FEW women are permitted to serve directly In the operation of the war, but It is gratifying to know that when a call for women for apeclal active war service is Issued by the war department they are recruited quickly and efficiently. The signal corps called for, and has sent abroad, 100 trained women telephone operators who speak both French and English, to work in military telephone exchanges In bases of supplies and points of embarkation. The signal corps seit out this call at the request of Gen. Pershing, commander of the American expeditionary' forces, i Th'group of 100 girls the first girl to; go to France as members of the American expeditionary forces is composed for the most part French girls who have come to Amer. ica to live and of American girls who have lived In France.

The unit was sent in three groups of about thirty each. The first and second groups were made up of girls who had experience as telephone operators, and the third group of girls who had been given intensive emergency training. Early in January of this year the first group of girls entered the training schools to be trained In advanced telephony. They then practiced in the largest private branch exchange in New York, followed by three days' work In cantonment telephone exchanges, to acquire familiarity with military terms. During the period of training military drill was given to these women every day, and lectures were delivered to them by officers of the signal corps on the duties and the traditions of that branch of the army.

The Importance of the linen of communication in modern warfare was explained to them, and they were given a resume1 of the various duties of the divisions of the signal corps. Also, they were given talks by women surgeons on personal hygiene. According to the official bulletin of the federal service for May 21, the first contingent of telephone girls sailed about the first of March, and later in the month American officers In France were agreeably surprised by hearing over the military telephones operators who used American terms, gave splendid service, and who could translate the message of a French officer to an American officer, or vice versa. The second group sailed the middle of March, and the third during the latter part of April. Tho members of the woman's telephone unit were required to pass strict health examinations, and were inoculated and vaccinated in the same manner as American soldiers.

To the ever-laxting credit of womankind be it said that out of sixty girls who were inoculated not one fainted. An officer who lias seen many soldiers go through tho same ertleal said this was most un-UMual. The American captain who recruited this unit says it would be impossible to brigade an American troop without these girls; and he assures us they are going to astound the people over there by the efficiency of their work. In Pails it takes from forty to sixty seconds to complete one telephone call, while our girls are equipped to handle "00 calls nn hour. Every American woman may well be proud of this Hist feminine contingent to the American expeditionary forces.

I lived with my parents in a plac-t railed Lone Hock Valley, near Ma uston, Motinton wu a small town in thoie lays, ns the ountry round about was unbroken, and the few settler in the valley were newcomers. There were many Indiann camped by. At times they were friendly and to tho farmhouses to for food, which was nearly always given them to keep them pacified, for every once In a while we would hear rumors cf a threatened massacre of the whites, Many of the women were frightened and hid whenever they saw Indians npproachlng.

One woman hid with her little girl of 5 In a wheat field when she learned that a number of drunken India nti were coming that way on their ponien. My father nnd I were going "home from our work crosslots when I espied this neighbor woman crouching in the wheat ner.a clump of bushes. I wouldn't havevseen them, probably, but for the tow head of the child. 1 drew my father's attention to them and he went nearer to investigate, just as a naked Indian rose up from the other side of the bushes and aimed a tomahawk straHfht nt the child's head. Everybody went armed in those days rn account of the Indians, and my fattier reached for an old revolver In his hip pocket.

I must have realized that it would be too late, for I shouted at the eavuge to stop, at the top of my voice. Taken by surprise, he lowered the tomahawk, and seeing the revolver my f.ithcr had leveled at him by this 1 in are a lover of literature, bein" espeoJal ly fond of history.

I was standing outside of church talking with a number of friends when a woman whom I had not seen In several years and in fact had almost forgotten came over to me an made her-, self acquainted.

Some time later 2 noticed broad unites on-the faces of S1 the passengers, and to my consternation they seemed directed towards myself.
