THE LAST APPEAL
For Foster Parents for $4,000 French
War Orphans

One of the most appealing of the
after-the war campaigns will be
launched this month, asking for fos-
ter parents for $4,000 little war or
phans of France. Mrs. Walter S.
Brewster, wife of the Roumanian
Consul to Chicago, Chairman Of the
Chicago Committee and Vice-Presi-
dent of the National Committee of
The Fatherless Children of France,
has charge of the promotion of this
campaign.
Mrs. Brewster has just returned
from a 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 chill
dren cover there" are pndernourish-
ed, starving, and succumbing to sick
ness.
"In 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, a factory
that has not been ruined. The tales
that are told of the boche invasion
are misunderstanding. 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 possessions with them in
two string bags, usually. Possibly
they have enough to fill red cotton
tablecloth lnotted at the corners. To
Cambria, 1900 out of a pre-war
population of $4,000 have returned.
They live ten and twelve in a room,
and many of the rooms have no
roofs.
"For two days we motored over
this northern country before we saw
a cow, a chicken or horse. The
country is stripped bare Of every
thing that makes it livable. But to
the French it is still lovable. AS you
ride through it your pity for France
is infinite. But in your mind are no
words to express your feelings to-
ward Germany. There are miles and
miles of grayish-brown dust where
were fertile farms, pleasant villages,
forests and orchards. About Verdun,
as far 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 fighting, 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 chill
dren for whom we are seeking to
care are buried there, and more have
left notra ce."
Every day of her stay in the war
zone it was made vividly clear to
Mrs. Brewster that 1--WE must work
harder and faster than ever before"
for thousands of children are perish
ing in France.
Under the plan of the campaign
being undertaken, each American
foster parent pledges ten cents

Glad to Try Anything

Three years ago my system
was In a terribly run down con-
dittOn and I was broken out all
over my body. I began to be wor-
ried about my condition and I
was glad to try anything which
would relieve me. Peruna was
blood remedy and tonic. and I
soon found that it was worthy
OF praise. A few bottles changed
my condition materially and in a
short time I was all over my
trouble. I owe my restoration to
health and strength to Peruna.

the ocean itself, and drop it's shells
into a city. Coast stations could not
return the fire without the assistance
Of airplanes. Before other ships
could reach her she could do extreme
damage and move away.
The power alone from one broad
side of all her guns is sufficient to
hurl six massive touring cars from
Sandy Hook to New York City.
If she fired a shell from one of her
largest guns, pointing directly in the
air, it would reach height of five
and three-fourth miles, or nearly
twice as high as Pixies Peak in Col
orado.
The keel of the superdreadnought

the ways upon which the California
was "born." At the time the contract
was awarded the keel of the L. S. S.
Tennessee was laid in an eastern
navy yard, but, as stated, work was
DELAYED on the California. COnstruc-
ton of the Tennessee proceeded and

New Mexico, the distinction of being

Assignment of the contract for its
construction at the Mare Island Navy

Navy Josephus Daniels on January s.,
1915. The estimated cost for hull

WHAT 1T COULD DO.

The er-dreadnought California
could remain eighteen miles off shore
and fire upon city, demolishing it
as the vessel rode completely out OF
sight beneath the horizon of the
ocean.
The power of one broadside is suf-
ficient to hurl six touring cars from
Sandy Hook to New York City.
