such women have organized a hos

seas hospital, U. 8 A. and have Of
fered it to France. The French gov
eminent accepted the offer and now
these Women's Overseas hospitals are
under the French government. The
place assigned for the service is about
twelve miles back of the battle line.

guaranteed it's support. The American
