Refugees Flock to Paris.
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.
