Women War Workers to Carry On
Fosdick Wants Woman's Corps
Formed for Amy Camp Work
Organization Like Tommywaacs of England Is Suggested
as Necessary to Bring Uniformity in Service
Given American Troops

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Raymond
3. Fosdick, chairman of the War De-
partment Commission on Training
Camp Activities, has recommended to
Secretary Baker the formation of en-
ilsted corps of women. His action is
due to the lack of system in hiring
women workers for military camps and
the lack of uniformity in housing and
recreational facilities for them.
In his report to the Secretary of War
Mr.. Fosdick suggests that an oreani-
zation of women be formed on the
lines of the Woman's Army Auxiliary
Corps of Great Britain, the "Waacs"
or "Tommywaacs." He thinks this or
ganization should be self -administrat-
ing, auxiliary to the army and respon-
sible TO the General Staff through the
adyutant general.
The number of women employed in
fifty-four military areas, according to
g recent survey, amounted to 13,047.
This marked an increase of 019 wom-
en- employees in five months. The aver
age number of women employed in the
camps is 1856. One camp has 1895, one
has only 25.
In every camp there are women
cooks. clerks, librarians, telephone and
tole~raDh operators. nurses. Mattresses.

State Committee
To Fix Its Part in
Vote Recount Fight

With Governor Whitmans counsel
battling in the courts in practically
ell the counties of the state for the
opening of the ballot boxes and re-
examination of void and defective bal
lots, the executive committee of the
Republican State Committee will meet
to-day at 12 o'clock at the state COM
mittee headquarters in West Thirty
ninth Street to decide the vitality i'm
portant question of whether to back
up the Governor and fight the contro-
versy of a recount to a finish or to
let him carry on his own battle
Surface indications seem to warrant
the prediction that Alfred Z. Smith
Will receive the certificate of election.
At the same time there is growing
conviction in the minds of the Repub-
licans all over the state that obstruc-
tions placed by Tammany election off
clals of Manhattan in the way of per-
mltting the Governor to inspect bal
lot boxes where the count looks sus-
plclous is proof in itself that thew have
much to fear if the full truth were
known.
quo warranto proceeding is a slow
and costly matter when a governorship
is involved 1t is estimated that it
is going to cost some one $25OOOO, if
it is carried through. The Governor
is not rich man. Unless the Re-
publican organization as whole sup
ports him in the crisis there is strong
probability that there will be no quo
warranto proceeding. with its aim ost
interminable delays and legal entan-
clements.
If the executive committee at it's
meeting to-day decides that the Repub-
lican party of the state cannot afford
to have it said that they were wronged
by Tammany in the City of New York
and made no fight for their legal
rights. then the full power of the state
committee will support the Governor.

Camp Fire Girls to
Aid Foreign Sisters
Members of Organization to
Teach Them Ideals of
American Citizenship

Keeping alive the traditions of
American citizenship is one of the re-
construction tasks undertaken by the
Camp Fire Girls of America, accord
ing to resolutions sent by the organ
ization to President Wilson.
"This will be DONE" one of the or
ganization directors said, "in wholly
practical way. Each Camp Fire girl
will take under her wing a girl of for
eign birth or parentage. She will bring
that girl to the Camp Fire meetings.
She will invite her to her home, not as
a charity, but because she is sister
American. She will show that girl how
to cook American dishes and make
American clothes; and the little for
eignerswill reciprocate by teaching the
Camp Fire girl how to cook foreign
dishes, and perhaps to make lace In
every way possible the Camp Fire girl
will help the girl of foreign birth or
parentage to make an easy transition
from her native custoams to the man
ners and habitss Of Americans"

Mrs. Edwin r. Eddy passed from
this life Sunday morning, January 27,
at her home on Estabrook avenue,
Hoosick Falls, n \ She had been in
feeble health for some time, but the
end, though not wholly unexpected,
came with comparative suddcnness,
bringing sorrow to many friends.
Laura Adelaide Boun was the
daughter Of Amos and Almira Bourn,
and was born here in Manchester May
&c, 1915. Her home was here through
her early womanhood, until about Ia
years after her marriage to Mr. Eddy
Nov. 20, 1870
In her youth she became "A Christian
and united with the Baptist Church of
this town, transferring her member
ship to the First Baptist Church Of
Hoosick Falls upon her removal to
that town, in which Church she won
an honored place as an active helper
in its work, especially as a teacher of
the women's class in its Sunday school
for more than 20 years.
Mrs. Eddy leaves her husband, her
daughter, Miss Bertha Eddy, and one
Sister, Mrs. Ann NJ. Hicks, Of Man
chester Depot, besides several ncph-
ews and nicces, to miss her and mourn
her loss.
From youth to age she trod the Chris
tan way
With step answering and a heart
unchilled,
Seeking to live from day to richer
day
A life with good and quiet graccs
filed.
The journey over now, she is at rest
Where faithful service meets its
sweet reward

In the pure, glorious presence of her
