FOR OLD ENGLAND"

Mystery reigns along the shores
And wounded land from foreign
wars
From a prosaic nation of shop
keepers, Albion is breeding a race
of heroes.
The singular metamorphosis that
transmutes a quiet, meek little
London tailor or clerk TO a brawny,
element hardened husky, who
meets the steel of Spartan-trained
armies in the supreme test-and
conquers-is one of the inexplic-
able developments of this war
While Flanders sucks the life
blood of the noblest armies of them
all, London listens-and hears the
thunder of British guns "out there"
These deep-throated mammoths
are the Gods Of Attrition" and the
first line of England's defense.
The second line of defense rides
1.-THE waters of the world. No ensign
flies SO high nor so far as the
Union Jack"
There is another line.
The women of the united king
dom man the FORCES and foundries
of Britain from Kirkwau TO Dover
They insure the delivery of the
sinews of war 10 the heroic de-
| scendants of that thin red line, u
who fight as Engiishmen have
always fought-with honor and
glory-on the sands of the Sahara,
the crests of the Alps or the Tfbe-
tian plateaus.
The women have also entered the
military.
The women's volunteer reserve
\ organized by Viscountess Castle
REACH (now marchioness of Lon
! donderry), whose object is to de
fend the shores of the nation
against the possible invasion of the
| Germans, is about to acquire the
| honor of becoming an integral part
| of the British army system.
To the marvellous organizing
ability of the marchioness of Lon
donderry is due this unique wom-
| ems organization. With her sec
ond in command, the Hon. Evelina
/ Havertield, the marchiOness ha.

ually withdrew as the women de-
veloped officers of their own.
A tremendous impetus was given
the youthful organization when.
through the death Of her father
in-law, Lady Castlereagh became
marchioness of Londonderry. So
ciety flocked to her colors only 10
find that commissions could not be
bought-and then. curiously enough
they set out TO work for them.
There is many a prominent society
woman serving in the ranks with
servants of her own establishment.
The marchioness received the Of
fetal attention of Lord Kitchener,
when he recommended her as the
colonel-in- chief for the very good
and sufficient reason that he de-
sired the command to go to a
leader willing to accept the guild
ance Of the government. Mrs. Pank-
hurst is said TO have been more or
less disappointed at this turn, but
she lost no time in grieving-in-
stead, she Loyalty supported the le-
gion of AmazOns.
The age limit for the organiza-
ton was fixed at Is - 40. The
big drill hall of Knightsbridge was
loaned and drilling in the military
arts has continued ever since.
1t might be mentioned that all
the officers of the w. V. r. have
passed successfully the royal army
examinations for their rank.
The purpose in applying an Of
fetal status TO the w. V. r. would
be for the effect in case of an &C
tual invasion any time in this or
future wars-for il is to be a per
manent organization. If they were
no official body an enemy would
be justified in dealing with them
as franc-tirecurs or snipers. An Of
fetal standing merely allows to
| them treatment under the war
/ codes for official armed enemy
| forces.
While there seems to be not the
| remotest fear of invasion, either
now in the years TO come. it is
! felt that in case of any internal
disruption occurring through ma
| ligment internal forces or enemy
air raids, a body of healthy
straight thinking, well Officered and
/ trained women would be of ines
