for the day when France may have

have need of immediate work, how
ever, are rethested to indicate it. The

A similar bulletin is devoted to
farming enrolment, concluding as fol

The women of the farms have
wanted to be associated with the
work of voluntary enrolment of
French women in the service OF
the country. They will do 1t glad
ly, and, since they are adapted to
agricultural life, they will work
for the salvation of the country.

The posters call attention to thu
need of women aiding the nation to TIT

end. Moving picture films also hav'
