 than a million fatherless children in Europe today as the result of the war, and all sorts of ways are being de- vised for their welfare.
 Neutral Nations Assisting.
 Even Holland and Switzerland have been forced to care for war orphans although they have no part in the struggle. It will be rem embered that Holland absorbed a horde of half a million half-dazed and mentally dis hevelled Belgians overnight-men, women and children driven from their homes by the advance of the Ger mass sssao Antwerp and its environs, who fled northward over the Belgium Holland border finding safety under the little matched roofs of the thrifty Dutch. Holland at once began to fig- ure out her problem of housing, feed ing and educating this alien popula- tion that had thrust itself upon her hospitality. There was no fund avail able, for such gigantic scheme, and relief committees were appointed and the citizens gave liberally. The Amer jeans came to the rescue with sup plies and the Rockefeller Foundation War Relief Commission established in Rotterdam gave assistance in the dis tribution of clothing. In the hasty flight children were separated from their parents and even when parents were found they were penniless and frequently the father was in the Bel gian army and the mother left with

out funds. Holland at once set up schools and all children who were old enough were made to attend. A man ual training section was a part of the course and the pupils were taught trades by which they could make a. living. Where the children were babies nurseries were established, where the children were. cared for while their mothers did sewing and other work. Americans sent thou sands of cans of condensed milk to the Belgian babies. and hundreds of lives were saved to assist in the rebuilding of Belgium when the conflict comes to an end. The Dutch have carried out their relief work on a business basis and the refugees were taught to help themselves. Many have be- come self-supporting and are able to care for their children although there are still several thousand who are de- pendent upon Dutch charity.
 Hundreds of refugees from the vari- ous nations have wandered into Switzerland, where they are being as- sisted and the children cared for. Ger mans, French and Italians are among the refugees, and as Switzerland is made up of the descendants of these three races the refugees are sure to find friends. At Zurich a large num- Der of German orphans are being pro- vided for, while at Geneva there are a number of French children, and down near the Italian border there are quarters for Italian orphans. The babies in Poland have died by the thousands practically from lack of proper food; the cattle were killed and little condensed milk could be obtained. The poor mothers fed the children on whatever could be ob- tained and only the strongest were

Many chapels and shrines fill in the spaces of the great American edifice. In its center stands the main altar, where the high masses are said. Be- heath the church, and leading down to them by stairways which are re- plicas of the Latin and Greek stair ways in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, are a number of under ground chambers These are true copies of various of the sacred spots in Palestine.
 The Grotto of the Nativity. as it exists today in Bethlehem. is faithfully represented in this crypt In a semi circular niche between the two stair ways, one sees the exact reproduction of the birthplace of our Savior as it is preserved today in Bethlehem. The spot is indicated by a silver star un- der the altar, and an inscription like that in Bethlehem proclaims that Here was Jesus Christ born of the Virgin Mary"

 The Franciscan friars and other clergy are all in their ecclesiastical garments. The onlookers at this inn posing cerem onial are composed of the citizens of Bethlehem, withholding Judean shepherds. Arabs on horse back, with pilgrims from every part of the world.
 After dismounting the Patriarch venerates a particle of the holy cross presented to him by the superior of the Franciscan Fathers, and then all enter the Basilica of the Nativity in solemn procession, chanting the Te Deum. The Patriarch admits all pres ent to do homage, and assists at ves- pers and fat the solemn procession and veneration of all the shrines and holy places of the grotto. l NA
 At ten o'clock the chimes of the convent church peal forth through the silence of the night over the hills and valleys of Bethlehem, inviting the religious and faithful to the solemn maths preceding the midnight mass.
 The maths are followed by pom tifical high mass, cloud of incense rises into the air, a thousand candles spread a glare of light and the organ breathes forth its sweetest music. In the midst of hymns and canticles 8 procession forms to visit the grotto of the Nativity, and an image of the in fant Jesus is placed in the arms of the Patriarch.

gun.
 The ceremonies which take place at the Church of the Nativity at Bethlehem at Christmas are repro duced as closely as circumstances will permit in every monastic church. in the United States. In none, however, are the Oriental ceremonials more faithfully enacted than in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, at Washington, D. C.. named after the famous basilica in Jerusalem, to which is attached the mother home of the Franciscan friars in America.
 In this church a body of devoted followers of St. Francis has created at the Capital of the Nation a mem orial of all the shrines of Palestine; and here they reproduce at each and every church season, as faithfully as may be. the services which take place at the original spots in the Holy Land Thus, those who cannot visit the places hallowed by Christ may here view replicas of the scenes of His birth, life and death, as we'll as par ticipate in ceremonies similar to those

 England And Russia.
 England is doing nobly in caring for the children, and she has her full share for the rebellion in Ireland add ed several hundred to the already large number of dependent children. These children were without bread for several days and many of them were in starving condition when the good women of Dublin discovered their pitt full condition and established a food kitchen. Some of them have been placed in orphan asylums in Ireland :; others have been taken to England and a few have been sent to relatives in America. These innocent children were the real sufferers of the Irish re- bellion. In England the women have taken over the care of the orphans and homes have been established in various parts of the country. In Lon- don there are many distressing cases which have been discovered by the Salvation Army-that band of good men and women who are doing such noble work in assisting the war suf- ferers. Down in the poorest parts of London they have opened soup kit chens and milk stations where the poor mothers and children can obtain wholesome food. Caring for the de- pendent sick is another of their kind ly acts. Queen Mary is deeply in- terested in the war orphan and has given a large amount of money for their support. Both the King and Queen frequently visit these orphan ages and are actively engaged in the supervision of the establishm ents.
 Russia's orphans run into the t74ou sands. They are cared for by asylums with more or less comfort but their condition in no way compares with that of the other countries. The Rus sian peasant is used to hardships and the children are accustomed to coarse food and little care. It is said, how ever. that a new era is dawning in the Land of the Bear and that the peasant is being given a chance to better his condition and that of his children. More schools are being

This is followed by the midnight mass. cele- brated by the Father Superior of the Monastery in front of the main altar. After this is ended the procession forms, an image of the Savior re- clining on richly embroidered cush- ion being placed in the arms of the celebrant.

The image of the Christ Child used in this procession is a beautiful piece of wood-carving exe- cuted in Barcelona, Spain, and later laid in the original manager at Bethle- hem to be blessed for its use in Amer ica.
 Hundreds Of Participants.
 This procession as 1t winds through the great church-the priests in their ecclesiastical garments, the lay broth CTS in their dark brown habits, the Father Superior bearing the Christ Child and throngs of people following -is an impressive Christmas celebra- ton, and the church each Christmas Eve is crowded with hundreds of par- ticipants in and spectators of the bril- liant ceremony. .4t.

 This ceremony is followed by mass after mass in the little grotto, which remains crowded with worshippers un- til late on Christmas morning. The image of the Christ Child remains on view to the public until the feast of the Epiphany. when it is removed until the return of another Christmas.

to the cause, several of them turning over their own houses for this pur- pose. The fathers have been killed and the mothers are taking their places in the industries. Mrs. Becker and her fifty assistants see to it that the children are not neglected and left to the degenerating influence of the streets. Those children who have lost both parents are kept at the or phanages and are being educated, while those whose mothers are living and are at work are taken from the homes early in the morning and re- turned at night. Some of the chfl- dren are called for as early as seven o'clock. their mothers being due at their work at that hour. Many of the mothers call for the children after working hours. The main part or the day for the smaller children Is spent in play and kindergarten training. The bigger girls sew and embroider and assist in the cooking. The boys are being taught trades. A large sew ing room is attached and every day young women who before the war were the belles of Berlin society. come in and make garments for the war orphans and widows. An employment bureau is attached and mothers who are able to work are given such labor as best suits their condition. No waste is permitted anywhere or in anything, for the German woman at present is limited even in the number of yards she uses in her clothing as well as in her food, yet everybody has enough and everybody seems willing to give up luxuries in order that the children of the nation may be fed and clothed. The homes of the war widows are looked after by these noble women who see to 1t that the children sleep under sanitary condi- tions. So far the German Govern ment has had little care of the orr phans as the women are at present looking after the war children. All over Germany and Austria the work goes on and the infant mortality dur ing the war Is far below that of nor mai times.
 Just how long the war will continue no one can predict, and every day more children are left fatherless and more women are widowed, and the time will come when some of the bur den of caring for the children will necessarily fall upon the Governments of the warning countries. The neutral nations have been more than generous in their giving and the women are teaching the war orphans the ways of right living, but the caring for million or more fatherless children is a problem the solving of which 1s s~ eMs1 t>msh.

established and a sort of compulsory education is in vogue at present. As Russia is largely an agricultural coun- try both boys and girls are being trained in farming. The Russian Gov ernment has set aside a certain sum for the aid of the war orphans, but as Russia is still graft ridden it is doubtful whether very much of the money is actually srent in this noble cause. Russia has long been noted for having the largest orphanage in the world-the one at Moscow caring either directly or indirectly for eigh- teen thousand children. They are, of course, not housed under one roof but are farmed out to different persons under whose care they work
 Bulgaria and Servia havA been in so many wars during the past few years that war orphans and their care is an old story. Hundreds of children have died in these countries from lack of food, especially when the Serbians were driven over into the Montenegro mountains. American aid saved many mothers and children and the good work is still going on. The land has been laid waste and the crops are poor. being tended by women. and during the present winter there is likely to be much suffering in that war-stricken land. The Americans who were on the Commission to dis tribute funds in Servia tell p1t1ful stories of the half starved children who were begging for bread along the streets.
 German System.
 Germany does everything in a metnodical manner and she is caring for the war orphans with as much system as she uses in moving her army. This duty however, has been turned over to the women, who have organized societies whose business 1t is to do certain work in caring for the children whose fathers have died for the Fatherland. They are also assist ing the women with children whose husbands are on the firing line. The Empress. who is today the most be- loved woman in Germany, is at the head of the movement and gives her personal attention to its workings. The Grown Princess Cecelie, too, is an earnest supporter and frequently comes to the nurseries to see that all is going we'll The actual work is under the direction of a Mrs Becker, of Berlin, who is solving the problem in very effective manner. She is being aided by the Princess Eitel Friederich, who alone is caring for about two hundred and fifty children. Mrs Becker has interested many Ger man women of means in the project and they have contributed 1iberallS

able to subsist on the scant food. The condition of the war orphan in Po- land is indeed pitiable as the whole nation is poverty-stricken and little aid is being given them by the Rus sians. Indeed. were 1t not for the German soup kitchen the population would have starved. to death.
 In Italy.
 Down in Italy the Queen has in terested herself in the war orphans and with other ladies of the Court has opened schools and nurseries for sthe children who have lost their fath- CTS in war. Outdoor schools have been established for the children who are not strong and the most nourishing food is given them. The drain on the purses of the wealthy Italians has been so severe that the greate econ omy Is practiced. Every day brings new orphans and as there seems to be no end in sight the war orphan problem is becoming serious one in Italy. @e
 France.
 France, too, has her problem and at least twenty-seven hundred are be- ing cared for under the protection of the American Girls Aid at Yvetot. All over France the people are taking care of the "kiddies" whose fathers have fallen in battle. Nurseries have been established where children can be left by the mothers who are Dread winners. Wealthy society women act as nurses and many of them have taken it upon themselves to clothe and educate number of the young sters. When the decorations for brav- cry are given the children of the men are asked to appear. and should the man who has won a medal for valor be among the missing the decoration is given to the oldest son, and if there is no son 1t is given to the daugh- ter. In after years the Government will remember these children and as- sist them whenever it is possible The war burdens of France are many, yet the people are cheerful and are try ing to care for the widows and or phans. A number of Americans are interested in the work, and thousands of dollars have been sent across the sea. A fund for the starving chil- dren of Europe was started in New York several months ago, and hun dreds of children made offerings to
