Members of the class of 51 young women enlisted for instruction as military nurses at Fort McPherson, under the di
rection of Miss Annie Bess Feebeck and Miss Ella Belle Stephenson.
There are a lot of voung women
out at Fort McPherson who are de
termined that the end of thé war is
not to deprive them of a chance of
useful service. They comprise the
students in the Army School of Nurs
ing, which is to be maintained, in
spite of the cessation of hostilities,
because plans concerning it were
completed before peace came, and the
machinery necessary was perfected.
Besides, there are very important
things that a qualified nurse may do
in public health service, which is to
pediting the work of concentration
and the making-up of a special train
to bear the s:ck Americans.
They have been having the great
est difficulty in financing -the ar
rangements because Germany’ does
not permit banks to pay out more
than 200 marks at a time to an indi-
friend to the man coming home
in the evening tired out from
his day’s labor, showing a big
line of bright, cheerful colors,

The school has been operating a

Hospital, and Miss Emma Belle Ste
phenson, formerly superintendent of
the Training School for Nurses at
Deaconess Hospital, Indianapolis, and
a graduate of Johns Hopkins Univer
sity Training School.
Fifty-one students have been as
signed to Fort McPherson to cover
vidual nor more than 600 marks in
a week.
The American Red Cross has ob
tained permission for Americans to
enter Germany to work among the
Yankee prisoners. Previously only
neutrals were allowed to enter Ger
many for that purpose.

Soldiers To Be Given
Choice of Jobs Before
Women and Civilians
Women who have entered the busi
ness world to take the place of men
in the military service will not be
thrown out of employment with the
return of the soldiers, according to
the bent information available,
However, it is indicated, that in
filling pjositions in the future pref
erence will be given the soldiers over
women or civilians. This situation
already has manifested itself in At
lanta, reports stating that there are
far more women applicants for posi
tions than openings, employers pre
ferring to save the places for the re
turning boys.
The following advertisement ap
pearing in The Georgian and Sunday
American is probably an illustration
of the attitude of many of the busi
ness men of Atlanta:
“Secretary-—Wanted by president
of large concern; accuracy, tact and
efficiency required. FExcellent oppor
tunity for right person. Preference
given to a returned soldier.”
Those who may believe there is a
dearth of stenographers and secreta
ries are not familiar with the pulling
power of the classified advertigsing
columns of The Georgian and Sunday
American, Three insertions of this
advertisement brought twenty-one
replies in the first mail Monday
morning, including several from boys
who are soon to be mustered out ol
the army.
Jobs Hard to Get.
Hundreds of women who have been
employed at good salaries in the
Army Y. M. C. A, Red Cross work,
the Candler Warehouse, the reclama
tion plant at Fort McPherson, and
numerous other Government enter
prises, have been thrown out of work,
and are experiencing much difficulty
in obtaining other positions. And
Miss Ella Stevens, head of the wom
an's department of the United States
Employment Service, states that in
many instances where openings are
presented the women refuse to accept
smaller salaries than they have buen
getting from the Government.
One of the mosgt prominent repre
sentatives of the department store
business in Atlanta stated that the
retail trade generally would make
proyisions for girls hired in the ah
sence of the male employecs, but that
the returning soldiers would be given
fl')nlr old positions whenever possi
ble,
This authority, however, expressed
a serious doubt as to whether former
clerks, bookkeepers and stenogra
phers will wish to return to their po
sitions, This opinion he based on
the natural presumption that men
who went to France have gained a
broader outlook on life and bhusiness,
and will wish to enter other lines of
employment, with blgger prospects,
rather than return to their former
places,
While it is generally conceded that
the goldiers deserve the best that can
he given them, it ig not holieved that
a woman who has made good in
her place, will be thrown out of em
ployment to make room for a return.

the work accomplished. The old
nurses’ headquarters have been ren
ovated, and laboratories and addition
al equipment wiil be provided at once,
The first of the army schools of
nursing was established at Camp
Wadsworth, South Carolina, in July
of this year. It is understood that
one will be conducted at Macon.
The majority of the student nurses
coming to Fort McPherson are from
the West. Wisconsin is represented
with the largest roll. A few are from
the Middle and Southern States.
ed soldier who probably could not fill
the position as well.
As for girls who left their posi
tions to accept larger saiaries for
Government work, they must take
whatever they can get, is the gen
eral opinion.
Miss Stevens, of the Woman's La
bor Department, stated that she is
“up in the air,” so to speak, irying
to secure openings for the women
who are pouring in at all hours of
the day. She stated that the rail
roads and banks are hiring practical
ly no women at all, two prominent
concerns stating that they are hold
ing all vacancies open for the sol
diers, .
“We will probably give you some
stenographers pretty soon,” is the
statement made by one of the rail
road companies,
Many Women Placed.
“During the week of October 11 to
16, seventy women applicants were
placed in loecal business houses, and
during the last week only fifty-two
were placed, the number of openings
having fallen off considerably, and
many of them are still unfilled.
Miss Stevens said that many of
the banks and railroads have al
ready received applications from
their former employees, now in the
service, asking for their old posi
tions, and that Invariably they are
being saved until the men return,
A possibility of some relief in the
situation is seen by Miss Stevens, in
the fact thta autobomile, lumber
companies, and other businesses,
which were either cut down or sus
pended altogether during the war,
will resume operations on full time
now. Two stenographers were
placed with an automobile company
last week, and many wives of sol
diers were placed in candy factories
and other large concerns of lke
character., Many others were sent
out of town to work,
With the increase of business in
1919, it is generally predicted that
there will be enough positions for
all, and that the soldiers can bhe
taken care of without throwing the
women out of employment.

Vote for Walter E.
Harwell for City Mar
shal; Steve C. Glass,
Chief Deputy.—Adv.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1918.
The general election Wednesday, cus
mnmrilxr{tha nere formal ratification of
candidatés chosen by the voters at the
white primaries, will see the culmination
of one of the hottest election fights since
the Maddox-Woodward affair twelve
vears ago or so,and the general inter
es" evinced by the voters in the three
contested offices ils expected to bring
out a record vote.
The principal fight is over the election
of representatives from the first and
fourth school districts on the new school
commission, created by the last Legisla
ture in a bill which divorced the schoole
from City Council. The allied school
organizations of the city have indorsed
a complete slate of candidates for the
commission of five, and only two of these
candidates are opposed. In the first dis
trict, composed of the First and Sixth
Wards, W. H. Terrell, the school organi- |
zation candidate, is opposed by James
E. Hickey, the nominee bf two ward im
provement clubs., In the fourth district, |
comprised of the Fifth and Eighth
Wards, George F. Eubanks, the original
nominee of several schools in these
wards, is opposing Henry B. Troutman,
who has the indorsement of the allied |
school organizations. Mr. Hickey, Mr,
Eubanks and Mr. Terrell all are mem
bers of the present Baord of Eduecation.
The other contest is over the office of |
City Marshal for which five <':|ndidul,vu‘
have announced. Interest in this race
has been aroused partly because of thn]
fights staged for and against abolishing
it by City Council.
Here is where Atlanta will vote Wed
nesday:
First Ward—(a) No. 48 South Forsyth
street; (b) No. 176 West Mitchell street
