Owing to the large number of men In the Army with entertainment abil ity, no effort is being made to send men from this side. Women, however, are wanted tor these positions In large numbers. 12# muet be sent out from this country every month, which wllf require the cooperation of every re cruiting agency throughout the coun try All entertainers are supplied with uniforms, Life, Accident and Health Insurance, transportation, and allow 1150.00 per month for living expenses In France. * i The womea should be preferably be tween the ages of 23 and 30, neat and attractive and possessed of a pro nounced ability In their particular line. ; The field for entertainment now reaches from the coast towns - in Fra nee j4ght rrp and Into Oenmmy; for while the **Y” cannot do much with the Army of Occupation in the way of Canteen, U can supply entertainment and is doing so on an Increasingly large scale Information may b« ob- , tain«-d‘from W.
