WOMEN IN WAR WORK

American women have been writ ing to their soldier sons serving in France with more affection than good judgment, according to reports that come back from time to time. Too often the letters contain expressions of anxiety and grief Small worries, also, are borne across seas and large troubles are frequently shared with the boys away from home.
 eff our mothers would not worry 1t would be better for them and bet ter for us,' is the cry of hundreds of our boys in the hospitals in Europe said Mrs. Edward Vickers, of Boston who has returned to the United States after passing three years in war work in England and France. Men with amputations staring them in the face will say this again and again." declared Mrs. Vickers' The mother comes first at the vital moment and the main anxiety is that she may not suffer When boy is lying in a hospital cot, every other sentence contains the words, my mother or my wife or my girl, and very often my pal
 And I would like to tell the girls of this country that men abroad re gard their girl friends at home in ac- cordance with the standard which the girls have set for themselves. That the girls they have left behind are worth fighting for is a sustaining thought that comforts the boys as they fight and when they must suf fer and die.
 Let all the letters from home be IS bright and as newsy as possible. Also, do not forget to tell the boys what the home folks are doing to keep up their end of the war. They want to hear good reports about the Red Cross, the Liberty loan and the War-Saving Stamp drives. If letter is cheerful and hopeful a man will tell the good news to his comrades If it is depressing he will take E: away and read it by himself in some quiet corner and it's influence is more ldT-IedCHluS lHdu the WflleT could ever have imagined it might be. So please tell every one at home to write cheery letters to their boys over there.'
 And do not let up on Red Cross or other war work" pleaded Mrs. Vickers. Don't think enough is be l ing done without your aid. Every single bandage you women roll and every stitch you take means just that much comfort to some sick O. wounded man."
 | Mrs. Vickers said the need Of nurses on the other side. is great. But let no woman go who is noi clothed with proper authority" she warned "No woman is wanted there 1 who is not efficient, or who is not qualified to carry on her trained work officially. If woman is not free to go abroad or not fitted for service over there she can help by staying at home and releasing some woman who is prepared for work at the front"
