Naval Secretary's Wife Tells
- of Women's War Work
"Washingtnn is the pulse of the na-
tion" saifl Mr. Joscphus Daniels as
.he sat at tlic breakfast table at tlir
.Skirvin hotel tlii morning "ami if you
could nnlv come to WasbiiiKtcin and
fee the part the woman is playing in
this war you would see how the
American woman stands behind the
men in tvervthing connected with war
Sacrifice.
They too arc making their sacrifices
MiftrrinK liariMiips and deprivations
in fact most of tlieni are coming to
Washington umlrr adverse circumstan-
ces not as a business proposition hut
inspired by the same motive at the
bo vs in the army.
'There are two sets of women in the
navv the yrowomen who wear the same
uniform and are under the same or-
ders as the men except they arc not
sent arrus the ocean: and the marine
vnmen. who work with the marines in
! ic ilcriral department and evrry wo-
man tnlistrd. ich ased a man for f iRht-
iuw." said Mrs. Hanicls.
Mrs. Daniels is in close touch with
women workers in Washington having
limited her whole life to war work
Mine the outbreak of the war. She is
( morcled with the Y. W. C. A. and is
hairmaii o! the navy department of the
Krd Cross. She has two sons in the
.! ItlV.
Mrs. Daniels ieels that officials in
Washington are impressed with the fact
tha the success of the United War
Work campaign is more necessary than
mn. as without the stimulant of ex-
i itrment the soldiers will be subject to
greater temptation tjian heretotore.
The spirit shown toward the campaign
in the southwest has impressed Mrs
Daniels and she has met with enthus
iastic responses at the various meetings
she has attended.

of American airplanes fighting in
Trance up to the moment of the armis-

orders of the squadron commander that
reached each pilot by radio telephone.
News of the successful development
ot this device hitherto a military se
cret though tome inkling of it had
reached the Germans lust before hot
tilities ceased was allowed to become
public today by John I). Ryan direc
tor ot aircralt production.
"There are some details concerning
it which we cannot discuss yet Mr
Kyan said "but the radio devices
worked out during months of experi
ment went into actual service some
weeks ago. I have myself standing on
the ground given orders to a flving
squadron in the air and watched them
maneuver accordingly. The transmis
sion of the voice is clear enough to be
heard distinctly through the sound of
the airplane motor. It is tn every wy
the most satisfactory means of com
munication between planes in the air
and from the ground to planes."
Mr. Ryan said he could nnt discuss
the distances over which the radio
telephone has worked but it is known
to be a matter of some miles.

confidence and appreciation of the war
department and to those wbo have la
bored with you to make this result pos
sible this appreciation of their zeal
courage and strength both of purpose
and achievement. The entire country
is filled with pride in your fine lead-
ership and in the soldierly qualities
shown by your army.
"Now that a respite has come in
solemn task to which the army devoted
ilself the war department will do all

scribed at state headquarters show that
about $1070000 has been given leaving
$60000 to be raised but there are a
number of counties twenty to be exact
well organized and working that
have made no reports.
Ovtr-Subacrlption Needed.
'We are over" declared Mai land.
It is a question of whether we are
barely going to pay our assessment or
whether we will show a liberal degree
of gTatitude to the heroes who have
won the war bv over-subscribing at
least 50 percent."'
Keports came in this morning that
Coal Choctaw Marshall and Jefferson
counties had over-subscribed their
quotas while a dozen or more counties
sent word that they would be over-
subscribed before the end of the day.
National headquarters informed State
Chairman E. W. Marland early today
that plans were already being made
for tending to Europe hundreds of ad-
ditional welfare workers and that a
large number of new huts sufficient to
accommodate the large American army
in France would be constructed.
County Backward.
The unbounded optimism at state
headquarters was not evident around
county and city headquarters where
workers were having some difficulty tn
getting individual card quotas assigned
by the executive committee.
J. F. Owens director of the-county
campaign however said that every
country district he believed would
over-subscribe and that the county sub-
scribers were paying 90 percent of their
subscriptions when taken.
Leon Levy director of the city cam-
paign declared that nearly half the
city subscriptions were on the pay-
ment plan.
