In another hotel I visited the entire staff was composed of women.
An American banker offered his twenty-two polo ponies to the government.

They were refused as not heavy enough.

He did not know that, and supposed he had lost them.

Later he learned from the wife of his trainer, a Frenchwoman, that those employed in his stables at Versailles who had not gone to the front at the approach of the Germans had fled, and that for three weeks his string of twenty-two horses had been fed, groomed, and exercised by the trainer's wife and her two little girls.
To an American it was very gratifying to hear the praise of the French and English for the American ambulance at Neuilly.

It is the outgrowth of the American hospital, and at the start of this war was organized by Mrs.Herrick, wife of our ambassador, and other ladies of the American colony in Paris, and the American doctors.
