Story of French Exiles

NATTER all. there's nothing like our

know you're home.

nvHERE is n little drama going on in
y France just at this time that ought
to make every woman III america
sink down into her favoritc chair and
nit there for n long, long time. It's
brave little drama that doesn't
need any thrills in the telling. They
are reconstructing French villages
and tn. homes that go to make them
up. And the men and women are
teseing pitifully TO be allowed not

little plot of ground from which they
were driven forth.
Sometimes 1t seems better in tho
opinion OF those who are mapping
out the reconstruction work 20 let
these French people begin life again
In other villages than their own. In
some cases the little home town is
hacked to pieces and efficiency points
away from the heap Of ruins.
But II has been found that the ache
for the old home transcends every
thought Of n better home some place
else. The little families tramp miles
and miles from their exile back into
the territory devastated by the Ger
mans. And they settle patiently but
determinedly in houses without walls,

RED CROSS PROCLAMATION

Inasmuch as the war fund of 1917,
so generously contributed by the
American Red Cross for the admins
tration of relief at home and abroad,
has been practically exhausted by ap-
preparations for the welfare of men in
our military and naval forces and
those dependent upon them and for
the yet more urgent necessities of our
allies, military and civilian, who have
long borne the brunt of war:
And inasmuch as the American Red
Cross has been recognized by law and
international convention as tie public
instrumentality for war relief:
And, inasmuch as the year of our
own participation in the war has
brought unprecedented demands upon
the patriotism and liberality of our
people, and made evident the necessity
of concentrating the work of relief in
one main organization which can re-
spOnd effectively and universally TO
the needs of humanity under stress of
war:
And inasmuch as the duration of the
war and the closer and closer cooper
alton of the American Red Cross with
our own army and navy with the
governments of our allies, and with
foreign relief organizations, have re-
suited in the discovery of new op-
pOrtunities of helpfulness unler con-
ditions which translate opportunity
into duty:
And inasmuch as the Red Cross
council and its commissioners in
Europe have faithfully and econom-
ically administered the peoples trust
Now, therefore, by virtue of my au-
thOrity as President of the United
States and president of the A lerican
Red Cross, |, Woodrow Wilson, do
hereby proclaim the week be- inning
May 20, 1918, as Red Cross Week dur
ing which the people of the United
States will be called upon again to
give generously to the important work
of relieving distress, reslcring the
waste of war and assisting in lain
tanning the morale of our yn troops
and the troops and peoples of our Al
lies by this manifestation of effort and
sacrifice on the part of those who,
though not privileged to bear arms,

MOMAN,S PART

A st. Louis woman killed herself re-
Gently because her fiance was put in
class l and her wedding date was
postponed. Her act was the result of
a totally wrong attitude. Nothing is
truer than that all the battle of the
war is not fought at the Front-every
wife or wife-to-be of a soldier in the
army is a motiving spirit for good or
evil.
The soldier who goes to the Front
with the memory of his loved ones
CHEEKY smile goes with a lightened
heart and a stronger will to fight for
his country. Recently two women met
in Union Station at ST. Louis. One
was in tears and the other moved by
her grief asked the cause. The reply
was that her son had just left for
France. The other woman looked at
her out of clear courageous eyes and
said, My fourth son has just gone to
camp; | have three sons on the firing
line" And was she in tears? No.
She had given her sons the memory
of a mother strong and self-controlled
for her country.
The tears of self-pity have small
place, in the present war.

THE KAISER'S DISAPPOINTMENT

AS the kaiser at a safe distance

extent of keeping him awake at night.
Things have not turned out as he ex-

upon thousands but he did not de-

is increasing.

Now the gold chevron on the right
sleeve or even the left sleeve of a
soldiers uniform is very rare; but
the new commandant of the University
Cadet Corps, Major Charles Gordon,
wears two, the stripes on the right
sleeve indicating a wound he received
in battle nineteen years ago, whereas
the one on the left sleeve signifies six

Major Gordon went across with his
regiment last summer with the first
American contingent to be sent to
France. And war at the front is ex-

The gold chevrons," Major Gordon
says, "are. worn by the French SOL
diers also; but they are always placed

The Frenchman must serve two
wears before he is given a chevrOn,

A recent duty Of the mission has
been the visiting Of large employ

west and even addressing the men.
Few of the auditors Of the British
officers guess that the speakers each
carry one or more wounds. Some
still have shell splinters in their
flesh while others have but recently,
after painful months, come out OF the
daza of shell shock. And when re-
covered they will go back Tor more
The thesis of their drive for re-
crufts is that employers should not
allow Britishers, residents in the
United States and thus immune to
the British draft, to stand around
waiting to step into the jobs OF drat-
ed Americans.
I'VE tell 'em to give themselves a
square deal" said Lieut.. Mason,
who is about ready to return TO
France. 1T isn't right for some
British Brighter to hide behind the
Stars and Stripes, and get the berth
of the good American who goes out
to fight for it. So we ask the men
to see to it that these Britishers get
out and fight. We take 'em from

and win have two assistants with
him. DR.. =. F. Ladd, head OF the
food administration of the federal
government for North Dakota Is AT
work on the itinerary. 1t is eA-
pected that the men will spend a
week in the state.
The members OF the committee to

Lincoln Of jamestown, N. Y; Dan
lei Reed Of Flint, Mich, and John

who win tour North Dakota has
not been selected. The federal food
administration advises that these
men have first-hand information as
10 what the food conditions are in
the warning countries. Five days |

General Pershing and his STAFF OF OF
f1cers Of the American expedittonary |
forces in France. Some time was
spent in factory and the farming

lack of rations for the soldiers, and
that conditions in Italy and the 9TH
er allied countries are just as serious
and critical now with shipping be-
ing constantly msnaced by the SUBJ
marines. The nations Of Europe
are absolutely dependent upon the
United States for their food supply
and it is stated 8uthorltatively
through Information gathered by the
federal food administration, that

in the allied countries is for three
months duration.
