COPENHAGEN, Dec. 26.—Plans for
the general conscription of women
after the war are being made In Ger-
many, and there Is a general feeling
that girls, as well as boys, will bo
compelled to undergo a regular (period
• * of training corresponding to the'Ger-
| man youth's service in the army. The
! service proposed for girls is not miU-
j Utry but civil. It is proposed that all
| women should, preferably at the age
| of 17, be taken from their homes and
j compulsorily trained, either In & pro-
| Cession, a trade, or in household
