ROTTERDAM, Nctherlrnds. Oct. 29
—The German empire, to some ex
tent become dependent upon women's
labor, declnres a German correspon
dent of the Nieuwe Rotterdam Cour
ant. In the hospitals, at railroad sta
tions, in shops and in offices, even in
the most responsible positions, the
work Is principally done by women.
In even first class restaurants girls
-d women have replaced the wait
ers. The traveler who enters a hotel
encounters a porter In long skirts,
who carries out his behests as quick
ly as before. Street trafic is largely
in the hands of women. Women con
ductors, drivers and inspectors are
dressed In the uniform of their male
colleagues but with skirts or bloom
ers on.
Passengers meet with bettor treat
ment than was the case with the male
staff. On the railroads women are
serving in booking offices, as guords
on the trains, or porters. Letters and
telegrams are delivered by women and
girls. Most of the few automobiles
are driven by women.
But the main work of women is ir
the factories. The skilled work has
now more and more passed into their
hands, as well as the carrying of the
heavy loads. At the turning bench,
at the furnaces, everywhere they are
met with. The wages at 7 or 8 marks
a day are equal to the men's earnings
for like labor. They work in blue
smock frock and bloomers with a sort
of sailor’s cap or cloth on their heads
with black gloves and rolled-up sleeves
and in the meal hour they are more
and more to he seen in the street,
even with bare legs, for stockings are
a superfluity in the factories and at
the furnaces and suchlike occupa
tions.
The results of women's work in the
mining industry are termed very sat
isfactory. The sorting of sweepings
| and old iron and brass, the unloading
of freight cars, is performed by worn
en's hands and arms, and a newcomei
is amazed at the way In which she
clambers about and lifts heavy loads
on her shoulders. In agriculcure the
women have always supplied auxiliary
labor but now also do the heavy work
like plowing, sowing and threshing.
Dress has naturally been brough'
Into accord with the new work. Oi
the railroads and partly on the streei
cars, skirts have been replaced by th<
bloomers and gaiters, and beribbonet
and feathered hat or cap or headcloth
But there Is a.sailor’s collar for th<
» uniform Jacket, and a flower in th<
button hole; the jacket is open at thi
neck, the cap is worn in slanting faBb
ion, a watch-chain is fastened on th<
breast and a bit of lace adorns tb<
sleeve*.

LONDON, Oct. 29—Ten thousam
women recruits a month for use ii
the Army Auxiliary Service are beini
appealed for here. The chief need i
for domestic workers, typists, and au
tomobile drivers. One of the recruit
ing posters says:
"Although the women must be rea
sonably strong, and reliable, it mus
not be supposed that their life is al
hard work. They swim, they havi
games and musical evenings and dan
ces, to which each women can inviti
one soldier friend. They play as hari
as they work, and they live a whole
some life.
“The women are under military die
cipline, but they do not march to worl
nor do they salute their officers o
officers of yie male army.”
The recruits will be sent to Franc
as fast as they can be enrolled.
