RAISE SERVICE FLAG
The Parish of st James Dedicate
a Service Flag with an I'M
preSSive Service

The parish of St. James raised a
service flag Sunday afternoon. The
exercises were held in the church at
800 o'clock and at the flag pole at
$50.
The service in the church consisted
of blessing the flag by Rev. Father
Trottier. This was a very impress
sive ceremony and carried home the
great work these boys were doing in
consecrating their lives to the SER
vice of their country. The flag was
carried from the church by the Boy
Scouts escorted by two young misses,
dressed as Red Cross nurses, Miss
Alice Farrell, and Modena Bonneau,
John Boyland, a little lad dressed as
a sailor boy, and the young ladies in
the Convent. The audience formed
in a procession following the flag.
The flag was carried to the flag pole
where the outdoor exercises were
held.
C. P. Streete presided at these
exercises and called the roll of the
boys in service. As each name was
called some relative or friend came
| forward and took hold of the flag
forming in the shape of a cross at
the foot of the flag staff.
The presentation was made by j.
W. Farrell and accepted by Father
Trottier. Hon. Harry B. Amey
gave stirring patriotic address and
presented two boy scouts of the
parish, Raymond Tracy and John La
fountain with government medals
for selling Third Liberty Loan bonds.
The raising of the flag followed the
band playing the Star Spangled
Banner"
Following this Thos. F. Houlihan,
editor of the Berlin IN. H. Re-
porter gave an able address on war
conditions that was full of fervor
and patriotism.
The service flag contains 36 stars
and speaks stronger than words of
the loyalty of these sons Of St. James
parish. Following are their names.
Earl Donnoley, Edward j, Me
Carthy, George Pomerleau, William
M. Lefebvre, Edgar Russell, Al

The flag was the gift of the parish
and the pole and fittings were given
by Frank Paquette, Jr.
There was a large number of
people present who were deeply i'm
pressed by the service and the sin
cere, stirring words of the speakers.

INCREASES WOMEN
EMPLOYEES 1881
p. r. r. ADDS THAT NUMBER TO
LIST DURING MONTH OF
JUNE, DUE TO WAR.

Philadelphia July 10.-A net gain
of 1881 in the number of women en-
p1oyed on the various Divisions of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, Eastern Lines
was made during the month of june
This is shown by the daily reports of
the Division Superin.endents On
May 31st total of 6,S73 women were
employed in the Divisional offices,
while the report June 30th, which has
just been complied, shows a total OF
1854 female employees on all Divi-
sions. This total does not include the
Departments in the General Offices
a. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, where
altogether considerably more than a
thousand women are working at the
present time.
| The latest compilation for all de
partments of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, Eastern Lines, including the
General Offices, has been made as of
June list, 1918 1t shows a total of
18,767 women in the service on all Di-
viaions and in all Departments at that
time. One year previously, on June
4 /, 1917, there were only 1915 women
/ employed, or an increase in year Of
6,S22.
The earliest compilation ever made
/ of the number of women at work in
all Departments was that of May /,
1917, which showed 1,494, making an
increase in thirteen months of 1918
Previous to the war, women were
very rarely taken into the service of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. In the
majority of the Departments none
were employed at all There were,
for many years, very limited num-
Der of women Station Agents and
telegraph operators. A few women
were also employed in such work as
cleaning stations, cars and offices, and
in the general offices a small number
We're employed in clerical positions,
but the total Of female employees
never at any time exceeded more than
a few hundred until war conditions
arose.
AT present, women are working in
sixty-nine classified occupations on
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and have
invaded many lines of employment
some involving manual labor-which
were formerly regarded as capable of
being filled only by men.

taught me how to put ii On quickly
and well, and then | went into a gas
house led with the stuff and it
worked perfectly we'll. In the door,
took it off for a fraction of a sec.
ond-only tear gas-and the tear gas
worked, so l feel quite comfortable
about gas. After going into the sup
ply systems with the officers in
charge here, l went to nearby camp
ana looked over messes, and came
here to his hotel for a good supper
but j missed bread for lunch, for in
this section they require bread cards
and had no bread card. Meat is
rationed in England, but bread here,
and in this section they appear to be
enforcing their regulations.
The country about here is quite
beau iful-long ranges of rolling hills
from the crests of which you can
look for many miles across the coun
try, and quite all the towns are pic
turesque and interesting. The creeks
run under houses, or perhaps the
houses have been built ON bridges
over the previously existing streams
one can't be sure which.
Still another town in France,
