PARIS. April 12. — "France is not
going to export any of its war or
phans." satfl Monsieur Alfred C'roi
set. head of the Faculty of Letters ol
the Sorbonne, explaining the partici
pation of Americans in the work ol
the Orphanage of the Armies, of which
he is president. "I know a statement
was published recently to the effect
that 160.000 American families had
offered to adopt the orphans of the
war. The nutnlter was a little exag
gerated. and the word adoption used
in its general sense was misleading.
Orphans of the war so far as it is
possible are to remain in their fami
lies, especially when the mother is
living. Where there are no immedi
ate relatives to take care of them,
they are to he placed in other French
families and ultimately will be cared
for by the state until their majority;
none of them are available for adop
tion under the common acceptation
of the term.
"Most of the Americans who have
• \pressed the desire to participate in
this work understand this point quite
well; in fact in our correspondence
the. majority of the letters from the
United States express the desire that
the children which they agree to sup
port should remain In their families.
The supposition that there are 150,000
American families wanting to take
care of orphans arose, no doubt, from
the fact that we were asked by Ameri
cans as to about how many war or
phans there were needing assistance,
and we put the number at 150,000.
This, of course, does not comprise all
of the w-ar orphans. They were esti
mated recently in a debate in the sen
ate by Senator Jenouvrier at 800,000,
which, of course, included half or
phans, but a great proportion of these
will never beccpne the objects of
charitable work and the exact number
may never be precisely determined.
“Committees have been organized
in. a great many American cities to
receive propositions of families, not
to adopt orphans, but to support them
in their own surroundings for a period
of two years, which is supposed will
go beyond the end of the war, and
carry them to the time when the mea
ures taken by the government for the
care of orphans become effective. All
the people In France connected with
this movement have been deeply
touched by the generous ardour of
Americans in this work. We have
received many thousand letters, the
numbers are Increasing every day,
from families who want to enter into
direct communication with orphans
and start correspondence with them
so as to follow them until such time
as they need no further help.
"The plan of the Orphanage of the
Army is to bring these children up
without making them feel that they
are objects of charity, without with
drawing them from their usual en
vironment except when that environ
ment is bad. We support them In
their own homes w-lth contribution)
of money, clothing, hooks, pending
the organization of official means of
providing for them. We are aided
largely in this work by pupils of tho
public schools. There are about 40,
000 different schools in France, and
the children of each school contribute
their sous for the support of an or
plan.
