PARIS, April AL the American re-
lief workers living in the territory just
conquered for the second time by the Ger
mans came through the ordeal safely COW
cred with honor. Without exception. they
conducted themselves with calm efficiency
and sometimes with heroism. In every
case they helped the civil population in
their charge to get away before leaving
the towns themselves. which they did In
several cases under bombardment. The
units permanently stationed there before
the invasion were as follows:
/. The Smith College Relief Unit at
Gracourt, composed of fifteen American
girls. They have retired to Beauvais
and are still working among the refugees.
They were asked by telegraph to return
to Paris but refused. They are the idols
Of the countryside.
2. The Philadelphia Emergency Aid.
This is composed Of six American women.
who were reconstructing VilleQuier-Au-
mont. They have retired southwark by
way of Compeigne.
8. The American Fund for French
Wounded The unit under charge OF Mrs.
Dixie and Miss Anne Morgan, is now at
Vic-Sur-Aisne, though it is doubtful
whether it can remain there.
4. The American Red Cross Children's
Hospital. recently founded at Nesle. The
four American women under DR.. Baldwin
have retired to Beauvais.
5. The Quaker unit. working at Ham.
This also retired safely to Beauvais.
8. The American Red Cross director at
Noyon, Henry Copley Green, after max
ing sure that no soul remained in the city,
retired to Compeigne. where he Is still
working under heavy bombardment.
Especially admirable has been the work
Of Lucy Stockton, an American chauf-
feuse, with the French Red Cross. She Is
detach workers are safe and working in
various places. 1t is marvellous that not
one was even wounded. The services of
these Americans to the French at this

tically every garden cultivated last
