Two men were killed and one injured when this building, the headquarters of the Friends' Am. Unit at ... was "done in" by German bombs. A representative of the A.R.C. floor of this house he came down on top of the debris, and was not injured. The Friends' Am. Unit to which the R.C. gives regular financial aid, has worked with the R.C. in its work of reliving the suffering among refugees driven out of the shelled portion of Belgium. The work of the Friends' Am. Unit did not stop a minute because of the bombing of its headquarters. It moved into a house next door to the one that had been hit by shells from the land, shells from the sea, and bombs from the sky, and was, still is, as active as ever in affording relief to the stricken people
