IA'OEiIEEN POLICE
 OFFICERS hiAKE
 GOOD IN LONDON
Police Department Will Re tain 100 Women As
 Regulars.

London. Sept. 6-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press)-After
 ten months of trial the higher au- thorieies of the Metropolitan police have decided that women police of
 ficers have made good, and the 100
 now on duty will be retained They must be Of good education, possess
 ing tact, lItndlincSs and q sympa- thetic nature willing to work seven
 hours a day for S1O q week and be
 ready at all tines for duty.
 The force was recruited from the
 patrc! workers of the National Union
 of Women Workers employed by
 the cor9ll11tsSi toner in 1916 to aid in
 the protection of the city. They did
 excellent work.
 The cessation Of hostilities, brought
 thousands of young officers from the fighting front to London, and the fear that an Orge of dissipation n might follow the rigors of life in the trenches induced the police to re- tain 100 picked women for duty in the night life sections.
 Their work was preventive in a large measure, particular attention being devoted to young girls who might be attracted to such places. So i well did they carry out the plan that their permanent worth has now been recognized.
 These police women may be seen any night in the West End, covering regular beats near the theatres and hotels in pairs, dressed in navy blue, with a business-like cap and regula-
 ton whistle, they work under the dt-
 raction of woman chief whose
 headquarters are in Scotland yard.
 If a woman is accosted by some man
 who does not know her she can
 cause his arrest by appealing to the
 woman officer, and it frequently hap pens arrests are made without com
 plaint.
 All women applicants for the force are trained for eight weeks in the regular duties of q policeman, but they are not sworn in as cOnstables, and they are only liable for such duty as the connissio oner may direct. All our women are most carefully chosen" said their chief, Mrs. Stan ley, but We have no place for the 'pru5e or the prowT-''

PORT CHALMERS GOES TO AID OF
 AMlMONOOSIC

Boston, Oct 13-Andety about the British steamer Port Chalmers which was reported on fire at sea Saturday night was dispelled today when ra- dio message from the coast guard cutter Acushnet said that the Port Chalmers was not in any trouble, and was proceeding with two other ves- sels to the assistance of the wooden steamer AmmonooSc The Am nonoosic, the message said, was leak ing fore and aft and would be in dan ger of sinking if her pumps gave out. The naval communications off, flee here ascribed the report that the Port Chalmers was burning to a confusion of messages. one of which said she was sending up rockets.
 IL was believed that the Acushnet would keep on and endeavor to assist the Ammonoosic although the exact location of the disabled vessel was in doubt, three different positions having been given In radio messages that reached the navy yard. The last re- port said the Ammonoosic was in lat ttude 39.11 north. longitude 60.23 west,

6. C.O.P.DELECATES PUT STAMP ON
 MACHINE TICKET

The G. O. P. convention held Sat urday evening was something of a love feast for the delegates and they had very little to do except put 9 rubber stamp ratification on the ma chine ticket which offers to the vot- CTS in the coming election the same cast of officials who have been in power for six years.
 Theodore Steiber was chairman of the convention and Frederick Brill was secretary when the organization was completed. denominations made were Clifford B. Wilson for mayor; J. Alex H. Robinson, for city clerk; Howard F. Smith, tax collector; c. E. Winton, Town Clerk; Howard S.. Challenger and Dr. Alfred c. Zones, Board of Education. John F. MaIoney, Joseph KaIafus and Donate Della, city sheriffs; Alfred J. Knapp, James Turner and Michael Iassogno, for seIectmen.
 Walter J. Garrity, assistant city auditor and recently returned from service in the army, was named as candidate for city treasurer in place of Moses W. Manwar ring, now on three tickets, who though a lifelong Re- publican, refused to approve of the present administration financial meth ods by allowing his name on the Re- publican ticket. Garrity is popular, but his nomination is regarded as a departure from custom in that he is one of the youngest men ever nom- ! mated for treasurer.
 The meeting decided that all that might be said in favor of re-electing the local machine could be talked in four minutes and decided upon a campaign of speeches of that length.

 OF PROTEST
Tokto, Tuesday, Oct. 7-CBy A. P.

Tol1to. Tuesday, Oct. 7-(By A. P.) A clamor of protest has broken out in Japanese labor circles against the alleged interference by the govern ment with the selection of the repre- sentative from the ranks of labor to go with the other Japanese delegates to the international labor congress at Washington, sailing on the Fushumt Maru on Oct. 9. The labor interests contend that the convention held for the selection of the labor delegates was packed and dominated by the capttalistic interests, and that thus the voice of Japanese labor will not be heard at Washington.
 In the present labor agitation mass meetings have been held demandinS the eight hour day and the abolish ment of night work, the gatherings being advised by minors, by women workers with their babies on their backs and by girl workers.
