choice as to where they would go from
Paris. These 1t was necessary to
maintain until they could be provided
with homes. Many with definite des-
tinatiOns wished to proceed at once on
their journeys. This involved a night
trip to another railway station across
Paris. Until motortrucks and automo-
5iles could be assembled, the Red
Cross men hired push carts for the
night and personally led caravans of
refugees with baggage and belongings
to the other depots. Many little chill

On that day hundreds of thousands
of tags will be placed on the coal

The United States is fifty million
