GIRLS AS BOMBING PILOTS

This is the picture of the part women may play if and when Britain is faced with a great national emergency,

It is conjured up by Commandant Mary Allen, O.B.E., who, once an imprisoned suf- fragette, has since the war organised women police forces all over the world.

Their Job at the Front

She is now the head of the Women's Reserve, which is being organised to maintain national services in time of emergency,

Delicately bred wamen who had never pre- viously done hard physical work, tackled without warning the problems of driving big torries, Tarm Jabouring, making high explosive shells and nursing men with terrible wounds during the last war.

"Everybody to-day acknowledges the certainty that the next war, should there be another, will not be fought on the same lines as the last," she злув.

"Nearly every European 'country has or- ganised, in some form), what may be called a Women's Army, though not necessarily for actual fighting.'

In her book "Lady in Blue" (Stanley Paul, 10s.), Commandant Allen says that there is not the slightest doubt in the minds of com- petent milltary authorities in Europe now that women will have to be used and will almost certainly be enlist- ed for actual work at the front in the next great war.

"Women once forced to fight to defend their offspring, might send? overboard the whole system of rules and regulations by which even modern wors are waged," she says,

In the Other World”

"Since one cannot doubt nuch • foreign Press dispatches unless one wants to be crosscil off the list of clyllised people, I request/ you to belleve them and not to “disturb my peace in the "other" world. (Signed) Sulin.”~~~~Hete-
