N The X W- q. A has a Play Lady
lin France. She ID the woman who
leads the recreation for munition
workers behind the lines.
10 stern has been the demand
made upon women df France that
women in this country were asked
by the French Government To come
and help them in teaching the
women of France to smile again. It
was not an easy thing TO do For
three years there had been no 10y
In the lives Of these women, some OF
them were refugees and had lost
everything in the war, some were
separated from their families, others
had the bereavement of men killed
in battle N
In spite df all the hopelessness of
the future as some or these women
saw it, with tired eyes, the Y. w. c.
"a. came with recreation buildings,
social rooms and big open spaces
given them by the French Govern
ment, that women could play. Every
one or these foyers or social rooms
have bright curtains. deep easy
chairs, and all the homely necessities
that "a woman needs, sucn A. ironing
boards and sewing machines. All
the new magazines from England
and America and the few little ones
published in France are there with
reading and writing tables
These centers have gradually
turned out to h. girls homes when
they are not al work Entertain
ments are given these. Hundreds Of
women working in factories making
INT known the world over as
Canary Girls came to these centers
every day. There is something very
wistful about their bravery The
work they do ruins their hair and
turns the skin yellow Perhaps only
women could understand what it
means to a girl to sacrifice her
beauty for the sake OF freedom and
the big ideal the men she knows are
fighting for
Not long ago these Canary Girls"
got together in one of the munitions
centers and put on a Japanese Tab
leau,-their pathetic little yellow
faces and dry struggling hair rather
we'll fitted in with the oriental cos
TUNES they wore They laughed and
played until nearly midnight and
forgot how tired they were.
The Y. W. G. A. has not only
brought to these girls their 'Play
Lady" recreational centers, but it
has also given them courses in Eng
lish, shorthand and dressmaking.
The Play Lady has seen that
there are recreational fields and
some of the foyers have cafeterias
tor the girls where they may Get tea
In the afternoon. There are hun
dreds of Y. W. c. A. women from
America bringing this indispensable
comfort to the women i'm France.

TANKS FURIOUS OVER PEACE

y
London, September 20.-Reuter's
AZ American head
quarters wires:
II have been at pains to sound the
sentiments 6f the American Army
on the enemy's peace offensive, with
a result startingly convincing. I
was prepared for firmness, but
found rather a feeling or suppressed
fury at the thought of any terms
being made with the Hun until he had
yielded hds arms and asked for
mercy
"Peace on that basis is the only
kind that will satisfy the American
soldiers. Their unanimity and in-
fexibility on this point are remark
able, and it must be remembered
that the American Army il not only
a fine fighting force but II going to
be an enormous political force.
"a concrete body of 5000 900 men.
even if III grows nc larger, trained
by bitter experience to a common
view, Is going to have an influence
.On thu policy or the United States
which nothing can withstand.
Moreover, since we are dependent
on American resources to bring the
war to "a conclusion, We may also
count on its being concluded IN
fashion that will be in agreement
with American determination aAa
