The Last Appeal

One of the most appealing of the
after-the-war campaigns will be
launched this month, asking for fos-
ter parents for 10000 little war or
phans of France. Mrs. Walter S.
Brewster, wife of the Roumanian con-
sui to Chicago, chairman of the Chi
cago committee and vice-president of
the National Committee of the Faith
erless Children of France. has charge
of the promotion of this campaign
Mrs. Brewster has just returned
from tour of investigation through
the devastated regions of France.
The highest French officials pro-
vided her with military escort and
bestowed upon her every courtesy
during her visit to the war zone She
lived with the appalling conditions of
these children and their mothers
she knows that thousands of children
lover there" are undernourished
starving, and succumbing to sickness.
I'm all the northern country" says
Mrs. Brewster. there is no village
untouched. and scarcely house with
a roof. There is not a bridge that
has not been dynamited, factory
that has not been ruined The tales
that are told of the boche invasion
are unthinkable- shocking. Still the
people Of the north tell them dispas-
sionately. They have borne SO much
they have no energy to show excite
ment over their suffering.
They are coming back into these
terrible towns as soon as they are
allowed. They bring their posses
sions with them in two string bags,
usually. Possibly they have enough

as you can see. are heaps of sand, no
sign Of life that was. no promise of
any life to come.
Here and there is cross where
some soldier. killed In the last days
of the lighting, is buried.
Those who died in the frightful-
ness of the earlier battles lie some
where beneath that awful heap of
dust. All along this strip of dead
country are soldiers graves, singly
in the middle of plowed fields. in
groups along the roads. or row after
row in some field cemetery. The
fathers of many of the little children
for whom we are seeking to care are
