To Sew for Orphans

To Sew for Orphans
Appeals to the school children of
the United States to make garments
for needy children, women and old
men, who fled from the invaded dis
tricts early in the war are being made
by the Red Cross. Some of these
people are in France, others daily
cross the Swiss border. A recent
cablegram from Paris states that an
average of ESQ children arrive daily
FROM behind the German lines at
Evianle-Bain and that lin the first
week of the American Dispensary over
2,4O0 children were examined, more
than 1900 being between the ages of
three and thirteen years." The refu-
gees are destitute and ill. They must
be given both food and clothing be-
fore being sent ont to their "billets'
in various towns and villages. The
French government which is putting
all it's force into the fighting line can
not care for these wrecks of war.
They depend for all the first needs of
lite for food, shelter and clothing up
on the American Red Cross.
The Red Cross will continue to meet
these heavy responsibilities as long
as the people in America stand behind
it with money and supplies. 1t is call
ing upon its newest members, the girls
and boys in the school auxiliaries to
clothe these children and their par
ents. The American children are as
sured that not an atom of their work
in to the Red Cross for this purpose
adds to some refugees fighting chance
for life. !"
The Red Cross association says:
Keep in constant touch with the
nearest Red Cross chapter to find out
what articles are most needed Use
only the warmest and most durable
materials you can obtain, following di-
rections in the American Red Cross
pamphlets, Nos. COZ, 497, 408, 409."
The appeal from these destitute
French children, whose fathers are
fighting side by side in the trenches
with the fathers OF American children
should set going the little fingers on
this side of the water. ~. ,alar;
English schools took up this work
early in the war, sending in few
months 10000 kits" to Belgian and
Servia4 children.
Normal school girls in France came
to the aid of pupils driven from school
in the invaded districts, making cloth
es for them and receiving them into
their homes. American school auxil
iaries are beginning well. The Chica-
go school auxiliaries turned in 17,l22
hospital and refugee garments De-
tween the beginning of the school
year and December l. The children
knit even as they walk to school.
