WINDOW-SMASHER BECOMES ARMY MAJOR.

Nothing short of astounding are the topsy-turvy results of the war. Here is the latest example. Only a little more than a year ago, Dr Louie Garrett Anderson, the clever and intrepid daughter of a famous mother, was serving a six-weeks’ sentence for win-dow-smashing in connexion with the “N otes for Women’’ movement. Now she has been given the title of ‘“Major” in the British Army, a title which few, if any save Royal women, have ever before held. In co-operation with Dr Flora Murray, Major L. Garrett Anderson, as she must be known henceforth, organised the lirst women’s hospital that left for the f r ont. and the establishment, which was at fiisi set up at Claridge’s Hotel, in Paris, and subsequently was transferred to Wimereux so as to be nearer the actual fighting line, has won golden opinions on all sides, and was the lirst to receive official recognition by the military authorities. Now Major Anderson is coming back from France to organise and take charge of a military hospital with 500 beds near London. V Ch. Ch. “Press,” 25th May, 1915.
