house escaped for the time being. But later on
1t was burned by other Germans. When found
this woman she was working Is hours each day
washing for the soldiers. / asked her why she
worked so hard and she told me that 1t was
because she had nothing left to her In the wide
world and the only way to keep herself from
heartbreak was to be always occupied.
The conditions under which most of these peo-
pie have been living are horrifying Their
houses are heaps of ruins. You can hardly be-
lieve the systematic way in which the Germans
proceeded to destroy their dwellings, A bomb
was thrown into every house along the line Of
march The furniture was all broken up or
burned, fruit trees were cut down, and the wells
polluted. Yet, when the invading tide swept
back these villagers came back at once to their
former homes. This devotion Of the French peas-
ant to his little home Is something which Amerl
cans can hardly appreciate He loves it ardent
ly; 1t is almost part Of him he cannot bear to
leave it.
During the time when they were struggling
to rebuild their shattered homes, these peasants
had to live in cellars and dugouts. OF course
these places were most unhealthy and not tit to
remain in. once went down into a cellar in
which an old couple was living. The roof of the
cellar so low that when was seated on
little plank talking to the old people had to
stoop. The floor was entirely mud, and the water
seeped in through the walls and trickled down
In tiny streamlets In the corner was the straw
bed which had been furnished the old couple
seven months before. 1t was indescribably filthy
and so damp that one could twist it and wiring
water out of it. Yet the chief desire Of the old
woman was for plate to eat off. The Germans
had destroyed their crockery and household
utensils and they had only one old metal skillet,
In which they cooked and from which they ate.
In one village saw a mother who had gone
back to live In little shelter which she had
built for herself in the corner formed by the only
two remaining walls Of her dwelling. Over the
top of this place she placed planlss. One SIDE
was open to the weather. The cold, raw weather
made Ii difficult to exist In such place. my
self have lived In little wooden building near
the front, similar to the barracks In which the
soldiers live, and know the cruel winter wealth
er of these parts of France.
The hardship has been greatest on the little
children. Oh, the poor children! They no longer
play. They have forgotten all their games. They
do not know what II means to run and laugh and
be gay. AS they walk along the streets you will
see them start suddenly and look over their
shoulders In frightened way. SO great has
been the terror instied into them by the Ger
mans.
An officer told me of seeing two little children
standing against wall In the town of Maissin,
in the north of France, one day in August, 1914
Across the road was burning house. When the
French officer asked them why they were waiting
shut their father and mother up in that house
and had told them TO wait there until they came
back TO fetch them

SHE WHO SERVES "OVER HERE" SERVES WELL

AS a plain business proposition,
some women do not see much sense
in wasting" as they say, two or three
years learning to nurse, when they
can make good money right away in
several other employments.
This reference to the nursing situa'
ton illustrates the attitude of too
many women to certain important
kinds of war work 1t makes clear
the difference between the direct SER
vice which women want to do, and
which only few of them can do, and
the indirect but unspectacular service
for which every woman in the land. is
drafted, but which many refuse to see.
The women about to enroll them
selves in war work must get a finer
sense Of the relative value of differ
ent kinds of war service.
It is fine, indeed, to fry doughnuts
in canteen in France. for aviatOrs
who swoop down from the zenith, but
it is just as fine and much more ne
cerrary to help some farmers wife
feed a shift of hungry harvesters who
are saving American crops to feed a
starving world.

THE CALL OF THE CITY.

THE CALL OF THE CITY.
: The lure of the city, which takes
so many young men to Broadway each
year and holds them fascinated within
the glare of the white lights, finds a
fitting exposition in remarkable way
at the Auditorium where the great
Biblical spectacle, "The Wanderer'' is
to be presented In this ply, Jether,
the prodigal son of the Biblical par
able, leaves his home, his little sweet
heart Naomi, and his loving parents
in order to go to the big city OF Jeru-
salem and make his fortune. He goes
against the advice and the pleadings
of his parents and resists even the
touching appeal of his little sweet
heart, Naomi. who wishes him to re-
main in the country because she fears
the evil influence Of the women he
will meet in the big city.
= One of the most beautiful speeches
of the entire play, "The Wanderer,"' is
tina tin which Jether describes the city
of his dreams:
But of the city? Couldst thou but
see as see when from the distant
