Paid Woman Writer I A number of women were busily S i working at a big table in. a Red Cross j unit. They were making bandages to , K be Sent to France for our boys. A sweet 3 j' faced, middle aged woman, parsing by, ft stopped to speak. 3 ' "How are your boys?' asked a friend rl ' of ners 5 : "Three of them are already over U ; 1 there," replied the woman, "and the : I iast goes in 1 ver' Tow weeks. I have -1 not shed a tear where anyone could 3 ' every week " 3 j "i do not see how you bear It," J ,i jjreatbed her friend, sympathetically. 3 vIt breaks my heart to have them i g6, but it would sear my soul if they 3' were slackers enough to stay," said the woman as she passed on. i The women looked at her with the 4 tribute in their eyes that women pay ! to heroes, and then the first burst out 11 I impulsively. : "Believe me," she said, "the slrang ) j et thing about this whole war is what a '5 I jt'S doing to people. It is making them j over. Every day I meet on the streets ' some big, tanned, broad shouldered, 3 ! upstanding, husky young fellow that I don't recognize for a few minutes. Then it dawns on me that he is a boy 3 i thai I remember as a narrow chested, n I ttoop shouldered, thin, white faced il bookkeeper or clerk. Why even his T ' ! voice has changed and the look in his eye3 He's been turned by war from a 3 i manikin into a man. I , ?i "And the war is having just as much Jil effect on us women. It's changed us. a l Half the women 1 know have been just 1 ' ; as much metamorphosed by the war as 54? if thev liad changed their skins. They V 1 think about different things. They do i ) different things. They've got different ;y -i ideals, an entirely different viewpoint on life. 1?; il "Take that woman, for Instance, who i ; :5 has just told us with perfect calmness 3s j that she has sent four sons out to meet 1 ' danger, and perhaps death. She's one of those frantic mothers who have hys- terics for fear their children will have blood poisoning if they stub their toes. 3 I've seen her go through agonies of 3 I anxiety when one of her boys was five I minutes late in getting home from school, yet she can smile and kiss them 3- goodbye when she knows they are j ' leaving her probably forever. The war 5j has made ner over nuiu Jl .' reasoning, fearful poor creature into a 5: I brave, strong, noble woman." 3:1 I "She isn't the only one," said an 3' ' other woman. "I have a friend who has had a most unhappy life. She had a j stepmother who treated her cruelly m J: her childhood and in trying to get away from her wretched home she li ' rushed into a disastrous marriage. Her husband is one of those cold, mean, U selfish, tyrannical men who make their j: wives lives a hell on earth. And as If Ij ? this poor creature had not had enough 1 sufferings to bear, her children have 6 been no comfort to her. i "Her combined miseries have broken jj the woman's spirit and for years she I has gone about looking like a figure of i tragedy. She never smiled, she-never ' seemed to take any interest In any . thing, and the only real pleasure she , had in life was to tell you of her j troubles and go on regular jag of tears. i It took me days to get over one of her visits and get back to the place where I could feel that life was something else besides cinders, ashes and dust. , "Well, the other day I met this worn j1 an and she was so braced up that I 'i hardly knew her. She had on a bright colored dress and it was the first time i I had ever seen her in anything but black. She actually essayed a feeble II joke, and she never once mentioned v her troubles. j "Things are going better with you, J, aren't they9" I said, at last, when my I curiosity got unbearable. I "No," she replied, "but in the face I of the world woe I haven't got the I nerve and egotism to even consider i my own little, petty, personal griefs. I What does It matter one husband Is .: considerate or inconsiderate when na tions are being trampled under foot by barbarians?

"Same here," said a third woman. "All my life I've been a fretter and a worrier. If everything wasn't exactly as It, should be I was up on my Up toes. I could make myself and every body about me miserable about any kind of a trifle that went wrong. "Bad seats at the theater, a clumsy maid who didn't know how to set a table, the collar of a frock that was an eighth of an inch too high or too low, why, I'd just be in a fever and a fury, over any one of them and I'd talk about it and nag about it and make a great ado. "But little things like that have ceased to worry me now. I don't see them. I don't realize them. Thoy have just passed into matters of ab solute indifference.

I am worrying over whether our boys have got enough sweaters and mufflers. Those boys in khaki, they are the only important thing on earth to me right now."

It has even taken away my de sire for things. All I want of money now is just to give and help those unfortunates." "Yes," said the first woman, "war has changed us women as much as It has the men.

LONDON, Dec. 31. (Correspond ence of the Associated Press). Gen eral Maude, the conquerer of Bagdad, who died recently of cholera in an army hospital In Mosopotamia, lies buried in the center of the British cemetery north of Bagdad, adjoining the old Turkish cavalry barracks. A wooden cross marks his grave, and a heap of wreaths, chrysanthemums and marigolds were strewn over the grassless mould of the desert. Among these floral tributes were ribbons and artificial flowers, the tribute of the people of Bagdad, of the Naquib, and of the Jewish school, whose annual dramatic entertainment he attended a few days before his death. The near est graves to IiIb own are those of privates of the division which he used to command. The British eye-witness with the armies in Mesopotamia, in an account of a memorial service held in the cita del at Bagdad, writes of General Maude: "One's first impression of him was of modesty, repose, confidence and strength. Only gradually did one real ize his thoroughness, his far vision, and his infinite application to detail. He was a master of detail. Supply, transport, intelligence, psychological factors in every branch of staff work he was the inspirer and director. "Ex-officlo he will have a niche among the military immortals as the conqueror of Bagdad, but none realize better than the army he led how in dividual his successes were. lie was more than the heart and brain of the machine. It is doubtful If In the whole of British military history there is a parallel instance in which a series of military victories can be more exclu sively attributed to the personality, of nnp mnn "The retrieving of the situation aft er the British had failed to relieve Kul, the reconstruction of the fighting machine, and the breaking up of the Turkish force In the Tigris, called for qualities which when found in combi nation amount to genius. In those dark days Britain prayed for a great man and he was on the spot "The operations which led to the capture of Bagdad were a series of masterly strokes, so brilliant in con ception that the Turks never seriously contemplated their success. But Maude was always confident of breaking through. In the long, costly and la borious business of evicting "the Turk yard by yard from his elaborate trench system about Kut, he was satisfied all the time that things were going well, and his confidence was infectious. "General Maude's modesty was so pronounced a6 to be remarkable. He detested flattery and would have liked to have . carried on the whole cam paign anonymously. No personal ref erence to himself was permitted in any public communique. He never gave himself the credit for any suc cessful operation or stroke of" gen ius, or sound piece of organization. He never listened to congratulations with out minimizing his own part in the af fair. " 'Don't congratulate me,' he would say in good natured impatience. 'It was the men who did it' He had prob ably conceived every' detail of the operation, even to the handling of sin gle battalions, yet, when the coup was accomplished, he would reflect the whole credit on the subordinate com mand. He was as disciplined in his routine as a clock He started at 5 o'clock in the morning, breakfast be gan and was finished at 7.15. The of fice and a full day's work followed, until his ride In the evening. He trav eled light, a valise and small kit-bag containing everything he possessed. "'Time in war is everything' was his favorite axiom. 'Every officer,' he said, 'ought to have it inscribed on his shaving glass.' His work and actions were governed by this maxim. He was never lale for an appointment "He possessed great personal mag netism, especially for his troops. On the eve of every operation he was ac customed to send out encouraging mes sages to the soldiers, and he made a point of presenting medals immediate ly after any action to those who had distinguished themselves. Delay In this, he maintained, defeated the ob ject aimed at Only a few days before his death he traveled sixty miles by airplane for this purpose."

In a fit of despondency, presumably superin duced by worrying over financial mat ters, Ernest Dudlor, 41 years old, mar ried, of 806 East Twenty-first South street, placed a .38 caliber revolver to his head at 3:55 o'clock yesterday aft-) ernoon, as he sat on a bench near the southwestern entrance of the park sur rounding the city and county building, nnd sent a bullet crashing through his brain, which resulted in his death an hour later. A note found in the vest pocket of the dying mun, hinted at. but did not reveal, the reason for his morbid men tal condition.

Governor Simon Bamberger yesterday announc ed that changes have been made in the personnel of local draft boards in three counties as follows: Summit county W. B. Wilson of Park City to succeed A. C. Hortin or Coalville." , x Iron county Alfred Boyd to suc ceed J. P. Fife. m Utah county Arch M. Thurman to succeed L. E. Eggertsen. Out of nearly 300 attorneys In Salt Lake county who were called to service with the legal advisory board only five have failed to take the necessary oath and accept assignment, according to James H. Wolfe, chairman of the Salt Lnke county legal advisory board ex ecutive committee. "Response of the legal profession to the call of the president to assist reg istrants has been splendid," Mr. Wolfe said yesterday. "Almost unanimously the attorneys have accepted and filled their assignments without complaint and In a splendid spirit of teamwork Throughout the country thousands of attorneys are giving voluntary aid to registrants, but It is doubtful if any where the response has been so uni versal and the machinery any smooth er than in this community. This is due entirely to the splendid spirit of pa triotism prevailing among members of the Utah bar." The interest of men liable to the se lective draft, who, through ignorance or inability to read and speak English, fail to safeguard themselves, will be protected by the government, accord ing to information received by the dis trict board from Washington, D. C.

The Methodist Epis- JM copal church takes the following posi- ! .HH tlon on dancing: (H "Some amusements in common use 11 are positively demoralizing and fur- j nlsh the first ea6y steps to the total j loss of character. We lift up a note of iJM solemn Avarnlng and entreaty, partlca- M larly against theater-going and danc- , H Ing." We affectionately admonish all 1 j our people to make the question of : H their amusements tho subject of care- f ! fill thought and frequent prayer, to I IH study the subject of amusements imthe ; H light of their tendencies, and to bo H scrupulously careful in the matter to set no injurious example. We adjure them to remember that often the quea- tion for a. Christian must be, not whether a 'ceVtaln course of action is positively Immoral, but whether it will IV dull the spiritual life and be an unwise H example."
