It Is the Government's duty to organize t dr?rtmcnr BS comprehensive nwJ efficient the War Department itself for the vie- ,inB houflnp. medical care and clothing ef moinf" - summed up. that was the verdict today m'o national women's organizations, with f' JaUarters In Nw York; the Women's ?" ue for National Service and the Na tional Woman Suffrage- Association. They suggested two plans whereby the rvfrnmcnt, which Is now seeking a solu. Sinn of the problem, may use national or linlzatlons already In existence as a basis for this woman's war department,. The Service League favors reorganization f the- National Red Cross, under Govern ment control, to shoulder the task. The suffragists favor tho development of their own national, State, county, city, vll lice and election district organizations of two million women to handle the work for th Government. Both bodies stressed their attitude that there must be no hint of charity or phil anthropy nbout this work." "The Government," said Mrs. Coffin Van Rensselaer, of the Women's League organ isation committee, today, "has discharged only half its duty to the nation when It has trained, enulpped and sent its soldiers to tiht "Jt must also train, equip and empower Its women to do their share at home In many ways : and It must protect the chil dren already born and ecp that those who trill be born have every opportunity to grow Itralght and strong, that they may take their fathers' places. APPLIES TO ALL "This applies not only to tho wives and Children of fighting men, but to all the women and children of tho nation who need help and training. "How this work Is organized Is up to the Government. Our league is pledged to tupport the National lied Cross, and if the work Is turned over to the Red Cross, that will suit us But both the Itecl Cros3 and ourselves are behind the Government In whatever it does. "The Government owes a double obliga tion to tho women. For they not only give up their loved ones to fight In tho trenches. but they also face many difficulties at home " jllss Maude Young, of tho National Amer ican Woman Suffrage Association, outlined that bodx s attitude In the matter. "The development of woman power In the ration" and the protection of the feminine home forces by the Government is a far more vital problem In this war than the Government seems to have realized," said the. "If we bungle the problem of woman power at the beginning the nation will seri ously handicap Itrelf in this war for a long time to crime "The two million women of our organiza tion are alive to the fact that "the women at home will play as great a part in the winning of this war as wlll-our men at the front. WHAT WOMEN WILL C.IVC "Women arc going to bo called upon to labor In the field, the factories, the busi ness offlces. the professions nnd the admin istration of local and municipal affairs. .'They are going to be called upon to bear children and to glvo tip those they have llreadj borne. But whether the task Is assigned to ti or tr. i triers wo stand equipped and refrdy to help."

The Vare bill granting tho women of Pennsylvania the right of sufftnge In presi oentlal elections, which was introduced in the Senate Monday night, will probably meet the Fame fate 'that a similar bill. In troduced In the House by Representative Lex. N Mitchell, of Jcffen-oii. encountered. The Mitchell bill was reported from cpm mlttee with a negative recommendation. That means that 104 votes a constitutional majority, are necessary before the bill can be placed on tho calendai. The Senate members have been dodging the suffrage Issue for years, merely voting on the amendment finally In order to kill it at the polls under the direction of the Sen ate leaders, McNIchol, Vare, Crow, Sproul and the others. The Varo bill Is in Judici ary Speflal Committee, which is dominated completely by the Republican organization leaders, and tho Penrose faction, which failed to support the Whltakcr amendment to the constitution, giving the women tho right of universal suffrage, several weeks Uo, has a majority of tho organization members.
