Women VII Add Home Touch
toPeace- line Army Barracks

To preserve the atmosphere Of
home in army barracks Is the aim
of the War Department in build
ing up its peace time fighting force.
The invaluable humanizing touch
of feminine presence gained during
the war will not be sacrificed, army
chiefs declare
Women civilian employees are
added TO the army payroll every
month. In each Of the divisional
camps woman Is in charge Of the
soldier actors who stage weekly
shows. This practice was started
In the A. E. F. after the armlstice
was signed. -
Women stenographers have been
found nearly equal to men as field
clerks for camp service, the war
chiefs say. A corps of 20 has
been assigned recently to the Third
Division headquarters at Camp
Pike, Ark. Others are on duty at
Camp Gordon, Ga. 1t is planned to
have these pretty stenographers
take down the commanding gener-
ais orders in all the divisional
camps.
Even schoolma'ms for the big mil
itary camps have been suggested
in line with the War Departments
plan for education of its dough-
boys,
To take charge of these women.

Officers Sleep
Beside Priuates
in Cemeteries

No un-American policy OF carry
ing military rank into the grave
yard and setting aside special plots
of land for oficers' graves will be
followed by the War Department,
say officials. when bodies Of Ameri-
can soldiers in France are concen-
trated in the cemeteries at Ro-
magne. Suresnes and Belleau. desig-
mated as the permanent American
Fields of Honor in France.
After a special investigation, the
War Department has adopted a per-
manent policy in regard to the care
of soldier graves overseas. Among
the recommendations approved by
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker
are:
That headstones and markers
be vigorously uniform and erect
ed by the government. and that
in the making of permanent plots
there be no segregation into dis
tinctive locations on the basis OF
rank.
That an advisory war memo
rials council be appointed. having
representatives from the several
interested organizations and hav-
ing committees on hostess houses
and commemorative art designs.
That the War Department pro-
cure the advice of the Committee
--son CommemoEatiusrAE Art OF the War
Memorials Council in matters
concerning the design of statuary
or structures to be erected over
seas under the authority of the
department; and that the Coop
Grafton of this committee be
available for those communities
or societies wishing to consult it
regarding the proposed form of
war memorials.
Much criticism was stirred up at
first when II was learned that
graves had been arranged accord
ing to rank, but American officers
claim this resulted from the Euro
pean practice which was followed
when men were buried in French
cemeteries.
