FoYERs IN FRANCE.

Four Departments Of the French
Government have asked the American
<. W. G. A. to open social and recrea-
ltlon centers for girls employed by
them Finance, Commerce, war and
Labor.
Lieutenant Poncet Of the Ministry
Iof Labor recently requested that this
4 W. G. A. work be begun for girls In
MS offices after seeing the social and
recreation centera which had been
opened at the request Of the Ministry
OF War. Sixteen centers Of this. kind
are operated In six cities In France.
Three Of them are in Paris.

The rooms are bright and cheerful,
with chintz hangings and cushions,
comfortable chairs, reading and writ

Hold our babies Just minute, plead
. hundred thousand mothers to Amer.
lea. Take them on your knee that we
may rest our arms. We have walked
miles and miles. Our breasts are dry.
Our babies are dying for the want OF
piece of bread
Can not the people Of Tennessee
hear that cry from across the seas?
From the Near East where filth and
disease Turk Under every piece of de-
molished homes?
Their wall has been heard by the
American Committee for Relief in the
Near East and is being echoed to the
whole United States With the echo
comes the cali for money. Funds for
the greatest and most far-reaching
charitable cause ever presented to the
people Of this wealthy nation.
These peoples, this mother and her
brown-eyed baby, we're driven from
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1919-01-17

their peaceful and quiet villages by the
Turkish armies when that German
Differed organization of fiends invad.
ed the Western Asiatic countries Of
Persia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Armenia
and others. Deported for hundreds Of
miles. At each turn in the winding
road lies heap Of skeletons. Mile
stones in the march of Kultur with
its Turkish atrocities.
This mother Is one OF hundreds Of
thousands returning to their former
homes. Her husband died on the way
that she and Baby might live Both
were refined and educated. Baby was
to have been sent to the village school
and then given furtheryopport to
become useful citizen OF the world.
What IL 1t does prattle with weak
voice in another tongue? What is Ian
guage, anyway? Speech is nothing
more than certain arrangements Of
sounds that express thoughts. Does the
fact that Baby's mother and father ex-
pressed their thoughts differently
from Americans lessen the duty to
answer the call for help?
And now, unless the people of the
United States heed this prayer for
help, 100000 orphans will die and their
deaths will be checked as the sins Of
selfish heart Every refusal to help
this Baby is the signing of its death
warrant.
Tennessee is asked TO give 100000.
The entire State has been organized
under the direction OF state chair
man and state director. T. Graham
Hall is the state chairman and Seth
Seiders, state director. Each county
has county chairman and effective
organization which is seeking contribu.
tons for the saving of these lives.
All expenses Of the campaign are met
by subscriptions privately solicited.
Every cent of every dollar given in
this drive goes to the purchase of food
and clothing for these unfortunateS
and this Baby will be one OF them. 1t
will be placed in an orphanage and
given education, and food for body.
soul and mind. 1t will be allowed to
play with others. If Tennessee does
not give 100000 or more there always
will be stain upon It. Its citizens
will not fail in the only purely Chart
able relief work every undertaken on
nationwide scale, by such men as
Cleveland H. Dodge, William H. Taft
and Charles Evans Hughes, who are
members of the executive committee.
Cleveland H. Dodge Is National Treas
urer. A. B. Benedict, general mana
ger Of the Nashville Trust Company,
is state treasurer.
This little Baby's mother knows that
somewhere here is food and lots Of 1t.
She knows that there are ships to bring
it to her little darling. And the PEG.
pie Of Tennessee know there is. too.
and they will make the way clear for
that life-sustaining food to reach this
mother and child, and hundreds OF
thousands Of other mothers and chill
dren, in time to keep those heaps Of
skeletons from growing larger.
