1t was pitiful groups of people that

The men from that section today are

from ten to sixteen years of age had
been taken prisoners by the Germans
and deported to German concentration
camps. 1t was women, children anG

What we want to do now is to fol-

Americans with relief from destitu-

soldiers fought their way through and
rescued these war victims of France.
This has opened for us the opportun-

Some parts of the reclaimed section

such a surprise that the enemy was
unable to undertake his usual work of

on everything he could carry away

destroyed will serve as immediate
shelter, those that were wrecked car
