,THE SECOND LINE
OF DEFENSE
THE BLUE TRIANGLE
ON BABEL'S TOWER
From tire Mississippi vnlley to the
fliuti ng front In Flanders Is not as fnr
todnr ns tl.o distance from Purls to
Berlin. The Atlantic ocean Is not ns
wide i's the River Somme. The girl
In the munition factory In the middle
West lc very close to her brother In
the froli.-llnc trenches. If her work
falters, I one untrue torpedo passes
the cnrcfol scrutiny of the Inspector,
the lives .if AtniTlcnn soldiers pny
the pi Ice.
It Is ns narossnry to keep the girl
who makes tro shelln physically fit
and high of corrage ns the man who
llres the sun.
The glory and excitement of war
are for the man In khaki. Grinding,
monotonous labor far away from the
Hying Hags and mnrtlal music Is the
portion of the girl who makes muni
tions. One nnil a half million women and
girls have marched Into the service of
the United Stntes government, to take
xthc places of the men who hove been
cnllcd to the colors. With every draft
and with the opening of every muni
tion cantonment the number Is mul
tiplied. These girls work long hours
nnd the work Is hard nnd monotonous.
Furthermore, they work nt high nerv
ous tension. On the skill of their fin
gers and the accuracy of their eyes de
pends the lives of mnny soldiers, the
winning or losing of many battles.
"I can't sleep nt night because I'm
so nfrntd I inny have passed on some
thing thnt was not quite true," said
ono young girl not yet In her twenties,
who Inspected hundreds of torpedoes
every day.
ITnlpsg Hntnotlilnc' rnn mnlto this clrl
forget nt night, and find some rest, her
hnhd will lose Its cunning.
"Nights and Sundays," said another,
"I walk and walk, and I never go tho
same route tiylcc until I have worn
out nil tho others, nnd yet I can't for
get that perhaps some time, somehow,
during tho day something mny have
gone through thnt was not quite right."
"I was Just on tho edge of going
back home," snld another. "I couldn't
stand It. Then tho recrentlon leader
naked mo If I played basket ball, and
I told her I was too old. I'm twenty
eight. She Insisted thnt I just try
throwing the ball, and now I'm captain
of the basket ball team. I play tennis,
nnd enn 'set up' nnd 'wig-wag,' nnd
they're going to make me forewoman
of the room. Thnt would bnve fright
ened mo to death once. But every
thing Is different now, that wo have
our War Servlco club."
The war department lind seen the
need of occupations for out-of-work
hours If tho employees were to work
nt their greatest efllclency, and through
the ordnance department asked the
Young Women's Christian Absoclatlon
for recreation leaders, to lino up tho
girls and direct their free-time pleasures.
The government reminded tho Y. W.
C. A. that as an organization It always
had had an Interest In tho right hous
ing of girls, in tho right feeding of
girls, nnd In the right education of
girls, nnd that the Intelligent care of
these girls In tho munitions factories
was one of tho essentials in tho win
ning of the war. The government
could house nnd feed them. It could
put up recreation buildings, but when
this wns done It was ns helpless ns the
father of n motherless girl. The gov
ernment is a composite mini. Ho didn't
know what n girl should do when tho
sir o'clock factory whistle blow. He
only Knew sue needed looKlng t f r
and be called to. the ono womnn't. i
ganlzatlon that for half a century had
mndo n study of the needs of girls.
Vaguely, ho had an Idea that she
should bo encouraged to plnyi that
she needed wholesome recrentlon, and
somo one, wlsa Mid sympathetic as n
'careful mother, to guldo her social ac
tivities. The Blue Triangle sent Its play lady
to salute nnd go to work. Workers nro
asked for in recreation buildings of
all tho 22 federal Industrial reserva
tions or munition cantonments which
have been opened this summer in sev
eral of the stntes. Theso reservations
sprung up out of tho very fields in a
few weeks. They nro employing thou
sands of workers. Many of theso
women bnve come from fnr dlstnnt
homes. The government provided
dormitories and mess bnrracks. In
some places It Is putting up recreation
buildings. Whcro such n building Is
not provided by the government, tho Y.
W. 0. A. will furnish It, using ono nl
ready standing when available, and
building when thnt Is necessary. All
theso buildings, whether government
or ussoclatlon-owned, will opernto un
der the sign of tho Bluo Triangle. They
will have big living rooms, assembly
rooms for entertainments, club rooms,
nnd gymnasiums. Tho Bluo Trlanglo
will furnish n program of servlco work,
educational classes, games and enter
tainments. Military and signal corps
drills will bo in charge of soldiers.
In Washington, tho members of the
Business Women's council, n Blue Trl
anglo lenguo of the Y. C. A., made
up,of&1rl government employees, drill

parked to watch the drill.
.Wherever possible tho recrentlon
equipment Includes n field somowhero

War clubs nre n part of the plnn nnd
membership In these Involves a pledge
to rwive to tho best of the girl's abil

spirit of service.
Lucln pulled bet shawl farther
across her face and shrank down on
the station platform bench as the solid
bluo figure suddenly bent down over
her. Excitedly she shook her head In
answer to the question that she could
not understand. She searched through
her red plaid waist for tho paper that
Tony bad folded Into n little squnro
and given to her. The writing on It,
In the English that Tony knew nnd she
did not, told tho house where she lived.
Tony hnd explained It all to her that
morning. Ho hnd told It to her ngnln
nt the station. Then, waving his hat,
bo had disappeared Into the train wlib
the rest of the miyi, and Lucia hnrt
been left standing oueslde the gate.
There were crowds of women pushing
all about her. They were weeping.
So Lucia wept, too.
Lucia had been betrothed to Tony
in the old country. Five years before,
with n long ticket for Now York
pinned into his Inside pocket, her lover
had left hor. Jle wrote In every let
ter that he had made her n homo In
tho new country. Her dowry money
hnd finally provided her own transpor
tation, nnd for two months Tony nnd
she hnd been murrled. Then ho hnd
drawn n ticket with a number on It,
nnd tills morning lie hnd gone off to
wnr.
To the policeman Luciaold all these
things In rapid ItnlLnn. But the po
llcemnn only talked back to her as
rapidly In n language that wns not
Itnlinn. She followed him dumbly to
headquarters. An hour later a wom
an wearing American clothes gently
began tnlklng to her in beautiful Ital
ian. Italian Lucia was only one of thou
sands of foreign-bom women, Syrians,

Notice is hereby given thnt tho
detailed plans and specifications of
the work proposed to be done by
Homer Drainage District, together
with an estimate of tho total cost of
such contemplated improvement as
adopted by the Board of Directors of
the Homer Drainage District has
been filed witli the clerk of the Dis-j
trict Court of Dakota County, Ne-j
brnska, nnd that an election will be
held in the district court room in
the court house in Dakota City, Ne-j
braska, on the 2Gth day of November, I
A. D. 1918, for the purpose of de
termining which of said plans,

anians, Pollfili, who, when the draft
called their men folk to the American
colors, asked In helpless confusion
wlint It wns nil nbout. When would
their men bo back? What did people
mean when they told them they would
receive money through the mnll?
Where could they find work thnt they
knew how to do? Wns there no ono
who could explain It all to them ln
their own language?
The Y. W. C. A. was ready to offer
assistance, but It would bo of no value
to offer It ln English. Consequently
It had to supply a corps of women who
could talk to the foreign-bom woman
at her own door ln the Innguage that
she was used to bearing ln the home
land. To teach her English wns ns
essentlnl a factor In her Americaniza
tion ns to find her n job. Therefore
the wnr council of the Y. W. C. A. set
out to find her English.
A year before the war began ln Eu
rope, tho lenders of tho Young Wom
an's Christian association foresaw Just
such a situation, and made ready to
moot It. They studied the needs of
the immigrant. They trained skilled
American social workers to become fn-
mlllnr with tho homo habits and to
speak the language of the Lett and the
Hungarian and tho Greek tyid the oth
er foreign mothers who brought ba
bies and bundles over from Ellis Island
to Battery park.
Tho organization Into which this ex
periment has developed was named
by the Y. W. C. A. national board, "The
International Institute for Young
Women." In terms which these wom
en can understand, it Is teaching the
.forelgn-born how to sew and cook and
enre for tho baby.
To girls llko Italian Lucia, who con
fusedly lingered on tho station plat
forms when tho draft trains pulled out,
the W. Y. C. A. is giving direct as
sistance. Educated Europcnn women,
appointed to the regulnr staff of work
ers at the enmp Y. W. O. A. Hostesi
Houses nro able to tnlk to tho drafted
men In their own language, assist them
ln writing letters home, nnd ln ar
ranging furloughs nnd llttlo visits to
the camp.
"Tho Homo Information Servlco for
Foreign Families of Enlisted Men" Is
doing prnctlcnl relief work for the
wives nnd mothers. Tho purpose of
the board Is to help tho women folk
left behind to understand where their
boys nro nnd how they nro belug trent-
ed; how they need homo support and
cheer, how to send them comforts, nnd
to keep pace themselves by learning
English and other things, so that when
tho boys como homo they will not fiiul
their women still very un-Amerlcnn
and out of sympathy with them.
Food conservation bulletins hnvo
been trnnslnted Into 18 or 10 lnngnnges.
At tho factories and munition plants
Interpreters are available for U10 non
English speaking women by whom-the
real war Industries of tho country nro
being lnrgely cnrrled on. In 23 Im
portant cities International Institute
Bureaus are training American nnd
foreign women for full time social
servlco work with foreigners. Twenty
four trained women nro employed on,
the national nnd district field stuff of
tho Y. W. C. A. On June 15 there were
105 trained women working at Ameri
canization. When more than 75,000 Chicago men
filled out their blue enrds for the Sep
tember 12 draft, Gang Luo Wong ap
peared nt 0110 precinct bringing with
him Mrs. Qnng Wong nnd the three
children. All five wished to register.
Tho enrolling clerk explained, but tho
Gang Luo Wongs mnko mnny broken
Chinese remonstrances before tho mas
ter ot tho family was Induced to sign
n card without his wife. Mrs. Wong
could not speak English. What would
bis family do In a strange country If
Gang Luo went to wnr? All over the
United States Chluesu and Polos and
Serbs were asking the sumo question.
It Is to Just such needs that the Wat
Council of the Y. M. C. A. Is organ
ized to glvo assistance.
All persons owning lands of lots
within said district are entitled to
vote at said election.
