1t was something of a new sensa-

I know we all arrived safely over
here. We passed .througFYwhat one
of the natives said was the most
beautiful parts of England. The
women were working in the hay
fields, on the railroads, in the fac
tories, and as conductors on the
street cars, and are in fact doing
most everything the men formerly
did.
Here in France the people seem
to have more and it looks a good
deal like our own country in a good
many ways, except for the way they
live. The streets in the place where
we are are small and they are
paved with rock and the buildings
are most all made of stone. 1t is
hard sometimes to tell whether a
building is a house to live in, a

ter Marines VIII Probably Be
Disappointed.

VIII Accept Only Girls Who Live
Near Stations Where Services
Are Needed

A number of young women who
nave been DESTROYS of enIisting in
the marine corps as clerks will no
doubt be much disappointed to
learn that probably none will be
accepted from this vicinity.
several local young women who
wrote TO marine headquarters at
washington to obtain information
ana TO file proof of their ability as
clerks, have received answers that
leave little hope for their acceptance
in the marines,
Not that the young women are
not su1nclently capable of doing the
work required, but they have been
informed that as but comparatively
few, in contrast with the number of
applicants. will be accepted as it has
been decided that these will be tax
en- from localities that are in the di,
rect vicinity to the camp or other
station where the services of the
young women are required.
Many Applications.
The marine recruiters in Rock
Island announce that between 200
and 300 women have appeared at
the local station and applied for
enlistment.
The recruiters expect orders
within the near future to resume
the enlistment of men, and every
thing is in readiness to give final
examinations to approximately rs
who have taken the preliminary ex-
animation.
