BRITISH ARE WANTING
MORE WOMEN WORKERS

London. Oct. lS.-Ten thousand
women recruits a month for use in
the army auxiliary service are being
appealed for here. The chief need
is for domestic workers, typists. and
automobile drivers One OF the re-
cruiting posters says:
Although the women must be
strong and reliable, it must not be
supposed that their life is all hard
work. They swim. they have games
and musical evenings and dances, to
which each woman can invite one
soldier friend. They play as hard az
they work. and they live whole
some life.
1.-The women are under military
discipline, but they do not march to
work nor do they salute their officers
or officers OF the male army"
The recruits will be sent to France
as fast as they are enrolled.
