seem, as many young women are Sc
riously considering the matter.

Woman's Branch Of the National
Council Of Defense will recanvass
Mexico with the purpose Of obtaining
a revised registration Of the work that
the women Of this city are doing and

AMERICAN GIRLS OPERATE
TELEPHONES IN'FRANCE
Speak English and French With
Equal Fluency, and Surprise OBJ
servers by Their Defines.

PARIS, March 80. - Thirty-three
American telephone girls, who speak
English and French equally well, have
just arrived to operate the switch
boards in the various army headquar-
ters They have been divided between
the principal army centers, Paris, Gen.
Pershing's headquarters in the field
and the headquarter lines of communi-
cation.
American officers have been pleasant
ly surprised when taking up the tele-
phone receiver to hear the familiar
stead of the usual French equivalent.
Although the French telephone equip
ment is not as modern as that in
America. the girls are fast becoming
used to it, and officers remark that they
already notice an improvement in the
telephone service.
The French colleagues of these
American girls are surprised at the
rapidity with which they take down
connections, the Americans frequently
putting up one connection with the
thumb and the forefinger and at the
same time taking down another with
the little finger of the same hand.
All the girls are provided with a
regulation colored skirt and blouse
and a dark blue hat with the orange
and white cords of the Sig nal Corps, to
which they have been attached A
white brassard indicates their rank. A
blue outlined design of telephone
mouthpiece designates first class op-
orator; the same with wreath marks

ming flashes is used for the chief oper-
ator If the experiment with girl op-
stood, more will be brought over from

FRENCH AVIATION FEATS
OFFICIALLY COMMENDED

The work of French aviators in the
great battle on the western front is
described as remarkable in an official
dispatch received here from France:
French aviation is participating with
much effectiveness in the battle. The
results obtained are remarkable and
our mastery of the air is affirmed each
day. On the theater of operations our
machines, after having repulsed the
enemy fighting aviators, threw them
selves into the combat by squadrons
and groups of squadrons. Columns of
infantry and artillery conveys, BIZ
vouacs. munition depots. railways. the
principal enemy lines of communica-
ton, have been mercilessly attacked
day and night AS much as $4,000 kilos
of explosives have been thrown daily,
and thousands of cartridges have been
fired upon the German troops, whom
machine guns, descending nearly to the
level of the ground.
I'm many sections munition depots
have been burned and many trains were
were brought down which the intensity
of the battle prevented being counted.
Our infantry aeroplanes. flying in the
midst of the battle, constantly survey
the position OF our lines and those of
the Germans. Outside the battlefield
the aviation corps has attacked en-
emy railways and roads and has spread
itself over the entire front. Important
railway centers connecting the front
with the heart of Germany were
reached by our bombarders. The enc
my pilots were disconnected by the ra-
pidity and violence of our counter air
attacks. Great enthusiasm animates
our bombarding aviators as well as our
fighting and observation f1iers. many of
whom have died in bravery and au-
dacity together with our magnificent
soldiers during these difficult hours"
