Marius, Andre, and Lucien have a name that is as French as Liberte, Egalite, Fraternity, if it comes from Alsace. Their name is Schiffenecker. They were driven away from their home near Nancy by Boche shells, and their father fought and died for France at Verdun. They too will be French men when they grow up, and French men with strong American leanings, for they are all "Stars and Stripes Children," mascots for the Aero Squadron. You can see by the smile that Lucien is busy "mascotting". The American Red Cross administers the funds for the maintenance of all the children adopted by the American troops

Comparison of Ages: Four Portuguese boys in front of home of Antone Mello, 26 County St. Boy on the left end (tallest) is a school boy. Said 13 years old. Boy on right end (shortest) is a school boy said 12 years old. Between them are: Jo Viera, sais[sic] 15 years, and Antone Mello, said 14 years. Both have been cleaning in Kilburn Mill for 2 years, in #1 spinning room. Both from "the Islands" a few years ago. Antone is very illiterate, spoke almost no English, could hardly write his name. I asked the tallest boy how Antone could be in the mill. He said they lie about their ages. If I came from the Islands, I could fool them about my age too and go in the mill. He said the priests fixed it up.  Location: New Bedford, Massachusetts.
