Central Iron and Steel Company.
At each of her meetings, all of
them reeking with stories of German
atrocities, Comtesse de Bryas paid a
special tribute to the general excel

anything for an American. To be an
American is the open sesame to
many doors that were always locked
before"
Stories of the most blood 5curdling
atrocities were told by Comtesse de
Bryas, who has lived and worked in
bleeding France during some of the
most revolving of depredations. Stor-
les of how loaves of bread were
loaded with explosives and left to be
picked up by peasants to be taken
home to feed their hungry families,
only to explode and put an end to
their suffering. stirred up a bitter
feeling against the Hun in breasts of
hundreds of hearers.
Little children in France don't
know what it is to play games any
longer" the speaker related with
touching pathos. Continuing, she
said, 1.-The Germans have taken all
their pleasures from them"
To illustrate the utter lack of prin-
ciple in the war campaign of the
Germans, Comtesse de Bryas related
some of the acts committed against
the Red Cross societies and their
workers. She related how an Amer
