Marcel Gets His
Barn Mended
Red Cross Helps This IS Year
Old French Boy-and His
Family.

Marcel is man. He is just fifteen
years old, but yet he is a man. l say
he is man because in the last four
years time has burned into his child
heart marks that should wait for stern
er maturity. He is a man because he
has the responsibility of a woman. He
has no father. The Germans saw to
that Marcel has had to stand by and
see his small brothers and baby sister
ask in vain for food while he fought
off the pressing call from his growing
boys stomach. He has had to see
tears from his mothers eyes drop on
the plowed ground ps she worked the
soil his father would have titled had
he not gone away out of the peaceful
ness of the Marne valley into the iron
hail of the Aisne and ON into the here
after.
The boy, who was now a man, work.
ed hard, yes. too hard. With his hair
less hands and his boys strength he
fought almost alone the unequal fight
against want with what little help his
frail mother could give.
