ALLENBY'S MEN

A tale OF Allenby's men in the
Holy Land and how they fought and
conquered the Turks is told by
Major Robert W. Henderson, D. s. o..
of the British army in a letter tn
his wife's mother. Sonora Teresa dc
Provost, 1417 K street northwest.
Major Henderson also tells of the
enthusiasm aroused among the sun
Drowned Britishers in the army Of
the Far East when they heard o.
the victories scored against the Ger
mans by Pershing's crusaders.
Awarded ID. s. o.
MANY thanks for your congratu-
lations on my name appearing in
General Allenby's dispatches" writes
Major Henderson "Since that time
/ have had the good fortune to have
my name again appear in dispatches
and at the same time to get a D. S.
.. distinguished Service orderl.
"A short time ago I applied for
a transfer from the Bikanir Camel
Corps to. the Indian Cavalry. some
what TO my surprise my application
was successful. and I was appointed
second in command OF the Twentieth
Deccan Horse, and have now been
with them about q month.
AT present we are in India and
in the daytime the temperature fro
quently rises to over lis degrees in
our tents SO you can imagine life
has its drawbacks, especially as the
Turks In front have a much better
position than We hold now.
Turks Won't Fight.
They don't attempt open battle
very often. but came out the other |
day in all the glory OF red fez and
baggy trousers and ugly grin, and we |
gave them a bad hammering. It was |
only by a very hurried retreat that |
the Turkish commander saved his |
forces from disaster.
The Germans who are with the |
Turks have been severely beaten |
quite consistently. The last news we
had from France OF the failure OF the
last big German attack and the sue
cess Of the Americans and French in
counter attacking caused much en-
thusiasm among our troops. One OF
the most encouraging signs that the
tide has at last turned in our favor
is the tine performance of the Ameri-
can troops"

tutions were invited. It was felt, ac-
the plan would eliminate a duplication
of effort, since these institutions had
been doing their usual amount of board
ing out even while the Home Bureau
was in existence. 1t was felt that by
leaving the problem to the institutions
the work was being put into the hands
of those best suited by experience and
equipment to accomplish it.
Home Care Under
City Supervision
A further advantage, she declared,
would be the direct supervision of all
the homes to which the city's dependent
children were sent by the city author-
ties Heretofore only those homes to
which children were sent by the Home
Bureau were, investigated by the city.
The institutions will still continue to do
their own investigating, but their work
will be checked up by city Investigators,
who will visit the homes on an average
of once a month.
An increase of from $25 to S35 will
be paid for the boarding out or placing
out of each child, and the city will fur
Their undertake to pay for the mainten-
ance Of children placed in homes out
side the city limits, something which
never was done before
However, the greatest problem before
those interested in the work is not so
much by whom it will be done as how
they are going to find sufficient suitable
homes for the children. There has been
marked falling off in the number of
homes available during the last year.
Whether this condition is due to an
increased general prosperity on account
OF high wages or because women are
finding more interest and occupation out
side their homes, it is difficult to saw"
declared Father Ludlow, head of the
Catholic Guardian Society, "but what
ever the cause, it is seriously hampering
the work on all sides. Every home that
applies for child is not suitable
home, by any means. think about one
in every four or five is found suitable,
for there are many important points to
be taken into consideration.

There is in Cuba one organization, just

There is a project for the creation of

! quote from Mrs. Angelina Fantoli, of
Havana, follows:
"The Cuban woman has always been rec
ognized in the family as a careful and low
ing mother to her children. Perhaps,
account Of the characteristic fondncss of
her race, her motherly affection is some
what exclusive; nevertheless, these ideas
among certain classes arc becoming modi-
fed and enlightened by culture. The Cuban
woman, owing to her limited liberty of ac
ton, the customs of the time or lack Of
means of education, did not till about 1880
enter the militant camp of intellectuas;
but when she did so it with great
promise and sound womanly intelligence"

Asst weeks article described the
"boarding out" system, by which
the homeless and dependent chill
dren in New York hitherto have been
cared for in private families, where the
city paid their expenses and provided su-
pervision. The finding of these homes
and the placing of children in them was
done by various hospitals and child-car-
ing institutions.
During the last administration the
City of New York went so far in further
ing this idea as to itself take over part
Of the work Of placing dependent chill
dren in private homes. The Home Bu-
reau in the Department of Charities was
established for this purpose.
Considerable CONSERVATION and sur
prise were felt on all sides among those
who had the welfare of the city's charges
at heart when it was learned that cut
Of $4,000 in the appropriation for this
Home Bureau had been made by the
present city administration.
Upon inquiry Tribune representative
was informed by Bird S. Coler, Com
missioner of Charities, and by Miss
Mary Tinney, who is in charge of the
Boarding Out Department, that this ap-
parent cut is not cut at all, but a
transfer of the funds to other agencies.
The Home Bureau as such has been dis
continued, and the work of boarding out
and placing out dependent children, it
was said, has been put entirely into the
hands of the charitable institutions that
have been making a practice of doing
this work for years.
Among the institutions named as en-
gagged in this work are the Catholic
Guardian Society, the Children's Aid So
ciety, the State Charities Aid, the Cath
Ole Home Bureau, the Nursery and
Child's Hospital, New York Founding
Asylum, Hebrew Infant Asylum, the
Guardian Angel Asylum, in Brooklyn;
the Child Adoption Committee of the
Speedwell Society.

ference at the Department of Charities

No Fear for Mems

Editor Women's News, The Tribune.
Dear MADAME beg to acknowledge re-
reached this morning, in which you
require information respecting feminine
activities in Peru
would say that, with the exception Of
company in Lima and the principal cities,
which the general consensus of opinion is
agreed to consider less than inefficient, and
a few timid excursions in the realm Of
department store counter work, besides the
usual feminine occupations Of dressmaking,
millinery and kindred occupations, far
the absorption by women of the field of
occupations reserved to men has hardly
begun in Peru. Nor do | think, given the
characteristics of the Peruvian woman, that
this is to be feared, at least for some years
to come.
There arc women writer's (Zola de Ca
cores. Dora Meycr) whose reputation can
be said to have gone beyond merely local
recognition. The fear of ridculc, which is
still potent among South American nation
alites, has, up to the present, prevented
the progress of the tcncts of equal suf-
fragc among Peruvian women, though there
are one or two struggling pioneers, whose
proselytizng does not meet with more than
merely academic encouragement.
There are few factories in Peru, for it u.s.
yet, not an industrial country; so the
opportunities for the employment of women
arc not many. Nor can women be said to
be employed in agricultural labor, except
AS cotton pickers in the cotton producing
centres Of the north and south, and then
not to any very great extent.
In Lima women are employed in the few
factories which are operated, such as soda
water works, breweries, match factories
textiles; but compared with their number
in other countries, in proportion to popu-
laton. it cannot be said that women are
employed extensively in Peru.

tutions. There women doctors Maria

profession has always been we'll repre-

There are, properly speaking institu-
tons for the industrial training of women.
