PROTECTING YOUNG GIRLS
IN VICINITY OF GIMPS
WASHINGTON, March 19—The war
i department has established a woman
| police force.
With more than a million and half
men already in khaki, and millions
more awaiting the call to the colors,
the department has turned to the so
1! called weaker sex for assistance in
i disposing of a vital war-time problem.
Thousands of young women have
^ gone to the vicinity of the military
camps. To sec that these girls are
protected from dangers, the depart
ment's commission on training camp
activities has appointed fifty-five
! women deputy sheriffs to do scouting
and patrol work. In all parts of the
country the women are on duty tinder
the supervision of especially estab
lished girl’s protective bureaus.
Girls actually resident in the vicin-1
ity of the camps are protected. Run-1
aways are restored to their parents,!
and amusement places are scrutinized
carefully. The work offers an oppor- >
tunity for the officer to exercise dis-1
cretion, sympathy, and a knowledge
of human nature that particularly are
her own.
These women are trained sociologic
al workers and so peculiarly equipped'
for efficient service. Their duties are
intensely personal in character and!
are concerned chiefly with individuals, j
Although co-operating closely with the
military authorities and local police,
they wear no uniform, badge or dis-j
tinguishing mark of any kind.
"Often,” says Miss Maude Miner, j
chairman of the committee on pro
tective work for girls, "the women pro
tective officers find girls in the vicin-1
ity of the camps who are attracted by
the presence of the uniform. Some!
of these are girls who have answered 1
advertisements and who arrive in
camp cities with insufficient funds;
others are runaways from their homes
in nearby cities and country towns.
A girl resident of the town, who is
disposed to resist discipline, is taken
to her home by the woman officer and
her mother warned of heT danger.
The officers also visit nearby amuse
ment places to discover young girls
who seem to need protection and to
see that local ordinances are obeyed."
FRENCH FRONT, Feb. 20 (by mud;
—That compulsory labor for the Ger
man conquerors is Imposed on French
women and girls, as well as on tbs'
male inhabitants, of the invaded dis
tricts of France, is shown in the or
der issued by General Volkers of the
flth German army corps, recently sta
tioned in the vicinity of Cambrai. The
text of the order is as follows:
"This group of troops will shortly
have need of 1,000 men for various
works. An increase of production
must be exacted from these workers,
and groups of women must be env
ployed whenever possible, especially
for work in the fields. Those tn charge
of these workers must bear in mind
that, at the present moment our Ger
man women are taking the places of
mate- workers and they should not
lose sight of the principle that no
French’ woman or girl ought to be al
lowed to do less work than our coun
trywomen in the interior.”
