Tho largest cantoon is in tho offices of the Ministry of Munitions, whera, under the Blue Triangle sign, 1500 women are server! daily. In lonely camps not very far from the firing line W.A. A.C.'s have been introduced and work very hard and for long hours. The Bin-? Trinnjrle is meeting the needs of girls, and the Y.W.O.A. is interpreting Christ in terms of daily life.
