RELEASE A MAN"

RELEASE A MAN"
ITO the women OF Britain:
q. You have read what the Germans have
done in Belgium. Have you thought what they
would do if they invaded this country?
D. Do you realize that the safety of your
home and children depend on our getting more
men now?
"3. Do you realize that the one word 90
from you may send another man to fight TOR
our King and country?
- When the war is over and some one asks
your husband or your son what he did in the
great war. is he to hang his head because you
would not let him go?
Wont you help and send man to join the
army today
ITO the young women OF London;
is your best boy wearing khaki? If not,
don't you think he should be?
IF he does not think that you and your
country are worth fighting for-do you think
he is worthy of you2
Don't pity the girl who is alone-her young
man IS probably solder-hghting for her
and her country-and for you.
IF your young man neglects his duty to
his King and country, the time may come when
he will neglect you
Think it over-then ask him to join the
army to-day
Thus does mildly scathing government re-
mind its subjects OF the part Englishwomen
are expected to play in transforming husbands,
sons and suitors into fighters. Anything too
effective would not be in keeping with the calls
extended 70 the men: Lads, you are wanted!
Why not jon?" o. Boys we may need
YOU. Better get in training" or even few
chosen sentiments OF Pericles printed in small
type in the subway ads. As you stand and
read these great posters the glorious day of
CONSUMPTION looms az bright in the future as
the Emancipation Proclamation ever did.
] am sure both the sexes like better: WON
release him for duty al the iront?" Get busy
Quick so some man get INT quick While
little has been made by the government so
far OF the nuddle that $4,000 women on their
hands mean, much has been made of their
opportunity by women themselves. They have
gone after the mems jobs, so that now we see
chauffeurs. ticket punchers, bus conductors,
policemen, milkmen, messenger boys and even
ploughmen replaced by women. If the men
haven't gone into the new army they must
have gone 10 the workhouse.
If you want to know how the women like
it, you must ask them while the job is young
everybody is voluble about a new job, even an
English grl-before they begin to look around
for something more thrilling You simply
can't miss them now; they attract all the at
tention that used to go 10 the khaki. Chaufeurs
are the pets, and circus procession in Picca-
iilly could not line the curb with more de-
und car, piled high with sacks of spring greens
md potatoes, joints of mutton and beef and
,iloted by so sklful girl driver that she has
,een invited. if you please, to lecture on
mechanics in training garage.
Here is girl whose father said the big
Cor TO her and was so anxious that she
hould do her bit" that he himself has taught
er everything about car and the running of y.
, and is as proud Of her job as he is OF his
on's. Has she released man? oh, yes You
&c. driving a car for the food fund was a thing
zen ciamored 10 do. In the beginning OF
,ings one avoided unpleasing applications of
