French Fund Grows.

Never yet have tho clubwomen Of

pleas for aid from other women and
children. No matter how far or near
the call for help comes, their response
Is always prompt and generous.

who have worked tlrelessly for several
days TO ecure the sun Of SIS, 900 for
the sufferers In the regions OF devas-

their amount secured as 5 $500. d
This is q splendid amount to have
been secured by the women alone, par
ticulaTly when one considers the many
dlscourAgements with which they have
had to cope. Insidious German propa-
gRndR and reports circulated by small
sOuled German sympathizers. TO the
effect that France does not need money
or aid. and that the money Is not used
for a worthy purpose, have had their
effect on a few people who are too
selfish to pause md reason how untrue
such reports must be, France, after

The committee for devastated France
is o asking for funds with which to
rebuild homes. but only for n reasonable
Amoun with which to purchase rakes
and hoes and other farming implements,
so that the people may raise food for
themselves.
Al a meeting OF the Nineteenth Cen
fury committee Monday afternoon the
team captains made splendid reports Of
the amounts which they have secured.
Probably the largest reported was Mrs,
X. F, Lakes committee, with a total
Of 800; Mrs, Robert York'E committee,
$500; woman's committee, national
council Of defense. 5000; Young Ladies

efforts and cooperation.
