STARVED TOTS Cared
FOR BY RED CROSS
Story of Tragedy and Pathos in
Struggle of Child Life in the
War Arena.

A eablegram received at the head
STARTERS of the American Red Cross in
Washington brought another human in
lterest story of tragedy and pathos in
the child life Of the French and Bel
gian war areas.
"six hundred and fifty underfed chill
dren, ravel-worn after three days in a
closed train coming from Belgian prov
.inces," says the cablegram, crossed
the frontier last night and reached
Evian at dawn. The morning blare OF
French trumpets met the children
who, some too young to know their age,
had travelled motherless and unac-
companied. They poured into the street
crying 'Vive la France and 'Yive la
Belgique,' shaking hands with every
bystander.
"Trumpeters, like six Pied Pipers OF
Harnelin, led the dancing, shouting
throng to the casino-all except few
sick children who were carried in
American Red Gross ambulances. AT
the casino all received food; flags
were distributed and songs were sung
Welcoming words were spoken by the
mayor. Even the small children knew
the words Of Brabanconne' and the
ttNarseillaise,' but some of them were
so tired that they slept right through
the music.
"Next came baths, examination by
an American Red Cross doctor; and
then lunch and sleep. Tomorrow these
children start for Lcnglandier, where
the American Red Cross will house
thousands of them-some orphans, 9TH
;ers pretubercular Or needing better
nourishment than was possible under
the German rule fro,nwhich they had
come.
"One little girl in the throng disem'
barking at Evian clutched four franc
pieces in a pudgy fist. What are you
going to do with them?' she was asked
Buy paper to write to mamma, was
the reply"
Another cablegram received at Red
Cross headquarters says that in q
speech to the last trainload of repat'
ries, the mayor Of Evian called par
ticular attention to their gratitude to
the American Red Cross for the splen.
did work it is doing in hospital care Cd
sick children. The speech was instant
ly responded to with shouts Of "L'Amer
ique vive nos allies"
