LIVING MONUMENT TO DEAD
Town TO- Care for One French Orphan
for Each Of Ito Dead
Soldiers.

Chicago.-Twenty-On little French
war orphans constitute living monu-
ment which Clarinda, Ia, has planned
for Its soldier dead. A fund has been
contributed by its citizens to care for
one little war waif for each Clarinda
boy who died in France. that their
names may be kept alive, to be loved
and hOnored on both sides of the wa
ter. The family of each dead hero will
receive letters regularly from one
small protege who during its whole
lifetime Will hold the name Of their
boy in reverence.
The Clarinda citizens have paid
s36.5O-10 cents day-for each child's
support for year, through the Fla.
therless Children of France, an Ameri-
can organization with headquarters at
40 South Michigan avenue, Chicago,
cooperating with similar one In
France, Of which Marshal Joffre is the
head. The organization will see that
the adoption Of each child is made In
the name Of and as a memorial to q
dead soldier Of Clarinda. The town
plans to repeat this sum annually for
each child until It is capable Of caring
for itself.
1t has been demonstrated that 10
cents day, to supplement- the pension
OF the same amount which tic French
government, straining its resources,
granted its war orphans at the time Of
the early disasters, will suffice to keep
soul and body together in little vic
tim Of the war and enable 1t to remain
with Its mother or other living rela-
tive instead of being placed in an in
stitution. From the prayers Of such a
child the name Of the brave American
soldier who died for France and the
world will never be absent.
