SUCCESS OF WOMEN POLICE
REMARKABLE TRIBUTE BY SIR NEVIL MACREADY. London, February 25. The success of women ns police is the subject of a remarkable tribute by Sir Nevil Macready (formerly Chief Commissioner of Police) in evidence before a Special Committee. The successful women included domestics, nurses, and bus conductors who practised jiu-jitsu 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 onlv desired to secure them the power of .arrest, and then intended to entrust women- with the whole work of looeii g 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. Reutei.
