WOMEN AS ARMY RECRUITS.
Novel Plan Being Work Out by British
War Office.

LONDON, May although Great
Britain is not yet ready to give women
a voice in the government, the wal
office authorities are not at all back
ward in accepting their services in
pursuading young men to enlist in the
| regular army.
A novel recruiting campaign was be-
gun today in the London borough of
Camberwell in which 300 women and
girls of that section are playing lead
ing roles. They are distributing from
house to house an attractively printed
and illustrated pamphlet drawing at
tention to the delights of army life
There are $4,000 houses in the bor-
ough, and before the week is out it is
planned to place copy of the publica-
ton in the hands of every man in the
place, Besides the women have agreed
to do all they can in a personal way to
procure enlistments. In order to slim
ulate the recruiting the was office has
arranged for daily parades and drills
of various branches of the service in
the streets, and the display of the
army moving picture film in the local
picture palaces.
The Camberwell plan will be follow
ed IN other London boroughs and pro-
vincial towns if it proves a success
there. The war office has been frank
ly worried of late on account of the
remarkable falling eff of enlistments |
in recent months and the increasing |
number of assertions.

$4,000 PICTURE SOLD FOR S..

NAPLES, May 5.-An old lay sister
of the convent of Santa Chiara is
awaiting trial here on the charge of
stealing valuable pictures presented to
the institution by the late Abbess, Sour
immaculate, who was formerly
duchess of an ancient Italian family.
The nun, who was the abbess' atten-
dant, appears to have been under the
impression that after the latters' death
the pictures became her property. One
of them which she sold to a Neapolitan
dealer for S. was later sold in Paris
for $4,000.
