M.-llrmarkablc tcsti money to the MRcrnpin with which women want to fill the plarra of men who have " been called away from Knglanrt to fluht for their country is given by thn Wonwn a emergency corps, which, under the leadership of the durhes of Marlborough, has compiled a' register of upwards of l.i.OflO names of women who desire to be of service. "How diverse the Jobs they seek," says iMrs. Flora Annie Steel, In writing of the work of the Women's emergency corps' "may be guessed by the entries of over 100 Interpreters none of whom speaks less than four languages, and some of them eleven of more than 3TO expert horse women ready at a few hours' notice to serve abroad, and who are quite capable of managing or working In remount camps. Many of these, having shot and camped all over the world, are eminently suited for rough work. Then there are ISO expert motorcyclists, eager for patrol or dispatch work, iiid endless stalwart young women for such JobB ns omnibus conduct ing, milk delivering, gardening and the farm work that Is generally done by lads of 19 or 20. Army of Eltglbles. Of course, behind itnd beyond these more or less freak volunteers comes the great army of nurses, domestic workers, clerical agents and the numberless well educated, Intelligent women who are fully capable of shop and general business work. Naturally enough, qualified doctors, nurses and dispensers are drafted out aa soon as they come in. Cooks and do mestic servants follow suit; but every day's register points to the fact that we have here a mighty agent for the national good. "And so the Women's emergency corps feels itself Justified in making nn offer to the war office, the government and the country at large namely, that they are prepared to find a paid substitute for any man who enllstn; such substitute to guarantee to leave the Job on the man's return and to take over the man's belong ings as a personal charge; that Is to pay, while not binding herself to give pecu niary assistance, she will see to It that allowances are duly paid, that relief In special circumstances is given and gener ally, so far as in her lies, stand as a friend between the man's dependents and the cold world. "This is a big offer; it is one which, naturally, will require adjustment to each individual cose; but It is one which holds tnonnous advantages, enormous possi bilities:" Playground Expert Investigates Here C K.

MORE TROOPS FROM BRITAIN Expeditionary Forces Continue to Go to War Zone from Southampton. EVERYTHING LIKE CLOCKWORK Anrlnn Wheel of Preparation Work Into I'.arh Other with the Accarate Precision of at IIIk dream. SiU'T HAMPTON. Sept. 2S.-Thc dis patch of troop from Southampton con tinues, but the movements are now kept less secret thun during the passaRC of the first expeditionary forces. The record then made provided an excellent test of the facilities here for handling such a great movement of troops. Although the expeditionary force was dispatched from several points. South ampton handled the bulk of the lf0,0U0 to 20,000 men who were sent to the con tinent during two weeks' time. The docks at this place afford more than one and one-half miles of water front, with railway lines so close to the ships' docks that It Is but a moment's work to trans fer trainloads of men, horses and equip ment from the railway t the steamships. The precision with which the transfer was made was so marked that art entire train was frequently unloaded in three minutes und it was not uncommon for twenty trains to enter the docks and complete their tiusk of unloading within a single hour. I'lnnnrd Two Years Asto. The plan had been worked out by the War office two years before.- The small cars used for transporting horses, ac commodating only soven or eight ani mals, proved a great factor In the speedy transfers. Each horse had a separate compartment and the sides of the cars dropped down in such a manner that the animals stepped out without the slightest confusion. Some Americans who wit nessed this movement remarked that the cars were far more practical for this sort of work than the large freight cars used in America, Into which a number of horses were crowded. Scores of hospital cars still line tho docks here ready for the reception of sick and Injured returning from the continent. Ked Cross signs are displayed and sur geons and nurses are in the cars with everything ready for the wounded. The hospital trains are made up of con verted passenger coaches and sleeping cars. All have the small compartments common to English railway coaches, with doors opening at tho sides. Litters are provided which will enter these small side doors and consequently it is much easier to place the seriously Injured in berths than it would be if it were nec essary to carry them through the end doors common to American sleeping cars and along narrow aisles or hallways. Baggage cars have also been converted Into hospital cars, where patients can lie placed who need attention of a sort which can bo rendered more satisfactorily in a roomy car than in a small compartment. Home for Working Girls to Be Built Early in Spring John McDonald, architect, has been awarded the contract for plans for the Crelghton Home for Working Girls, to.be constructed across from the Central High school grounds, between Twentieth and Twenty-fourth stieet on lodge, at an exuenFe of Ilffi,i00. Thft money bequeathed for this home has been tied up in legal entanglements until recently. The plans will call for a four-story building and work on the home will prob ably be started early In the spring. I Judicial Drama. "Now thev say the late theatrical sea son was a frost In New York."

In the afternoon, crowds of people were seen going toward the fair grounds. I waa among a crowd of boys. When we got to the fair grounds, everybody was going back to the auditorium. I went, too, and saw some men Inflating a bal loon.. When It was inflated, thejr at tached a parachute to the bag, and every body let go. lp, up, up, It went until the man looked like a speck against the aun. Then he pulled a string which detached the parachute from the bag and he fell. He fell about 100 feet before the parachute opened. After the balloon ascension, we went and watched the races. Between tho first two heats, they had a wcstllng match, and between the next two, two Pawnee City boys did some tumbling stunts. After the races we went to see the exhibits in the auditorium. There were freak and other exhibits. Then we went to the free moving pic ture theater and saw six reels taken by Prof. Condra of Lincoln. They were In dustries of Nebraska.

One afternoon when we were out In our yard, we heard . a squeak that sounded like a bird In distress. We had heard It all afternoon.. About q o'clock we saw a little' baby squirrel. It was hungry so we gave it some cracker, but It could not eat. Its nest was up in our tree. After a little while, another one came crawling down the tree. I think the mother squirrel must have been killed or else went away and left them, sc they came out of the nest to find food. We put them In a box. We got some nuts and put them In their box, but thry could not eat them, because they were too young. That nlcht BO Farnam Theater "Trey o' Hearts" TUESDAY, SEPT. 29.

There was a eat not far from from tho tub, and she thought she would catch the bird for her dinner. So she crept up softly, thinking she. would get the bird. When she was near Uie tub, she leaped for the bird, but It flew away, and she fell Into the water. The cat was much disappointed when she came out of the water, and was all wet.

But many people think that the war will be ended by that time, and I think that everyone hopes so.

Trawlers Fishing in North Sea Have War Experiences LONDON, Sept. 36 A "solid wall of warships" Is thrown across the northern part of the North sea, according to thej rnptaln of a British trawler who has Just arrived from Iceland. The skipper said it was "absolutely Impossible for' any foe to break through "undetected," so constant and thorough was the patrol to the north. It was his own experience to be halted and searched and after be ing released his boat was followed by two torpedo boats until It reached Its destination. The thoroughness of the patrol was fur ther testified to by another North sea, skipper. His trawler was lying alonic shore, when shortly after midnight It suddenly found Itself hemmed In by a huge black ohject which proved to be a British cruiser. Its officers seemed to have hnd cat's eyes. From the dark a voice demanded to know th Identity of the trawler. H was promptly shouted back. " 'The name la quite correct, sir came another mysterious voice astern of us." said the skipper. "A submarine had crept up behind us and read our name. Al though all of our crew had come on deck to see what was happening, not one of them had seen tho submarine ap pear. The whole episode only occupied a few minutes and the cruiser, after wish ing ue Hlood mornlnn," and plenty of fishing, disappeared In the dargness."
