Y. N. c. A. ADOPTS
A FRENCH FAMILY

How a division of American SOL
diers in France played raven to the
Elijah of family of starving French
refugees found covering in the at
tic of an old meat market, and how
Elijah, in turn, made the ravens COM
Portable, is told in this story, written
by Y. NJ. c. A. war work secretary
in France:
"a division of our troops were on
the move. For thirty-eight hours
the men had been on the cars. Then
had detrained, and started to hike
for the front. Two days of marching
had left them stiff and tired.
''The Y. M. C. A. men had gone
ahead of them. They knew that the
troops would be in certain village
by a certain time. So they loaded
three big trucks with canteen sup
plies, hustled to the village, and look
ed around for canteen.
''They found an old meat market
with the shutters up, located the ow-
ner, and got the key. The supplies
were unloaded, and the trucks start
ed back to town. The two men left
behind to open up lighted candle,
and began an investigation.
up the steep stone steps they
found a room, with a family of refu-
gees crouched inside. The old fire.
place had been opened. A few twigs,
the size of lead pencil, made fire
as big as a coffee cup.
"a mother nursing baby sat on
the floor in front of the fire, two
small girls whose eyes seemed un-
naturally big in their thin, little faces
covering near her, scared by the
steps they had heard. A daughter
about fifteen years old was cooking
some nondescript bits of food in an
old frying pan. The father, little
man, badly crippled in the early bat
ties of the war, started forward, as
the strangers approached.
They spoke no English, and our
men spoke no French, but suddenly
they understood. These were les
Americaines!' They would not be
hurt They were going to be fed.
when the American soldiers
came, they found the mother making
chocolate for them, while the oldest
daughter scrubbed up the old market,
humming the Marseillaise' as she
worked. The two little girls, burst
ing with Importance, ran on small
errands. The baby sat on the can
teen counter, chuckling at them.
"As they entered, the crippled lit
tie Frenchman, busy opening pack
ing cases, Strengthened himself as
we'll as he could, and saluted them.
There was pride in the way he did it..
He had worn a uniform, too.
"The American boys adopted the
family, at once. The Y. NJ C. A. men
had fed the refugees, of course, but
the soMiers insisted upon buying
them more food in the canteen. They
tossed the baby in the air, and began
teaching the little girls American
slang.
That night there was a real fire
in the fireplace upstairs, and real
food on the table. Windows, board
ed up so long, were Open The fam
lily chattered away at the top of their
voices, instead of whispering, as they
had done. There was nothing to be
afraid of now.
Les Americaines' has come."
