shot down So German airplanes in
side the German lines and with hav-
ing destroyed at least % more that
were uncounted. Captain Guynemer
has been missing since he flew from
Dunkirk on September IL.
Captain Guynemer was one of the
Youngest men of his rank in the
French army. having been promoted
by President Poincare in February last
at the age of %. At the beginning
OF the war Guynemer was under %.
He tried five times unsuccessfurry>t
get into the army and finally had to
literally break his way into the avia-
ton corps. The infantry refused him
because he was under weight for his
height and the flying corps rejected
MN because the examining surgeon
considered that he was too nervous.
FINALLY. through the influence of
TREND of his family who was in charge
OF an aviation school, he was allowed
to learn to fly.
he aStoni5hed his instructors by his
rapid progress and GOODNESS and won

ton corps accepted him.
GGrnemer became an ACE" IN the
french aviation corps in August, 1916,

women and WORK
World Getting New View of the
Limitations Of Sex"
Even In Japan Feminine Workers Are
Invading the Factories, Stores
and Offices.

A writer in the New East pictures
the coming Of Japan's ''new woman" in
ways that would be impressive were
there no Europe and no world war. We
have heard before that bound feet are
no more in China, that Picking believes
in education for girls and that all
through the Flowery land the Ameri-
can sewing machine is giving good
account Of itself, we are now assured
that Japan, politically modernized for
we'll nigh half century, is deep in the
task of completing the emancipation Of
her women from the patriarchal sys-
TEN, says writer in the Boston Her
aid.
Vast numbers of them have found
occupations in the factories; other
contingents are ut work in the offices
and in that newest innovation of all,
the department store. The age of bus
mess has ut last dawned for the island
empire, and the click of the typewriter
is heard in the land. Meanwhile there
is rush Of women to the professions.
1t is the women now who are sought
for the stage, and the demand has been
found large enough to warrant the for
nation of dramatic schools attached to
the large theaters. A woman doctor
used to be an impossibility in Japan.
At this years examination for medical
practice in Tokyo % out of 80 candi-
dates who passed were women. And
the call for woman teachers in the
schools grows apace.
Compare this peaceful type of evolu-
ton with the changes which have
come to the western people under the
stress of war. In our own land the
women, once socially active mainly
through their churches and clubs. are
now fast closing up into great CO.
operative organization which has food
conservation for it's detail and nation
al defense for its unifying spirit and
end.
At demonstration given the other
day by English women. in HEREFORD
shire 1000 Of them gathered to show
their proficiency in trimming bitches,
hoeing roots, carting, and dozen
other kinds of farm work which they
had taken up to liberate the men, and
an eyewitness describes the remarka-
BILE showing made by these "bands of
lithe-limbed maidens, with brown
faces under SLOUGH hats, marching in
knee breeciies and leggings or put
tees.'" On the battle front American
women are helping the allies as driv-
ers Of ambulances and motorcars; in
both France and England women run
buses, conduct trains and function in
scores of occupations that have been
hitherto reserved for men. What
would the war amount to were it not
for the army Of woman workers in the
munition factories? Then think of
Russia, which sends out woman war
riors to show her men how battles are
won.
It should be plain that after this
struggle the world will never again be
exactly the same for women. We shall
have the steady evolution of social and
industrial structure such as Japan is
now displaying, but we shall also have
a new view of the so-called Elimination
Of SEX" Complete recognition of the
fact that women are also human be,
ings is assured beyond peradventure.
