When supremacy in the homo passed from the male head of the institution to the wife, people used to remark that it was "tho missus who wears the pants;" and if this standard of measurement is to bo applied nowadays it is going to bo rather difficult to determine whether it is the men, or the women, "who'll wear the 'and manage the affairs of the world. The village school ma'ams and belles are now doing a large part of the work in Washington, and they have replaced men in the Government departments in thousands of cases.

The munitions plants are filled with women; and in the industries they are doing every bit as good service as men. Reports from England upon this phase of industry are interesting, since the Mother country undoubtedly moves even slower than we arc going. Nevertheless 1,500,000 women have directly replaced men since the beginnig of the war. The figures from France and Italv are even more sur- of wide-spread stateownership. From time to time it has been found necessary for the-Government run certain businesses, the uninterrupted prosecution of: which is sary to the public welfare and cannot beadetuiatcly controlled in any way, but normally this is as as to permit such business concerns to be free from all Government supervision and direction.

"Normally, and save where the necessity is clearly shown, our aim be to encourage and stimulate private action co-operation subject to Government control." Uade vSam Will Rule the Waves.

But American ships 1 are hopping into the ocean with more speed than American automobiles achieved ten or a dozen years think of it!

Gradually women are taking their places in the ranks of industry shoulder to shoulder with men.

The Triumph in Industry. There is no use denying the fact tfiat there is a great shortage of labor throughout the country, and in order to better regulate conditions Government has instituted its Employment Service, and already going, there have been good results. Secretary of Labor Wilson in speaking of the German propaganda among the laboring 'classes said that if the philosophy of sabotage and striking upon the job had been tolerated it would have resulted in decreased production, and a lowering of the standard of living of those who were actually doing the physical labor. The Secretary has pointed the fact that the most efficient laborer is the American wageworker, who "produces more than any other wageworker in the world, notwithstanding the much advertised efficinecy of the German workmen." Labor has put its heel on the cobva- headed I. doctrine, labor has taken the best out of the philosophies of the Non-Partisan League and similar institutions, and has consigned the rest of the doctrine, and the exploiters, to the scrap-heap.

Employers and employees have triumphed, and it is clear that henceforth the existing differences will be settled by amicable methods that the Government has supplied. The glorious indication that democracy is achieving in France is likewise' winning its victories in the industrial establishments of the United States. Wage Increase The National War Labor Board, of which former President William H. Taft and Frank P. Walsh are joint rendered-decisions one-day recently giving substantial increases in wages to 50,000 employees ingaged in twenty-two street railway enterprises.

The percentage of increase in the awards ran from 35 to 40 per cent in the larger cities, including Chicago, Detroit, Newark and Roches- er. In New Orleans the increase was 50 per cent, and in Galesburg, 111., it reached 65 per cent. A flat wage of 50 cents an hour was fixed in the Chicago case, and overtime work was arranged-at time and a half pay, thus placing the employees on the same plane as skilled mechanics in Government Paul M. Warburg, of the Federal Reserve Board, in a recent address on the "drastic shrinkages" that have occured in public utility investments, and he expresses some alarm at the outcome. The records show that four companies with outstanding securities aggregating $250,000,000 have gone into the hands of receivers this year.

The utilities are paying increases of from to 150 per cent for fuel and from to '500 per cent for materials from 40 to 50 per cent for labor. It is easy J'or the average' mind to figure out why these in wages and other occur, but it is a little but just as inevitable a to. figure out, that the five-cent carfare will have to make the same kind of an exit that has been made by the five-cent loaf of bread and the five-cent quart of milk. Roosevelt on Our Industries. Once in a while Colonel Roosevelt talks about things in a way that all agree they are partisans or foes of the ex-President.

Mr. Rosevelt has recently said that "in our industrial activities, alike of farmer, wage worker and business man, our aim should be co-operation among ourselves and control by the state to a degree necessary, In order to prvent tyranny and yet encourage and reward individual excellence." Colonel Rosevelt says that "government ownership should be avoided wherever possible; our purpose should be to steer betwee nthe anarchy of unregulated individualism and the deadening formalism und inefl'icinecy That was when the yards were building, and the material and workmen were getting things in shape to start things. Now, even Americans, who are used to marvelous achievements, are surprised at the records in ship building, and it is confidently 'predicted that one of the results 'of the war will be that "Uncle Sam will rule the waves." Great Britain will be distanced before long, at the rate we are A Voice from Colorado. The paragraphers from the National Capital need no longer claim superior knowledge of conditions, as noneo fthem could very veil say more in fewer words about "Government Ownership," than the editor of the. Middle Park, Colorado, Times, who observes: "In the taking over by the Government of the telegraph and telephone lines, there is plenty of material for thought as to whether it will work out the same in these lines as it has in railroad affairs.

It certainly is to be hoped that the rates will not be raised, but in view of the fact that Colorado companies have already asked for a raise in rates, and the Denver papers are tearing their hair about it, that would into be what we may expect." MARRIAGE LICENSES. Prepared- for The Times by the St. Louis Union Bank, Business men of the United States have a tendency to under-estimate the commercial and financial importance of Canada. This northern neighbor of oui-s but for war conditions would rank second in our list of customers. Canda last year imported from this country gods to the value of according to £he records of the Dominion government.

The total was actually much larger, for not all gods went through the customs. There must also be added the large sums paid in interest on federal provincial, municipal, industrial and private corporation' loans and the expenditures of Canadian tourists. A competent observer expresses, the opinion that Canada is our customer to a total of more than one billion dollars a year. Canada's importance is further revealed by the fact that in ten months of the fiscal year 191V-1918 her war exports totaled above a bilion dollars, $624,858,700 being the value of war pessimists were predicting the fail- and $438,904,400 the value tire out 1 program.

Her organization and power must be maintained and in- reased, an dthere is need and opportunity at this time for the United States to aid her in sustaining them, rler credit is, of course, unquestioned. There is present need of further financing by the Dominion govern- nent and the United States should respond by a loan of $100,000,000 or nore, on a basis similar to the methods followed in assisting her other allies.

A model husband is one who never No Place for Women Relatives. Efforts of the Red Cross to give publicity to the fact Women relatives df soldidl-s will do, well to stay away frohi cantonment towns deserve success. Some of the Maddest incidents of the war have're- sulted from the determination of young wives to remain with their soldier Husbands up until the departure for France: And many sisters and mothers of soldiers have beeifput to great hardships by the same ambi-, tion. Boys in camps have appreciated the desirability of their women folks remaining away fro inthe cantonments, but it will readily be appreciated that they are almost helpless in If they write and advise their wives or sisters or mothers to remain at home, they are in danger of being misunderstood. The women feel as if they are willing to undergo almost any harship to be with their loved the soldier finds it a difficult matter to argue the proposition.

Cantonment towns are invariably full to overflowing, and frequently the class of newcomers who have coma in is-not at all what it should be. Even at the risk of being misunderstood, many soldiers have written home" and advised against their women relatives attempting a visit, but they should be saved this risk of being The fact that women relatives should not attempt to visit cantonment towns ought to be widely disseminated.

infor- nation concerning wounded and sick American soldiers admitted to hispi- tals overseas, will be made immediately available to relatives or frineds of them under a plan being worked out at the war department. Secretary Baker said today he had visited the offices of Surgeon General to look into the daily reports from the hospitals and to have carded, catalouged and tabulated so the most instant information can be given to all inquiries. The hospital records, Mr. Baker said, would be brought here weekly by courier from France and thus it would be possible to give exact information concerning wounds or the disease from which the men are suffering. The information will be available through the adjutant general.

The task of installing the system will be a big one, but the war secretary believes the information should be available, for in thousands of cases it will relieve unnecessary distress and doubt which follows appearance of the names of men in casualty lists as, wounded, degree undetermined, or severely. The only man who he is looking for is the man who is always looking for the worst of it. Another good bet is that you'll never cut expenses down while you are keeping appearances up. Moved by Powerful Recklessness Is no part of courage. When Cromwell and his men gave the sublime picture of heroic courage which Illuminates English history, It was not that they undervalued the enormous strength of what they fought against; It was that they saw righteousness and freedom beyond, and moved toward their fascinating presence Brooks.

Especially t6 the south of this the eGrmans nave left behind them numerous lines of retarding wire entanglements. The German guns appear to be far behind the infantry in the movement toward the rear. This is indicated by the extremely light enemy artillery fire, even that of the small cannon. In the operations the past few days on the whole Hazelmrouck front, including those between Outtersteen and Vieux Berquin, nineteen officers and 845 me nof other ranks have been taken prisoner.

The largest part of this number was composed, until overcome by the advancing British, of rear guards and screens Covering the enemy's retirement; There has been some fighting, of course, but it has been mostly of a local skirmishing nature.

Smith of "the River "Somme the enemy artillery has quieted down and the situation here for the, moment seems to have become calm. Every day now some new document or incid'ent comes to light a weakening of morale in the German army or anxiety of its leaders.

The latest is a step to make the soldiers cease whining when writing letters to friends and relatives, as it is considered by the German commanders to be bad for home morale. It is a secret captured order issued by the commander of the second German army. He states that a special examination of home-going mail disclose a the army postal regulations. Aside from disclosing the exact location of units, many of the soldiers have told of "successes of, the enemy." Destruction of trains by entente aircraft especially had been mentioned.

Boys and Girls Plant Beet Seed for Syrup. Boys and girls in 18 States have planted 10,414 ounces of sugar-beet seed supplied them by the United States Department of Agriculture for the purpose of making sugar-beet syrup. The seed was secured through the Bureau of Plant Industry and distributed by the States Relations Service to 18 State leaders of boys' and girls' club work in the North and West. Each boy or girl receiving an ounce of seed is pledged to grow it and to make the beets into syrup; It is-osti'matod-thati -with average yields, this might result in tne home manufacture of more than 40,000 gallons of syrup, which may be used in many ways as a sugar substitute in general cooking.
