Noyon, the French town adopted by
Washington, was evacuated by the
French last night. 1t lies within the
first German occupancy and has for
some time been on the edge of the
fighting lines near the British right
flank.
Washington has already contributed
about $3.50 for the benefit of its new
adoption" the money having gone to-
ward providing the inhabitants with
the necessities for existence and trade
rather than toward any restoration
program as regards its building. Mrs.
Henry F. Dimock was chairman of the
committee which started the work
here. Plans were in progress to raise a
much larger sum to be used later, but
these plans were halted. Temporarily.

Work Comes to a Close.
The work, as far as Noyon is con-

a close pending the hoped-for and ex-
pected later .re-evacpation by the Ger
man forces. Later a strong local COM
mittee is expected to renew the work.
Mrs. Algernon Sartoris, one of the
leaders in the movement. was in WASH
