When America declared war on Ger
many 1t was no task at all for the able
bodied young man, Of sound mental.
moral and physical status to find a way
to help the government He could simply
hunt up the nearest recruiting station
and declare his intentions.
But the woman of the nation and the
men who are incapacitated for field ser
vice, either through age or infirmity.
have found themselves faced with the
puzzling question of~what they can do
for their country. But there are many
things that can be done by this class of
Americans.
work that will soon be demanded by the
government. Volunteers to the armed
forces will leave vacant many govern
ment posts which must be filled imme-
diately, and there Is always the home
guard. which demands its share of ser
vice from the civilian who is not an
actual invalid.
The American Red Cross is a great gov
ernment agency which Is clamoring for
There are ambulance corps to train and
an infinite variety of other opportunities
to be of service are offered
The Naval Reserve of the United States
also wants men and women. chiefly to
perform clerical and light noncombatant
work. The average American. of course,
will be called upon to contribute to war
loans and to private medical organiza-
tions which are offering their services
to the government
Skilled mechanics gre utterly indis-
pensable In time Of war, and very shortly
the United States will be in need of
all the munition-makers that can be
gathered together, particularly If the war
lasts for an indefinite time. Women may
learn, under the direction of the Ameri-

himself into the cause of America, with

come a skilled cook. an automobile driver
or mechanic. carpenter, wireless oper-
ator, telegraph, operator. and all the
other branches of the mechanical arts
that will be requisitioned by the gov
ernment.
The woman who is anxious to serve
her country may be called upon to do
such things as become an expert gar
dener. a clerk. an elevator operator,
stenographer. or even a mechanical work
err In Washington, however. there are
a number of places where women can
train to be of service to the navy. but
just at present. the two big fields open.
to women are the Red Cross and the
Naval Reserve.
OF course, it devolves upon every true
American to report to the police authori-
ties any and every instance Of suspected
disIoyalty to the government. This may
be difficult, inasmuch as one may be
friendly with the suspected one. but when
nations are at war patriotism is no
