nepoal of the national child labor law
bo that children could replace men called
td war would be ft great a crlmo nil any
committed during the conflict, Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Catt. national president t tho
Rational Woman Suffrage Association, Ue
tared today.
Thre has been no crime committed
'futrt the war and thero will be no crime
. V- Mmmiiip,! Brealrr than would be the repeal
of the national child labor law." Mrs. Catt
cald
It required a generation of time nnd
effort to secure It. and lt repeal would
mean the sacrifice of another generation
the children whom tho enemies of that law
ar lying In wait to exploit
'After we ha pasted through furh ft
three-year struggle as has deitroyed the
-manhood of lluropo It will be tlmo enough
to talk of crowding tho children Into ranks
of labor made acnnt by tho demands of
mllitar) sen Ice
"Let them be filled bv men too old for
war. but able to do nny work that may
be required of them. In nddltlon to theso
men Is the great reserve force of women
waiting to be called mi N"ot until the last
one of these two cUssos has been utilized let
emplojers of labor dare lay liandi on the
children of the nation "
The National League of Women Workers
Joined In the protest ugalnst t:e contem
plated suspension of the law, il-clarlng lt"
"willingness to co-operate ngnlnst any effort
to break down labor restrictions guarding
the children "
CHICAGO. May 18
"It Is a ery great shame een to con
sider setting aside the federal child labor
law during the war. especially as there Is
no present emeri,ncy," wns the statement
today of Miss Mary McDowell resident
head of the Chicago University Settlement
"Knglind rushcJ Into a similar situation
at the beginning of the war. and now Is
regretting It The juvenile delinquency In
that country has Increase! 35 per cent as
a. result of taking children from rchool
and puttlrg them to work
"Fortunately, nany of our States have
adequate child labor laws which will not
be affected by any action Congress may
take."
Ml3 McDowell Is ono of tho best known
child labor law promuters In tho Middle
West.
UJSMow Can End War,
'Lord Derby Asserts.
Continued from fme line
came de&k, fought and defeated British
apathy when that effort seemed hopeless.
"Americans nre quicker at some things
than the Ilrltl'r." Lord Derby resumed after
a moment "1 believe America will get a
quicker start than we did If the people
appreciate the size of the Job "
CAN' THAI.V ARMY QUICKLY
"Can the American nrmy be trained as
rapidly as the now units of the Hrltish
army that Is, In three months?" was
asked.
"Thero, again, American quickness will
firobably show Itself," the war head re
turned. 'The fact that tho Hrltish are
now able to train men In three months Is
partly due to their drilling with seasoned
organizations p-mi-the front
"Ilut I shooWay that three months'
training In Ame-lct. plus a certain nmount
6f necessary training In France, would
make the fittest kind of soldiers from en
tirely raw material
"Tr" matter of gettirg n sma'l American
contingent nvcjJiire even earlier Is ono
which Amerlcattlioldlers must decide for
themselves, but "r" have no doubt of the
effect It would Mayo on tho Drlt'sh The
French are lesa Violld, nnd It would nffect
them even greater"
'"What about Arner cins on the Itusslan
front?" Lord Derby was asked
'Thit Is entirely a matter for American
soldiers to dec de It certainly could not
fall to Inspire the Russian people
EFFECT ON GERMANS
"There's another phase of this question
of moral effect about which little has been
Bald, and that la tho effect on the German
people when America actually takes the
field. Think what It means' Many Ger
mans have looked to America as n sort of
heaven. Many have been struggling for
J ears In the hope of emigrating there
Now It will seem that the gates are closed
This effect on tho German people may
possibly be the most Important single proof
that they are the worst victims of the
ystem for which they are being slaughtered
to defend.
"No one can question the tremendous
effect of the first appearance of an Ameri
can army, however smal', In the fighting
line. "
"But, after all. that's not the main thing
That won't end the war
"Not until America begins making war
as, though she alone faced Germany will
there he a possibility of predicting when
the end will come and I know that Is the
plrlt In which the American nation Is
taking up the conflict."
