Warning to Young Women Visiting
Alexandria.

Alexandria, La, June /, 1918.
AS representatives of the War
Department Commission on War
Camp Community Work and
Girls Work, we wish to call the
attention of the people to the
grave dangers facing women and
girls who come here. AS is al
ways the case with cantonment
towns, there has been large
number of girls and women COM
ing to Alexandria without visible
means of support, and who are
compelled to meet situations
which are entirely new to them.
We should like to remind them
of these four things:
~. The housing situation in this
city is a very congested one.
The cost of rooms is very high as
is also the price of food.
2. There are practically no OPP
portunities for legitimate employ
ment.
3. Girls and women who are
mere without any visible means
of support are arrested on a.
vagrancy charge and sentenced
to from Is to 80 days in the city
Jail.
4. Under Ordinance 2O4 suspi-
cious women are confined for 30|
days in the city Jail.
A large number Of foolish and
vicious. women have come to
Alexandria from the various
towns. We wish to warn moth
ers of the improperly and dan
ger of permitting young girls to
travel alone to a cantonment city.
May we not emphasize to the
parents that even though they
have every confidence in their
daughters, they should not allow
them to be exposed to the pitfalls
and temptations with which they
are sure to come in contact with
when they visit Alexandria with
out chaperon.
We should like to remind ladies
that we stand ready to cooperate
with them in any way and if any
of them come to Alexandria tol
visit their boys, we hope they
will apply to the Information Bu- |
reau of the War Camp Commune
ty Service Board, located in the
City Hall, where every assistance
will be rendered them.
Sincerely yours,
LEONARD A. PARR, |
Rep. War Dept. Com. of Train
ing Camp Activities.
