WOMEN ENLIST IN
BATTALION OF LIFE
Sunshine Division of Home Service
Rivals Battalion of Death in
Real War Work.
Russia’s Battalion of Death made
Its women immortal by death-defying
action at the front. America’s Bat
talion of Life bids fair to merit im
mortality by its life and strength giv
ing action in the home trenches, con
necting directly with the men who go
over the top.
A new kind of women’s army has
come into being. It is called the “Sun
shine Division.” It started under un
us-ual circumstances. Margaret Mood
row M’ilson, the president’s daughter,
known for her patriotic war service;
her aide, Major Oakes, and a small
_ ..<? Miss Mar
jorle Brown of Atlanta, Ga., daughter
of one of the leading men of the south,
aud a relative of the president, were
discussing women’s part in the war
and the importance of enlisting the
effort, talent, and activity of every
woman in the country. The need of
organization and direction of that time
and talent not already devoted to defi
nite war work was recognized, and
out of the discussion came plans for
conserving the patriotic effort of every
patriotic woman, and more especially
the young women of the country. The
“army” to be recruited was designated
the “Sunshine Division.” Its scope of
service is limited only by the ability
of the enlisted women to serve, and
there is no woman ineligible for serv
ice except she who is already doing
tmr utmost to help win the war. Par
ticulars are available from MaJ. A. P.
Oakes, now stationed at United War
Work headquarters, Dallas, Tex.

A QUIET PLACE TO READ ^
This Red Triangle man has charge of a “Y” hut near the front in an old
chateau. When Fritz takes a notion to drop shells in, around, near by and
over the chateau the place is not very well patronized by the soldiers. Then
it gets lonesome for the “Y” man and he decides it is a good rime to read a
chapter from his Bible. So he seeks out soqm quiet (?) place—say a dugout—
where he can read in peace. A “Y” man has have his rest like anyone else.
Then who can blame him for finding a secluded, comfy dugout where he can
hang up his tin hat and take a fifteen minutes’ vacation?
“THE SUNSHINE DIVISION”—
WOMEN’S ARMY
The “Sunshine Division” is the name
t,! a newly organized “army,” made up
of women who want to help win the
war. The idea originated during the
recent concert tour of army camps
made by Margaret Woodrow Wilson,
the president’s daughter. As the name
indicates, the new army has a special
responsibility for strengthening the
morale of the soldiers at home and
overseas, thereby contributing direct
ly to the success of the American and
allied arms. A plan is being evolved
to enlist women-in every community to
become soldiers in the “Sunshine Di
vision,” their services nfit necessarily
taking them away from home. Par
ticulars may be had from one of the
sponsors of the idea, Maj. A. P. Oakes,
now stationed at Southwestern Life
building, Dallas, Tex. ^"3
