with extreme difficulty in the midst Of
such a whirlwind of action. The skies
are gray. but stars show at night.
But with all these rigors and bloody
work the morale and confidence of the
men is at the top notch. A brigade Of
Alpinf was seen passing to the front.
They did not wear those jaunty Alpine
hats with a cocks feather. as one sees
them in Rome. but were figures in gray.
topped with steel They swung forward
rapidly. as il eager to arrive, and to
every inquiry they replied with con-

already established committees on in struction which plan surveys of the courses offered by State, county, or community institutions. These com mittees will make a study of the reg istration to discover the lines of ser vice desired by women for active work. The committee will then ask these m- stitutions to add courses, or, if this is not possible, the committee in instruc- tion may plan to organize courses un- der its own direction. Teachers who volunteer their services, or receive a minimum fee, will be obtained. At present the demand is for nurses, ste nographers, and typewriters. Women are being urged to take hospital train ing or enter business colleges.
 "The matter of giving training in any occupation desired is one that must be determined by the local and State committees. The surveys which are being considered will include the courses being given by the Young Women's Christian Association, Young Mems Christian Association, the pub lie schools, and the business and aca- demic colleges. The women's commit tee is not in any sense of the word a placement bureau, but is interested in the finding of work for women who want to be of use to their country and is encouraging the forming of these committees on instruction in the various States"
