This sounds very like Wash- ington’s doctrine. that .“'.o be prepared for war is one of the most efl‘ectual ways of preserving peace.” But the great peace congresses are teaching us another lesson. viz.: that to be armed to the teeth Let me but do my work from day to day.

One of the incidents of the present struggie is that five hundred young women operators are camping on the grounds of the‘ Methodist Camp Meeting Asso- ciation, at Desplaines. The camp meeting itself being over, one can hardly imagine a better use to be madewpf the numerous summer cottages and tents on these famous old grounds. These young women. are now taking an enforced furlough front work and the most serious immediate problem for them is how to live on the small allowance that will be theirs.
