TYPES of Women
Needed for War
Work in France

Miss Mabel Boardman, the only
woman on the executive board Of the
American Red Cross, who has just re-
turned from a visit Of inspection
abroad, answers the question, What
sort Of women workers should go to
Europe? Miss Boardman says:
Those who are absolutely repre-
sentative Of the best American WON
anhood. should be sent abroad: Our
women over there in relief work rep
resent the whole United States to
our allies and to our own soldiers.
They must be women of strong char
acter, who are able to face abnormal
conditions, who possess. perfect health
and an infinite amount of tact. This
Is no adventure, but the hardest of
hard work. The canteen workers, for
instance. must be ready at any time
during the day or night to be on duty
when troop trains r routed through.
when a woman a to me, I
want to go to France to do executive
work. I feel doubtful of her success.
But when q woman Says. 4 want to
go to France to do any sort OF, work
that may be expected of me- am
willing to do anything I feel then
that she is the material out Of which
q possible executive may be made.

obey orders and to work under rigid
discipline.
MANY persons have wondered why
we have sent American ONE for
canteen work instead Of American
men who are not in the army, or
English and French women who are
already owe there. In the first place,
the rolling canteens near the front
are conducted by men. The canteens
on the lines of communication are
conducted by women because it has
been felt that their presence is an en-
couragement to the soldiers. In the
second place, French women would
not be able to understand the SOL
diers, and neither they nor the Eng
lishwomen would represent home to
our men, which is the most essential
thing. Again and again canteen
workers told me that soldiers enter
ing the canteen stopped in the door
way with anlaZement at the sight of
them, and seemed deeply touched and
strengthened by finding that Ameri-
can women had come so far to help.
Zone of the great eason why it is
necessary to send American women
abroad is the atmosphere they throw
about the canteens and hospital huts.
I remember in this connection a hos
pital ward which the women. nurses
had made especially homelike. They
had utilized every sort of receptacle
for flower vases. Even Boche helmets
were filled with forget-me-nots, and
tin cans covered by old straw hats
were used Is baskets for field butter
cups.
1.-The greatest thing I brought back
from my trip was that we must take
home to our boys over there. We
can do it partly by making vi letters
just as full of cheerful home news
and normal life as possible"

EARNING DIAMOND HITCH.

Fort Bliss. Tex. June 2s.-Civilian

the known cinches by the veteran
