With the Allies

CHAPTER VII
9/11

The number of Englishwomen who have left their homes that the Red Cross may have the use of them for the wounded would fill a long roll of honor.

Some give an entire house, like Mrs.Waldorf Astor, who has loaned to the wounded Cliveden, one of the best-known and most beautiful places on the Thames.

Others can give only a room.
But all over England the convalescents have been billeted in private houses and made nobly welcome.
Even the children of England are helping.

The Boy Scouts, one of the most remarkable developments of this decade, has in this war scored a triumph of organization.

This is equally true of the Boy Scouts in Belgium and France.
