PARIS. Jan. About the middle OF
last November a small group OF Ameri-
cans living In Paris organized an associa-
ton called the American Hostels FOR
Refugees. with the object Of helping the
Paris by thousands from Belgium and the
invaded French provinces
The committee began by putting itself
in relation with the Foyer Franco Beige.
French society which had been formed
with the idea OF getting food and lodging
for as many refugees as possible from
charitably inclined persons and providing
meal tickets at cheap restaurants for
those who were lodged but not fed u
was soon seen that this was only a make
shift arrangement \ great many Of the
refugees arrived in Pans IN the evening
or late at nignt At that hour they could
not be- sent without previous warning to
the persons who had offered TO take them
in. and had to be Professionally CHARTERED
in hotels and moved again the next day.
Moreover, restaurant tickets are eNpen-
sive, 21O francs being the lowest rate for
two meals. and 1t was difficult TO look
after people Uho had no central meeting
place or even TO Keep track OF them.
The Foyer Franco Beige had accepted the
offer OF a mouse at rue du Colisec and
here small clothing depot was estab-
lishsd and room lifted W. where the
refugees could gather during the day
The NEXT and most urgent need was for
a dormitory large enough at least 20 put
Up the late arrivals and the American
Glostels committee offered TO Try to make
this possible
But TO create even temporary shelter
a; least thirty beds were needed. and IT Is
impossible to buy the pllinest kind Of
bed. with mattresses, pillow and blankets.
for less than so francs, SO 1900 francs
were needed al once.
