Says War Makes Women Divine.
Will Trwin. special war correspondent
of the American magazine, contributes
to tin- January number of that publica
tion an article entitled "Hats Off to
France" in which ho devotes a large part
to showing what the women are doing
tor their country how they have taken
hold and are doing pretty nearly every
thing that their able-bodied- husbands
and sons used to do. Following is a
little extract from the article:
"In the intervals between their other
cares, the women knit-knit eternally
and to lietter urpose than those Pari
sian women who knitted about the guil
lotine when heads were falling. Winter
is coming on. it will be cold campaign
ing along the great line. The boys will
need warm stockings and muffler. The
preat spinning districts of the north be
ing in Ionium bands, the supply of yarn
is tailing short. Madame is raveling her
knitted articles of household adornment
for yarn.
"It was one of these knitting women
who Mummed up for me all the woman
hood of France in this period of tragic
sues. 1 had stopped at an inr on the
road 1st ween Havre and (nudeliec. The
waitress laid down her knit tint! as she
lose to serve me. When she had attend
ed to my wants, she took it up again.
She was of the blond. Norman type, a
comely girl enough. She was dressed in
Mack. and the outlines of her eyes were
blurred. In her pose over the knitting,
in every move f her. appeared a divini
ty of grief - a Midonna ipiality.
"I watched her a long time surrepti
tiously liefnre "he railed up a memory.

lively, impudent American waitress who
keeps her wits -.harp by bandying repar

our playwright ove. Now, she was do

pose that war such as this with its
wholesale machine-made murder, renders
most men brutes, at least for the time.
But it renders women divine."
New Life in the Country.
In these flays of numberless organiza
tions -corking for woman's lienetlt. we
often forget that much of the very liest
effort is in rural America. In fact, the
I first to appreciate the larger part woman
is playing in nctual progress was the
National grange, with over thirty thous
and sulioidinute granges in forty-four
j states. Kroin its lowest to its highest
order woman is included. Here many
practical problems of the home have been
discussed and solved, lhousamls of meet
ings in all parts of the country w ill be
held next summer. These women are
serious, practical and progressive. They
have made the American home the finest
thing on earth, and they are constantly
making it better. In several state are
agricultural and horticultural societies
for women given to the vocations of the
towns and farms. The National Farm
Women's congress is several years old,
and this year's increase in tW number
of women attending the agricultural
schools and colleges, especially in the tie
partments devoted t home economics is
unprecedented. It means new methods,
new efforts and new life all through the
i:ind. Woman's work is bring harnessed
in science and ax-stem. Editorial, in

NEUTRALITY OF THE AIR.
Switierland Raises Important Question
Following British Aviator's Act.
(Correspondence of the Associated Press)
London, Dec. 2-1. Now that Switzer
land has raised the point tliat, in flying
over her territory, British aviators who
dropped tombs on the Zepplin sheds at
Friedrichsliafen violated Swiss neutrali
ty, British lawyers have asked the even
more novel question as to whether the
recognition of air sovereignity logically
involves the prohibition of wireless com
munication by nations at war.
In other words, if the passage of an
airship through the air of a neutral
country, is a violation of neutrality, how
about a message sent through the air?
The question, as fantasttc as it may
wem, raises a nii-e point in international
law one that may yet have to be
thrashed out at some future conference.
Great Britain expressed regret that
her aviators crossed Swiss territory, but
she emphasized at the same time that
she did not coii'-ede sovereignity of the
air to anyone. On this point lawyer dis
agree. Knglish courts have held in the
past that there can be no trespass where
free air is concerned. In the 1'nited
States, on the other hand, the city of
Cleveland, '.. contested in the courts
ind lost in ft iase where it erected a
bridge, part of which projected in the
air over the property of a tax payer. For
this privilege the city was forced to pay
ten thousand dollars.
Brititdi legal opinion thus far voiced
seems to Is' th.it the air is private or
Ktate property only insofar as it is ef
fectively occupied. That is to nay. ef
fective occupation consists at present of
domninsting the atmosphere to the limit
of modern range- say seven thousand
feet. "1 ca-n not see," said a lawyer,
"that : country would lie guilty of a
breach of neutrality if an aeroplane pass
ed over it at a height toy .Mid the range
of control. I hold that the air space above
the globe is free to the use of the air
craft of all nations, and is only subject
to such rights a are required by the
subjacent powers for their recctive
protection sgint attack, espionage, in-f.-ction,
Infringement of tiscjil rights and
danger to life and property of their sub

' ready for the auction tho lady of high
est rank with whom the privilege to
dance first was to be nuctioned stood
on a dais and the bidding began. A
goodly sum was realized, and the oth
ers took their turns. Lastly Lady
Gladys stood up before the assembly.
A rich cotton spinner wbo bad learn
ed of the duke's necessities and had
loaned him money started the bidding
with T00. This man. MacCormack. '
was trying to put the duke under sucti
obligations that he would consent to
give him Lady Gladys In marriage. A
man In the garb of an American miner
! woolen shirt, sombrero and boots to
his knees-raised the cotton spinner's
bid 100. The cotton spinner went up
a hundred more, and It was not long
before these two were climbing over
each other a hundred pounds at a time
till the miner raised the otber 1.(XI0.
At the price it would tost 5.000. or
S23.0OO. to dance the flrt dance with
the lady. .Since the cotton spinner bad
not much hope of getting her in mar
riage he retired from the contest, and
the privilege was knocked down to the
i miner.
I Cries were now heard. "Unmask!"
and the successful bidder advanced to
the front of the dais and removed his
luce covering. Lady Gladys started.
. "A stranger!"
I "Who Is he?"
"Give your name!"
These were some of the cries that
came from all parts of the room. The
stranger, turning, faced the crowd and
cald:
' "I am Alan Itedwood. earl of Attes
borongh." Old friends gathered round the new
comer to hear his story He bad reach
ed America shortly before gold was
discovered In California and bad mad
the Journey there across the great
American desert and the Rocky moun
tains. He had taken some goods with
him and sold them at a great profit.
The proceeds he bad Invested In mlu
Ing property and bad become very
rich.
The duke wns now glad enough to
give his daughter to ber former suitor,
who cleared his estate of Its Indebted
ness ami hud plenty over.
