Big U.S. naval base in Ulster built by American and British workers. Londonderry is now America's premier naval base in Europe. Nearly 800 American technicians, with over 2,000 local workers, built it in six months, all the equipment down, to the last nut and bolt, coming from the U.S.A. American and British sailors warmly fraternized during the building of the base, which includes receiving and broadcasting stations, a 200-bed hospital, and large camps. Pictures taken when the first American warships escorting a convoy across the Atlantic arrived at Londonberry in January. The white ensign and the Old Glory fly side by side. The photograph was taken at the base, where British and American warships lie along side each other

Woman doctor urges women be allowed to serve in U.S. Army on equal basis as men. Washington, D.C., Dec. 13. If Congress acts favorably on resolution recently adopted by the American Medical Women's Association, women may yet serve in the United States Army with rank, uniform and pay commensurate to that of men. One of the few women practitioners engaged by the Army as contract surgeon during the World War, Dr. Kate B. Karpeles, above, National President of the A.
