RED CROSS RELIEF

Belgian Children Get Their First
Real Meal In Many Months

Washington, d. c.
The War Council Of the American
Red Cross announces the following
cablegram from the Paris headquar
ters Of the American Red Cross In ref
ernce to the work of the Red Cross
In caring for the repatriated refugees
from devastated districts in France
and Belgium.
There arrived last week ut Eviar
where the repatries from France and
Belgium are received back into
France, a train loaded with Belgian
children. There were $50 OF them, thin
sickly, alone, all between ages of four
and twelve, children of men who re-
fused to work for the Germans and OF
mothers who let their children 90
rather than let them starve. They
poured OF the train. little ones cling
Ing to the older ones. girls all crying
boys trying to cheer. They had come
all the long way alone.
ION the platforms were the Red
Cross workers to meet them, doctors
and nurses with ambulances for the
little ones waiting outside the station
The children poured out of the station
marched along the street shouting
Meat, meat, we are going to have
meat, to the casino where they were
given a square meal, the first in many
months.
Again and again, while they ate
they broke out spontaneously into
songs in French against the German,
songs which they had evidently learn
ed in secret. The Red Cross doctor ex.
amined them. Their little claw-liks
hands were significant of their under
nourished bodies, but the doctor said
I'VE have them in time. A few weeks
of proper feeding and they will pull!
up"
Every day at Evian 1000 homeless
people arrive, of which 60 per cent
are children. 80 per cent of the Older
people die the first month from ex
haustion. The children can and must
be saved"
The Red Cross Is caring for them
