Knowing just what to do with the conscripts
may not be very easy, but it seems great deal
simpler than knowing what to do with the vol
unteers. Contrary to the behavior of Ameri-
can men, most American women are volunteer
ing in all directions, generally, however, in the
wrong ones, and the only thing that will sys-
tematize this epidemic of enlisting is some sort
of CONSUMPTION. Find out where and when the
country will need women to do extra work or
to replace men, and then put them there. All
the arguments in favor Of CONSUMPTION for men
apply to CONSUMPTION for women. 1t would

No doubt it will. Under a selective draft

their being Junior Colonial Gentlemen. The
girls are probably in better health and more
athletic and certainly enjoy more leisure than
most other girls. They could be Of unques-

NEW YORK'S GREETING TO FRANCE
Continued from Page one

After receiving the marching salute Of the
troops. in front of the City Hall, the General
was conducted to his apartments at the City
Hotel. where the members Of the corporation
dined with him. In the evening. the front OF
the City Hotel, (the residence OF the General
and several other buildings, were handsomely
illuminated. The theatres, public gardens
&c. displayed transparencies, fireworks and
rockets. in honour Of the occasion, and the
evening passed off with great hilarty. The
day was remarkably fine for the occasion, and
the display of the troops was unusually brill
liant.

been sometime in preparation, is TO be brought

camp was in the morning We walked
down a steel-walled corridor and when
the doors were unlocked found ourselves
in a great room full of men. 1t was the

that it's all in the days work, or that it's only
what America expects of every woman. That
would be training worthy of being called real
education and there probably would be no time
for interviews about it.
Another example of wasteful volunteering
are the various women's self-defence leagues
and rife clubs and revolver societies. Most Of
them are patrican as well patriotic. One
announces shooting afternoons over which
hostesses of social prominence will preside.
Special chaperons will be provided for chill
drens afternoons. Prizes will be offered for
the best shots, and officers of the army and
navy are asked to cooperate"
For the sake of efficiency, as we'll as for the
preservation Of national sanity, this sort of
thing ought to be stopped 1t ought to be
stopped at least until military census and
selective draft had made sure that all the wom-
en- needed to carry on the necessary industry
and food production were in their proper
places. Then the remainder could continue
with rife afternoons, beauty chorus brigades,
and military drill in khaki costumes of guar
anteed attractiveness. 1t would still be irri-
tating, of course, but one would have the COM
fortng assurance that it wasn't interfering
with the energies of any of the women who
should be doing real work for the nation.
No one would maintain that thousands Of
women aren't doing real work now, which only
misses being most effective because it isn't sys-
tematized -inder government control. Besides
the froth Of genteel patriotism that is such a
godsend TO the society editors there is strong
current of will-to-usefulness which is deter
mined 20 find channels. Witness the feverish
classes in camp cooking, wireless telegraphy
agriculture, general and specific. ambulance
driving, nursing and so on. If the result
seems chaotic most OF the women volunteers
aren't really responsible for il. There has
been no centralizing power, no voice Of ma
tOnal authority to say just what ought to be
done and how. Both old and new organizations
had to plunge in with nothing much to guide
them except the slogan Of "See what the Eng
lish women have done!" Naturally there has
been much waste effort and much overlapping
of activities, and not little tension among
the most important organizations, each of
whom strives to be considered the central one
But even under these conditions things have
been accomplished, and it will devolye on the
new Committee of Women's Defence Work to
make use of whatever machinery has already
been set in motion.

probably not take them long to do the obvious
things of eliminating the unfit societies and

really bent on bringing order into chaos, they
will probably advocate some form of con-
scription for women.

The prisoners have several bands and
an orchestra and occasionally they give

unlimited letters-censored, Of course.
But don't get the idea from all this that
the Germans on Ellis Island are being
"coddled." 1t doesn't cost cent more
to treat them like human beings, and 1t
makes them a lot easier to take care Of.

they please. His remarkable ability IN

valuable to his government at this time.
