wholesome food. Caring for the de-
iy acts. Queen Mary is deeply In
terested in the war orphan and has
gwen "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 establishments.
Russia's orphans run into the t,.ou-
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. 1t is said, how
ever, that 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
established and 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
eminent has set aside certain sum
for the aid of the war orphans, but
as Russia Is still graft ridden 1t is
doubtful whether very much of the
money is actually ST ent 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.
German System.
Germany does everything in n
methodical 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 II
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

loved woman in Germany. is at the

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 OBJ
tanned and oHly-the- streagest-.~ere
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
slams. Indeed. were it 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
the children who have lost their faith
ers in war. outdoor schools have been
established for the children who are
not strong and the most nourshing
food Is given them The drain on
the purses Of the wealthy Italians has
been SO severe that the greatest 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 a serious one in
Italy.

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 a 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

head of the movement and gives her
personal attention to Its workings.
The Crown Princess Cecelie, too. is an
earnest supporter and frequently
comes to the nurseries to see that all
is going well. The actual work Ii
under the direction of a Mrs. Becker,
of Berlin, who is solving the problem
in a. very effective manne-. She Is
being aided by the Princess Eitei
Frederick, 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 literally
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 II 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 chill
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 Of the
day for the smaller children is spent
in play and kindergarten training.
The bigger girls sew and embroider
and assist In the cooking. Tho boys
are being taught trades.
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 a
million or more fatherless children is
a problem the solving OF which IL no
easy task.
