WORK OF CENSORS
FULL OF THRILLS
Women of Enflland Find in tt a
Most Attractive and Lucra
tive Professon.
I HELP DRAW NET ON SPIES
System la Perfect; On* Marvel* Mow
German Secret Agent Can Slip
Through, but Slip Through
He Doe*.
London.—The latest and, to a wom
an, the most attractive profession Is
that of postal censor. To the well
educated woman In her service, the
postal censorship offers opportunities
for advancement not to b* found else
where. Th* pay ranees from $7.25 a
week while learning, rising by Incre
ments of 91 to $16 a week, the maxi
mum for examiner, with additional
war bonus. There are at least fifty
women earning more than $1,000 a
year, supervising thirty or forty exam
iners each. They have all risen from
the ranks.
Now they hold the proud title of D.
A. C. (Deputy Assistant Censor), to
which they have been elevated not so
much for their languages as for their
general capacity. One girl of nine
teen, engaged two years ago as a
typist at $5 a week, rose to (15 with
in six months. Another, beginning at
$10, drew $20 within eight weeks.
Yet the plaiflt of the deputy chief
censor Is that "we cannot get enough
of the right kind of wom&n to be cen
sors." The latter Is the executive
head of that vast machine, created
mainly for restrictive measures, which
yet feeds with valuable Information
not merely the war office, of which It
now forms an Integral part, but the ad
miralty, the foreign office with Its off
shoots, the propaganda department,
contraband committee, and on which
the whole of our blockade activities
are based.
Is there enough of the right kind of
women anywhere? The right kind of
woman has many avenues open to her.
Some offer service In Frauee—»adven
ture, romance, the making of history,
the glamor of the uniform and a
chance of honor and glory. But the
woman censor, catch spies though she
may, gets but little limelight.
Heroines in Bureau.
There are women In the censorship
today with three or mofe years service
who are not least among the heroines
of war. They work In secret and lu
silence, behind closed doors, and their
successes are hidden. They will not
even tell their friends where they
work, let alone what they do. Al
though the women examiners of mails
number some 2,000, against some 500
male examiners, there has been little
mention of the women. The recent
decision of the authorities to remove
some of the secrecy which shrouds the
woman censor will lead the right wom
en to apply for the work, though nat
urally there will be no disclosure which
call possibly be of use to the enemy,
and the discipline habit of calling ev
erything confidential will continue, j
Experience Is not demanded of recruits,
since the work of censorship was only
called Into being by the harsh needs
of war, and the censor's ofllce Itself
is the only place where training and
experience can be obtained.
The necessary qualifications are not
merely languages, and what they do Is
not just to read other people's doll let
ters, as seems the general impression:
It is much more interesting than that.
There are women there who know no
tongue but their own; they have been
chosen for their judgment and their
unquestionable discretion besides their
education and general knowledge. One
would emphasize the value of Judg
ment and the opportunities for exer
cising It; It is a question of weighing
op facts and coming to win and rea
sonable decisions the whole time. To
women with a happy blend of Imagi
nation and common sense the work is
absorbing, at times thrilling.
It Is an experience and an educa
tion, a privilege to be part of this won
derful mechanism, even as the hum
blest cog In Its wheel of progress; to
observe the details of Its construction
and to watch It expand week by week.
Censor Tighten* Net
For as the war widens Use censor
throws his net still further overseas,
tightening It until one marvels how the
German secret service agent can slip
through It* manifold meshes. Slip
through them he does, and that Is why
the country need* her daughters to
help to outwit him.
In the women's army or navy the
average pay of officers Is $625 to $875,
with free quarters. They must leave
their homes, and to the woman who Is
settled In London this Is a difficulty.
But If the Loudon dweller has not the
robust health that enables her all day
to stand on her feet, though she can do
a good day's work "on her head," If her
family falters at the thought of France,
let her come forward to the censorship
and stay In England. Here, as an or
dinary- censor or examiner of malls,
she will have responsibility, with scope
for Individuality and the great chance
of bringing a spy to book by her keen
ness in drawing close the net

land man and who ^worked in the
Mexican mine Irom Deoem]>er, 1910,
to May, 1912 and in th<j cyanide
plant and 300 mill before leaving
the Island' in 1912. He was a
fine type of man and well liked »y
all who knew him in the north. From
*he obituary it will be seen that he
d'ed a heroic death after having
been doc-orated for bravery and'
unselfish, work.
Captain. Braxtoa Bigelow, 170th
Field Co., Royal Engineers, British,
Expeditionary Forces, who wag re
portde missing on July 23., 1917,

Yorlt and sailed' fo England on De
cember 26, 1914. He first served
v;th the American Ambulance Field
Service and later In Siberia wiithj a
hospital unit. For bravery and
unselfish work he received a medal."
Keturning to England' in April,
191C, he obtained a commission in
the British army as lieutenant in
the Royal Artillery and Was sent
to the front. Later he was trans
ferred to the Engineers, and early
iii the summer he was promoted to
l>e captain. In August Captain Bige
low was slightly wound da and' re
ceived six weeks' leave. After his
return to France he was near Lens
when there wag a suspicion that
tbg Germans were engaged la
mine work at a particular point in
his sector. On the night of July
23 Captain Bigelow, voluntered to
bead a small party of sappers to
investigate. He never returned.
Ho was mentioned In dispatches for
bravery and' distinguished ser
vice. Captain Bigelow was the
sou of Major John Biglow, y. S. A.,
retired ,and grandson of the late
John Bigelow, author and minister
to Francq under President Grant.
Il9 was a member of th0 Ameican
