WOMEN IX THE ARMY
Both French and English Are Using
Them as Cooks and Waitresses.
The use of women in the British
army both in France and at home to
release men for the trenches is growing
steadily. The exact numbers
have not been published, but arrangements
have now been made for over
four thousand women in France;
over six thousand cooks and waitresses
have been provided for two
hundred camps at home, for one item
and about four hundred women have
replaced men as motor transport
drivers in the army service corps and
the royal flying corps, for another.
"The London Morning Post" gives
some interesting figures of economies
resulting from the introduction of
women as army cooks. Chiefly they
have been assigned to officers' and
sergeants' messes and hospitals. At
one mess the daily charge to officers
was reduced in a few weeks from
2s, 6d. to Is. 3d. a head, and in addition
100 pounds was saved for the
benefit of the, mess generally. The
charge at the same mess has now
been cut to 9d. a day. The army
council recognized the good work by
an increase in wages. "Instructresses
In cookery" have also been furnished
to army cooking schools.
At the bases in France and on the
lines of communication women are
employed in the following posts:
Clerks, typists, cooks and domestic
servants, motor drivers, storekeepers,
tailors, bakers, shoemakers, messengers,
telephone and postal serv
ice. "The enlistment is for the duration
of the war. A uniform has been
adopted for all women serving in this
women's army auxiliary corps, as it
is officially known. Its women are
placed directly under the control of
the commanding officer of the formation
or the officer in charge of the
P office to which they are assigned for
f duty.?New York Tribune.
.
Urges Construction of Roads.
lill
Secretary Houston, of the Department
of Agriculture, has set forth
the policy which he thinks should be
followed in highway construction
during the war:
"So far as it is practicable to do
so, this department will urge the
) maintenance of the highways already
fe constructed; the construction and
completion of those highways which
are vitally important because of their
bearing upon the war situation or for
the movement of commodities; the
?;V postponement of all highway con'
struction relatively less essential or
not based upon important military
or economic needs. The department
is preparing to suggest to the State
v highway departments the preparation
of a schedule of work for the Federal
aid projects for 1918 in line with
this policy."
Road construction and maintenance
in the United States involve
an annual expenditure of about
$300,000,000.
' V Australian Estates Given to Soldiers.
A recent report made by the United
States consul in Tasmania, an island
'(s . State of Australia, includes the fol,
lowing:
?y - - "The general scheme for the repatriation
of returned soldiers contemplates
placing them upon the
land. At a recent conference between
the Commonwealth and the
State authorities, it was decided
that each State would have to find
the land, while the Commonwealth
i Government would advance up to
- ' $3,433 to improve the holding of
each returned soldier and to procure
the necessary stock and implements.
,/ . In this State it was deemed that the
Crown lands would prove difficult to
improve to attract returned soldiers,
and it was decided to purchase large
estates and divide them up into
small farms and to use the money advqupoH
hv th? flnmmnnwpalth
Government for buildings, fences,
and tools. The money expended by
the State in purchasing the land, as
well as the money advanced by the
Commonwealth for improvements, is
a lien upon the property and must
be repaid in small annual payments.
It was also decided by the Commonwealth
to advance money to returned
soldiers who may desire to rent land.
Bills will be introduced into the >
various Parliaments at once so that
this scheme can be put into operation
throughout Australia."

One Hundred Per Cent Gratification.

TROOP SHIP IS SUNK
BRITISH SHIP TUSCANIA TORPKDOEI)
BY HUXS.
Of the 2,179 American Soldiers On
Board, All But 345 Accounted
For.?Others Probably Safe.
Washington, Feb. 6.?The British
steamship Tuscania, with 2,179 United
States soldiers on board, has been
torpedoed and sunk in the war zone.
Nineteen hundred and twelve of
of the 2,179 American officers and
men on board the liner Tuscania were
reported accounted tor in a cnspatcn
to the State department tonight from
the American embassy at London.
The war department announced
that its records showed the following
were on board the Tuscania:
Headquarters detachment and
companies D. E, and F, of the twentieth
engineers, 107th engineer train,
107th military police, 107th supply
train, 100th aero squadron, 158th
aero squadron; replacement detachments
Nos. 1 and 2 of the thirty-second
division; fifty-one casual officers.
The thirty-second division is composed
of national guard troops from
Michigan and Wisconsin. The division
trained at Camp McArthur, Tex.
The 107th engineers was composed
of the first battalions of Michigan engineers;
the 107th military police
was made up from the fourth
and sixth Wisconsin, and the 107th
supply train from the fourth, fifth
and sixth Wisconsin infantrv.
T
The war department isued this
statement:

"The war department has been offi
any auvisea tnai tne sieamsnip tuscania
was torpedoed and sunk and
that survivors numbering 1,100, as
far as could be ascertained, were
landed at Buncranna and Larne, in
Ireland. There was a total of 2,179
United States troops on this vessel.
No names of persons lost have been
reported to the war department and
no names of survivors were reported.
Additional particulars are promised
as soon as received."
,
1,832 Troops Saved.
Washington, Feb. 10.?Eighteen
hundred and thirty-two names of
American soldiers rescued from the
torpedoed liner Tuscania had been
reported tonight to the war department,
leaving 345 of the soldiers on
board unaccounted for. No official
report has reached the department to
change the estimate that all except
113 of the men were were saved, but
the names have been coming in very
slowly over the cables and there is no
assurance as to when the list will be
complete.
From the names so far received
and the passenger list of the lost
steamer the Associated Press has
compiled the record of those still not
reported. Probably more than 200
of the men whose names appear on
this record are safe in Ireland and
will be so reported soon.

GERMANS ESTIMATE ARMY.
Conclude Am?rica Has Only 40,000
Men Now in France.
Amsterdam, Feb. 10.?In their
comment on the sinking of the Tuscania
the Berlin newspaper Germania
and Deutsche Tages Zeitung effect
surprise that the big transport
only carried approximately 2,400
men. Thus, as "according to re- '
ports," sixteen trasports have arriven
in France, they calculate that only
about 40,000 American troops now
are there. This, they assert, agrees
with independent information at
hand on this subject.
Germania adds to this the assertion
that the sinking of the Tuscania
gave the United States a hard blow,
which for a moment "threatened to
unbalance" Secretary of War Baker.
"Even so," it concludes, "we do
not underestimate the importance of
America's assistance, but we shall,
nevertheless, look for further u-boat
successes."

^ IX MEMORIAM.
Again has death come into our
midst and has robbed our. chapter
of one of its most beloved members,
Mrs. Mary E. Felder. "God's finger
touched her and she slept." Just
so sweetly and calmly did her spirit
pass bevond the shadows that it but
seem'- 1 though she slept. Confined
to r bed for only a few days,
she was spared the suffering of a
long illness. It was thus kind and
merciful to her. Quiet and unassuming
in manner, only her intimate
friends knew the depth of her character,
but all who came in contact
with her were strengthened and made
better through her influence.
We, the members of our chapter,
grieve with her bereaved ones, therefore,
be it,
Resolved, 1. That in the death of
Mrs. Mary E. Felder the Francis Marion
Bamberg chapter has lost a faithful
and loyal member, and that her
memory shall be held sacred in our
hearts.
Resolved, 2. That we humbly bow
to the will of our God, who is allwise
and merciful and pray that it
may be given he^ loved ones to see
that God's plans are right and He
doeth all things well.
Resolved, 3. That a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the minutes
of the chapter, published in The
Bamberg Herald and County Times,
and that the secretary furnish the
family with a copy of these resolutions.
