Bisbee daily review., 1917-10-11

Somewhere in France 15 little chil- dren were made happy as a result of the action taken by Warren district ladies at the home of Mrs. w. H. Brophy yesterday, when the Bisbee branch of the Fatherless Children of France was organized. At the first meeting funds were subscribed that guarantee that 15 little French war orphans will be cared for a year at least, and the movement has just been started in Bisbee. It is conf dently expected that many many more of these little orphans will find foster parents and protectors in this rugged Arizona valley wherein are so many kind hearts far from sunny France.
 It is a great work and it has been going on in America for a consider able period of time. France suffered grievously during the first two years Of the war, when she bore alone the brunt of the Prussian war machine while England was getting ready. IL is estimated that there will be 300,- 900 French children to mourn for their fathers fallen in battle before the war is done. If the war works hardship upon us in many ways in this great, rich country so far from its ravages, imagine what its pinch must be in stricken France. Fuel and food are grievously high over there. Thousands upon thousands of French men who were called to the colors left penniless families behind, who were absolutely dependent upon them for support.
 As soon as these conditions became generally known in America there was a response Many thousands Of these war orphans have been adopted and permanent funds for their sup port subscribed. The heroic and won derful defense of Verdun by the French legions, while it increased the total of war orphans to terrible pro portions, also aroused America to frenzy of admiration for the brave men who stopped the German crown  princes hordes dead in their tracks. French bravery in this war has reach ed a universal plane of greatness where it is a matter of pride for the average good American family 10 say, We are caring for a little French orphan whose father was killed in the forest of Arragonne,r or, "We have an adopted baby in France whose father died in the valley of the Somme."
 But to return to the Bisbee end of the story. The movement organized yesterday had long been talked and planned and hoped for by Mrs. w H. Brophy, and the response of Warren district women was wonderful The grief and pain and privation of the hearts of French mothers reached across the sea and touched the hearts of these women. and they will try with their gentle hands to stanch a few of the wounds of the war.
 Bisbee has many children of her own, but her heart is big enough to love and care for some of these little

London, Feb. 27.- The greatest

of troops, has just been achieved by
the British-and with practically no

of the Crown Prince Rupprecht have
abandoned a section of territory Oh
probably six square miles extent
Retirement by the Germans from
Bapaume, an important strategic
point, is now predicted. For two
years British troops have pounded
increasingly toward this position.
The German retirement forms one
of the most interesting phases OF the
great war. The Germans gave the

This was evidence of new German
tactics, for throughout all the BIT
ter fighting of 1916, they never yield
ed an inch until driven out at the
point of the bayonet.
The backward movement inaugu-
rated at Grandcourt now becomes
the greatest retreat on this front
since the battle of the Marine. The
events of the last two days have sen;

army, a thrill which seems to fore

MERCY SHIPS TO BE, SPARED
 BY U-DINERS
(ASSOciated preSSl

LONDON, Aug. "A profound sen sation was created here today by the publicat ton by the London Even ing Standard of story to the eff feet that negotiations are under way toward securing the immunity of hos pital ships from attack by German submarines. The Standard says it has official sanction for the publica ton of this, the biggest war story of weeks.
 The article declares that it has high authority for stating that the negotiations are proceeding satisfac- torily and with every indication of success.
 The channels through which the oyertures are being made are not divulged in the Standards story. but indications are that the negotiations are being carried on through an European neutral country, probably Switzerland, because of that country 5 earnest efforts on behalf of humanity in the present world war.
 The prospects of Germany ceas- ing her barbarous attacks upon hos pital ships, which were guaranteed safety from all attack by the treaty of Geneva, will cause rejoicing throughout the world.
 The numerous instances of barbari- ties of this kind, resulting in the drowning of hundreds of sick and wounded soldiers, has been one of the leading indictments of civilization against Germany Public sentiment in Germany may have been partly respon- sible for the German governments agreeing to negotiate to promise lm- munity to hospital ships of the allies.
