German people in the hollow of its hand

GIRLS TO ENTERTAIN SOLDIERS

II seemed incredible at first that the
Y. w. c. A., or any part Of IT, seriously
contemplated sending American girls
abroad with our armies for the purpose
Of entertaining the soldiers and keeping
them from getting lonesome. The pro-
posal was so absurd, to anyone fanil-
lar with the exigencies Of military life
and the fundamental facts Of human
nature, that II seemed impossible that
any rational group or women could
countenance it. Nevertheless the war
department has been asked tn indorse
the project-according to some reports
with favorable results-and In Toledo
and in some other cities an effort is
already being made to recruit the girl
