"OUR DAILY BREAD"

TEXT OF KAISER'S BIRTHDAY SERMON FRIGHTFULNESS FROM THE PULPIT New York, January 29. ' : A United Press Agency dispatch from Berlin states that at the service in the Cathedral on tho Kaiser's birthday, during the reading of the Lord's Prayer, emphasis was laid on the words: "Give us this day our daily bread." The Court chaplain-, ( Dr. Dryander, in his sermon, said: [ Before us is tho decisive tattle, requiring the greatest sacrifice. Wo neither willod nor wanted this war. The Kaiser extended tho hand of peace, but with unprecedented frivolity and insults our enemies slapped that hand. To such enemies there > is only one voice—cannon. God cannot permit tho Germans to go down." The service was attended by Royalty and tho highest nobles, officials, " and diplomats.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. THE PINCH OF WINTER TN BERLIN. Paris, January 29. The "Petit Parisien's" correspondent at Zurich states that 23 Berlin schools have been closed owing to lack of coal. WOMEN'S WORK IN WARTIME RIGHTS OF SEX ASSERTED. London, January 29. Mr. Nevillo Chamberlain's decision not to make a simultaneous appeal to men and women has caused chagrin in many women's societies, who propose that a committee of prominent women who have proved their usefulness m the war should bo appointed to enrol and draft women into duties suitable to their trading ability without interference by men. . . Lady Frances Bflli'oiir urges that it is'impossible to separate civilians into eoses with regard to national service. Mr Chamberlain's introduction or box makes an artificial difference which is bound to render the scheme inefficient. The whole of the people should bo included immediately on the same basis. Miss Mary Macarthur (secretary ol the Women's Trade 'Union-League and National Federation, of Women) claims that women should receive a. minimum living wage and 16s. weekly ertra when away from home, as Mr. Clumfolam promised the men. This would mean a. revolution in women's wages.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn. WOMEN TO FILL SHELLS. ' (Rec. January 30, (5.5 p.m.) London, January 30.
