GERARD'S Wife wins
PRAISE IN GERMANY
Appreciation Shown For Her
Efforts In Feeding Aliens.

Berl1n.-Mrs. Gerard, wife of the
American ambassador here, is appeal
ing to her friends at home for funds
to carry on the American relief kitch-
en- OF Berlin, which has daily fed some
200 women and children, the families
of men who are aliens in Germany and
therefore placed in concentration
camps, following the action. which
Great Britain and France took in the
internment of aliens in those countries.
The American Association of Com
MERGE and Trade in Berlin gave the
money to run the kitchen for six
months when it's doors were opened
last year in the quaint little building
In the Schlesische strasse, where Mrs.
Gerard and her committee of Ameri-
can ladies found an unoccupied house
in the factory district of the east side.
Mrs. Gerard herself gave the coal sup
ply for the winter, so that the place
was kept open all afternoon, many Of
the women and children having no
other place where they could keep
warm. The money was spent so Geo.
nomically that 81 furnished seven
wholesome meals.
This winter the enterprise is without
funds, and the doors of the American
relief kitchen have not been opened to
the crowds Of hungry, poorly clad wo.
men with babies in their arms and
clinging to their skirts who mournful
~ stand around and gaze through the
windows.
Long purses and generous ones
among the American colony have been
taxed to the utmost by the charity
needs arising from the war, and Mrs.
Gerard has won appreciation not only
in Berlin, but throughout Germany for
her large contributions of money and
the devotion Of almost all of her time
