The girls are lost to France forever. "Men may be, defeated, but they are not conquered. Women through the strongest of all human emotions and attributes, the mother instinct, can be conquered, and the Germans know this. So they -.keep the''girls over 16 with the mothers of but one child for. their 'military value' as mothers to the next German army: "The rest of the children come back through Evian; thirteen thou- sand and more of themcamethrough while I was there. Once there was a whole orphan asylum, carloads of children sent through alone. Life in Occupied France. Their Lives Are Stunted, Dwarfed, Blasted, Says U. S. Red Cross Worker in France: "Can you imagine anything more pitiful than the lives of children who have never known anything but war? Is there anywhere on God's green earth a more dreadful tragedy than the tragedy of a blighted childhood? "ie most 'wonderful thing to me in America is to see little children run- ning about, happy and unafraid. "I have spent six months in the nearest approach to hell that exists, I believe, in or out of the teachings of the theologians -the hell where ba- bies are born to hear the sound of bursting shells as their introduction to this world of ours, where little ones learn their mother tongue only fur- tively and in whispers, where children must learn_to wear their little gas masks as soon as they learn to walk,. where suspicion and fear rule and love and confidence are not. "What do we in America know about war? We cannot begin to sense "We piece together the picture of the life of these little ones inside the German lines from the stories they tell, they and their elders, but. more from the look in their faces when they find themselves in a world where the sound of guns is a long way off and where, wonder of won- ders, people actually speak French aloud without first looking around to see if the Bodies are. listening. "For the strongest impression one gathers from the repatriated of the life of the native civilian in the strange No Man's Land behind the German front is of a country where the people's civil/another tongue ..i s 'verboten,' but" where nevertheless they all speak, it and teach it to their little ones; a land where little children are taught from infancy to . be sly and deceitful, to do furtively and by tealth the things that are their pro- per birthright but which are `ver- ihoten' by the oppressor; above all, a land where hatred is sucked in with the mother's milk, where every stran- ger is an enemy to be feared, where the awful threat, 'if you don't be- have the Bache will get you is not what it means so long as our children the invoking , of a story -book bogey play. I know what war is, for I have man but a real, life and death terror, just' come back from the land where I tangible, present, always lurking in. the children have never learned to play." When Dr. Esther Lovejoy went over to France she found the Ameri- can Red Crass had just established its children's bureau, joined the staff of that organization; and ' as the. medical member of the Red Cross de- tachment went etachmentwent to Evian-les-Bains, the gateway through which Germany. pours back into France the old and the infirm, the meimed, the halt and the blind, all who, found in the invad- ed'zone have no military or labor value -and the little children. Germans Keep Many of Then/. "Not all the little children," said Dr. Lovejoy, "for there are many whom the Germans keep inside their own lines. "In the French territory occupied by the German armies' there were, be- fore the war began, more than 6,000,- 000 people. Not more than 350,000 of these have been sent back through Switzerland into France or returned through other routes. Many of them were young girls, just rounding the coiner <tato welmanhood. Germans Bend back boys under 14, for the older boys can work. They keep all girls. over 16 or who look as if they were over 16.

That is the sickening first evidence we get. at Eviant of their stunted, dwarfed, blasted little lives. "There has been no chance -to play over where they carne from; play was dangerous; it might annoy the Boche. Besides, children play in- stinctively only when they are happy, and these children, born in sorrow and unhappiness, have never been happy in their lives. Think of it, that there are thousands and tens of thousands. of littleechildren in . France, sunny, smiling France, 'who have never been °happy, who do not know what happi- ness means!' "It is not only mentally that these children show the effects of their environment from birth. All have suffered a war, blight; they are under- sized, ill nourished and subject'to all sorts of diseases. •o -w-- a--rr•- q e o :.

"One of the most pathetic sights is 'to see the older., children, those who remember France as it was before the war, when they get to Evian, back . into France once more, where they can run about and play and sing and shout as they Used to do. They are shy and awkward about it at first, but they soon recover their spirits and gayety. tir "But the little ones, those born be- hind the German lines or who were not old enough to walk and talk when the war began—to see them watch the others is heart breaking. Their the first emotion is fear—feartthat Boche will seize them for speaking in French aloud. °'` L "They have all been taught French, these tiniest ones. ' They even have little French songs that they have learned to sing under their breath. "But of French as a language to be spoken aloud, sung' at the top of one's voice, shouted as one romps an the open; they have no conception. Romping and .games mean nothing to them; they cling to the skirts of their elders and shiver with fear; it takes a long time to make them under- stand that they are free at last. "They never will be truly free, e reatra 'e All little . these stunted p their' lives the shadow of these early years will hang over them.

Massage this fragrant, creamy lotion daily into .the face, neck, :arms and hands and just see how freckles, tan, sallowness, redness and roughness disappear and how smooth, soft and clear. the skin becomes.

"My brother wrote me about a: din- ner some of the soldiers gave for two visitors at camp, members of a fam- ous Canadian regiment, who were home on sick leave. The sergeant had been carefully coached about giving the' toast, but became flustered, and this is what he made of it: "Here's to the gallant Eighth, last on the field and first to leave it." Silence reigned; then the corporal came gallantly to the rescue: "Gentlemen," he began, "you must excuse the sergeant; he never could give a toast decently; he isn't used to public speaking.
