CONFERS WITH LEADERS Conditions in France Are Described By Winnetka Woman. The following letter from Dr. Alice Barlow-Brown explains why she cabled to Winnetka asking for funds to assist in the 'war work she is do- ing in France. The people of Win- netka responded nobly and answered her request by sending $5,000, which was donated by residents of the wil- lage. Paris, France, Sept. 12, 1917. Dear A : This morning, after a serious coun- cil with Dr. Lucas of the Red Cross, who has in his charge the care of the children of France, and Mrs. Benj. G. Lathrop, the head of the in Paris, who, with her co-workers, have done such efficient work here, and so quickly, I sent the urgent cable. They are sending us to Toul, where there are 450 children who are in great need; some have tuberculosis-- all are full of vermin--many are fatherless. Their mothers work from four in the morning until dark, while the babies suffer for proper food. We are going to take charge and equip a small infirmary at Toul There we shall need the Sord Camio- nette to take these children from the congested places where they are hud- dled, to the hospital; for they are too | weak to go by themselves--worn out trying t oearn a living by breaking stones to build roads--and have been sleeping on straw in sheds. The need for physicians and nurses to care for the children is very great. There is one town near, with a popu- lation of seven thousand, without one physician. The need of clothes, too, is beyond comprehension, as it is also for the necessary food. That is why we cabled for five thousand. The Ford Camionetted costs 6,000 francs ($1,200.00) if bought here now through the Red Cross; otherwise, all the Ford cars are commandeered by the military. If it was sent from America, it would not reach us for three months and would limit our usefulness. our permits to go into, Yxen Wr 132186, for the government is overwhelmed with work and it kee HAR Nine childgenpigittleds gine cage from Ver dnd odo isi bf their © Bihan to find. ho TH by bait chit dR ABH Tho Bie lastingk 0d somnemanill shdieane, ttatlised teh 1 AR [iB EF1nthiH a Hoi! wrung your heart st pr see th pitiful little pRICE 0 A ative bids org ile AA fed ham #13581 a" £5. .on with Slight r 22181 5 oeohigp mh ©? hppeitoh anes sab ie id iwe tban ob uhh bg opskad, frequen RY end ait, 1b Sic ERACRAR of 25d BS¥ad 0 ral dited Pigg 15s b ha theap, sthe the org Rn 2 tin INR Gi adil be aif- Lfesgdnsa1oueh 1Eb air Ared es very great; when I ety in he dis- trict proper I will Shen Bde fore fully of conditfon?¥ tfier®.

We are very eager to be off! We three may be separated ahd sent to different sections, but we hope not --for we think we can do more effi- cient work together. Our crossing was full of interest. We had aboard the Serbian Commis- sion, canteen workers of the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. secretaries, Syra- cuse ambulance young men, friends reconstruction work (portable houses, etc.), for the devastated areas. Jour- nalists also--Mr. Winston Churchill was one, and Mr. Paul U. Kellogg, of the Survey. We steamed out of New o'clock on Wednesday, October 24. (Continued on page four) American Fund for French Wounded - We are waiting now for:
