At the end of one month the birds

they will be trained in making flights

From this time on they will be

Here is an interesting excerpt from
the orders of the day on the arrival of
some hundreds of women into a vast
camp, which was the most homely
and perfect of it's kind I was allowed
to see in France. 1t tells more of the
spirit of the officers and men (who
hardly needed it's fatherly admoni-
tions) than I could easily describe:
'"The officer Commanding Base De-

all ranks to the following points in
connection with the Domestic Section
of the Womens Auxiliary Army,
which is employed in his depot:
These women have not come out
for the sake of money, as their pay
is that of a private soldier. In near
ly every case they have lost someone
dear to them in this war, and they
are out here to try and do their best
to make things more comfortable for
the men in regard to their food.
"It therefore is up to all ranks to
make their lot an easy and not a hard
one during their stay in France. II
any man should so forget himself as
to use bad language or at any time
to be rude to them, it is up to any
of his comrades standing by to shut
him up and see that he does not re-
