6 YANKEE WOMEN HELP SOLDIERS IN WAR ZONES Give Themselves Up Com pletely to Working For Pershing Boys New York, Doc. 20.—How Amer ican women In France helped to lighten the cares of American sol diers, feeding tljem with sweets, cooking for them, dancing with them, and also washing dishes and scrub bing floors, was told hero by Mrs. Vincent Astor. After eighteen months' service In canteen and welfare work, while her husband was serving with the over seas naval forces, Mrs. Astor has • Just returned from Bordenux, where she was In charge of a division of Y. M. C. A. women. One of her fel low workers was Mrs. Henry Rus-! sell, formerly Ethel Borden Harri inan, who was married in France. "American women have filled such an enormous place In the war that It would be difficult to imagine now whut would have been done without their help," she said. "Tho thousands of women who got to the other side gave them selves up completely to working for the soldiers, both the sick and the well, and they never spared them selves. They worked all day, and often danced long hours in the evening, sometimes with a hundred partners. "The soldiers showed the most complete courtesy to every Ameri can woman, making It Intensely \ pleasant to be doing things for them. Every few nights we gave a dance. There were usually about twenty American women, and they would have to divide their time among sev eral men. Once we had eight wom en and two thousand sailors. "In the cafeteria we began by serving about fifty men a day, and soon It was thousands. They nil wanted eggs, doughnuts and lcc ] cream. Wc had a canteen, which means strictly a tobacco und candy , store, where the men bought at cost, j and three nights a week we gave pic- j tures and entertainments. "When the convoys of wounded first commenced arriving at Bor deaux the stretchers bearing tho t wounded men would be put out on i i the station platform and we would ! ■ go among them distributing coffee! and ctgarets. Rater .this work was ! taken over by the Red Cross. "Mrs. Henry Russell and I were ! near St. Mlhlel when the Ameri- ! cans made their drive last Septem- j bcr, and we appealed so hard that i they sent us up to the front for 1 emergency work. We went past the cuutured German linos up to within! two mites of the actual fighting, and ! helped distribute candy and clga- I rets to the Fifth and Sixth Marines when they were relieved. They came 1 out of the battle luughing and hap- ! py, and with no more looks of wear j und tear than If they hud been In I a football game."

Mr. Sutherland also criticised Post master Qeneral Burleson for taking over the cable lines as a "war meas ure" after the signing of the armis tice. While It was possible, he said, that the courts would uphold the seizure until the formal termination of the war, he characterised the step as "a clear abuse of power" and utterly Indefensible." The claim that the seizure was made In the ex ercise of a war power, he asserted, was "so palpably disingenuous as to shock common sense." The government. Mr. Sutherland said, might be held to have the power to construct a railroad or a tele graph or cable line under the post otfice clause of the Constitution, which authorizes establishment of "postolllccs and post roads." But such lines, he contended,- could be employed only for governmental pur poses and not for general commercial work. The "commerce"' clause of the con stitution, on which soSne advocates of government ownership rely, also might permit tho government to con struct .ralmoads and telegraph and cable lines for the purpose of "regu lating" Interstate and foreign com merce. he added. The government Would have no authority, however, to engage In com merce on the lines, Mr. Sutherland maintained, asserting that the au thority of "regulate" commerce not only did not authorize, but Implicitly prohibited the government from en gaging in commerce. y IT 1 W"!

Secretary Daniels repeating his previous statement that he never had heard the suggestion officially, while nt the State Department, it was said that so far as known there, no such project was Included In the American peaoe program. The flrst published suggestion that the ships be sunk came from London several days ago but even before that, It was learned, this had ao cured to some naval authorities here as one possible win ° f settling a vexing problem. Await Won! of Benson Admiral Benson, chief of naval operations and designated as naval adviser to the American peace dele gation, has been In Europe some time. His views, worked out with Vlce-Admlral Sims and officials of the British admiralty and tho French ministry of marine, will have great wolght with the American delegates on naval questions arising at the conference, but there Is nothing here to, Indicate what conclusion he may have reached on the disposition of the surrendered craft. There were many Indications yes terday that a proposal to sink the ships would meet strong opposition In Congress. The Paris dispatch prompted Senator Lodge to Introduce a resolution calling on the Btate De ment for Information as to whether the American delegates are advocat ing destruction of the enemv ships, and If so l>y what authority. The resolution was left on the table without discussion>and Senator Lodge may touch upon, the subject In an address b announced yester day he would deliver in the Senate Saturday. - f gHAIIF.ftOI,pRHS TO MKRT Halifax, Pa., Dec. 20.—'The annual Gifts That Will Be Appreciated By Every Member of the Family Be , cause They Are Extremely Practical and Economical WOMEN'S SLIPPERS Plain or far trimmed, very qq to <£ IQC f Tt. attractive colors; special 570 C viiaU \ In fur or ribbon trimmed, or the dandy comfy tk Y > BnffflMll slipper, In a variety of colors and QQ _to i 1 QQ 1 _ Uk HBnßE9|g| styles.
