferable to an economic conscription of this kind. Those acquainted with the union movement knew that the men had never objected to women as women, but what they did object to was cheap labor. Unfortunately, in the past, owing to lack of organiza- tion, women had taken men's jobs at very much less than men wonld take. Speaking of the claim for patriot- ic motives women ought to give their help unconditionally to the government, she said that in so do- ing the women would not be assist- ing the country but helping profit making interests, which were al- ready shamelessly exploiting the present national emergency. Male operators for night duty in the telephone service, which is gov- ernment owned, have become so few that a special call has ben made for women operators for the period of the war. Heretofore, women have been employed only on day duty. The women who answer the switches are pald $5.50 a week dur- ing their training period, and six dollars when trained, a week to con- sist of 48 hours of work. Beds are provided, so that by rotation each operator can obtain two hours .of sleep in the night. Women are also fast replacing men on the railway lines of Eng- land in minor capacities. Follow- ing the innovation of women bag- gage porters, the Great Western Railway has engaged women ticket collectors and punchers. They wear a neat, plain dress, with a badgze on the sleeve. NAVAL VESSELS HAVE LEFT PENSACOLA Pensacola, April 29—With the exception of the mine layer San Francisco, naval vessels yesterday deserted Pensacola harbor for the season. The San Francisco will probably get away today or very early tomorrow, there having been matters which had to be looked after before the big naval craft went north. Two submarines and the tender Fulton were on the way to Pensa- sola for an extended stay, but after they had stopped at Charleston, they were held there under orders, and did not come further south, At that port they will join some of the other vessels which are to proceed further northward, and will go either to Philadelphia or New York. Practically all the vessels which go further north than Charleston will assemble with dozens of others in New York harbor for grand re- view, when the president and the secretary of the navy will together review the scores of ships. 1t is believed that the entire lot of naval ships which spent so many weeks in Pensacola harbor will all be returned here in time, and that the next spring maneuvers will be conducted with this point as the base. In fact such was the expressed opinion of naval officers Sunday afternoon on the docks. The destroyers, Panther, Prairie, Tonopah and submarines were well on their way in the gulf by sun up, it was stated, as they had assembled at the navy yard for an early start. Sallormen who for the past several weeks have been numerous on the streets the afternoon each day, were missed from the city yesterday. (By Associated Press.)

MITCHEL Damien was a courfer in the Balkan states while the people in Macedonia were preparing for the revolution against the Turks in 1908. His work was to carry messages between the towns, in each of which was a revolu- tionary committee. Macedonia was jfull of Turkish soldiers and Turkish robbers, both of whom oppressed the | Christians. The soldlers patrolled the country, while the robbers swooped 'down on the farmers, appropriated their provisions and animals and, what ‘called for thelr undyiug vengeance. carried off their women. . Damien at times carried his mes- gages on foot, fighting his way through underbrush, over the mountains and crossing the streams either by fording 'or on an improvised raft. But he was usually expected to cover considerable distances and at such times traveled on horseback. His horse—his name was Peter—had been obtatned for him from racing stock, since he needed fleetness to escape from the askars, or Turkish soldiers, who, should they capture him, would torture, then put him to death. But Damien always carried a tiny bottle of polson to en- able him to escape the torture. Often would Damien ride Into a vii- lage and warn the inhabitants that their oppressors were on the way to- ward them, which meant that they must expect to be looted. This would give time for the Christians to hide ar- ticles of value and for the women to ciimb into the mountains and hide. But the great work done by the courler was carrying the messages of the or- ganizers of the.revolution and those of the revolutionary committees between the towns. . One evening just before dark Da- mien, loaded with messages that if captured would draw down on numer- . ous towns the wrath of the Turks—be- | ing evidence that they were plotting rebellion—was riding along a road. Suddenly his horse pricked up his ears, turning them to the right. Presently Damien heard the soft tread of horses’ hoofs on soft turf. They were In a vance of him, and he turned to go back, but as he did so he saw Turkish horsemen leaving the timber for the road behind him. He determined to keep on, trusting to Peter’s speed, that had saved him on s0 many occaslons. “Peter,”” he sald, “you must make | the effort of your life. Never would | a capture of dispatches with which 1| bave been Intrusted result so disas- | trously to so many of our friends as | now.” i Peter may not have understood what i each word meant, but he knew by M-l master’s tone that a supreme effort must be made. He heard the tread of horsemen making for the road in ad- vance of him as well as that of those behind. Gathering his legs under him, he made a spring that was followed by another and another in quick suc- cession. He succeeded in passing the point where the advance Turks enter- ! od the road several hundred yards ahead of him. The pursuers sent shots after him, but did not hit either him or his horse. Peter, as usual, carried his master away from his enemies, but there werp other parties out looking for Damien, | who had been Informed upon by Po- | maks, Mahometan citizens of the coun- i try, who were ever ready to give the 'ml.lh soldiers information of Chris- tian rebels. Fearing to meet others, Damien turned off the road and enter- ed a fleld. It was now quite dark, and be could not be seen beyond a very short distance, and his horse’s tread not il s i f !

Tearing them into bits, be lifted a stone under water in the bottom of the ditch, thrust them un- der and let the stome fall on them. Then he returned to his horse and put his arms about him, holding Peter's head against his breast. “Peter, dear Peter” he sald, “we will die together.” Taking the poison he always carried —prussic acid—he emptied most of it on Peter's tongue. In a moment the horse was still. Then, pouring the rest of it on his own tongue, he fell torward. The Turks found courfer and horse dead together. one of Damien’s arms about Peter's neck. They knew whom they had taken end searched him and about him for his dispatches. But they did not think to look under a stone at the bottom of the ditch, and even If they had found the papers it is doubtful, in their wet and muddy condition, 1f they could have decipher «d them. Proof to Show He Wasn't Crazy. Vietor Murdock says that one night in Fort Scott, after a political meet- fog. two men who had been in the audience fell into a violent discussion about the topic of the speech of the evening. A big crowd lingered to hear the disputants out. One was named Flynn and the other Dobbins. They were evidently strangers to each other. Finally Flynn lost his head and sald: “You're wrong, 1 tell you; you're wrong. You're crazy.” “l am not,” said Dobbins hotly; “I know what I am talking about.” *No, you don’t,” shouted Flyun; “you're crazy—- 1 tell you you are crazy.” “I am not,” cried Dobbins, “and 1 can prove it.” Flynn stopped short In surprise and asked: “How?" Dobbins slowly drew a fat wad of papers from his inside pocket and said slowly and convincing- ly: “Well, here are my discharge pa- pers from the asylum."—Kansas City Star. Shave Spoiled His Passport. One of the most unusual passport cases which has yet come to the at- tention of the American embassy at London arose when a well-dressed American called to obtain a passport which had been sent to Washington some weeks ago to be renewed, but during the interim the owner of the passport had been denuded of his whiskers, which set of whiskers was still attached to his person when he sent his photographs to Washington, and he was described in the passport as bewhiskered. Asked why he shaved off the whisk- ers, he sheepishly stated that he had his whiskers shaved onte a year and forgot all about the passport regula- tions. Speed of Zeppelins. Zeppelins vary in speed, but the swiftest of them are not comparable in speed to the aeroplanes.
