LONDON, April 30-Since America
entered the war thousands of appH-
cations have been made to the United
States army authorities in London by
Americans in the British armies for
transfer to their own. OF these thous-
ands Just six men have been trans
ferred.
Learned this today when 1 pre-
scented the case of Texas newspaper
man to the final authority in the mat

years in the Philippines. When the
present war broke out ne was living
comfortably on satisfactory salary
| if there is such a thing-driving his
own Hupmobile. His comfortable po-
sition was the fruit of fifteen years or
so Of steady work and he thought he
wanted a holiday. Since the war could
only last few months, it would pro-
vide the holiday, SO he journey to
| Canada to join.
| Recently he was transferred from
France to Mesopotamia. Before going
he placed his application for a trans
fer to the U. S. army and after arriv-
ing somewhere east of Suez he wrote
me to investigate his chances. What
I found very quickly was that his
chances were none.
| You say he's in Mesopotamia? p
said the final military authority.
i.'That would mean that I should have
to ask the British army to turn him
Iloose-it's all matter Of courtesy on
the British army's part, by the way
to come from Mesopotamia on his sim
pie statement that he was coming to
join the American army. Granted that
your friend really would do it, and find
his own expense money for the trip,
you can understand that what we dc

BRITISH PLAN TO
ADVISE GROWNUpS

A plan to provide parents with
information and advice on the va
rious professions and occupations
which are now open to girls who
have a secondary school education
was the subject of a conference re-
Gently held in Bradford, England.
Mrs. H. A l.. Fisher, wife Of the
minister of education, spoke of the
fresh possibilities that every day
are opening for women, and ad-
vised girls not to look upon their
professions as the filing of an in
terval between school and mar
riage, but as part of their cOntri-
button to the world and to citizen
ship. In regard to dentistry it was
said that the probable extension OF
the medical examination and treat
ment of school children and the in
PRODUCTION of dental benefit under
the national insurance act woul |
offer great openings for women
dentists in addition to general pri-
vate practice.
The director Of the London cen
trail bureau for the employment of
women stated that the number of
women clerks in England had riG-
en- from 50 900 in 1901 to S94. 900 IN
1917. Industrial chemistry and
dispensing. agriculture, food con-
servation. domestic economy work
in canteens, hospitals, national
kitchens, and hotels, and the prac :
tice of medicine as careers were
also discussed.

MOLINE'S MARK
IN STAMPS SET
With s25,000 Already Subscribed
City Must Invest $50 600 More
In Next Half Year.

Moline thrift stamp campaign
will be held in June, starting
about the 10th.
The allotment for the Pillow City
is 100000, based on $40 per cap
tia. Up to the present time, with
nearly half of a year gone, APP
proximately $4,000 worth Of
stamps have been sold. In order
to make up the. quota by Jan.
it will be necessary for Moliners
to invest $575,000 more.
stamp committee is to secure
pledges in amounts from 500 to
$1,000 from corporations, mer-
chants, and individuals. Unless
pledges of this size are forthcom-
ing Moline fears it will, not reach
its goal in the succeeding eeyen
months.
Attention Is called to the fact
that in a short time coupons on
Liberty bonds will be out, and It
has been suggested that the peo-
pie turn the coupons back TO the
government for thrift stamps.
While there is no organized eff
fort at this time to boost the sale
OF stamps, the postal authorities
are exerting every effort To accel-
crate sales Of stamps. and these
sales are applied to Moline's quota.
