its autonomy and control Of its fund,

tive committee. composed OF II men,
bers.
It is the policy Of the society to
kmaintain the children in their own
homes. to be brought up by their
mothers in the religion Of their faith
ers, and to establish such q personal
relationship between the Donor" and
the child that h Donor" will not
only be assured that bis money reach
es its proper destination, but also may
correspond with the child or its moth
err
Often people will ask how they can
be sure that the money will reach
the children. The safeguards are:
first, the character of the American
and French committees; second, the
fact that every payment is made on
on file and are open for inspection.
and third and above all, that the chill
dren and the donor are put into per-
sonal correspondence SO that II the
child should fail to receive its remit
lance the donor would be notified by
the child or its family.
The accompanying letters are from
and Mrs. Ernest Kirk Of Mia gara,
and from her mother. Through Mrs.
Kinks interest in the matter, a Sun

No war correspondent or civil
ian has ever set food on Ladies'
Road since it was wrested from
the Germans by the French. What
takes place there can only be
learned from the survivors who
come back after a weeks defense

the story Of all-differing only in
detail and not in kind. The fol-
lowing is one of many thousands:
"The battalions of chasseurs we
were to relieve had passed an agi-

suing influx and reflux.
