MERCHANT MARINE RECRUITS ENROLL
 FROM BRIDGEPORT

The names of all of the young men who enrolled for service in the merchant marine with special agent William Hindle, and who were not 21 years of age, have been forwarded to the Boston headquarters of the Merchant Marine. About 55 men en- rolled who are between the ages Of 21 and 31 will be summoned to ap- pear before the examining physician Dr. John F. Flynn, to be examined.
 The recruits who pass the required will probably be called into service within a. few days and will be assign ed to either the training ship Calvin Austin or the Gov. DingIey.
 Four more men applied for service in the arine service. Two of the men have had previous sea training. Augustine Joseph Cleary of S81 Broad street, enliseed as an oiler. He was in merchant marine service be- fore for a period of two years. Flu gene Michael Kavanaugh of 602 Main street, has had about two years and a half of sea training and wishes to join the service as sailor. Hugh Malone of 1032 Main street, and Joseph D. Youhas, of 53 Belmont avenue, enrolled to become oilers.

 Lord D'Abernon, chairman of the Liquor Control Board, on the same subject, said, "It is sincerely hoped that during demobilization there will be no relaxations of the regulations now in force. The return to this country of men who will naturally fell themselves entitled to a certain amount of pleasure will create con- ditions wherein excess might burst forth again, and therefore it will be very unwise to adopt a relaxation which might create a national disas- ter.
 If the present system of restric. tions in regard to the sale of drink is maintained for a few mo-ths this country will be able to claim that it has advanced further along the path of temperance reform than any coun- eGy in the world"

DIR. WInFRED T. GREENFIELD

Everybody has read of the mission ary labors of Dr. Wilfred Thomas Grenfell among the Eskimos of La brador and the deep sea fishermen of the bleak Newfoundland coast, but little has been written about one of his greatest benefactions. When the people he has served so faithfully celebrate today the f1fty-third anni- versary of pr. Grenfe1I's birth, their thanks in no small degree will be for the reindeer he caused to be intro- duced to them.
 Dr. Grenfen was born near Chester, England, Feb. 2S, 1865, and after leaving Oxford and the London Hos- pital enlisted as a medical mission ary. His work in Labrador began twenty-six years ago, and, by his hos pitals, schools and small industrial; enterprises, soon accomplished won- ders.
 As a physician, pr. Grenfen soon found that most of the diseases to which the Labrador Eskimos were subject were due to lack of sufficient fresh meat and vegetables. After vari- ous experiments with pigeons, hares and cattle, he decided that the domes- ticated reindeer offered the only solu- ton of the difficulty. Then he began preaching reindeer, in season and out, but the Newfoundland govern ment turned a deaf ear. Eventually he succeeded in interesting wealthy individuals, and a fund was raised with which some 300 Norwegian reindeer were purchased. In the ten years that have passed since the animals were unloaded at Crome- Here, the herd has vastly increased in numbers, while hundreds of the animals have been butchered for food.

heir babies of German fathers, inn ploring us to take them before their husbands came back. You see in near ly all cases men are willing to take back their wives. They are not like the men, say, in our class. They do not blame the women. But they ab- the Boche babies.
 ''What is to be done with these? First of all, the important thing is to save them for France, because France has great need of babies. Did you know that we have lost nearly 1,500,- 900 of our men?
 Our plan is to take the babies and care for them in our creche until we can find good homes for them in peas ant families. We pay the mothers so much a week for looking after them. Already a number of them have been placed. We want these children to grow up French, and to be French they must belong to France and feel that France belongs to them. Are they not half French already?
 How many of them are there? A great many, am afraid. They are be- ing born every day in the departments of the Somme, the Aisne and the Disc. And that does not take into account those in the provinces which we still have to win back.
 Packed Like Chickens
 ''The mothers bring the babies to Noyon, where Baron Henri Rothschild has a rescue station. There they are packed in boxes like little chickens and sent to us. Sometimes they are not more than two days old.
 Of course. the children are not all 'Boches.' Some are French children, born after their fathers went away. We have older children as well, whose mothers have died or deserted them. These also we place in families. Our plan is to mix them all together, so that only we shall know their origin"
 From the chateau we motored to Chambly, where the society has it's creche But these children seem to have been born without the instincts of play. Play will no doubt come in time.
 "They are different from other bab- ies, you see," said the Princess, land see how plainly you can tell the tBoches' "BiIt no,," she added quick ly, "they are all French" ''They are all French!" That Is to be the saving word for these tragic little victims of Kultur. (By The In ternationaI News Bureau. Inc, Boston, Mass-)

What is to be done with these baby invaders? Shall they grow up without g country, perhaps to strike new blow at the civilization which cast them off? Shall the mothers have to choose between keeping them, and by so doing put out again the re kindied home-fires, or give them up as out cast? Shall the intrus, as they are call- ed, be herded in institutions with oth- CT fouqdlings and left in ignorance of their origin?
 SoIdie: Husbands Cry
 The committee which answered the cry of the soldier husband has ready the answer for France. It is the "Oeuvre de Protection de PEnfance danS les Regions LbereeS." Its offices are at Rue de Teheran, 16, Paris, and it counts in Its membership some of the best konWD names in France. It was the president, Princess Murat, who outlined the plans of the society and made it possible for me to visit its creche at Chambiy. The princess is the descendant of Marshal Ney and a
  Her youngest son, a boy of nineteen, gave his life that France might live.
 The princess 2s what Americans call natural" If one had to sum her up in a word, that word would be sanity. She has that superb French sang froid which is the salvation of France to- day.
 "Our work it is - Shall tell you from the beginning?" she said. You see, my chateau here at Chambly was left untouched by the Germans. In the early days three Uhlans rode in at the gate, but as they were afraid of the park they rode out again. The French 75's were just over there where you see that far line of trees. I was spared what many have to suffer.
 ''It is true, have lost my boy. But they have taught me a great deal, these French mothers of ours. Many of them, too, have lost their boys, and with them all that makes life worth living besides. What they have suffer- ed! I tell you, F'~0nce is on the Cross! Yet they do not complain.
 Since the war. left me the power to help others I looked about to find the greatest need.
