LONDON. Jan. ll.-Thc gnvern-
Bient's decision to rail lialf of thr skilled
agricultural workers to the artnv ami

Signed (or sedentary work or women.
has evoked a flood of atiRry rotes(s

of sharp press criticism on the imvvi;-
I dom of such a course at a moment when
f the national interests imperatively de
mand that the utmost possible amount
of foodstuffs should he home produced
nd when the pnhlic is being exhorted
to devote its whole energies in this di-
rection. '
' Outcome of Conference.
These critics argued that there has
been another contest between the hoard
of agriculture and the war department
in which the war office won. The gov-
ernment's dcciioii is icgardrd as an
outcome of the reient conference in
London between the war office and
General Nivelle the hrrmli command-tr-in-chief.
and I'ield Marshal Sir
Douglas I lain.
Women on War Basis.
It is announced that the government
accepted the plan to enlist women l"t
farm work on a military bails thr
women being paid billeted and clothed
by the war office. Incidentally the de-
cision leems likely toifevive the acri-
monious discussion of Ireland's contri-
bution to the army. '

As a ruling fashion it has great fas-
