LONDON, Sept. 2--Fully 5000 900
women In the United Kingdom are en-
gagged "in whole: time work, much of
which, in one way or another. IS essen
tial to the war" Harold Begbie, an
English Journalist and novelist, writes
in London newspaper. "ln three
years 62l 900 women were added to the
payrolls OF England's munition facto-
ries," he asserts.
Incomplete fgurcs which he had COM
piled showing the number of women in
various trades and occupations follow:
Metals, chemical and textile trades ,1oS. 900
Admiralty. dockyards. ordnance. etc. 1000
Finance. banking. commerce.. .,..... 1000
Transport. including trans. ....... Ill 900

Civil service (ncuding postoffce) 900
Hotels, taverns, theatres, etc ...... 207. 900
In addition, there are nearly 100000
women employed In q service of a mill
tary nature, such as the Queen Mary's
Auxiliary Corps and the Women's Ma
val Service.
"Our Amazons," Begbe says, "have
saved us. We could not have con-
tinued the struggle without their help.

men to be enrolled in the army; they
have doubled and trebled the national
output of munitions of war
Behind the pretty girls in attractive
uniforms. who are doing most useful
work there are millions Of women toll
ing in the sweat of their brows from
morning to night, at work either so
hard that it was thought before 1914
no woman could perform it or so dam
gerous that no man ever dreamed Of
asking q woman to do it.
"The spirit in which these women
have come forward to take the places
OF men is beyond praise. They have
been steadying influence in trade dis
putes. They have shown the utmost
courage in moments Of danger or panic.
Many OF them are doing exceedingly
hard work or extremely monotonous
work. Their physical endurance has
equalled their powers of nervous re-
sistance to fatigue. Their morality
has been superior to that of men"

the Catholic Church and War. =
Praises President Wilson.

The first Of the vesper services to
be held on the Ellipse each Sunday

several thousand persons from dif-
ferent denominations.
The principal speaker was Very Rev.
Edward Fitzgerald. o. p. prior Of
the Dominican house of studies. Cath
olic University Of America. He took
for his theme the doctrine of the
Catholic Church in regard to the war,
saying: "The Catholic Church knows
only too well the meaning Of war. In
it's hundreds OF years Of existence It
has acquired a sad knowledge of the
desolation that war always creates"
The speaker paid tribute to Presi-
dent Wilson, saying:
1--WE are thankful that the destinies
of this nation have been intrusted to
a. man whose intellectually, whose
training and whose character show
that every effort was made to avert
war; and no nation has borne SO pa
tiently the wrongs we have suffered.
There has never been a better case
before the bar of justice than the case
Of our beloved country. because all
the conditions have been manifestly
fulfilled
The exercises were held under the
auspices of the War Camp Community
Service. The audience Joined in sing
ing a number of songs, under the di-
rection of Peter Dykema-
