WAR RROADENS SCOPE
OF WORK FOR WOMEN
Many Employed in Pursuits
Outside Purely Civil.

Headquarters of Women's Auxiliary
Corps. Behind British Lines in France
Sept. l.-(Corrcspondcncc of the Asso-
ciated Press.)-Before this war the
only military sphere for which women
were thought eligible was nursing the
sick and wounded. Even that privi-
lcge was vehcmently contested, and 1t
is barely 60 years sincea Florence
Nightingale won for her sex liberty to
perform that service for their country.
1t Is not unnatural that women
should for the first time in this war
have demanded a more active part
than 1t was previously thought pos
sible for them to play in military oper-
ations. For this war differs from any
previously waged in Its cali on the
whole population instead of on a COM
paratively small section of fighting
men. 1t Is war in which not only
every man capable Of fighting is need
ed to face the foe. but the energies of
every remaining individual of the pop
ulation Is needed to grow food, to
make munitions, to keep up the ship
ping, or to maintain civil industries.
Women, as well as men, are COM
PEELED to take larger part than here
tofore, and they have not been content
to confine their efforts to civil occu-
pations. There are many employ
ments in connection with the army It,
self which they felt as capable of per-
forming as men. whereby they could
release men for places in the trenches
and firing line
The army itself has gradually cast
aside It's masculine traditions, and
after first allowing. has gradually
come to welcome the help offered by
the women in jobs hitherto thought OF
as altogether outside their province
In the war office in Whitehall, only l5t
women We're employed in July, 1914;
by the end Of 1916, this number had
risen to $500, or. including the cable
and postal censors, to nearly 200.
From very early period in the wa,
the services of women were enlisted as
clerks In recruiting offices, after many
hundreds of them by voluntary service
had shown their aptitude for this kline
OF work. Before the war the work OF
regimental record offices was entirely
performed by soldier clerks: the en-.
ploynent Of women for this work has
long since been universally adopted.
Women drivers In the army's motor
transport have now become common
place. This was an even greater in.
novation than that Of employing WON
en- as army cooks, for not only were
women automobile drivers unhcard O,
in the army before the war. but they
were extremely rare in civil life.
The experiment of women chauf.
feurs for army work was at first trieC
on small scale: then in February
1917. the experiment was sanctioned
by an army council order, which lait
down the hours of work. rates Of pa,
and general conditions of service fol
''superintendents. head drivers. me.
chanic drivers and garage washers"
Altogether over 400 young womer
have been thus far enlisted under thi!
category.

SOCIETY OF FOUNDERS
 OF NORWICH MEET.
William C. Gilman Gave Interesting
 ddress.

A very peasant social meeting of the Society of the Founders of Nor George L. Lane Tuesday afternoon. It was to have been held under the great elm tree" in Lowthorpe mea- dows but the inclemency of the weather made that impossible. The guests were welcomed by Mrs. Lane and her brother, William c. Gilman. At the opening of the meeting Mir. Gilman made a brief informal address concerning the history of the Low thrope meadows and the connection thereby of the Lathrop family. He said in part:
 Ladies and Gentlemen and Members
 of the Society of the Founders of
 Norwich:
 Our constitution decrees that a meet ing shall be he'd every year for social purposes and the commemoration of early events in the history of the town of Norwich. There is a peculiar pro- priety in this meeting cf the founders at this spot. for this, as you may read on the marker on the tree near the gate. appropriately called the "Ad- Gate" was the home lot of Deacon and proprietors of Norwich. Of his antecedents we know no more than we know of the antecedents of Mel chisedec, but we do know that he came from Saybrook with Rev. James Fitch and Major John Mason and the Huntingtons, 258 years ago, and died here at the age Of four score and four years. He used the office of deacon well for more than half a century and was survived by a son who bore his name and held his office and by large family of daughters who married and moved away, so that the AdSate name no longer appears on our rec Ords.
 The cand purchased by the founders from the Mohegans was held in com mon, but to each was assigned home lot, and this, a s has been said, was Deacon Adgates home lot.
 The history of the Lowthorpe mea- dows is not without interest. At an early period they were part of a tra ct assigned to Samuel Lathrop, son of Rev. John Lathrop, the progenitor of all the Lathrops in the United States. Samuel Lathrop was not founder. but, coming hither as a newcomer a few years after the settlement, he was a "tOwnsman" and took ar active part in public affairs.
 The meadows al that time were an almost impassa ble swamp, overgrown with alder brush and infested with rat tlesnakes and other vermin. Drainage and cultivation for more than 250 years have changed their aspect.
 Samuel Lathrop and his father the Reverend John. came from Lowthorpe in Eng and. and, a not less than eight houses on Washington street between Harland road and Pecks corners have been owned and occupied by La throps, the name L1owthorpe is appropriate to the neishborhood and especially to the meadows. which are now held In trust by the Lowthorpe association. to be kept forever as a free open space. without buildings or encumbranc-- of any kind, for the public good as the free gift of Miss Emily s. Gilman and Mrs. Louisa Gilman Lane, members of the Society of the Founders.
 Ladies and gentlemen. on the behalf of Mrs. Lane. it is a great pleasure to welcome you to the Lowthorpe mea dows.
 After MT. Gilman's address the mesr- ing became purely social and many peasant remi miniscenceS of former meetings were exchanged.
