HEADQUARTERS OF WOMEN 5 AryILIARY. Behind British lines in France. Aug-(Correspondence Of the Associated Press)-Women's labor as g part of the British army in France has now passed through it's trial stage and won the approval of the army au- -horities.
 in response to question, How do -he young women themselves like ac- sivs servce?". the censors at Women's Headquarters have permitted the As socia ed Press correspondence to take extracts rom Q number of homeward- aound letters written by women now sers ing in France.
 One girl writes to her brother; We sre billected in empty villages and eY- arv-hing is done for our comfort. Ar
 ay blankets and no sheets seemed a little peculiar al first, but all idea Of sheets has vanished from our minds and ae are developing an effection for these warm army blankets as a covering. The restrictions are not al all rormidaL in fact we are allowed
 nore Hbert an personally expect cd. which is ing Q great deal. Army rations may be little rougher than he food we have been used to, but the quality and quantity is good, and hun ger is the best Of sauces. The work is interesting"
 Here is q girls account of her daily routine We have break fast at 7;3o and parade at 8:15. We march down 70 the offices and commence work at e. We Icage again at 1:45 and finish at , for the day. We are nearest camp 10 the line, and the work at this base is therefore very important. We are free 10 go out from , until 3
 o'clock roll-call. That gives us dc
 ightfIlly long evening"
 The free time is well employed, aa one girl writes: We went out on Sun day and tried our French, which to l our great surprise vas understood by Inc Frenchwoman. We arc now studying hard at t. and are getting up
 shorthand speed class. The army ] is developing us already"

unMFWS LABOR IN BRIT lSH ARMY WINS
 APPROVAL OF THE ARMY AUTHORITIES

writes: eve are in the midst of beau .iful scenery and the most glorious stretch of sea. With such advantages we feel we are absolutely in clover, because we had expected lot of hard ships. and instead we have only incon- venience. Our life in billets, being army, is of course very crude, and we have dispensed with such luxuries, as tablecloths, but we have delicious white bread and white sugar. We get a lot of bully beef, and I haven't risk ed my teeth on the army biscuits. We are telegraph operators on night duty. We have q bathing parade at 6:30 every morning. It sounds like sum- naer holiday but it is not all pleasure, and my advice to girls who think Of coming over here is Don't come ex- pecting to find a picnic, because you won't get it. Whenever we feel in- cljned 10 grumble at certain things we think of the men in the trenches, and feel that our grievances sink into in- significance by the side of the sacri- fees they are making.
 A girl recently arrived writes: Our draft through some mistake had rath- CT sorry time on arrival, nothing having been prepared for us. We had to put up at a hotel that had not been opened for years and the first day was spent securing the place from top to
 bottom. To hear the girls talk, one
 would think it was huge joke, and the way in which they made the best
 of the situation was splendid"
 A woman sent to base camp where complete staff of men work CTS was displaced writes: we were afraid we would be unpopular with the men on account Of turning them out
 Of their jobs, but nothing of the kind.
 They are very glad to see us and gave Ius cheerful welcome. They had in-
 deed provided every luxury you can conceive They had put flowers in
 our mess and recreation rooms and
 everything was spotlessly clean. We i feel almost gwindled, inasmuch as we
 were definitely promised hardships,
 but 50 far have been able to discover
 none"
