THE WOMEN BEHIND THE GUNS.

StenOgraphers may win the war. At least
the last battle of the Marine which turned the
tide against Germany was won by stenogra-
piers, reasoning along the same lines as were
made famous by the celebrated recital to the
effect that "a throne was lost all for the lack of
horseshoe nall For, if the French say
American soldiers saved Paris, and the Ameri-
can soldiers say the big war welfare organiza-
tons saved them with hot chocolate and other
supplies when the commissary couldn't keep up
with the moving troops, the welfare organiza-
tons have said more than once that the girl
clerical workers have more than once saved the
situation.
Il sometimes think that this war is going to
be won by the stenographers," is the view of
Miss McCook head of the women's department
in Paris.
Women are doing their all for democracy's
cause by doing every bit of work possible, re-
leasing men to do the fighting, from the base
ports to the battle lines in the service of the

the I. W. c. A. and the American Library AS

Board and the War Camp Community Service
in the United War Work Campaign for soldier
welfare work
The number of women workers in. the war
zone, aside from the regiments of telephone
operators and stenographers sent over by the
United States government, is increasing daily.
AT recent counting the Y. M. c. A. had up
ward Of $50 women workers in France, the Sal
walton Army 1910 lassies, the K. of c. fifty
stenographers, the Y W. c. A. fifty and the
A. l.. A. a dozen librarians. The Red Cross, of
course, has sent over hundreds of nurses.
Seventy-fve "Y" women are in entertainment
work, from the ports to the trenches. Many
have performed under shell fire and in expecta-
ton Of gas attacks. All have endured hard
ships, going anke-deep in mud and rain to en-
terrain the soldiers. Four hundred and twenty
seven are doing canteen work, which means
everything from building fires and cooking to
mendlng socks. Some of the canteens are Off
GERS clubs where elaborate meals are served.
Others are counters over which they serve soft
drinks, gum cigarettes, chocolate and sand
witches.
In many cases they have charge of the hut

hardest job Of all, they like best, for it means
showing interest, being interested in all the
