WOMEN NOT ENLISTED

War Departments Statement on
Points Raised in Communica-
tion to The Star.

Opportunity to set forth the facts
as to "enlistments" of women in the

the army and navy. is furnished by a
communication to The Star from Mrs
Mary Ellen Smith.
Il have heard many people wondering
why there are not more men willing to
enlist in the army and navy" Mrs
Smith writes. She then explains that
the single women that enlist" receive
So a month. while the men with
families that enlist receive the large
sum of $15"
Inquiry proves that many people are
under the impression Mrs. Smith has
of the matter
Not Enlisted" Is the Answer.
But women. either single or married.
are not enlisted in either the army or

and married men, especially those hav-
ing many children. are not enlisted in
the army, except In rare instances, the
policy being to enlist only young un-

AS to pay. soldiers in their first en-
listment get SIS a month in cash, and

ments, etc. amounting in all to about

OF course. women are employed in the
army as nurses and in munition fac
tories, but they are not enlisted as
such. The rank and file of the army is
limited by law to able bodied male
citizens.
Services as "Yeomen" Explained.
Neither are women actually enlisted
in the navy. Recently. in order to
meet the stress of war preparations,
the Navy Department adopted the pol
icy of utilizing the services of women
as "yeomen" in the navy in order to
release the men SO employed for service
aboard ships IN commission. These
women, however. were "enroIled for
four years in the reserve for duty
ashore" and not enlisted in the legal
sense of the word.
Only women having knowledge of
either typewriting, stenography. teleg-
! raphy. telephony or radio service were
| enrolled. They went in as third class
yeomen. with pay amounting to s33 a
| month, and allowances of s1.25 for
, shelter and subsistence. etc, making
their total compensation about ST. a

| by length of service and efficiency Be

Could Win Over Hylan.

In straight-out contest between Judge
Hylan. the Tammany candidate, and
Mayor Mitchell the latter would be easily
victorious Hylan was hand-picked by
Murphy and there is nothing in his past
career or present attitude to afford any
ground for believing that he will be any
thing else than a creature Of Murphy In
the mayors chair. Unfortunately the race
is a quadrangular one 1t Is Tammany
against the field. The other candidates.
William NJ Bennett, republican, and Nor
riS Hillqut, socialist, are the factors of
doubt in the situation. Bennett. who had
achieved considerable prominence as a
state senator. ran against Mitchell in the
primaries for the republican nomination.
Mitchel's primary campaign was managed
by number Of estimable amateurs who
forgot that the most fatal thing in poll
tics is to take anything for granted. They
fondly imagined that there would be an
overwhelming outpouring for Mitchell and
then awaited the counting OF the votes.

Socialist Vote Uncertain,

Socialist Vote Uncertain.
Ordinarily the socialist vote in New
York Is negligible quantity. Four
years ago in total vote OF nearly
500. 900 only $4,000 went to the socialist
candidate for mayor. This year, for
some reason or other. everybody is pre-
dieting an enormous vote for Morris
Hillquit Straw votes taken in all sec
tions of the city show that this belief
is not without foundation. 1t would
not be surprising if Hillquit's vote ag-
gregated 100000. In the first place, the
socialist candidate appeals to the vast
population on the East Side, which is
outspokenly antagonistic not only to
the present war. but to war of any
kind whatever. His assertion that his
election will mean a long step toward
peace appeals to a very large propor-
tion of the population. In addition he
will be supported by large numbers of
voters who are chafing under the tre-
mendously increased cost of living and
who have looked in vain for punish
protiteers.
Any one who has watched the figures
of recent municipal elections, notably
in Buffalo and in various Ohio cities,
must have been impressed with the
growth o. the socialistic vote. The
conditions Thich prevail in New York
today are ouch that many thinking men
are seriously anticipating the election

fragrant frauds by which Mitchell had been

withdraw and has called upon the repub-
