Tells How Missions Assist
Victims of War in France

How French women and children
left destitute by the departure of
bread-winners for service in the war,
are being given employment in the
various missions which have been
opened as workshops, was described
Yesterday afternoon by George Berry,
field secretary of the McAll Mission.
The address was given at a meeting
of the Orange auxiliary of the mis-
sion in the First Reformed Church,
East Orange.
According to Mr.. Berry those left
behind employed in the temporary
Workshops are paid a living wage and
are given in addition meal each
day. A vivid contrast between the
amounts spent in support of missions
and to maintain the war was pointed
out by the statement that $4,000, 900
annually, considered very generous
sum, had been given for the former
project by England and America COM
bined during the last year, while that
amount is spent by England every
twenty-four hours to carry on the
war, the speaker declared.
