exchanges, and was followed by a short term at military cantonments so that the yount: women might acquire some familiarity with military terms. Lectures were delivered to the recruits by officers of the signal corps, frpeci.il emphasis beins Riven to the importance of lines of communication in modern warfare. Talks upon personal hygiene were given by woman surgeons. On March '2 the tirst contingent sailed, and a few weeks later American officers in France were agreeably surprised by hearing over the military phones operators who used American terms, pave splendid servive, and who could translate the message of a French officer to an American. Other groups sailed during1 March and April and are stationed in Rroups of 10 at supply depots or debarkation bases. The uniform worn by the women operators was designed and prescribed by the army war college. It consists of a coat and skirt of navy blu serge, tailored shirtwaist of r.avy blue palm öeach cloth or similar material. and the straightbrimmed hat of blue felt with the official orange and white cord of the signal corps. On the left sleeve of the coat is the brassard of white whipcord or doe-skin, bearing small devices indicating th rank of the we. iter chief operator, supervisor or operator. "It would ho impossible to brigade American troops without these girls." declared ('apt. I". J. Wesson, who recruited the unit. "They are going to astound the people over there by the effiCiony of their work. In Paris is takes from 40 to o seconds to complete one call. Our girls are equipped to handle r.00 calls an hour. "As they assist in the giving of commands concerning artillery direction and calling up of reserves, they have a tremendously responsible position. The morale of the unil is of the finest, and they did not com'1 into it without facing the possibility of dancer." Aral, from day 10 day there are reaching the war department other teports that show that America's "hello" girls are making good in a -trance land and under the most dit'icult and perhaps hazardous conditions.

RUSSIAN PRISONERS ORGANIZE AN ARMY

WANT WOMEN NEAR CAMPS PLACED UNDER WOMEN SUPERVISION

KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 17. Hope that the government may see the necessity of placing all women who work in or near military camps under the supervision of women vested with military authority, was expressed Thursday by Miss Maude K. Miner, secretary of the probation and protective association of New York, before the rational conference of social work. Some Juvenile courts are such in name only, Charles W. Hoffman, judge of the court of domestic relations at Cincinnati, told the delegates at the sectional meeting on delinquents and correction. Juvenile courts, he argued, were not founded as criminal courts, but as child-saving institutions, minus every semblance of criminal procedure, yet the judges of some, in the spirit of semi-vindictiveness, commit children to semi-penal institutions for punishment, and lashes and whipping p',sts, if not actually used, are at least suggested. They have deteriorated in some cities into mere police courts where children are "tried" and all idea of saving the child is lost, he declared. From fifty to sixty-five per cent of the children of divorced parents become delinquent or dependent, Judge Hoffman declared.
