Washington, Jan. SO Swiss Minis
ter Bitter, acting on instructions from

orders, through Swiss consuls in

At the same time, Minister Ritter

tions, he received notification that
three additional Swiss army corps are
to be mobilised on Jan. 24.
Dr. Ritter said today his govern

troops, he believed, are to be used to
relieve part of the two army corps
now mobilised. It was said.
London reports have recently men

es on the Swiss frontier, and (ear was
expressed that Switzerland's neutrali

cuting attorneys ot the court.
Carpenter was aj rested yesterday
In a corridor ot the court house. His
ball was fixed at IS.000 which he was
unable to furnish.

a long career. He testified he had
been married only twice and that
both of his wives were dead; that his
name waa Ernest E. Carpenter; that

MUNITION PUNT
Ottawa, Canada, Jan. 20. Cana
dian women are working In munition
factories. There are 5.000 women
workers, according to estimates com
piled today, who are helping make
the shells which England and her
allies and dominions are hurling
against the German lines. And to
day comes the "romper suit" for
women. That Is "rompers," like child
ren wear, la the article of clothing
that most nearly approaches the
style ot a garment which Canadian
manufacturers are preparing for their
women employes. Canada bars the
overalls, which sister workwomen sre
wearing in England. The designers
of the new habit think It will not only
be popular In the machine shop and
fuse room, but In the kitchen as well.
When Mark Irish, director or labor
of the Imperial munitions board, flrst
broached the possibility or having
women work in munitions factories,
Canadian Hhollmukers declared It was
"Impossible," because they could not
be found.
"Why God bts 'em," Director
Irish replied, "wo are deluged with
tliem and I'm unking women on the.
waiting list not to get discoursed. "
The Canadian plan is a dilution of
labor not replacement of women for
men In plants, but introduotlon of
feminine workers so that male labor
can ibe spread over a greater time
and a greater number or machines.
Four hundred women entered the
factories at first. Some of these,
of the teasure class, .found their
French heels did not fit In with mak
ing munitions and they dropped out.
Some did not like the grime and dirt.
But forty of the original number
stuck. Then Canadian women awoke
to the necessity for munitions and
real and earnest workers started to
pour In applications. Moat or these
have stuck right on the Job. They
have been careful, efficient, steady,
reliable and, in many coses, better at
work requiring delloate workmanship
than men. No huovy labor Is at
tempted. .The chief work which the
woman do Is on primers, time fuses,
In assembling, Inspecting, sorting and
pocking. On some of these opera
tions measurements to the thous
andth part or an Inch are required.
The women are paid from $10 to
22 a week Just as much as lualo
workers In similar places. The plants
where they work are airy and well
lighted. In some places the Y. W, C,
A. and W. C. T. U. and otfier organi
zations hare started 'buffets where
meals served at reasonable prices.
