fighting lines.
When Mrs. William Croker, of San
Francisco, chose Vitrimont in which to
carry out her idea of reconstructing

ages destroyed by the German troops
In their first rush into France she met
with much doubt and suspicion. The
people of Lorraine are practical and
hard-headed and also object to partake
of anything given in the form of
charity. 1t was therefore necessary
to make the proposition a purely bus.
lness.like one before laying 1t before
the villagers.
All the men of fighting age are at
the front with their regiments. One
of the villagers while in the trenches
one day received from his wife let
ter giving details of the plan of recon.
struction. He Immediately replied:
Don't waste ink on telling me fairy
tales. You are ready to swallow anv
yarn told you. Just make up your
mind as ! have done that we have
lost everything and don't dream that
good fairies are going to restore all

In order to convince this man and
many Of his village neighbors serving
in the same corps that somebody was
really taking interest in them and that
they would not merely have to be con-
tent with the government indemnity
of sixty per cent of their losses, Miss
Daisy Polk, also a Californian and
now administrator of the plan, gave
printed plans and details of the scheme
to the wives left behind. These were
forwarded at once to the men at the
front, who could be assured on them
and their dependents.
Miss Polk, who since the beginning
of the war has been occupied in re-
lief work of various kinds, was chosen
by Mrs. Croker to administer her BEN
eyolent scheme. She decided at once
to live among the people so as to be.
come better acquainted with them and
to learn their needs. Every house,
without exception, had been either
shelled or burnt. She, however was
able to find one.roomed cottage
