Women Police MunitIon Sh6ps.


A distinctive wartime develop
ment in English industry has been
the establishment Of women police
forces in factories where women
are employed The have multifar-
ious duties and perform them very
effectively, according TO reliable in
formation to the department Of
labor
The women police began their
~ Ger in the summer Of 1916, when
it became evident that further
measures were needed for the su-
pervision of women in munitions
work than had been adopted up TO
that time.
The women police examine pass
ports, check the workers as they
enter the factories. search for such
contraband articles as matches.
cigarets and alcohol, patrol the fac
tory neighborhood and assist the
police magistrates
The patrol is a highly important
feature of their service, for many
OF these plants are located in lone
ly spots, and practically all of them
are going full blast night and day
Even within the factory Enclosures,
the policewomen are needed, for
these are in some instances six
miles long. and women making ex-
plosives must often work in isolat-
ed huts at long distances from 9th
er structures
So valuable has the work Of the
policewomen proved that their re
tention in industry after the war,
so long as conditions necessitate
the employment Of women under
present conditions or conditions
approximately similar, is fully ex-
pected.

SECOND HOLDUP
TRIED BY NEGRO?

George Rind, living at the corner
Of Sixth avenue and Thirteenth
street, was another victim of the
negro holdup man Sunday night
At Third avenue and Tenth street,
the negro stepped from behind a
fence and commanded Rind to keep
quiet, at the same time putting a
revolver close to his face. Rind
called for help and the negro ran.
1t is thought that the same man
was the one who held up Charles
Farther, 308 Twenty-first street, at
Sixth avenue and Eighteenth street
the same night and took $3.50 in
cash and a gold watch.

NAME OF BRITISH
GENERAL FULL OF
TERROR TO TURKS

Indianapolis While the name OF
General Allenby, the victorious
British general in Palestine, has no
more meaning to the Americans
and English than the name of any
other good general, to the Turks
it is horrifying in meaning, no
matter how pronounced, according
to Seraph Ashjian, a local business
man, familiar with the Turkish
language and many Of the customs
of that country.
Mr.. Ashjian says the Turks do
not want to pronounce General
Allenby's name correctly. but the
more they have twisted it the worse
its meaning has become In con
nection with the victories the
British have won, he says, the
Turks probably have associated
the name. Following are some Of
the prOnunciauons of the names
the Turks have used and their
meaning In English:
Allah hun hey Pasha - Gods
chief general.
A-lai-en-bey Pasha-The chief OF
all generals.
A-lan-bey Pasha-The chief gen
eral that has taken lThis term IS
used in Turkey when a general has
conquered and taken a territory
Ye-lan-bey Pasha - Snakelike
chief general "A wEl planned
is always termed
by Turks as snakelikeJ
A-Iun-bey Pasha-O. your hand,
chief general
E-lin-bey Pasha-O, you alien

O-lan-bey Pasha-O boy! The
chief general.

thought that it will now be of more
assistance than ever since there
are so many more women compelled
to work during the day because of
their husbands fighting overseas or
in training at the different canton
ments in this country 1t is hoped
that the women of this city will
not hesitate to leave their chill
dren in the care of those in charge
of the settlement nursery because
they may rest assured that every
thing will be done for their welfare
and comfort.
