WOMEN AFTER HE WAR

J. ls an interesting question Wheta- CT by the ulne the war ends We shall have heard tbe l4st of tbe ancient and tlne-wora aghgilsm that wouau's place is at home. Ne do not realize as We should n more literal sense then ever before whole nations are now at WAT. Cfea ln the past huge armies have beea raised. even to the point Of draining tae nation Of Us male population. b3t never before have great powers brought into the strug- gle and enlisted in their support all the human forces capable in any way of helping tbeir cause.
 For the first time in human history woman has been m9bilized as an addi- uonal arm of the service. She does not shoulder rife or hurl grenades or sifn field pieces. Bat neither IS she content merely Q fsn into the places left vacant b. the men who have marched to the front. she engages also in work directly connected with war.
 The process has been gradual and piecemeal. not the working out Of complete and predetermined plan. but The result 4s a revolution. Women by the myrald-nhleh ls definite num- Der and not symbol Of indnity-are working in munitions factories and other establishments that are making equipment and supplies for the men in the held. they are running street cars. they afe tHlng the fields. they have replaced men hundred occu- pations for which longsfanding pre- judice has regarded them IS unfit. In every country that Is now at war wo- men are doing their bifs IS generally and as efficiently as the men. There are few "slackers" among them.
 That is q revolution and revolu- lions never go backward. When peace IS restored, women will be holding millions of jobs that were left vacant by men who took their way 10 the trenches and who were swallowed up forever They will continue 10 hold those Jobs partly because they have earned them by their faithfulness in times of stress. partly because there will be need of every hand and eye and brain to repair the awful waste Youths Companion

AS
FRENCH OFFICERS
Ambulance Corps Extends
Activities Along Twet \
New Lines =
(Rv Associated Press.l )

Paris, May S.-With the entrance of
the United States into the war, the
American field ambulance corps, which
heretofore hos confined its duties to
ambulance work along the front, has
decided to develop two important new
branches of it's work. These are:
First-A military transport service
in which the Americans will have
charge of the transportation OF
ammunition and field supplies at main
points where offensives are in
progress.
second-A military school at which
the Americans will receive special
training under French officers leading
to appointment az officers Of the
French army after a few weeks OF
intensive training.
Both these steps have been worked
out by Prof. A. Piatt Andres. chief
inspector of the American Ambulance
corps together with the French mill
tary authorities and the actual COM
mencement Of both branches viii occur
this week.
The first section for the transport
of ammunition to the fighting front
leaves next wednesday. 1t VIII De
composed of forty-five Americans
drawn from the leading colleges, with
twenty heavy ammunition trucks. 1t
is expected that one additional section
will leave for the front each week.
The school for Americans seeking
commissions in the French army will
be opened today at Meaux where
extensive quarters have been assigned
for recitation rooms, drilling, dormi-
tory and ref1ectory purposes. Fifteen
Americans will compose the first class
and will be drawn from those who
previously have been operating
ambulances. AS these qualify, pass
the examinations and are assigned to-
French commands, others will be
brought in from ambulance work to
form new classes, thus making a con-
tinuous flow of Americans qualifying
for French commands.
The development OF these two new
branches Of work probably will lead
to a change of the name OF the Am
erican field ambulance corps to the
American field service, or American
volunteer CORDS"
