HELLO, GIRLS! HERE’S
1 CHANCE FOR YOU TO
SAY HELLMN FRANCE
Young women! Can you speak and
read French as well as English? Can
you understand French as spoken over
a telephone ana make yourself under
stood in the same language by the
person at the other end of the wire?
For those who can there is an op
portunity just now for the most patri
otic and most thrilling sort of service
“over there” with Gen. Pershing and
the American Expeditionary force
French are wanted at once by the
signal corps to handle the switch
boards which link American head
quarters in France not only with the
American section of the front but with
the French general telephone system
as well, t is obvious, therefore, that
only those who are very fluent with
their French can be used.
t is a good job as well as a patriotic
one. Os course, experienced operators
are preferred, but a girl without any
experience may be taught quickly to
manipulate a switchboard —and will
be taught. The pay is S6O a month for
operators, $72 for supervisors and
$1.25 for chief operators. All will wear
uniforms and will be maintained at
lhe expense of the army.
Applications should be made to the
Chief Signal Officer of the Army.

to have failed in his attempt to per
suade the oil producers to buy off

to invade the region may become his
only recourse. Caballero is reported

siderable supplies by sea from Vera
