ITALY MAY CONSCRTPT
 WOMEN FOR VAR WORK
By ANDRUE BERLING IA. F. Staff Writer)

ROME, May 23.-Women will play an important role in Italy's next war, to judge from reports publish cd by the Government Commit tee on Civil Mobilization.
 Prof Vittorio Franchini has writ ten an elaborate summary of the work of Italian women in the last war, giving exhaustive analyses of conditions, which leads to the be- lief that in the next war women will be mobilized for factories in the same manner as men are mobil- ized for the trenches.
 Professor Franchini concludes that men should be released in wartime from the manufacture of small arms, projectiles and instruments of precision, and that women, either volunteers or gathered in through system of conscription, should take their places.
 Italian women, always accustom- tQ bO ODStl Nlll5 liAtil PIa~S III eAiC home and appearing in public as little as possible, were thoroughly aroused from this tradition by the World War The committee fig ures show that in the first six months of the great conflict, only 14,000 Italian women were working in war industries, When peace came this number had jumped to 200,- 0GO and there were many more thousands taking the places of men in other industries.
 The report of the Mobilization Committee tells an interesting story of the development of women's work during the war The story comes under three periods. The first was a period of propaganga. Wom- en were taught to support their families, rendered fatherless by
