Marcel is a man. He Is just fifteen

he Is a man because In the last four
years time has burned into his cnlld
heart marks that should walt for stern
err maturity. He Is a man because ne
has the responsibility Of woman. DE
has no father. The Germans saw to
that. Marcel has had to stand by ana
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 as 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 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.

funds because deluged by calls for
help, tried to relieve the family by TAX

And then when everything seemed

Mend the barns and stay near by to
see that things went well?" Yes, and
the children could stay, said the Red
Cross, as they had said to hundreds
of Others
That was two years ago. Today this
family is self supporting and has some
to spare for the more needy ones, who
still are being helped. Little Jean is
taller. He looks well fed-and he is
well fed. The baby is so rolly poly
that the dimples have come again.
They are In good spirits-on their feet
once more.
And Marcel. He has finished the
course that the Red Cross gave him
in an agricultural school. 1t is he who
has been running the farm so well. He
did 1t all. At least they let him think
so, for heaven knows he has seen the
bottom Of the bitter cup. And l know
that the Red Cross will want me to
say he did 1t, for that is the way they
work-quietly, earnestly, efficiently,
without stint, without waste, without
boast.
