The suffragettes further declare that
the use of the women in these positions
at the rear would free thousands OF
able bodied men for duty within the
ring line and that their demand ought
therefore,, to be welcomed by every
minister of war. A small section of tho
sufrragettes go even further and de-
mand the right to serve as soldiers 10
ing exactly what Is required OF the

The idea In this case Is that the mil

seriously.
