We have suggested one or two amendments in the Bill

elsewhere, but may note here that it would save a certain amount of trouble to individuals and officials if the mobilized women members of Voluntary Aid Detachments were told that they need make no return, and were to be placed in the position of members of the military forces, which in effect they are. They are doing admirable work in tending the wounded, and they cannot be spared from this work even to make shells. If they are hard at work to-day, they must expect to be ten times as busy in a very few months. The V.A.D. members who were unwilling or unable to mobilize must, of course, for the purpose of the Register, remain on the same footing as the rest of the population.
