sausle and Craps
The black troops are bringing Amer.

he Is In the overalls Of the stevedore
or the olive drab Of the fighting man

The nearness of the war. the whizx
Of the bullets and the roar Of the

negro.
Their barracks mt night are alive
with music. At least one man In every

France Needs Her ORPHANS,

Tie cas- why YOU can't adopt g
French war orphan and bring If into
your w home In America Is because
France needs all her babies to make
up for war losses, according to VI.
Stephane Lausanne, editor Of lie Ma
tin Of Paris. The great French cdltos
explains that need in an interview IL,
Peoples Home Journal.
Our most precious possession Whtr.
the war ends will be human beings
Our sturdy men will have much w0rl,
to do. Our wounded, mutiiatrd sob
diers will have their work TO do, too,
for they must be educated to follow
new trades. Our women will have.
their full share of occupation. And
our children are our future citizens.
"If we send them to America tleg
would learn to love America as thol.
own country. They would be weaneti
from France. We cannot afford that
We must keep them with us. Think Of
our loss In human life in this war"
