filed down the gang plank and plant

French soil, three small boys were
three only persons on dock to greet
them. They hoped comically up

black frock coat down to his

AS our flag curled in the breeze
they retired bit and partook Of a

told the same story, that their father
had died and left them homeless.
This was the first meeting of Ameri-

France. They were to meet again.
The staff Of the Stars and Stripes,

adopted the first war orphan. This

Now and then a soldier who is one

triache wrote. After Madame's hus-
band was killed at the front she
worked for 25 francs month until
she dropped in her tracks. The
American Red Cross reported that
her illness was caused by overwork,
and that she would probably never
work again. Then the staff of the
Stars and Stripesc adopted Marie
Louise and the mother wrote:
"It is a great thanks from the bot

"How will l ever be able to thank

gratitude?

press my thankulness, but, be sure,
gentlemen, that my gratitude is in

This is what Marie Louise wrote:
"My dear godfathers:

not know how to write, but just the
