French children find Fairy land. A little letter came recently to Junior Red Cross of America Headquarters to Paris from these two French boys. It was intended for all American school children. From the ruins of Soissons, where they had lived through hardships that brought on symptoms of tuberculosis they were taken to the home of a fisherman's family on the shores of Brittany. Junior Red Cross funds financed this expedition of several hundred children, including these two lads. During three months they will paly and live in the open air, receive nourishing food and milk and have a chance to forget. It seem like fairy land to them and with inborn French politeness they have asked that their thanks be sent across the sea to those children who have not forgotten their lonely, miserable existences

The School Lunch at Ypres. In this Belgium town where some of the bloodiest conflicts of the war occurred, 300 refugee children are fed by America. Here the Red Cross has organized a School Colony, erected barracks for the children to sleep and eat in. A majority of the children are day scholars, returning to their own homes at night. But 120 youngsters live so far into the country that they are taken as boarders. The Red Cross has fitted up comfortable dormitories and the picture shows the refectory at meal-time. Thus America has enabled these children to resume their interrupted school studies this winter
