Mr.. FOSD'CK URGES
WOMAN ENLISTMENT
Would Have Corps self-Adminis.
trative and to Handle Wom-
ems Work in Camps.

The formation of an enlisted corps
of women, similar to the Women's
Auxiliary Army Corps of Great Brit
ain, which has performed excellent
service in England and France, has
been suggested to Secretary Baker
by Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of
the commission on training camp
activities.
According to the program for such
unit, as outlined by Mr. Fosdick,
this corps will be elf-administrative,
but will be responsible to the general
staff of the Army and will handle
women's work in the camps.
Recommendations Made.
Mr.. Fosdick's recommendations, in
part, follow:
That all women employed on mill
tary areas in the United States be
organized, through voluntary enlist
ment, into a corps similar to Queen
Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps
That this corps be called the Wom-
ems Army Auxiliary Corps:
That 1t be a self Notwithstanding or
ganization, auxiliary to the Army, and
responsible to the general stan
through the adjutant general.
That the plan for its development
include the application OF strict uls-
clpline. modeled. on military lines,
through rul.s. and regulations formu-
lated by the head of the corps, and
enforced by its own administrative
machinery.
Purposes Of Plan.
The adoption OF this plan is urged
in order: -
To establish some form of uniform
regulation for the women employed
on military, areas, as a protection to
them as well as to the men In train
Ing.
10 raise the standard of service now
being rendered by woman employees
on military areas, through proper Sc
lection and supervision OF these Wom-
en- by trained experts.
To assure better results In certain
lines of service for which women are
better fitted than men. This implies
the substitution of women for men as
cooks, laundry wol kers, in general
housework and the reclamation de-
partment, etc.
To provide for the possible utiliza-
ton OF worf1en's service overseas. In
this connection it should be said that
the women who may be sent overseas
to serve the Army as clerks, stenog-
raphers, ETC., will need to be carefully
organized in order to fit into the Army
scheme.
To release men for active service by
the employment of women wherever
they may be substituted for men.

NAVY GIVES 100000
To UNITED WAR WORK.
Secretary Daniels Sends Letter of
Communication to All Ships
' . and Stations.

That the contribution of the officers.
men and women. of the United States
Navy to the recent united war work
campaign will total more than $780,
900 was made known last night in a
letter sent out by Secretary of. the
Navy Daniels to every ship and sta
ton. The message follows.
THE Navy gave 100000 to the
united war work campaign. This is
an achievement which ranks high
among the great things which the
American Navy has done in this war.
The great gift Of the Navy, in addi-
tion to actually adding many thou
sands to the total, served. as an in
centive to the rest of the country.
That this fact is recognized is shown
by a telegram received today by Rear
Admiral Cowie from John II. Mott.
national chairman of the united war
work campaign. saying: We share
your pride in what the men OF the
Navy have done. Our entire genei al
committee appreciates all that you and
all those associated with you in the
Navy have done to help make the
united war work campaign successful.
take the utmost pride in this re-
markable evidence Of the Willingness
of the Navy to help whenever IL is
called upon, and 1 send my sincere
thanks to lth9 naen and women, of the
American Navy who have answered
my appeal SO generously.
No Signs Of Slowing Down.
Rear Admiral T. J. Cowie, who man,
aged the campaign in the Navy, SAID
last night that the Navy contribution
had increased more than $40. 900 in the
past twsnty-four hours and showed
no signs of slowing down. Subscrlp-
tions are still being turned in from
men of the fleet and those who have
heretofore had no chance of con-
The total Of the whole Navy De.
partment in Washington probably Will
be more than $25,Oo0, according to an
officer connected with the drive here
ABOUT orie-twelfth of the whole
Navy contribution. .
Belated subscriptions received by
the campaign committee after the
drive had officially closed probably
will bring the Washington total up
to consid .rably more than the Ss25,-
900 reported yesterday. It,-is not Ger.
tain f,1st what the entire amount viii
be. but the supposition is that 1t will
be SIS 600 higher than the amount re-.
corded yesterday. A list of belated
subscribers will be published tomor-
row.

turkeys for the Park View CeNnmunity
Center, and they will be brought to

ington-to-Gettysbur route.
Organization of the producers in or
der that there may lie cooperation
with local consumers that will be ad-
vantageous to both is a part of the
farm-to-table plan.
While the Citizens Food Council
will devote great deal of attention
from now on to promoting community
cooperative buying as an effective
means of Immediately lowering food
prices, 1t will also stress constantly
the patriotic obligation of every cit
izen to save food that famine may be
stamped out of Europe.
Plans already are under way for the
calling Of a mass meeting of citizens
associations to consider conservation
measures This meeting will be held
In the Public Library. probably in the

Powdered 1filk Favorsd.

TT seems to be the only way by
which cheap milk can be assured the
people Of this country. anyhow" said
the official. TT would eliminate the
cost OF delivery, which is the CHIEF
itefn Of expense, Instead Of having a
driver deliver the milk at your door
in tho morning you could carry 1t
home in your pocket. Restored to
LIQUID FORM. the powdered substance
would be just as nutritious as when
taken from the cow.
Thus the women Of washington
who are helping In this campaign to
obtain milk fof French babies are
perhaps laying the foundation for
more economic and more convenient
exchange OF commodities at home. In
any case they are doing 4 splendid
work."

YORK COUNTY GET L A

Charleston, July 24.-The prize
flag for cash sales of War Savings
Stamps during the month of June
will be awarded to York County.
York led the state not only in sales
per capita, but also in cash sales on
a basis of the June Campaign quota.
During June the people of York
County purchased War Savings
Stamps to the value of $500, which
amounts to 80 per cent. of it's cam
paign quota. The campaign quota
included the amount of W. S. S. al
ready owned plus the amount that
would be pledged and purchased
during the remainder of the year.
The flag for June Cash sales will be
ready in about two. weeks, it is ex-
pected.
Cash sales of w. S. S. during
June fully doubled the sales during
the previous six months of the cam
paign, and the State War Savings
Committee is hoping that during the
balance of the year the cash sales
will continue to increase. 1t is of
Importance that the people constnat-
ly bear in mind the pledges that
they made in June to purchase W.
S. S. during the year. Failure to
make the pledges good is nothing
less than failure to withhold from
the nations fighting men the sup
port which they have so valiantly
earned from those at home.
