Types of Women Needed for War Work in France
Miss Mabel Boardman explains that American women destined for France must be representatives of the best American womanhood with strong character health and tact. Canteen workers must be ready day or night. Executive potential arises from those willing to do any required work and obey strict discipline. Canteens on front lines are run by men while those along lines of communication are run by women to comfort soldiers. American women abroad convey home to our troops and must create a homelike hospital atmosphere.
