Cuban Government Takes
Bacardi Distillery Firm

HAVANA, Oct, 6,-lR-T h e
Cuban government today seized
the S12, 100000 distillery and brew
cry of the Bacardi company at
Santiago, Cuba, as result of the
company's failure to raise salar-
les of more than 1000 employees.
1t was the second time in three
days that an industrial plant has
been taken over. Monday the gov
eminent seized the Tinguaro mill
of the Cuban-American Sugar
company because the company
had failed to repair $1,000 900 OF
damage done in fire last Janu-
airy %, so the mill could operate
during the season starting next
January.
The sugar company is owned
by capital from the United States.
The Bacardi company has operat-
ed for 81 years as an exclusively
Cuban company.

Radio, Agitation Offered
To Volunteers For Waves
Women In Navy Eligible
For Many Interesting
Assignments

Many Wilmington women have
the wrong idea that most women
in the Waves are assigned to some
type of clerical job when they en-
list, according to Recruiter Jesse
Helms, petty officer in charge OF
the local Navy Recruiting Station.
THAT probably can't be laid to
any enemy ruse, but it is typlcal
example of transformation when
has kept, and is keeping, lot OF
young women from enllstlng VINO
would be eager to join if they only
knew the true facts" the recrul'er
continued.
The fact is, according to status
tics, very few Waves actually are
assigned to clerical jobs. Most OF
the young women are trained III
a host of other fields, such as
radio, aerography, medicine, store
keeping, photography - ana even
such trades as electrical, mechanl-
cal, carpentry and plumbing work.
otis all up to the girl" Helms
said. 1.-The Navy makes the great
est effort to place her in the 1lelo
she prefers. And that is under
standable, when you consider that
a person is very likely to do his
or her best work when it's the
tyne of work that appeals OF the
Individual.
Just because a woman has been
engaged in some sort of clerical
work in civilian life does not nee
essarily mean that she will be ask
ca to continue in that line in the
Waves. However, if she prefers
to follow that work, the Navy read
lily will make a place for her
for there are thousands of male
clerical workers in h Nays
ranks who are needed at sea in
other capacities.
Age limits for the Waves are
20 and so. Applicants need only
have two years high school. They
may be married-or if they're sin
gle and plan to be married, they
can do so as Wave. There are
no restrictions against marriage in
the Waves.
Twenty-year-old girls must have
the consent of their parents; girls
q and over quite naturally do not.
All Waves sign up for the duration
of the war, but may be discharged
before that time if the need arises.
Waves from this vicinity are sent
tc Hunter College, in the heart of
New York City, for training. Here
they learn to distinguish a destroy
er from a battleship, and to learn
generally Navy routine. They are
issued uniforms Immediately upon
arrival.
While in New York, they are
given frequent liberties, which en-
able them to tour the city. There
they are able to attend theatres
and other amusements fire of
charge, as are the service men.
They are eligible for the Stage
Door Canteen, which has never
been visited by civilian woman.
Application may be made in 20
minutes here at the Navy Recruit
ing Station in the postoffice. No
photographs, education transcripts
or other papers are needed other
than proof of birth date.
Information may be procured by
dialing 1868.

THE WESTERN 'FRONT.'
A PROBLEM

While it is pretty well conceded
a complete and final victory over Hit
Ter and his satellites, it more and
more takes on the aspect of a polit
ical rather than a military problem.
AS the Greek and the Balkan situa-
ton looms more and more in the lime
light, the Allies problem becomes
more critical and the political char
acter becomes more clear and the
hardness of a Western Front in Eur
ope becomes more apparent.
The Balkans, always considered the
European powder key, are on the
verge Of kicking over their ancient
crownheads as well as their invading
Germans are causing quite furry

would be of but small academic inter-
est to them, could their vested rights
be left intact Whether the govern
of Poland, Greece and
or the local forces oppos
ing them should gain control would
matter but little if their investments
were left intact and unmolested.
But there is the rub. 1t is well
