FRENCH GO BACK
TO HOMES RUINED
DURING THE WAR

Paris Correspondence OF the
Associated Press carrying their
little bundles of household posses
sions. the French refugees are re-
turning to their homes in Chateau
Thierry and the little French viii
lagos, around it, to Vaux, Lucy,
Belleau and the rest, places now a
part of American history.
They are coming back to ruins OF
villages and houses demolished by
German or American artillery, to
live in cellars and in the shelter
of tottering walls until they can
rebuild their homes and their re-
turn is a pitiful spectacle.
Sometimes they find no home at
all Never do they find any furni-
ture. Often they find no food, and
then the American Red Cross
steps in and helps them. The
woman who can dig out her stove
from a heap of dirt and plaster and
patch it up again SO that it will
burn counts herself inordinately
lucky. One woman found remain
ing of all her household goods just
one big salt-cellar. Forks are
worth their weight in gold, and a
feather bed is priced above rubies.
Five thousand five hundred blan-
kets the Red Cross shipped out to
returning refugees in a single week.
The people in the Aisne will not
be able to spend the winter in
their own villages. The villages on
he banks of the little Marine are
too utterly battered by shells to
afford human habitations during
the winter weather. Now, while
days are warm and skies are blue.
their owners can find some tiny
corner or other to live in, but the
rain and mud and chilly damp of
a French winter will drive them. or
if it does not a paternal govern
ment will send them, back to their
temporary homes in the uninyaded
provinces to wait for spring.
One purpose in sending them
home so quickly was, to harvest the
wheat crops but there was no food,
so the Red Cross established can
teens in many villages and served
two meals a day free to those too
poor to pay while others paid small
sums. Forty carloads of food were

Bodies of the couple are being

parlors pending arrangements to

Julia, 18-months-old baby girl,
only child of the youthful pair who
came to Rock Island only four
short weeks ago, is being well cared
for at the hospital. The tiny little
miss lies in a wee crib unknowing

thumbs only short distance away
from where only yesterday the Di-

are being separated from their
work just prior to finishing one

stated that he would endeay0r TO
see that these employees are not dis

The committee also held that in
contradiction to the statement that
less efficient and shOrt-time en-

duties first, they can show dozens
