Boston, Jan. 1.--One thousand
women are employed in the banks OF
Boston. This would no, be surprising
but for the fact that "A large proper
tion are employed as expert clerks
an elastic term---in all departments
Of the institutions.
The women were employed, in many
cases with reluctance, rs a war emer-
gency when the boys went marching
away but they are said to have
shown adaptability to the banking
business.
Miss Caroline p. Sickle, in charge
OF the woman personnel in an institu-
ton employing 31S women, says that
last year 200 women bank clerks oc-
cupied much of their spare time OBJ
tanning added knowledge Of the prin-
ciples and details OF banking afforded
by the evening courses conducted
for the benefit OF The Boston Chapter
OF the American Institute of Banking.
OF women i'm the banking world SHE
says:
Until within few years most po-
sitions open to women within bank
ing institutions have been largely in
the nature of stenOgraphic work. AT
present you will find women in almost
every department and when the de-
department head is consulted he will
toll YOU that the woman clerks
work is very satisfactory indeed.
Occasionally. we hear Of some
woman who has attained an executive
position within the conservative Cir
cles of banking although such attain
ments have not been at all general.
This is not n bit discOuraging, how
ever. when we realize that what we
have been given TO do we have done
satisfactorily. We need to realize
that the future may bring greater op-
portunitics and to be ready for these
we cannot have too great knowledge
relating to the principles and details

South Germany Overrun With Refu-

Karlsruhe, Germany, De, ST.
Baden, WuItcmerg and Bavaria are
overrun by refugees from Atsi.e ;pi

French is more bitter here, perhaps,
than in any other part Of tia. old Ger
man empire. In the Karlsruhe area
all the old prison camps and mAry
barracks are filled with families
which were dep0rted from Alsace, or
lof, because they refused to live un-
der French rule.
Several thousand refugees from AL
SAGE are sheltered in long wooden
shacks which formerly housed Brit
ish prisoners in the main recreation
park in the center of Karlsruhe.
These former prisons have all been
converted into residences by Alsa-
tians who have draped the windows
with lace curtains and given the wire
enclosed compound honey appear
ance by the display of potted plants.
The Alsatian refugees are bitter in
their denuncfation Of the French.
They tell tales of how the French ex-
pei families from Strasburg and 9TH
err cities on the statement OF unfriend-
been propagandiZing for Germany
and working against France. -
The Alsatians are especially inAig-
nant because German has been
abolished from the schools OF Alsace.
where they say great majority OF the
population is German speaking and
will migrate rather than abandon it's
natal language. Refugees from Metz
and other parts Of Lorraine are less
critical about the language question.
They admit French wa sthe predomi-
nant tongue in Lorraine.
Nearly all the refugees with whom
the Associated Press correspondent
talked were very sharp in their criti-
cism Of the attitude OF the old Ger
man government toward Alsace and
Lorraine and frankly admitted the
unyielding policy of Germany toward
the two districts afforded the French
an excuse for their attitude toward
the distinctly German population.
