French territory are forced Into Il
legitimate motherhood by the Gr
man soldiers, she said.
"A large number of women are re
turned by the German authorities
from the occupied provinces to th
north of the line, via Bai£!lum, Ger
many and Switzerland, back Into
France through Bvian. But no
healthy woman of child-bearing age
is permitted to return unless she has
more than one child. A strong, young
woman has a labor value beyond
that required for the care of one
child, and, in addition to this service,
the above rule operates to prevent
most of the children born to young
French and Belgian women by Ger
man fathers from being returned
home."
Dr. Lovejoy was sent to France
last June by the Medical Women's
National Association to make a gen
eral survey regarding conditions af
fectirtg women and to determine
what relief iVork American women
physicians could do in the war
stricken country.
She declared the need for Amer
ican women physicians in the ma
ternity field in France is not urgent,
as this service is performed by mid
wives. Owing to the absence of men
from home and the use of women in
munitions factories and other indus
tries, the birth rate in France has
fallen approximately to one-half of
what it was before the war, she
said.
Dr. Lovejoy declared that the care
of refugees poured into France from
the invaded territories by the Ger
mans is one of the most difficult
problems France now faces. There
are approximately 1,200,000 refugees,
most of them infirm aged people or
ill-nourished children, many suffer
ing with skin and eye diseases and
infested with vermin, as the result
of German prison camps.
"Those refugees are of no military
value," she continued. "They are the
military culls, the discarded, the de
spised and rejected. They are a bur
den to a nation at war and, there
fore, they are robbed of their homes
in Northern France and sent to
Southern France, where they become
a charge upon the overbturdened
French government.
"France has fought the hardest
part of the war and has been the
buffer between the Ungltsh-spe&kinc
peoples and the arch enemy cf their
institutions. With the coming of the
American Army and the American
Red Cross the burden has been lifted
just a little. A great deal has been
done, but In this land of widows and
orphans and blind and mutilated m4n
there is still a lot to be done before
we can lift up our hears as a people
, conscious of having dme our full
I duty.
"Infant mortality is very great, 'be
cause it is impossible to get milk, for
infants, and tuberculosis is very
prevalent. The Red Cross 1 helping
along all these lines, and a very
promising part of the work Ms its
educational campaign. >
