London, Aug. 18. (By Mail).— Wounded women are returning from France. Waacs, ambulance drivers and nurses, although kept out of range of guns as much as possible, are un- able to be in the lands of war without occasionally coming into harm'’s way. At a special performance given for the wounded at the Lyceum theatre a number of wounded Waacs took their places quietly among the mef, but in spite of their unobtrusive entrace they were “spotted” by the boys, who sent up a series of whole-hearted and wild checrs. The “blueboys’” complain bitterly that the Waaces have no outward sign to show that they are on ‘“wounded” leave. The soldiers who have them- selves been “‘out there” and know just what the women have been through are demanding hospital - blue for wounded Waaes, or at least a blue armlet, so that passers-by shall know paper. to ‘‘fight the battle of the 1i- white-haired, thin, stooped old Jady qug.- traffic inder the shadow of the|runs the cafe, while her feeble hus- FORMED lN NE‘V ULM chase a soda fountain for the shore| pirst.—John Simons. dome of the capitol.” * || band sits by the fire.
