Europe Has Decorated
100 American Women

Where the home government has been
brusque, matter of fact and democratic"
in it's attitude toward our women, we
find the ceremonious old governments of
Europe glad to pay homage to those who
sailed from here across the seas and
gave their strength and good spirits and
money to help bring about the common
victory.
Over one hundred American women
have been decorated by foreign govern
ments. Many more will receive decora-
tlons after the signing of the peace
treaty.
The greater number of these are Red
Cross nurses, some Of whom saw service
IN the early days of the war in Serbia
and Russia as we'll as in France. and
others who were with the American
army hospital forces within the range
of German aerial raids last summer.
France bestows the Croix de Guerre onlv
upon persons who show conspicuous
bravery under fire. A man or woman
may show every quality of heroism back
IN y. .. 5" (service of supplies), and
there are plenty of other decorations in
the gift of the chivalrous French, but not
the CroiX dc Guerre. Every nurse. for
example, who served in the American
Ambulance Hospital at Neuilly has been
decorated by the French government
with the 'medaile epidemique," medal
bestowed by the French government in
times of peace for distinguished service
IN stamping out epidemics, but extended
during the war rs a courtesy to all the
nurses IN the greatest of American
hospitals.
Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt. founder
OF the American Ambulance, was prob
ably the first Americanwoma to receive
a foreign decoration. 1t was on Aupust
10, 1915, that word came to this country
that President Poincare had requested
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be-
stow upon Mrs. Vanderbilt a gold medal
IN recognition of her work with the
American Committee for Clothing the
Wounded Nestiaire des Blesses).
Similar medals were presented on tho
same occasion to Mrs. Robert Woods
Bliss, wife of the secretary of the Ameri-
can Embassy, in recognition of her work
for war orphans, and to Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney, who early in the war
founded hospital at Juilly.

Officers of the club are typical of the
KIND of woman that is wanted for mem-
bershp. Miss Parker is connected with
the National League for Woman's Scr
vice; Miss Mary Carmichael. Of tbo
executive committee, is with the Chill
drens Museum of Brooklyn; Miss Ade-
lalde lehman is with the Vacation Asso-
cation; Miss Jessamine Peabody has
charge of forty stenographcrs with a
business house.
The call is to the business and nro-
fesslona woman, the woman in between
the working and the leisure class who
IS so used to planning for herself that
no one else does it for her.

Conference With
Foreign Experts

This goal is far from being attained
although chldrens year is officially
over. There is no indication that the work
begun during the last twelve months is
going to be allowed to lapse. On the
contrary, in a number of states plans
are under way to make every year a
chidren's year either by continuing the
present organization or by turning the
work over to some other agency. There
is, according to those who have been in
close touch with the work. a new con
sclousness of the value of the child and
his need for proper surroundings, good
health, wholesome play, adequate school
lng' protection from premature work
and special care in many cases. This
consciousness is indicated not only in
local activities for child welfare, but in
laws contemplated by the states.

ton reads: "For GOODNESS and gallantry

ators bombed the hospital where she was

Miss Bullard tells the story of nurs-
ing in scissors during the spring drive
of 1918:
III took care of wounded for six weeks
under bombardment, both by cannon and
avions, every day and every night. Our
hospital was struck nine times, corri-
doris fell and pillars were demolished.
We were told to leave, carrying our
equipment to the cave to load into cami-
ons as soon as night fell

first wounded were arriving, 500 or
1000 of them on stretchers. We took
our alcohol lamps and ran. For twenty
four hours we ran from one case to the
next. My chief gave me permission to
administer hypodermics at my discre-
ton, and, OH how we did work to make
them live"
The following day the danger in
creased so that nurses and "blesses"
were ordered back to the next hospital.
Miss Jaffray elected to stay with the
medical officer but even he was finally
ordered to leave. And then, as they
started to board their train they we're

lege of sleeping in the railroad station
