ume of volunteering has come frankly
as a pleasant surprise to the officials.
The country has gradually realized
that the war bureau intends to enroll
civilian workers only by slow degrees
so as to disturb legitimate business as
little as possible.
Women. though unaffected by the
civil service law, have volunteered in
droves and the bureau has even had to
exert a strict check on the youthful
population so large have been the num-
ber wanting to leave school in order
to work in some way for the father
land. Only small percentage of vol
unteers has been definitely accepted so
far but the aggregate is already large
enough to release several thousand
soldiers weekly. who have been en-
gagged in interior garrison duty, bridge
watching service and on posts. These
soldiers have been sent into admins
tration districts close behind the front
and in turn relieve many more thou
sands for actual service on the battle
line.
