AMERICAN GIRLS
CARRIED MAIL BAGS,
Three Young Women Entrusted
BY French Government with
Important Task for Army
During German Offensive

American girls are busy in countless
ways to win the war in their own
country, as has been shown by many
reports received by the Department OF
Labor. and it has now developed that
they are equally active in France
Three American girls, all prominent
socially and members of widely known
New York and Montana families, have
been acting as mail carriers between
Senlis and Vic-sur-Aisne.
News of their work was received by
the American Committee for Devas-
tated France, which has headquarters
at 16 East Thirty-ninth Street, New
York City. The young women began
their career as mail carriers during
the first week in June, when the Ger
man Army was making Roadway in
its drive toward Paris. The shortage
of man power and the congestion of
the railroads, which were carrying
munitions to the front, made the mail
problem difficult, and the French
i Government was glad to avail itself
OF the services of the three girls.
They are the Misses Barbara Allen,
daughter of Frederick H. Allen, Of
New York; Margaret Moore, of Butte,
Mont, and Miriam Blagden, of New
York Miss Allen furnished the motor
and the other young women assisted
in handling the mail sacks.
Senile is one of the towns nearest
great rush OF 1914. 1t was badly
damaged during their occupation. In
taking the mail from that place to
Vic-sur-Aisne the young women had
to make their way as best they could
toward tn eighting line, task calling
Tor quick decisions and clear thinking
as we'll as for plenty Of personal cour-
age and willingness to work hard.
The roads during those days were
not only in the usual bad condition OF
shell holes and ruts but the mass of
moving humanity made travel on foot
or by car of great deliberation and
caution. The stream of refugees
moving out to safety with all the pos
sessions they could carry, and the
stream of soldiers moving in toward
danger with munition wagons and
travelling kitchens, caused a delay in
the routine OF the post, but the work
of the three American girls preserved
the letters safely.
The instance was the first where
the French Army has confided the task
Of carrying mail to women.
The Committee for Devastated
France is officially part of the Sixth
Army Corps, and is as much under
military orders as any other unit.
