WOMEN ARE HOLDING
MEN JOBS IN THE WAR
Nursing Was About as Far as
They Went at First, but
Now They Do Many
Things.
Correspondence of The Associated Press.)

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
Headquarters of Women's Auxil-
iary Corps, Behind British Lines in
France, Sept. l5.-Before this war
the only military sphere for which
women were thought eligible was
nursing the sick and wounded. Even
that privilege was vehemently con-
tested, and it is barely sixty years
since Florence Nightengale won for
her sex liberty to perform that service
for their country.
1t is notunnatural that women
should for the first time in this war
have demanded a more active part
than it was previously thought pos
sible for them to play in military
operations. For this war differs from
any previously waged i'll its call on
the whole population instead of on a
comparatively small section of fight
ing men. 1t is war in which not
only every man capable of fighting is
needed to face the foe, but the ener-
gies of every remaining individual of
the population is needed to grow
food, to make munitions, to keep up
the shipping, or to maintain civil in
dustries.
To take Larger Part.
Women, as we'll as men. are COM
PEELED to take a larger part than here
tofore, and they have not been con-
tent to confne their efforts to civil
occupations. There are many en-
ployments in connection with the
army itself which they felt as capable
of performing as men, whereby they
could release men for places in the
trenches and firing line.
The army itself has gradually cast
aside its masculine traditions, and
after first allowing, has gradually
come to welcome the help offered by
the women in jobs hitherto thought
fas altogether outside their prov
ince. In the War office in Whitehall,
only 156 women were employed in
July, 1914; by the end of 1916, this
number had risen to $500, or, includ-
ing the cable and postal censors, to
nearly 200.
From very early period in the war
oSlNlSSo VI WOIllSH WSlC
as clerks in recruiting offices, after
many hundreds of them by voluntary
service had shown their aptitude for
this kind of work. Before the war
the work of regimental record Offices
was entirely performed by soldier
clerks; the employment of women for
this work has long since been uni
versally adopted.
Motor Drivers Common.
Women drivers in the army's motor
transport have now become common
place. This was an even greater in
than that of employing
women as army cooks, for not only
were women automobile drivers un-
heard of in the army before the war,
but they were extremely rare in civil
life.
The experiment of women chauf-
feurs for army work was at first tried
on small scale; then in February,
1917, the experiment was sanctioned |
by an army council order, which laid |
down the hours of work, rates of pay
and general conditions of service for
"superintendents, head drivers, me-
chanic drivers, and garage washers"
Altogether over 400 young women
have been thus far enlisted under this
category.

believe it will go to $3.50 by the time

should be hurried to us promptly if it
is to be had before the next advance
