 NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The last full month of the 1917 baseball season be- gins with New York and Chicago still holding the leads in the National and American leagues. No great changes were effected during the last week and no serious opposition was offered to the leaders in either league. New York's play in the National showed no marked improvement over the previous two weeks, the leaders winning three, losing two and tieing one
 This week New York will meet Philadelphia the runners up in three consecutive double headers and on these games, the per..ant may depend The best record of the week was made by Cincinnatti which won five games and tied one. Boston was defeated in three straight games and MatheWSon' s men advanced to fourth place. ahead of Chicago. St. Louis also had a good week, winning five out of seven. In the American, Chicago had it's most successful week since mid-June. The leaders were undefeated in seven games up to Saturday when they lost thelr only game or ;ne week to St. Louis

GLENDALE, Sept. 2-The recep- tion at the Christian church Friday night in honor of the boys who are leaving for the training camp, was the grandest affair ever held in Glendale The Methodist. Christian and Baptist churches covered them- selves with glory in the splendid way the whole program was car ried out. Each committee deserves special mention for their work Rev. erend Dunlap and wife were at the head of the receiving line. The first number on the program was Amer ica," which the audience sang stand ing. A prayer by Reverend Draper, followed by "Narcissus" by Miss Hoel; Goodbye, Broadway, Hello France" by Misses Grace and Ruth Helm, Annie Spain, Truman Helm, Ben Spain and Everett Barkley. Send Me Aaway With a Smile" by the Misses Cleone and Essie Marks Prof Davis made one of his brilliant speeches. A piano solo by Ralph Miller c. c. Green gave the boys a short talk, a touch of humor mingled with good advice. A song Jesus Be With You, Good bye" The Reverend Dunlap, who was master of ceremonies, after giving a stirring address, invited the guests to the banquet hall in the basement where cake and cream was served to about 200 people from buffet tables, the center table being decor ated with a large cake, the icing be- ing an American flag. Tom Moss, one of the boys who is going and his cousin, Miss Lettie McMillen, were selected to cut the cake, which was passed to the guests. More speech making was indulged in after refresh ments were served as we'll as a gen eral social time. Among the boys who are selected that were present were Tommy R. Downey, Everett R. Bunch, Henry T. Burton, Otto Me Millen, Harry M. Moore. Walton E. Wilson. Frank Hoyt Pitcher, Charlie L. Betts, Clint O. Stevens, Thomas Rennig Sporing, Wm. F. Mclean. Everett Barkley and Van Rathburn. Some of the boys who have been called could not be present. It would be impossible to give the names of all the guests. They were the rep resentative men and women of the community and the occasion will go down in Glendale history long to be remembered. Mrs. Shively wishes to get complete list of the boys who will leave from Glendale and vicinity. A register will be left at the Pitcher drug store so that each one can reg ister there. Editor Reed of the Glen dale News wishes to send the boys his paper and will do so if the ad- dress is left with him.

WOMEN P[AY|NC
 MOER ACTIVE PART
 IN WAR OPERATION
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1


 HEADQUARTERS OF WOMENS lines in France, Sept. Correspond AUXILIARY CORPS, Behind British lines in France, Sept Correspond ence of the Associated Press)-Before this war the only military sphere for which women were thought eligible was nursing the sick and wounded. Even that privilege was vehemently contested, and it is barely sixty years since Florence Nightengale won for her sex liberty to perform that service for their country.
 Tt is not unnatural that women should for the first time in this war have demanded a more active part than it was previously thought possi- ble for them to play in military opera tions. For this war differs from any previously waged in its call on the whole population instead of on com- paratively small section of fighting men, k. It is a war in which not only every man capable of fighting is needed to face the foe, but the energies of every remaining individual of the population 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- pelled to take larger part than here tofore, and they have not been content to confine their efforts to civil occu- pations. There are many emplOyments in connection with the army itself which they felt as capable of perform ing as men, whereby they could release men for places in the trenches and fir ing line.
 The army itself has gradually cast aside it's masculine traditions, ana 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 Whithall, only 156 women were employed in July, 1914; by
 ne end of 1916 this number had i' to $500, or, including the cable and postal censors to nearly 7700.
 From a very early period in the war the services of women were en. listed as clerks in recruiting offices, after many hundreds Of them by vor- untary service had shown their ap- titude for this kind of work. Before the war the work of regimental rec ord offices was entirely performed by soldier clerks; the employment of wo- men for this work has long s:nce 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 wo-
 men as army cooks, for not only were
 women automobile drivers unheard of 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 tried on a small scale; then in February, 1917, the experiment was sanctioned by an army council order, which laid down the hours of work, rates of pay and general conditions of service for
 'sulkrintendents, head drivers me- chanic drivers, and garbage washers" Altogether over 400 young women have thus far enlisted under this cate l gory.
