Berlin, Germany.-Conscription for
women-or rather for girls-is the
latest OF the great reforms which Ger
many promises the world.
A heated debate mas been raging on
the subject. Scores of distinguished
Germans like Field-Marshal Won der
Goltz, ex-Minister Of Education Won

The problem is well within the

1t not for the unceasing financial
need Of Germany It would probably
be carried out within a few years.
What form exactly conscfiptIon for
women will take is still under dispute.
A few zealous-mostly srffragettes-
seriously propose that women be
trained to fight in war. A much larg-
er class-among them Won der Goltz
want women organized into compa-
lies and battalions. and drilled and
disciplined on military principles, but
confined. as far as duties go, to army
tailoring. army cooking and SICK nur-
sing.
The wOmen's army would be an ad.
junct to the men army. and all the
males Of the nation would be free to
hight their country's battles.
Neither Of these schemes is likely
to win. The proposal most seriously
backed is that women shall be drilled
and disciplined on military lines for
the sake Of physique and character
formation, but that they shall learn
nothing except purely domestic du-
ties.
