STORY OF MARIE
FRENCH GIRL OF LILLE

Miss Elizabeth Haden, a secretary
working in a Y w. G. A. foyer" or
clubhouse, at an important point
just behind the line in France says
in letter received at National Head
quarters yesterday:
''You may get some idea of the need
of bringing comfort to these French
girls in working in this immense fac
tory near the lines if l tell you the
story of Marie, girl from Lille, who
has become a special friend of mine
at the foyer"
"At the time Lille began to be
bombarded Marie was cook in
"maison bourgeoise." In spite of the
danger of entering the city she went
back to her home. Just outside the
door she met little girl of her ac-
quaintance screaming deardfully.
Shrapnel was falling right near them,
Marie took the child's arm, trying to
comfort her. The child screamed
again and Marie found herself hold
ing only an arm-the child had been
hit by piece of an obus and the
arm was literally torn off.
Then Marie climbed the stairs to
her mothers room and found her
mother lying dead in bed, struck too,
by shrapnel. A few days later Marie
heard that her father had been killed
at the front and that left her along
in the world, except for girl cousin
and her fiance off in Gutenberg.
OF course there was pitiful story
of the plea to the German Komman-
dantur to be evacuated, the brutal
answer that the only chance was in
exchange for a twenty franc piece of
gold, and, Marie begging from house
to house for someone to change her
silver money to gold At last she
found what she needed and was sent
to Germany and back to France by
Switzerland.
Now she is a nervous wreck, sickly
and melancholy, with deep, dark lines
under her eyes. In spite of all her
spirit is not broken. She hopes and
awaits the end of the war and the

told me, I'VE viii marry and he will
be naturalized French and we will go
to America, the land of liberty" This,
with a smile that sometimes, but
rarely, glides over her face"
Miss Haden has lived in Switzer-
land for some time and has worked
there from the beginning of the war
until the Y. W. c. A. opened "foyers"
in France, when she began working
with them. She is an accomplished
linguist, a necessary qualification for
workers in a factory such as this
where so many nationalities are en-
ployed.

supposed to be incurable. Doctors pre-

tarrh is a local disease, greatly in
fluenced by constitutional conditions
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Medicine,

The Bishops Poem is as follows:


God gave my son in trust 10 me;
Christ died for him, and he should be
a man for Christ He is his own
And Gods and mans; not mine alone.
He was not mine TO give He gave
Himself that he might help save
All that Christians should revere,
All that enlightened men hold dear.
TO feed the guns?' On, torpid soul,
Awake and see life as a whole.
When freedom, honor, justice, right
Were threatened by the despot's might
With heart afiame and soul aiight
He bravely went for God TO fight
Against base savages whose pride
The laws of God and man defied:
Who maidens pure and sweet defiled;
He did not go to feed the guns
He went TO save from ruthless Huns
His home and country, and TO be
A guardian of democracy.
What if he does not Gomez you say
All. well, my sky would be more gray,
But through the clouds the sun would
shine,
And vital memories be mine.
Gods test of manhood is, 1 know,
Not, Will he Gomez but, Did he go?
And yet he went with purpose high
To fight for peace, and overthrow
The plan of Christ's relentless foe.
He dreaded not the battlefield;
He went to make fierce vandals yield
If he comes not again to me
! shall be sad, but not that he
Went like man, a hero true,
His part unselfshly to do.
My heart will feel exultant pride
That for humanity he died.
Forgotten grave?' This selfish plea
Awakes no deep response in me,
For though his grave may not see.
My boy will ne'er forgotten be;
My real son can never die.
IT'S but his body that may lie
In foreign land, and shall keep
Remembrance fond, forever, deep
Within my heart of my true son
Because of triumphs that he won.
1T matters not where some men live,
If my dear son his life must give,
Hosannas l will sing for him,
Fen though my eyes with tears are
dim;
And when the war is over, when
His gallant comrades come again,
I'll cheer them as they're march
ing by,
Rejoicing that they did not die;
And when his vacant place / see,
My heart will bound with joy that he
Was mine so long-my fine young
son
And cheer for him whose work is
done"
