camp. No student will be enrolled for
less than two weeks, and plans are be-
Ing made to have 200 resident students
and 800 day pupils each fortnight.

into ten companies of fifty each, a cap
tain and lieutenant to be chosen to com
mand each company.
The camp school will be open to all
native-born women over eighteen years
of age, whose applications are acceptable
to the committee in charge and who are
members, or intend to become members,
OF the Woman's Section of the Navy
League. Each candidate must present a
certificate from her physician that she is
physically able to endure the out-Of-dOOr
life and camp routine
There isn't going to be much play
about being lady soldier. Recruits will
be put through a stif round of routine.
But health and comfort will be looked
after, too, for a physician and trained
nurses will be in residence and a Red
Cross relief station will be established
on the camp ground.
Ask any of the gentleman soldiers
who camped out at Plattsburg last sum-
mer, or at some of the other civilian mil
itary camps, what they considered the
one drawback about being a soldier.
Sentry duty! That's what they would
probably answer
In that respect the lady soldiers will
be allowed a little leeway. They won't
have to pace up and down a beaten path,

Along little different line will be the
preparation given the women who enlist
IN the camp at Washington. The main
object of the National Service School of
the Woman's Section of the Navy League
is to give an opportunity to American
women to acquire sufficient special train
ing to be OF use in time of war or ma
tlonal calamity. They will study mill
tary calisthenics, surgical dressings and
bandage-making, diatetics, invalid cook
Ing and scientific bed-making.
Those courses will be compulsory. In
addition, there will be plenty of elective
studies for the women in camp. These
will include signal work, under the di-
rectton of naval and other experts, hello
graphing, wig-wagging, cipher study,
code work and plain and wireless teleg-
raphy
Beside that the National Service
School committee has arranged with the
American Red Cross to supply nurses
and instructors to coach the women in
home care of the sick, in hygiene and
sanitation and principles of first aid.
Camps similar to the one in Washing
ton are also planned in PHILADELPHIA and
Baltimore And in Cleveland society
women and club women have already
taken up preparedness seriously. Just
for the practice of the thing, they are
planning to learn how to handle rcvolv-
ers and how 10 shoot and how to drive
automobiles, in case they are ever needed

ganization that believes in preparedness
for women.
Miss Simonton handles a gun like a
Wild West cowboy, and she has one
notch in the handle of a revolver she
brought back from Africa, for she killed
a mana savage-who tried to loot her
trunk there. Miss Simonton, who lives
in New York, has faced every danger
except matrimony-an she isn't afraid
to go to war
Although she probably won't get the
chance to lead a woman's regiment into
Mexico, Miss Simonton is pushing the
work of the American Women's Ieague
for Self Defense. 1t is indorsed by Ma
lor General Wood and aims to drill
women in armories and prepare them for
active work in times of war. Anv WON
an Joining the league will learn how to
use a regulation rife, and will be taught
IN trapshooting practice to hit some
thing. In war times the women plan to
go to the front and make up the second
line of defense. They will give first aid
treatment, run soup kitchens and encour-
age the men to fight.
The Washington herald., 1916-04-09

Two months before the time set for
the opening Of the Washington camp for
women there had been $50 enrolIments
The recruits included the daughters Of
prominent officials, young women Of the
army and navy contingent, society girls
and also girls who will shut up their
typewriters to spend their fortnight's
vacation under military discipline.
The lady soldiers have a brilliant list
of sponsors who are members of the
committee. One is Mrs. George Dewey,
wife Of Admiral Dewey. Two from the
military set are Mrs. Hugh L. Scott.
wife of the chief of staff of the United
States army, and Mrs. George Barnett,
wife of the commandant of the United
States marine corps.
Here are some committee members
whose names are we'll known in Wash
ington social life: Miss Elizabeth Eli
colt Poe, chairman; Mrs. Henry F. Ash
urst, Mrs. Gibson Fahnestock, Mrs.
Frank G. Odenheimer, Mrs. c. L. Hussey,
Mrs. James H. Oliver, Mrs. John Callan
O'Loughlin, Mrs. Richard Wainwright,
Mrs. Sidney Ballou, Mrs. Mary Logan
Tucker Mrs. Edward McCauley, Jr.,
Mrs. Vylla Wilson Poe and Mrs. Spencer
Wood.
Another woman who is a leader in a
different branch of personal preparedness
for the emergency of war is Miss Jane
Delano, for many years director of the
nursing corps of the American Red
Cross. She is in charge of a campaign
for training women in the fundamentals
of hygiene, nursing and first aid, and or
ganizing them as auxiliaries to the regu-
uar hoso't"l columns and nursing serv-
ice of the Red Cross.

or course, they're not actually gOf7g
to fight. But they are enlisting-not in
a Intted States lady's army. but in the
National Service School Of the WOman's
Section of the Navy League. Girls and
young women are going to be trained
just like their brothers were at PIatts-
burg, n. Y. last summer.
They will be lady "rcokies" They
will have a regular military camp on
the outskirts of Washington 1t is 90

four weeks, perhaps longer. Fer. if the
experiment proves successful. other
camps will be established in various cit
les throughout the country where women
are enthusiastically taking up prepared
ness-not as a fad. but as a serious
proposition Of national defense.
The lady soldiers will wear military

will be women who will mobilize for
other forms of warfare except the kill

fngtOn is to be for-to train women how
to carry their share of the burden in
war times
Now, that is the way society women of
Washington figured out woman's sphere
in the war game. Then along came the
Mexican crisis and it gave such an i'm
petus to preparedness for women that the

became so fired with patriotic zeal that

The Republicans have not, on the
face of the returns, overcome the
Democratic majority in Congress.
With about 100 congressional districts
still to be heard from, the Republicans
had made a net gain OF eight members
in the house, but late returns from
New York indicated that two of these
might be reversed.
With a net gain of eight, it would
leave the house with a Democratic
majority of seven.
In the Senate the Democrats show
ed losses from New York, New Jer-
sey and Maryland. The indications
were they would lose the two sena-
tors from Indiana, n from West Vir-
ginia, and possibly one each in Ohio,
Montana and Arizona. The Demo
Gratis, however, gained three senators
from Rhode Island. Delaware and
Utah. Conceding all probable Repub-
