Mai. Gen. Clarence G. williams.
chief of ordnance, is desirous Of
maintaining a more or less constant
flow of ordnance officers between this
country and France. 1t is proposed
to bring home officers after a period
of service in France and thus have
the benefit for the design, production
and other work in this country of
the experience those officers have OBJ
tanned in the ordinance depots. fixed
and mobile repair shops, service of
supply, etc.. in France and to replace
these officers by corresponding
number from this country. OF course,
more or less difficulties are involved
in carrying this policy into effect.
for ii is appreciated that Gen. Persh-
ing will be ioath to give up many
officers now engaged on important
duties. Therefore the extent to
which the scheme will be carried into
effect will depend largely upon con.
dltions and demands in France. In
the meantime the division heads Of
the ordnance office at Washington
have been ordered to go to France
for inspection and observation of the
ordnance establishment there and
then return to Washington and re-
sumo their duties, and some of them
already have gone. Those who have
gone or will go include Brig Gen.
William S. Peirce, head of the ad-
ministration division; Brig. Gen.
John H. Rice. of the engineering and
technical division: Col. Samuel Nc
Roberts, OF the procurement division;
Col. ThaIes L. Ames. of the supply
division. and Col LII. RuggIes, of
the inspection division; and Col. John
T. Thompson, recently detailed for
duty as director of arsenals. This
is a new place just established in
the ordnance office in order that there
may be supervision and co-ordina-
ton of the Industrial activities of
the various government manufacture
ing arsenals. In addition, Col.

Paris, Sept. 1e.-"Send at least
300 picked American women to serve
in Red Cross hospital huts and as
communication and canteen workers
in American Military Hospitals in
France. 1t is imperative that they
be on duty before November l."
This is the gist of an emergency
cablegram from the American Red
Cross Commissioner to France jus;
received at American Red Cross
headquarters here. The message
states that under the agreement
with the Y. NJ C. A, the Red Cross
on November 1. is obligated to take
over all Y. NJ. C. A. huts at hospitals
and to continue their recre t'ICnal
and canteen features. To assume
charge of the huts and to provide
for expansion of existing Red Cross
work for American soldiers, a large
ly increased force is needed immedi-
ately
Speed Up Recruiting.
The department of personnel has
wired all divisions to speed up re-
cruiting for this special overseas
force. The women to be sent, those
in charge state. must be strong,
cheerful, energetic. self reliant and
between the ages of % and 40. Those
with fathers. husbands or sons in
foreign service are ineligible. Wom-
en- capable of creating an invigorat-
ing atmosphere and who can bring
something homelike to our soldiers
abroad are particularly desirable.
Those women will be assigned either
to take charge of recreational huts,
whose purpose is similar to that OF
Red Cross convalescent homes at
our cantonment hospitals, to act as
casualty searchers, seeking informa
tion as to the killed and wounded
men for their relatives or to run a
branch of government quartermas-
ter stores. Still others will dispense
hot soft drinks, take charge OF Red
Cross libraries, arrange for French
lessons for the soldiers or assist in
providing entertainment for the war
weary.
All women who possess the quail
ifiCations above are urged TO apply
to the nearest Red Cross division
headquarters or chapter.
