NAL times. A large proportion of them
are women.
Already there are three cities provided
with well established stations, where
women are busly engaged in looking
after the woman end of the project.
These are New York, Chicago and Phila-
delphia, and the amount of work already
accompl shed in these places has proven
the wisdom of such an arrangement, and
Secretary Wilson has recently ordered
the extension TO other stations as soon
as it is practicable and the funds will
permit.
Washington, too. is already in line
though in a small way, as the station
here is yet in its infancy. there being
but one woman engaged upon its in
vestigations. Applications have poured
in upon Mrs Julia f. Cole. who has
been delegated to meet the women who
come to her for Information and help.
She has already filled a number of
wants for both employers and women
seeking work and has a long list of
both classes to which she is giving her
attention.
Because of the fact that this new
venture of the government is so little
known, the demand for help in Wash
ington now is greater than the supply
of places and for that reason active
work is planned among the women S
organizations of the Capital city. While
most of the applicants want positions
of domestic service, there are many
women clamoring for employment of
all kinds.
Mrs. Cole personally investigates not
only the references brought by the ap-

plicants for work but also the char
acter of the places and the people who
apply to her to find them help.
The amount of work done in the vari-
Gus distribution zones varies greatly,
as is shown by the statistics for each
month. For example, in September
last. in the first zone. Boston and its
subbranches had but six applications
for help; the number of persons ap-
piled for was fifty-nine, the applica-
tions received were twenty-five. one
person was referred to employment and
one person actually employed.
Take Chicago next, as it offers the
greater contrast and also the greatest
activity For September the Windy
city has nlnety-five opportunities or
applications for help; 1i6 persons were
applied for, 4.4s0 applications were re-
ceived; 2,5O5 were referred to employ
ment and 2,492 were actually employed.
Chicago is the tenth zone.
The figures for the whole eighteen
zones and their eighty sub branches for
the month of September show that
there were 1.2G4 applications for help;
4.551 persons applied for; 1884 appli-
cations received. 5,671 referred to
places of employment and 5.f05 people
actually received employment.
So thorough is this plan that both
classes of applicants for the assistance
of the federal employment bureaus
stations are provided with printed ap-
plication blanks, which must be I'll ed

In each of the stations there will be
placed trained men and women who
will put forth their best efforts to eff
feet satisfactory connections between
the man or woman who wants a job
and the person who has job to fill.
Moreover, plans are under way to
make the scheme known to the public.
The first OF these contemplates the

With the belief that women may be
able to better aid in the scheme Of
getting work for women. the plan in
cludes the appointment of woman Of
ficials in these stations: and to them
women may apply for assistance in Sc
curing work of any description.

yeloped will include in it's extensive

applicant would be willing to go Tor

When this has been filled out and
signed it is to be returned to the post
master or transmitted through the
rural mail carrier or through the ON
Ger in charge of any branch post office,
whereupon it will be forwarded to the
proper Office of the Department OF

cant will be notified when the kind Of

This same process is followed in the
stations, except that the applicant has
the advantage of the personal appeal.
and in talking his needs over with the
official in charge he is able to go more
into detail than is possible II he makes
his application by mail.
This is considered much the better
way, because it gives the officer a bet
ter idea of the person for whom he or
she is working and also a clearer idea
OF the ability, general fitness, training,
etc, and the sort of situation in
which the applicant would be likely
to do the best work
Here too. there is the opportunity for
employer and would-be employe to be

How They Shoots AT the Tower of London

Some one is usually told off to stand
guard over a condemned man on the
night before his execution and also
with view to cheering him in his last
hours, and in at least one of such cases.
the story goes. the parts were exactly
reversed, the prisoner "a man of sixty
having been more or less stoical and
having devoted himself to 'buckinE
up his guard, who was considerably
upset.
All the spies have died unfiinchinsiy
and many have testified, spontaneously.
to the fairness of their trial. The man
who went furthest in this respect was
Gustaf Ahlers. who is said to have left
a complete confession OF how he helped
to plan the Scarborough bombardment
and gave other information of the ut
most value to the British admiralty.
This, partly, as retaliation Tor the
action of the German government,
which he served faithfully and which
later, disowned him.

LONDON, November 5. 1915.
TN England, since the war began,
eight persons charged with es-
pionage have been found guilty and
sentenced to death by shooting. The
most recent case was only the other
week, when a man and woman of Ger
man origin were found guilty of at
tempting to communicate to persons
abroad information regarding the Brit
ish fleet, with the intention of assist
ing the enemy.
The male prisoner was sentenced to
be shot. and the female one. who was
considered by the court to have been
acting under the influence of the man.
to be kept in penal servitude for ten
years This is the first occasion on
which woman spy has been sentenced
to penal servitude since the war pc
gan.
Previously seven spies have bsen SEN
fenced to death-Lody. Muller, Rosen-
Kuepferle hanged himself in Brixton
prison during his trial, and his COM
panion, Hahn, was sentenced to seven
years penal SerVitude.
When a spy has been condemned to
be shot he is handed over at once to
the military authorities and the SEN
tence is carried out at the Tower of
London. that historic place of many
tragic happenings. An acquaintance Of
the writer's who is member of the
Artists Rifles. the regiment that is
quartered at the tower. states that the
shooting of spies has been reduced to
an absolute system From his descrip-
tion Of the ceremony the chief object
of those who have elaborated it ap-
pears to have been to avoid unnne~ving
not the prisoner, though the thing is
done as humanely as possible, but his
eXecutioners.
When the fateful moment for the ex-
ecution of spy arrives the doomed
man is brought out and seated in. a
chair, to which he is pinioned securely.
This is to prevent his falling after he
has been shot, a sight that was found

have worked hard during our three
years of existence, and the results are
now beginning to justify our existence
in a practical manner. Our association
is now represented in forty eight states
of the Union and in the District of Co
lurbia
The organization had It's origin IN
the Grand Army of the Republic. and
its founder, Mr.. Lewis. was national
patriotic Instructor for two terms.
While serving in this capacity Mr..
Lewis saw an opportunity of broaden
ing the work he had conducted upon
sectional lines to embrace a project of
national scope. and correspoudingly
fruitful in results. We know no north
and no south. and there Is no distinc-
tion between the Blue and the Gray in
our organizations; il is for the country
at-large, and l am pleased to state that
we have a number of southern mem
bers who are working earnestly for an
undivided nation.
The main general idea of the work
OF the association is to inculcate les
sons OF patriotism and love of country,
with practical knowledge of the Con-
stitution and of the government of the
United States, and reverence for the
nations flag, and It's preservation from
dissertation In short. to sew the seed
of good citizenship throughout the
land. The work is conducted along
many lines adapted to the needs OF
the situation. 1t may not always have
a red. white and blue ring to 1t, but the
teaching of American patriotism under
lies all our efforts.

q - September. there was a strong
and serious uudercurreut OF patriotism
evidenced at every gathering. This was
not wholly accounted for by the
casion. nor because Of the tremendous
war wagine in Europe which has turn
ed every thinking mind TO the question
Of home defense, but it may have been
a combination of these two circun-
stances together with the strong and
steady movement toward greater and
more obvious patriotism which has been
sweeping through the land during late
years
AT the national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic held in
California in 1912. Mr. John B. Lewis,
national patriotic Instructor of the G.
j. r., felt that this dormant fund Of
patriotism was awaiting awakening
hand to make it a powerful element for
higher and broader American citizen-
ship, and he accordingly founded the
order OF the National Association Of
Patriotic Instructors, associatinK with
him officers a number of men and
women who, with motives akin to his
own. would successfully carry on the
work. At the last encampment of the
O. A. X. IT was realized that this or
ganization was fulfilling large and
noble work.
The secretary of this movement from
its beginning has been Mrs. Elizabeth
Robbins Berry of Cambridge. Mass.
and during the late encampment in
this city she did valiant service
for the cause, both in the headquarters
of the association and in speaking be-
fore the various affiliated organiza-
ttons which met at that time Before
