In August 1915. resolution was passed
providing that women who are DOING the
work of constables be treated as constables
ana paid as constabes. Women. there
lore, came on the regular police staff with
equal standing with those of the same
rank Women police patrol in uniform.
Their work consists in patrolling. at
tending police court, inspecting halls OF
entertainment, lodging houses, etc. Women
police have been officially appointed In
twelve towns. Their training, however. is
still dependent upon the Womens Police
Service, which is supported by voluntary
contributions only
AS along other lines, the women proved
their efficiency and usefulness by voluntary
service. And as along other lines the gov
eminent admitted the value of the GER
vice after the demonstration, and in Febru-
airy, 1917, appealed to the Women's Police
Service for 800 efficient women to work in
the areas in which government work was
beng done by women and specified that
constables, sergcants and superintendent
were wanted.
Later the government appealed for TO-
600 such women police. AS an evidence of
the remarkable and complete change OF

the compiler sums up, before entering into
details, the outstanding activities of the
Coast Guard during 1917, thus;
During the fiscal year ended June 80,
1917, the Coast Guard cutters and sta
tons were instrumental in actually saw

otherwise, the lives of 2,153 pcrsons-a
marked increase over the number saved
IN the previous fiscal year Altogether
there were 1884 instances of rescue worl,
involving either the saving of life or i'm
perllled property, or both. On board all
the vessels assisted there were total of
1876 persons, who were in more or less
danger, dependent upon circumstances in
each particular case of rescue Other than
the 2,l53 actually rescued, the persons to
whom assistance was given were saved

some kind Of definite assistance to the
public. The daily average of instances in
vovlng rescue, salvage and other humani-

OF such cases for any one day was 81.
