Whether fighting shoulder to shoulder with men in the Russian “Battalion of Death:” driving ambu- lances over shell-torn roads, nursing in military hospitals or performing a thousand and one duties at home, women have taken an important part. However, there has been thrown open a new field in which the Amer- ican woman already has demonstrated her infinite resourcefulness, innate versatility and racial capacity for speedy, accurate work. The new task s that of operating an American tele- | phone exchange. often. a short dis- tance behind trenches in France. In modern warfare, the telephone has assumed such importance that frequently it referred to as the nerves of the army. It was not to be expected that General Pershing's expeditionary forces were to rely on foreign system of telephone communi- ation, abandoning the more expedi- ent service which this nation, as a pioneer in the field, had developed.
