Advices just received by Red Cross officials are to the effect that folks driven from northern France during the past four years are today flocking through Paris from all quarters—en route to what is left of home. Car- ing for Yel) as they pass rough, ar- ranging transpo on, supplying nested clothing, food and the ke, is taxing French government officials. The American Red Cross, especially equip for refugee relief, has been called upon and is aiding in the work. Free railroad passage and every ac- commodation is placed at their dis- sal. Suitable quarters, too, are be- ing provided to house them during the few days necessary for the vise of papers and permits and other es- sential business. The refugees, for the most part unfamiliar with Paris, are met at the station by French gov- ernment agents. Big gray camions take them direct to the refugee com- munity set up at Saint Sulpice. There American Cross work- ers and American doctors work side by side with the French attendants in making things as comfortable and cheery as possible. Clean beds, hot meals, warm clothing and sympathy in full measure greet them. Refugee children play in a sunny garden set apart for them, watched over by Red Cross nurses; and doctors and attend- ants do what may be done for those who are weary and ill. Just out from Paris, too, there is maintained a health farm for refugee children in need of fresh air, fresh milk and fresh eggs. Despite their hardships, the greatest concern of these afflicted folk is what they are going to find when they get back. New Advertisements.
