Some Women
Find War
an Affront
BY RUTH MILLETT
TIRESOME TYPES:

-
The man who, simply because
he has a wife, is still sitting
around leading a comfortable
safe life, and spending his eve
nings telling anyone who will
listen how the war ought to be
run.
The woman whose son is safe
in this country, but who cant
mention his name without tears
simply because HER boy is in
the Army.
The woman who tells you in
dead seriousness that she doesn't
think she can get along on one
cup of coffee a day-and who
obviously is more worried about
the prospect of coffee rationing
than what is happening in North
Africa.
THEN THERE'S THE
HOUSEWIFE
The healthy woman with no
children and no other job than
that of housewife, who is get
ting gray hairs worrying for fear
that before the war is over she
will be without a maid.
The capable, well-educated
young woman who tells you how
quickly she would join the
WAACS or the WAVES if she
weren't married-but who isn't
doing a single thing to help with
the war effort.
The woman who belongs TO
several organizations doing war
work and can tell you how
poorly each one Is being man.
aged by the persons in charge.
The people who can read
about what our young men on
the fighting fronts are enduring
and still talk about the things
civilians are asked to give up as
Sacrifices"
The long-faced person who
apparently has decided not to
laugh or make anyone else laugh
for the duration.

otner requirements, equally or
more important.
Poise, that helps you meet,
mingle and listen rs an asset. So
is the ability to organize shows
or teach dancing, and likewise
enough of a voice to start the
boys singing. College graduates
are in particular favor.
II you possess all these attri-
butes, or some of them in gen.
erous quantity, you stand good
chance of getting the job-pro-
vided you have the essential
quality without which the other
don't count.
That is stamina with a capital
S, and any girl must have it to
qualify. For living isn't too easy
even in London, where most OF
1.-THE clubs are located, and it is
lot tougher in other overseas
centers.
You might find yourself in
Iceland, or Alaska, where it
would be part of your job to dis
regard the cold; in Australia,
where you would be hundreds
of miles from anywhere; or in
New Caledonia, where you
might have to slog through trop-
ical rains to the old warehouse
that you were TRANSPORTING into
a club.
1T TAKES COURAGE
And wherever you went, your
courage in facing the dangers
of ocean travel would be taken
for granted.
But these staff-assistant jobs
have their compensations and
pleasures as we'll as their dan
gers, as many young women al
ready in service will testify. If
you have the enthusiasm and
qualifications to join them; here
is how you get there.
When and if your application
has been approved by the Ma
tional Red Cross Headquarters,
you are brought to Washington.
There you must pass a physical
test and 60 through a rigid two
weeks training period.
During this period on are OBJ
served to find out where you
may be of greatest use. Then the
director recommends you for a
specific club. After the State
Department has given you
clearance and you have under
gone all types of innoculation,
you are ready 70 sail on the first
transport leaving for your des-
tination. Wherever you are as
signed, there will be two older
women, an assistant program
director and an assistant club
director, who will be in author
ity over you.
AT present, Red Cross clubs in
the British Isles are capable of
serving 10000 free meals each
day, and their dormitories can
put up 1000 mon overnight. But
more clubs are being planned
and built every day, and even
tually they will be operated in
every war area where there is
need for thin.
Red Cross field and hospital
recreation units must stay right
with the troops. For this reason,
the Army and Navy asked the
Red Cross to create a new phase
OF their service for men on
leave. So far more than 100
young women have been sent to
carry out this new job. And they
are going to be joined by addi-
tional hundreds.

SECRET. Most reports telling of Dutch
reaction to Nazi occupation of their
country have been smuggled out. But
here is one case where the Nazis tell their
own secret:
In "Volk en- Vaterland," Nazi weekly,
there appeared an article about school
children's compositions. Somehow, this
quote from l2-year-old girl slipped in:
Il went to the province of Drente for
the holidays. There were many Nazi uni
forms in the streets. Then loudspeaker
asked who would join to fight England.
So everybody went away and only men
in Naz uniforms were left in the market

NUMERoLOCY. With the draft well
into its second year, officials are now able
to come up with group of statistics
about it. For example:
In World War l, the first number
drawn was 258. In 1910, it was l58.
In the al draft lottery, the chance of

apparently derived satisfaction from pun
ishing men and humiliating them. The
Regulations were his Bible. Someone from
our company was always under arrest or
getting summary court-martial. The cap
tain never let us forget he was our superior.
We feared him and referred to him by un-
printable titles. He was an incongruity in
an army which was to carry out President
Wilson's announced purpose.
1t was great relief to the outfit when
Captain A. was promoted. The new COM
pany commander was so unlike his pre-
decessor that for time he seemed almost
too good to be true. To Captain B. dis
cipline meant self lf-discipline - something
for him to inspire and develop in us. He
was exacting but he never yelled. Our
shortcomings did not impel him to abusive
and sarcastic threats. He had a cool,
steady gaze - critical, to be sure, but
implying that he knew we could do better
He seldom punished; he seldom had to.
Shortly before he too was promoted,
had close personal encounter with him -
one of the most important experiences in
my life.
In addition to his duties as our company
commander, Captain B. was for time the
acting regimental paymaster. One payday
found he d given me $40 too much
1t was nearly 25 years ago, and am not
sure can present exactly the complexity
of my inner state during the next five
hours, but as nearly as can remember it,
it was something like this:
Life was full of lures, and was tempted
to keep and spend the extra ten. But was
not simply tempted by the money. The
thing was more complicated than that.
After the first excitement of my discovery,
the most important fact was not that the
money was not mine or that Captain B.
would have to make it good. 1t was that
had it, and no one knew had it, and l
could keep it or return it as wished. had
the power to choose.
A tremendous problem All that l had
been taught about right and wrong was
brought up against concrete situation,
unchecked by fear of exposure. That the
decision was to be completely mine at once
warmed and chilled me.

A. suspect would have kept the money
to get even with him. But Captain B., l
told myself, was not only an excellent COM
pany commander but swell guy too.
Before realized it, the temptation had
resolved itself: had decided to return the
overpayment.
Then moment of fear. Could be mis-
taken about him? He might jump all over
me for not returning the money sooner. He
was sure to ask questions; how would l
answer them? Well. l could say had just

"Oh, yes" said Captain b.. Il was
short. Then he gave me one of his cool,
long looks. When did you discover you
had been overpaid?" he asked slowly
Imeant to lie, but found myself telling
the truth: "Soon after you paid me-"
why didn't you return it earlier?"
There was lump in my throat so that
! could not speak.
You thought of keeping it," he asked
wanted to explain the whole problem,
but, fearing could not articulate it, said
merely, "Yes, sir"
Captain B. lowered his eyes and pom
dered awhile, then looked at me again and
said, "All right. Thank you very much"
managed to say, Thank YOU, SIR
The captain took my arm and squeezed
it as turned to go out.
Ihave thought of this episode thousands
of times. Why had told the truth and run
the risk of losing my company command
er's confidence? Because of the same thing
that had led me to return the money -
my feeling that he was all right.
Captain A. would certainly have bawled
me out and probably punished me some
how. Why didn't Captain B.? Human,
decent, wise, sensing what had gone
through, he knew that a reprimand would
have defeated my struggle. 1t would prob
ably have taught me that it wasn't smart
to do the right thing. His silent squeeze of
my arm - at once recognition and con-
graduation - was the master touch.
The episode had nothing to do with the
Regulations but it was the best kind of
training. 1t was democracy in operation.

any numbers being drawn in its proper
sequence was about one in billion. Yet
it happened the 666th number drawn
was 666.
In 1917, young men in Danville, Ind,
Albany and Syracuse, N. Y, drew draft
numbers 1890, 6 and 856 Twenty-three
years later, the sons of these three men
drew exactly the same draft numbers as
their fathers.
ABaltimore lady told her husband his
