WOMEN IHI CHARGE OF
RECfIUIIIHIG CAMPAIGN
Red Cross Worker Has Persuaded
Several Hundred to Enlist
Likes the Work
London, July 18. Mr?. A. E. Hen
ley. a prominent Red Cross worker
Jioth at home and at the front since
The beginning of the war. has been in
charge of the woman's section of the
latest recruiting campaign in London,
speaking daily at from five to a dozen
meetings, although she was invalided
home from France only a few weeks
ago. She is said to have several hun
dred recruits to her credit.
"I like the work." she said, speak
ing of her campaign. "I have ad
dressed meetings in practically every
section of London during the past
fortnight. I simply speak freely on
topics within my own experience.
"What impresses me more than
anything else is the intelligent inter
est displayed by the crowds of people
who assemble round the different plat
forms. People will stand for two
hours at a time to hear things about
what has been going on in France, anil
their questions show knowledge and
intelligence. They show feeling, too,
and they sometimes weep. The lower
classes are keenly interested in the
issues of the war. Where men of the
right sort hold back, I think the rea
son is often the fear that their places
may be tilled by other men, by slack
ers. Often 'government employ - is
the answer to my question, 'Why don't
you join?'
"What rouses crowds more than
anything else is a sporting allusion. I
often plead my cause in similes taken
from the race track. 'Take your
fences squarely.' I tell them, 'and if
you come a cropper, get up and go
on again.' Always I tell them plenty
of stories from my personal repertoire.
And never without response.'"

for hours contemplating the "Divine
smile of the Adria. It now belongs to

branch, and was some years ago sump

works of art of great value Victor
Hugo In his "Toilers of the Sea," pic
tures Franklin as studying the phe
nomenal of the electric spark at Duino.
Although set on fire through the for
tunes of war it is hoped that the cast'.e
is really not much damaged.
