Adventures and Letters

CHAPTER XIX
69/154

Now, as in 1776 we fought, to-day France fights for freedom, and in behalf of all the world, against militarism that is 'made in Germany.' "Her men are in the trenches; her women are working in the fields, sweeping the Paris boulevards, lighting the street lamps.

They are undaunted, independent, magnificently capable.

They ask no charity.
But from those districts the war has wrecked, there are hundreds of thousands of women and little children without work, shelter or food.
To them throughout the war zone the Secours National gives instant relief.

In one day in Paris alone it provides 80,000 free meals.

Six cents pays for one of these meals.
