Saving the Hope of Belgium. The men and women who are in what remains of Free Belgium are busy all day mending the clothes of soldiers who are at rest immediately back of the line. While these women work the American Red Cross, through the Commission for Belgium, help to care for these little children. This work is conducted under the direction of Madame Rollin-Hymans, the sister of the Minister of Finance. She is standing next to the extreme right wearing a dark felt hat
