WOMEN POLICE
SrR N. MACREADY'S TRIBUTE.
(RBOTER'S -ELEORAM.)-
(Received^February 26, 2 p.m,)
LONDON, 25th February. • The success of women as policemen is the subject of a remarkable tribute by Sir Nevil Macready (Chief Commissioner of Police) in evidence before a Special Committee. The successful women included domestics, nurses, and 'bus conductoresses who practised jiu-jutsu and other physical training the same as the men, and undertook night duty in guarding gunpowder magazines. Sir Nevil Macready urged the employment of an increasing proportion of women. He only desired to secure them the power of arrest, and then intended to entrust women with the whole work of looking after women of easy virtue under conditions similar to the men's," including the right to pensions. The class of women, he said, was immaterial, so long as they had the human element largely developed and were not faddists.
