York.-Whilc the French government
itself has undertaken the rebuilding
OF the thousands of homes destroyed
III the present war, the women 81
France have just completed an organ
ization to insure their refurnishins
The population in the invaded dis
trcts they assert will be as helpless
to reiurnish the homes as they would
be to rebuild them.
The Union Fratenelle des Fem
mes" is the organization which has
just perfected the project. Madame
Amelie Hammer the president, las
just explained to the United Press
what is to be undertaken and how It
is to be accomplished.
Our work. she said, ''is to be as
much moral as it is social We pr J.
pose merely TO help the unfortunate
and not to give them charity. Every
person whose home has been destroy
ed and who is unable to refurnish the
new one which the government builds
for them, will have help from us u
just the degree they need. If abso-
lutely imperative, we will furnish
their homes without expectation oi
repayment. But the others will pay
us back in installments in conformity
with their possibilities.
while it is inevitable that Paris
will be the center and the brain of
this work and this organization, We
have already perfected the details for
other centers to participate in it, In
all OF the provinces adjacent to the
invaded districts we have arranged
Tor at least one city to be depot fer
supplying the furnishings to the new
houses. This will give a quicker re-
sponse to the needs Of the destroyed
villages and isolated houses and will
also result in a quicker distribution Of
