DR.. Cockett is in America for few

October, 1916, to February. 1917, she
served in Paris, afterward going to
Salonica to drive for the Franco Ser

driven with the French artillery and
supervised canteens.
"Morally there is no limit to what
American girls can do in upholding the
AMERICAN soldiers ideal Of woman
hood" she said. con the other hand,
this is no time for narrow-minded
Christianity. One would think. to read
the newspapers over here, that war
was glorious business, but killing is
horrible work, and when q detachment
comes in from duty the men want to
forget 1t. How can you say to those
men: Don't smoke, don't dance and
don't play cards, because it is Sunday? ?
THE women workers have done par
ticularly good work. because they have
no preconceived notions of the duties
of Y. W. c. A. secretary. They do
anything they are told to do, and there
are opportunities every minute. The
men are not always so docie. I have
heard ministers rebel at being asked to
sell cigarettes and cards.

among the Scotch women. They had

up their own tents and made their own
sanitary arrangements. without any as
sistance from men. Titled women and
servants worked side by side at every
menial occupation. Their criticism of
American women was that we did not
understand how to get together
There are over 500 women workers
in the field at present. That is not
nearly enough. People over here

American woman means to our boys.
