THE GIRLS JOB

Two long and somewhat despair
ing letters have come to me from q
girl VINO has been trying to get q pc
sition as chauffeur. She is Bohe
milan, and was an adept at her work
before coming here. running public
taxis in Prague and other cities. And
yet here she cannot get a thing To
do.
Il Ia only recently that women
have been looked upon as capable
OF managing automobiles here Ia
America. One company now en-
ploys women in showing It's cars. and
apparently Is satisfied with the ex.
pertinent. and there are a few WON
en- running light public taxis In some
OF the large cities. But girls who
are anxious TO do this sort % work
must face the fact that the demand
IL still very small.
They claim that they arc more de-
pendable than men. that they do not
drink and are not so apt TO have &C.
cidents And especially they think
thar other women ought to be glad
to employ them
The truth is that women almost
Invariably want a man at the wheel.
A woman feels more secure with a
man. whether or not she Is justified
in this feeling No doubt this preju-
dice against women as chauReurs
will wear out az II has in many
places abroad. but driving a taxicab
lis a precarious job as yet, and I don't
advise girls who must make money
to take 1t up ut present
The Girl who has written me has
hcen obliged To go into factory work
at six dollars a week. since she has
no skill In any other job. and natu-
ally she Is having a hard time. IL
any OF you are planning TO be chauf.
feurs. see that you have something
else TO fall back on while you look
for a job, that's all.
Az for woman's capacity to do
Tie work. there Is no question 40 to
that. She Is good at II when she
takes 1t up. and the time will GER
tainiy come when this fact will be
recognized. and her other qualifica-
tons will aid in making her q favor
tie where now she Ia hardly wanted.

fighting on the hill But the section
around the flag had been torn away
from the main battle line and whirled
backward down the hill. partially de-
tached from the main bodies of French
and Germans.
There were perhaps a hundred Ger
mans beating down thirty Frenchmen
around the flag.
Into the vortex OF this almost In.
human struggle, where a life went out
every second. and groans were mixed
with curses, and walls of agony
blended with shouts OF triumph-into
this reeking and bleeding mess,
straight toward the wavering flag went

Thrilled with his triumph, glorying
In the sacrifice he was about to make,
he thrust his book back into his
pocket, and faced the men to make
the last appeal, something from his
own heart, clothed In his own elo-
quence, q speech he had long ago
framed for some such moment OF
greatness. But even as he opened his
mouth, before he could utter the first
word oil. his peroration, there came
an interruption that held him and all
the others spellbound
There was first furious outburst

There was a tattered flag that
wavered and dipped and rose again
and dipped and rose In the thick of a
terrific hand-tohand encounter-men
in fury OF battle fighting around
the nag. And the flag was the tri-
eolor-merely "three strips Of bunt-
ing sewn together" as Duprez had
said.
And 1t was retreating. The French
line on the hill had been broken and
this fragment. with the flag In its
center, was being forced back and
German hands were at the very
throat Of the fiag-bearer
Back they came, back down the
hill, the Frenchmen rallying again and
again around the flag, again and again
thrown away from 1t, again and again
finging themselves to save 1t. God
of battles, what a sight!
And then the watching knot of men
caught sight of the color-bearer him.

stan clutched to his breast with one
hand while with the other he thrust
at enemies right and left with some
weapon they could not see.
In an instant he was swallowed up
again.
There were sights that were new
and fearful to the men in the road,
In their new uniforms, with their vet
unused guns lying in the dust before
them.
They heard death-cries, saw death
itself. They thrilled at the sight of a
youth who. flung out of the struggling
mass, maddened with pain and shrek
ing shrilly, ran and threw himself ON
the ground and began tearing up the
sod with his fingers.
They are dying!" murmured Du-
PREF. "Our brothers--there-are dy-
ing!"
Suddenly, as suddenly as he had
thrown 1t at his feet, Duprez whirled
and ran and picked up his rifle and
bayonet in the road and was back
again to face his command.
They're dying!" he cried fiercely.
Pick up your rifles, men! We must
save them!"
He saw a wondering look on the
faces before him.
I'VE VIII save them!" he shouted.
And then: "Tillier! Duval! Mar
tineau! All! Your guns!"
They were already picking them up
from the dust.
Forward"
They leaped as one man from the
road to the green grass of the hillside.
Fix bayonets!"
The voice Of Duprez rang across the
fields. above the sounds of battle.
"Charge!"
They were only twenty-one--a mere

 A Hull in the neutrality campaign Of the department of justice is expected to follow todays developments-the return of indictments in San Francisco in con nection with enlistments for the British army and the delivering of supplies to German warships and the indictment in Chicago against the Montenegrin off cials. Department agents are said to be watching developments in New York that may lead to further arrests in con
 nectipn with British enlistments but the case against the Montenegrins is believed to be complete.
 Although little information concerning
 the San Francisco prosecutions had
 reached Washington tonight. it was said that the case of the men accused or supplying the German ships is one of the most interesting developed by govern ment agents in many months. The indict-
 ments<Nvere asked because of alleged vio-
 lation of the neutrality laws by the
 steamship Sacramento formerly of the
 Hamburg American line. Late last fall
 the Sacramento cleared from San Fran
 cisco for Valparaiso. and. according to the department s Sevidence. while at sea
 turned over most of her cargo of sup
 plies to the German squadron Of war
 ships which subsequently, was destroyed
 off the Falkland islands by a British fleet.
 Reports to Washington say that when the Sacramento sailed from San Francisco
 she had aboard as a "stowaway' an oni-
 cer of the German navy or naval reserve,
 and that when she steamed few miles
 outside the Golden Gate this man ap-
 peared on deck, virtually took charge Of
 the vessel and got into communication
 by wireless with the German fleet. Ar irving at Valparaiso, the Sacramento laid
 up for the war
