this coast town there is one of the
largest military hospitals in France.
Founded in 1908 as hospital for
deformed and tuberculOus children,
it has one feature betokening the
foresight of it's founders. Although
intended solely for children, all the
beds, baths and operating tables
were constructed full length "in
case there should be a war" Now
every one of the nearly 1000 beds
contains wounded French soldier.
This hospital, by the way, bears on
its front walls the marks Of bomb

against 3,224 in July, 1914. This
falling off has gradually been In
creasing, as far as percentage is
concerned. Though figures for Aug
