Woman is no longer being more or less grudgingly admitted as an ;! economic factor; she is being wel | corned and entreated. Take our own country, for in ' stance. Statisticians figure that I owing to the cessation of immigra i tlon, and the demands of military i service and work directly connected I with the waging of war. our normal ; man power engaged in business anil industry has been decreased by al ! most one-half, and that the re j mainder is needed almost in toto : for the essential and urgent occu pations of agriculture, the steel and j iron industry, and transportation. In round numbers, about fifteen' ' million workers are needed to carry ■ on the ordinary business of the na-, tion. Nor is this a merely local or temporary shortage. Other nations; are in even worse shape than ours, j and the < ondition is due to continue long after peace has been declared, j What is the answer, then? Why, ■ i simply, that women must step in| I and till the gap. That they are al i ready feeling the call is evidenced to, me by the letters I receive every' day. As a sample, one woman writes, to me: "I am married and have) two children, but I want a differ-| ent kind of employment. I can do | ; everything about a house —paint,. 1 hang wallpaper make doll houses | and doll beds with real mattresses j on them, make the children new! clothes from old ones, but I am tired of it all. I want to get out; in the crowd, right in the middle j of the v-ry biggest crowd 1 could j find. I would like to be a letter | carrier in a busy section—anything just so I am out in the crowd." Plainly the old restlessness of the "restles sex" is astir. Woman! I is eyeing her restrictions and con-1 I strains with a mutinous eye. Doesj it mean that the old order is utterly, to change; that the housewife is to 1 | go and all our food be served fromj j central kitchens and our sewing,; i mending and cleaning be done byj ■ central agencies: that women will go j j out to work or business as univer- j j sally as do men? Perhaps. It is! | idle to try to stem the tides of des-1 tiny. But if so, let her piay the game. | Let her be restless in her opposi-1 I tion to injustice, oppression andj I wrong, restless in seeking the high-j I est efficiency, but not restless mere ' ly for the sake of change.

THE PLOT A New Serial of East and West By Ylrgiuin Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER VI (Copyright, 1918, Star Company.) The sound of a footfall on the back pori-h of the kitchen made Elizabeth Wade look up. She started slightly as Amos Chapin's Polish farmhand appeared in the door. . The man had seen her nervous start and'spoke gruffly: I "You needn't be scared. It's only : ine. 1 ain't a-goin' to hurt you." Elizabeth smiled. "I did not sup ! pose you were." she said, lightly. "But your coming so suddenly made me jump." The man stood watching her and she felt vaguely uncomfortable. She , did not like this fellow —Sulov Ta lak. by name. She had always had a sensation of repulsion with re- Bard to him. She chided herself now 1 for her unreasonable prejudice. The | man was not evil. He was only seemingly sub-normal. On this ac count Amos Chapin had been able to .-ecure him at very low wages. Born in Poland. h£ had been brought to this country as a child, yet spoke English with a strange accent. "Whose dat came?' he asked at last, nodding toward the front of the house. "Mr. Butler—a professional farm er." Elizabeth replied. "He work here?" Talak replied jealously. "He will direct the work, and do some of it himself, too, I suppose," she answered. "He's not needed," the laborer de clared bluntly. "The boss don't want him. And he's a fool if he works for the boss. He'd work any man till he was dead." Mot Very Welcome Elizabeth spoke gravely. "You must not talk like that of Mt. Cha pin," she reproved. "He's your em- I ployer, and you should respect him." "The Pole said nothing, but frown ed darkly. At that instant a black dog came up on the steps, and the man bent and patted him. "Nig wants his supper," Talak re marked. as the animal pushed past him into the kitchen. Elizabeth's tone was sharp. "Call Nig out, Talak!" she ordered. "See' how he has tracked up Mrs. Chapin's I nice clean floor with his muddy I feet." Before she could enforce her "com- j mand. Amos Chapin came into the I room from another door than that j at which Talak waited. "Get out of here!" he exclaimed j to the dog. who was now nosing about the stove. "Talak!" What do you mean by letting that brute into the house?" "He do no harm," the Pole pro tested. "Get out." Chapin repeated, stamp ing his foot angrily. The dog obeyed, showing his teeth in an ugly snarl at the farmer. "I'll have that, dog shot if vou don't keep him down at the barn or somewhere from under mv feef"i Chapin threatened. "Go down and I unharness the team. I left them under the shed. What are you hanging about here for anyway.'' When the man had shuffled off! SEVERE BATTLE .

In addition, they held ton | firmly to the ground gained the night previous just to the north, an the region of Mosloy, fighting off two Gernjan counterattacks. Southwest of Soissons, where the ; brilliant stroke of last week placed I the French in a strong position on | the important Laversine plateau, they moved ahead again in the cen ter of their new line, gaining ground i by the capture of a strong point north of Cutry. I In all, the French took some 200 prisoners in these actions. British Troops Advance The British stroke, which also was a local operation, was well to ward the southern end of their line, Just above Albert, nqrth of the Somme river. An Improvement in the British positions was effected , here and machine guns and pris oners fell into their hinds when they advanced. Severe battles are brewing on the fightifig fronts. All indications point to an early resumption of heavy lighting on the wenern line. In Italy the mountain zone is again the scene of Infantry operations. Tension is Increasing along the British front in France as the cres- 1 cendo of the German artillery fire! mounts higher an i higher. From 1 Ypres to Rheims th*> big guns are i busier than they have been for some da>'s and the Germans probably are 1 preparing to reait strongly against j tne allied nibbllm tactics which cost: them Important jrolnts last week. The German command is known to have large fotces In readiness on the main battlefields of France.
