WOMEN AND TROOPS
♦ CONDUCT IN MELBOURNE CRITICISED MELBOURNE, June 10. The police are greatly perturbed at what they describe as the shameful behaviour of women and girls, who are roaming the streets and literally throwing themselves at soldiers and sailors. They are seeking -wider authority to prevent them drinking in hotels, walking the streets until early morning, and generally behaving disgracefully. The Lord Mayor of Melbourne has suggested a curfew for women, and the police are of the opinion that this is the only way out, unless, alternatively, the law should be amended prohibiting women and girls drinking in hotels and lounges.
