PARIS—Carrying their little bun
dles of household possesions, the
French refugees are returning to
their homes in Chateau Thierry and
the little French villages around it,
to V aux, Nancy, Belleau and the
rest, places now a part of American
history.
They are coming back to ruins of
villages and houses demolished by
German or American artillery, to
live in cellars and in the shelter of
tottering walls until they can re
build their homes and their return
is a pitiful snectacle.
Sometimes they find no home at
all. Never do they find any furni
ture. Often they find no food, and
then the American Red Cross steps
in and helps them. The woman who
can dig out her stove from a heap
of dirt and plaster and patch it up
again so that it will burn counts
herself inordinately lucky. One
' woman found remaining of all her
household goods just one big salt
cellar. Forks are worth their weight
in gold- and a feather bed is prized
above rubies. Five thousand, five
hundred blankets the Red Cross
; shipped out to returning refugees
in a single week.
The people in the Aisne will not
be able to spend the winter in their
own villages. The villages on the
banks of the little Marne are too
utterly battered by shells to afford
human hibitations during the winter
weather. While days were warm and
: skies blue, their owners could find
some tiny corner or other to live
in, but the rain and mud and chilly
damp of a French winter drove
them back to their temporary homes
1 in the uninvaded provinces to wait
for spring.
One purpose in sending them home
1 so quickly was to harvest the wheat
crops but there was no food, so the
Red Cross established canteens in
many villages and served two meals
a day free to those too poor to pay
while others paid small sums. Forty
carloads of food were sent to the
Marne and the Aisne in a single
month. A grocery store has been
opened in Chateau Thierry which al
ready is a busy town again, though
the walls of its houses have been
shattered and torn by shells. To
keep intruders out the residents
scrawl on their homes in chalk "Pro
prietor returned” or "House occu
pied.”
Rollinsr store? on trucks tour thru
the villages in the valleys of the
Oise and Aisne to supply the re
turning refugees with food, cloth
ing and household utensils. De
mands come for coffee mills, scrub
bing brushes, pails, knives, forks,
spoons and pots for the people tak
ing up housekeeping again as liter
ally all that they left behind them
when they fled has been destroyed
or carried away to Germany.
To Amiens the refugees are re
turning, and they find the Red Cross
ready to receive them. There is a
big building in Amiens that was a
boys’ school in those half-forgotten
days when the ity was not under
shell fire. It belongs to the Red
Cross *ow, and its class rooms are
turned into strange uses. There is
a big “salle de reception ” where
the returning refugees are sorted
out and their needs ascertained.
There is a canteen that serves two
hot, nourishing meals a day. There
is a long dormitory with beds for
the weary ones who come back to
find empty rooms and roofless
houses. There are two dispensaries,
and dispensary doctors find much
to do ina country where people live
precarious, hand-to-mouth existences.
The Red Cross workers furnish
clothing to the shivering shabby
people, warm flannel shirts and un
derwear, stockings and shoes and
sabots. Twelve thousand garments
went out from Paris in a single day.
And they furnish work for the
people, who must have a little money
if they are to live.
They have an extraordinary way,
those Picary peasants, of accepting
facts. They go back to live under
impossible conditions as if it were
the most natural thing in the world.
It never occurs to them to do any
thing else. There may be only one
wall of a house left but it is home.
“There are few ways in which
American resource and energy can
be better employed than in strength
ening a philosophy and courage like
that,” says one Red Cross worker.

HORSE HIDES IN USE
FOR SOLDIERS' GLOVES
hi. PASO, Tex.—Horse-hide is in
such great demand for making gloves
for soldiers overseas, all available
horses in the army camps here are
bought by hide dealers. The im
porters of hides from Mexico are
also buying quantities of horsehides
for the same use. A local hide
buyer said the horse hide was the
only substitute for pig skin, which,
is too scarce to supply even a small j
part of the army glove demand, j
The reason the horse hide is the j
best for gloves', next to pig skin, is I
because water does not stiffen this1
leather and a good rubbing after!
the gloves made from horsehide
have been wet makes them as soft
and pliable as when first issued.
