MYSTERIOUS WOMAN
REBUILT THIS TOWN

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. 9.-lnter-
national mystery surrounds two at
tractive American women who picket
the shell-ruined French village Of
Vitrement out of its Lorraine mud and
rebuilt it completely.
Mrs. Croker and Mrs. Polk" is the
best Identification the Woman's Com
mittee of the Council Of National De-
Tense has Of them 1t would like to
know more.
They scuttled up in the wake of the
German retreat, dir Mrs. Polk and
Mrs. Croker" rebuilt the village with
their own few assistants hands, and
hid their identity meath peach basket
hats.
The story-what the Lorrainers
know of it-leaked through from
France to the woman's committee here,
There is glory and pride for some
American city, town or village in the
feminine accomplishment,
They appeared as mysteriously at
Vitrement as those redoubtable globe
trotting old ladies, Mrs. Lecks and
Mrs. Aleshine," of fiction fame de-
seconded upon the deserted cottage.
efore the war, Vitrement was a gay
and smiling little town. The Germans
took it on their way to Paris. When
the Teutonic hordes rolled back be-
fore the French and ritish onslaught
there was no more left Of Vitrement
than there is of a loose seashell when
the breaker laps it from the beach
Refugees came struggling back-to
nothing
Mrs. Croker and Mrs. Polk APP
peared. With them came building ma
terials and workmen. Up went new
houses on the black ruins one by one.
The town hall walked in and sat down
on it's foundation in due time. Even
the fountain where the cattle came to
drink rose in its old place. And by
the time all the villagers came back,
COWS were in their stables, under the
sheds were carts, and in the barns
hay, straw and seed.
1t was a shining example Of miracle
in the world of desolation. But the
gay, busy feminine American miracle
workers were gone

second class. The Recruiting Officer
made special note of his physique and

But he failed on deck Said he
three thousand tons of coal is too
much TO put aboard ship between
daylight and dark" And a breech
plug Weighing 1850 lbs. was too

the decks in the morning were too

SO he changed his rate to hospital

Then, in conclusion. Mr. Editor~Srt
seems to me that every man and wom-

willing to forego any hardship so that
the brave boys who are over there

under which to hide that money may
accrue to himself. Shame on the man
