 M NE of the events of the early .U y spring will be the coming of
 Major Dupont of the French legation and the members of the Amer this evening, who will talk at s o'clock in the Tutwiler ballroom.
 There will be moving picture views of devastated lands of France, and Miss Anne Morgan, who has recently re- turned from France with a direct mes sage from French officials to all who are interested in devastated France. says:
 For two years at least France will need all the help we can give her, but France will never ask for this help; 1t must be voluntary expression of sym- pathy."
 It is hoped that as many of the club women and prominent business men will attend this evening to greet Major Dupont, who is & prominent banker of France, and socially very popular. He will tell first-handed of the terrible conditions now facing his country and his people. The greatest statesman of France has said: It is harder to make peace than to make war, and on the battlefield of the world in northern France peace will be long in making
 Today peace has driven out the en- emy, and the liberated country lies scared and burned the towns battered, to powder, the wells poisoned, the fields sown with unexploded shells, the roads and bridges destroyed. Today the ref ugees are pouring back to the site of four years under German rule are emerging from their hiding places scarcly believing in their safety. The French government asks the American committee for devastated France to assume the responsibility of superNiSius lnis departmeht, ana 10 bring aid to it's destitute people
 The fundamental purpose of the American committee is to make these people once again self supporting; to help them become food raisers in their fields; to restock their small farms; to educate their children; to give them the implements of their vocation; to fin every way assist them to become the self respecting citizens they always have been, and to obviate the possibility of pauperism.
 To do this the American committee asks the corporation of all the workers whose duties in war work are diminish ing, but whose duties in peace work will now commence. We cannot say peace on earth unless we show our good will toward men. FOR MRS, BONNIE
