RED ARMY WOMEN
BREST-LITOVSK, Oct. 2. Ruddy-cheeked Communist women are included in the Red army forces sent into Poland in the Russian invasion from the east. The women are chiefly aviators and chauffeurs. They have separate quarters and wear two types of uniforms —one of regular Red army style and the other with a skirt. The woman flyers were said to perform their duties of flying bombing planes, bombing and machine-gunning under war conditions as competently as their military brothers.
