The American Red Cross and the

fourteen months service with the
Friends Unit in the vicinity of the
Marne and the Argonne Forest.
THE American and English nurses
of the Unit and the Red Cross" said
Mr.. James at his home today, found
time to organize little classes among the
children of the villages to open to them
the fundamental principles of cleanli-
hess and sanitation.
The villages are the most unsani l..
tary I've seen. The folks live in houses
in the villages and go out to their
fields during the day. But their fields
are far from their houses, and they
must keep their animals near them at
nights. 1t grew to be not an unusual
experience to open the door of the din
ing room of one of these picturesque
houses and step right into the stable.
The nurses and doctors with the
welfare units soon learned that very
little could be taught the older natives
They were used to way of living and
any other way seemed strange and often
comical to them. So the nurses and
doctors begin with the children.
The little classes are very success.
full. The French youngsters soon catch
the spirit Of the effort, much the same
as American youngsters have done fol
some time past. The work among tht
children will continue because tn,

turned from the war, see the wisdom
