Six Hello Girls Help
First Army

Six women operators of the signal
corps-six American girls who
jumped at the chance to be there
were in at the start of the St. Mihiel
push OF September II, at the head
quarters of the First American
army, according to the Stars and
Stripes of September 70,
During the six days that followed
the Twelfth's initial heave they kept
on their jobs, handling an average
of 10000 words day over the eight
lines they operated, and working any
hours that were asked of them, day
or night
To Give Everyone Chance,
The lucky half-dozen-Chief OPP
orator Grace D. Banker and Opera
tors Esther V. Fresnel, Helen E,
Hill, Bertha NJ. Hunt, Marie Large
and Suzanne Prevot-were chosen
of a total of 225 girl operators all
just dying for the chance to go for
ward, 1t was a hard job to pick out
the ones who were to go, so anxious
was the whole force to get crack
at the big show at close range.
The six American girls, while up
front, rough it with the best of the
army, billetted, to be sure, but sub
ject to all the discomforts and dan
gers that come with being billetted
in the forward area over which the
boehe avions fly when they can.
According to their superior officers
both In the signal corps and on the
general staff, they have shown re-
markable spirit and utter absence
of nerves. And, needless to say,
they have filled every one of the 500
odd male soldier operators in the
A. E. F., toiling away further down
the line and answering the calls of
the telephone sextette, with a green
and ranking envy.

Miss Eleanor Sears in riding costume.
Miss Eleanor Sears, nationally
known for her athletic prowess, was
n of the most popular exhibitors
at the National horse show during
the past week and was one Of the
prize winners. She won her first blue
ribbon of the meet with Robin Hood
in the pen jump which taxed the
cleverness of a dozen Of the handiest
of jumpers.
The conditions called for each rider
sending his mount over with an in
and-out observation-disclosures
leaping the side bars to get out, and
then riding up to a post and rail
fence and without dismounting slip
ping out the top rail with riding crop
and jumping the remaining bars. All
this was quite as difficult as it reads.
Robin Hood. in the hands Of Joe
Collins, did all the required stunts
in capital style and without so much
as touching a bar.
Miss Sears has won renown in
many branches of sport.
She has won national tennis cham
pionships in doubles. She has held
scores of state and sectional titles.
She is an expert swimmer. She is a
clever polo player and a skilled
skater, as we'll as a graceful one. She
has ridden in an airplane.
She is the daughter Of millionaire
parents. She is well known in So
ciety, too, for her attractive gowns
and her grace and poise.

nothing which is half so charming

The milliners seem to have dis

were in dire need of food supplies.
They had money enough to buy what
was needed. but countries with avail
able SURPRISES had no ships in which
to ship the needed provisions.
About the same time, the Navy de-
partment. also learning of the situa-
ton, made arrangements with the
governor Of Morocco to let the un-
fortunate colony have 500 tons of
corn, with the understanding that the
amount would be replaced by the
American Red Cross from the United
States to France. For the time be-
ing, the danger was averted. Further
arrangements were made by the Navy
department and Red Gross. whereby
1900 more ions were put on a Unit
ed States transport and sent to
Madeira. Plans are now being per-
fected for the shipment Of an equal
amount each month as long as need
for assistance is evident.

k R'sa lrc RI,

Relief work on a far greater scale
than is now being administered by the
American Red Cross among the ci-
william population of the Holy Land Is
Immediately necessary if thousands
of men, women and children are to
be saved. This fact is emphasized in
a cable received at Red Gross head
quarters from DR.. John H. Finley, Red
Cross commissioner for Palestine, and
commissioner Of education Of the state
of New York.
One-third of the population Of Lee
banon has died Of starvation and dis
ease due to lack of n~ourishment, many
villages are depopulated and in ruins,
and thousands of persons are in the
direst need as the result Of epidemics,
prohibitive prices Of food and inability
to get work, according to DR.. Finley.
Families formerly in the best Of cir
cumstances have beer reduced to
restitution. Everywhere the people
are clamoring for an opportunity to
rehabilitate themselves.
Conditions in many of the hospitals
are deplorable because of the short
age of physicians. More than 10000
sick civilians lave been cared for by
the Red Cross in a single month and
Red Cross automobiles are transport
ing hundreds of wounded and sick
prisoners to the hospitals every day.
There are 10000 Armenian refugees
in and about Damascus and 5000
more in the Hauran district, the cable
states.
DR.. Finley says the Red Cross work.
ers have been doing everything to re-
lieve the distress, but adds that great
ly increased help must come at once
He recommends that the American
Red Cross send two additional hos
pital units to the Holy Land as soon
been approved by General Allenby, at
whose request the British wal office
has taken the matter up with the Red
Cross.
DR.. Finley made the journey on
foot from BeeEsheba to Dan in the
wake of the advancing British forces.
At the time Of sending the cable mes
sage he had just completed a tour of
Palestine and lower Syria, passing
through Nazareth, Tiberius, Tyre,
Sidon. Haifa and Beirut, reaching the
latter place two days after it's occu-
patton. DR.. Finley was present at the
opening of the fall session of Beirut
college.
America should be the first to help
in the rehabilitation of the Holy Land
which Great Britain and her Alliee
have redeemed says DR.. Finley.
THE first medium Of help should be
the American Red Cross, which
makes no distinction of race or faith.
Under the ~trusteeship of those who
recovered this sacred land, which is
the cradle Of three great religions,
b civilised world is now given ar
opportunity for illustrating the devel,
opment of its highest ideals for hui
