 ing the War

The Central Labor exchange offices were be- sieged by women Saturday Most of them were from the well to-do middle class. They were considered by the of- fcials to he best fitted.
 One woman of good position offered to drive delivery wagon. Another write:
 T am the mother of five soldiers and sailors. and l want to do my little bit t) release further men to go and fight"
 A member of a prominent womens club said she would drive a taxicab. Some vol unteered to do milking in dairies while others offered to do clerical and secre- tarial work.
 An official of the labor exchange said it probably would be found advisable to shift women from one position to another to find the post for which they are best qualified. sift out those capable of do- ing armament work or entering other skilled trades.
 The labor press continues strongly to oppose war service for women.

Paris remained calm while the herial invasion was in progress and residents of the city exhibited more curiosity than fear. Trumpets gave the signal that all lights must be extinguished as soon as warning was received of the zeppelin's approach. Searchlights were turned on the clouds, anti-aircraft guns opened fire and aeroplanes rose to attack the Ger mans, but their operations were ham, pered by heavy mist.
 RAID SHOWS WORTH
 OF DEFENSE PLAN
 An official communication regarding the raid declares it served only to show how well the defensive arrangements would work out when put to the test The statement follows:
 Between 1:15 o'clock and o'clock this morning four Zeppelins started toward Paris from the direction of Compeigne, following the valley of the Disc. Two were compelled to return before reaching Paris, one at Rouen Q0 miles north of Paris), the other at Nantes Con the Seine, g6 miles from Paris). The other two were attacked by antiair craft guns and only passed over outlying districts of the northwestern part of Paris and neighbor- ing suburbs. They withdrew after having dropped dozen bombs. some of which did not explode. The damage done vas unimportant. Seven or eight ,rsons were injured. but only one seriously.
 SEARCHLIGHTS PLAY
 UPON ZEPPELINS
 'vrhe different stations for anti-aircraft defense opened fire upon the zeppelins, which were constantly kept illumined by searchlights. One appeared to have been hit. The aeropiane squadron took part in the action. but mist hampered pursuit
 Summing up, the Zeppelin raid on Paris was complete failure. It served only to demonstrate how well the defen- / sive arrangements work. The population was calm. On their way back the Zep- pelins dropped a dozen incendiary or explosive bombs on Compeigne, doing only unimportant damage. Three bombs were dropped on Rihecourt and Dresin- court to the north of Compiegne, without 1esult.'
