WOMEN WERE
BIG FACTOR IN
Time OF WAR
Nearly 1900 Girls Enrolled
in Navy Department During
World War-0ne Recon-.
mended for Commission.

During the war 1880 women
were enrolled in the Navy depart
ment, navy yards and naval stations
throughout the United States, ac-
cording to information received yes
tcrday by Commander H. Post. in
charge of the Omaha navy recruit
ing office. .....
The women were employed as &C
countants, finger print classifiers,
craftsmen, clerks, stenographers
and typists. In the file room where
the record of every man enlisted in
the navy is kept hundreds of young
women were employed to keep these
records straight. SO that the Navy de-
partment would have an accurate
record as to where each man was
serving during the war.
The mail room was almost entire
ly in charge of women. Letters to
officers and enlisted men were sent
to this department and were direct
ed to their proper addresses.
A girl Miss Marie S. Damn, p
years old, was the first one to be
enrolled in the navy reserve force
as hnger-print expert. Forty men
and two women took the examina-
ton at New York. Miss Dahm
passed with the highest grade in the
examination.
The only woman recommended
for commission in the navy was
Miss Sue Dorsey, who kept track
of $500 paymasters and detailed
them to duty. When ship called
for a paymaster, she assigned one
from her list.

POWERS THAT HAVE RATIFIED

Washington, Nov. 21.-Avcnues of
speculation leading many ways were
opened up when officials and dipio-
mats turned over in their minds the
possible results at home and abroad
that are to follow termination of the
special session of Congress without
Sennte ratification of the peace treaty.
The thoughts of the treaty's friends in
the Senate centered on accomplish
ing some compromise for n ratifica-
tion in the session beginning Dec. l.,
and to that end steps are understood
to have been taken to ask that Presi-
dent Wilson ascertain from the other
mowers what reservations they would
accept.
At the White House silence was
maintained and callers got the impress
sion that for the present the admins
tratfon was willing to await quietly
the outcome of compromise efforts
among senators. 1t was not revealed
whether the President would permit
that policy to stand in the way of un-
dertalsing the diplomatic exchanges
suggested
Everywhere the Senate's action was
accepted as meaning at least long
delay in ratification, and officials
thought the formal establishment of
n state of peace between Germany
and the powers that have ratified
would proceed now without waiting
further for the decision of the United
States. The chief result, it was
agreed. would be commercial and fl
nancial.
Chief among the matters of domestic
concern affected by the Senate's delay
is wartime prohibition, which took n
new lease Of life with the postpone
ment of legal status of peace. In the
same class is various other war legisla-
tion, and altho the Republican leaders
in Congress will seek to end the wal
formally by a resolution, constitutions
al objections to that method are likely
in the opinion of some officials. to tie
up the effort for some time in the
courts.

II is known, however, that Secretary
Lansing will urge the President to
sever diplomatic relations at once and
to intervene primarily for the rescue

In taking this stand for aggressive

If it becomes necessary to intervene

would take Vera Cruz again and troops
would be landed there and transported

Jenkins is incarcerated. AT the same
