The streets are filled with furniture and articles of all kinds. The stained glass windows in the Church of St. Peter have been smashed and the great organ has been broken up. Religious ornaments were found scattered about the floor of the church. The City Hall where the German commandant had his quarters, was pillaged 'and sacked.

Most of the paintings in the museum were taken away, but fortunately the belfry was undamaged. The material losses are incalculable.

Many who have been saved are now being sheltered and trained for future usefulness at the Chateau de Chavaniac, birthplace of Laf iyette, In the beautiful and peaceful Province of Auvergne in Southern France. ACROSS the sea, at the Chauteau de Chavaniac, birfhplace of the Marquis de Lafayette, In the peaceful and picturesque Province of Auvergne, Americans are caring for little children of France who have been made orphans and refugees by the war. There is something big and wonderful in the sentiment that inspired the undertaking.

It bespeaks grateful American acknowledgment of a debt at long standing and one that would be very difficult to cancel. The work is being fostered and supported by a group of Americans under the name of the French Heroes Lafayette Mermorial Fund, of 2 West Forty fifth Street, New York City. It had its beginning something like three years ago, when the fact became known that the historic home of the great French patriot and friend of America was on the niarket. The present Committee, then known as the French Heroes Fund, was giving aid in various ways to France's war sufferers. At tire Committee's heart were Mrs.

William Astor Chanler and John Moffat, prominent then and now in American relief for war victims in the countries of the Allies. By their personal efforts sufficient funds were se cured through private subscriptions to purchase the Chateau de Chavaniac. Plans were formulated and submitted to the French Government which gave its hearty endorsement to the undertaking and guaranteed its co operation in certain important ways. The plans, all of which have been realized, have resulted in a home and school for the care and training of France's orphans, being built on grounds adjacent to the Chateau, and the establishment of a sanatorium several miles distant, where delicate and sickly children will receive the best of medical attention. The French Government is to supply teachers who will co operate with American instructors, and the children are to be taught both French and English.

Tlie Chateau itself, now used to house little refugees, will be converted eventually into a museum and hall of records pertaining to French and American history. When the boys from the school have reached the age of eighteen years they are to be sent to the United States, where certain philanthropic individuals and institutions are to give them a three year course of training 1n American business and porfessional methods. The boys will be pledged to return then to France to give their ov. i country the benefit of what they have learned.

DOUAI IS LAID ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS rCan Buy Extra Fares 1RaiIroai farnmgi Jamp, PU T.vt I Due to High Kates, CHILDREN'S DORMITORY IN LAFAYETTE'S BIRTHPLACE Thousands of little children vrere caught In the tide of war and suffered most because they were not as well prepared physicially or mentally as those of mature years to stand the perils and privations caused by German "kulture." Thousands of little outcasts had to flee for their lives. Roads, fields and forests of battle torn France were overrun with refugees, vast numbers of whom were children. Many were separated from their parents, some had seen their mothers killed, others showed effects of German wounds and gas poison, while still others were HI from exposure and hardship.

All were terror stricken and helpless. Under the direction of John Moffat, Executive Chairman of the 'Fund, appeals were made to Americans for contributions to aid the necessary rescue America and Her Allies Demand Germany's Complete Surrender Washington, Oct. 21. The fright and that an effort will be made to ful desolation which has character carry the war through this winter in ized the retreat of the Germans in the hope that some cause will di Northern Belgium and France makes even more determined the purpose of the United States and our Allies to exact retribution. "Unconditional surrender" and just punishment is the concrete expression of public opinion.

Nothing less than the unqualified surrender of Germany will be Acceptable to 'President Wilson. The President has not only laid down terms of peace, but also conditions precedent to the taking of any steps toward their application. He insists on the destruction of the arbitrary power of the Hohenzollerns and the present autocratic powers vested in the German government. armistice will be granted unless Germany is ready to give the guarantees and safeguards to be imposed by Marshal Foch and the Allied military advisers. It can be stated without reservation or qualification that there must be complete surrender by Germany to these terms and conditions, and if the Berlin authorities are not now ready to capitulate to the demands of President Wilson, he is quite wilK ing to wait until he and the Allies do obtain what they want.

The President is fully convinced that a complete victory can and will be won by force of arms. He is confident that only a political mistake could nullify the present military and moral superiority of the Allies. Those best qualified to know the President's attitude assert that he is absolutely on his guard and does not propose to be euchred (by German diplomacy or trickery. The President knows exactly what he wants. He has told the Jerman government and people what they must do.

His attitude is one in which he will yield nothing, bargain or compromise nothing, but insist on absolute surrender to the terms laid down and to the conditions and guarantees, to be imposed. HOLLOW PRKTEXSTOXS OF hKRMX PEACE TALK London, Oct, 21. "The Amsterdam forecast of the German reply to President Wilson," says the Chronicle, Vis considered to. contain the main elements of Germany's reply, otherwise it is difficult to sup pose that it would have passed the censor. Morepver, it responds in its general lines to expectation on the It was Supposed that, Germany would merely talk for the sake of gaining time whereby her troops might reach new defensive positions.

"The most casual examination of the supposed concessions show how. hollow they are. The statement tnai Germany is willing to evacuate Belgium, but that the operation would take months, is characteristic. It shows that there is no real acceptance of the Entente stipulation that an armistice must be treated as a military measure and, therefore, left in the hands of Marshal Foch. The suggestion is that the Germans should retire at leisure, whereas, of course, the first principle of any armistice is disarmament of the enemy.

"The old argument about boat warfare, being on a par with the blockade, is scarcely worthy of cbm ment The sinking of merchant ships without placing their crews in a place of safety is barbarity, as defined by maritime law. As to the provision to stop the ruthless use of submarines, it corresponds an odd coincidence with the loss of the boat baaes on the Flanders coast "If the published, terms are approximately exact they show that vide the Allies and improve the German position in regard to peace in the meantime. There will be no acceptance of an armistice on Entente lines until Prussia fear's invasion, therefore the time of the German 'conversion' will doubtless coincide with our renewed and enlarge successes, and will not be before then. "Peace is not advanced one inch by this reply." Telephone Rates to Stay as They Are For Present Washington. It is not the purpose of the Government officials in charge of the telegraph and telephone systems to increase telephone rates unless unexpected conditions arise.

A partial investigation has convinced the Post Office Department that an increase is not necessary. It was pointed out th'at there will be some readjustments here and there, and in the end local rates may be changed, but no general increases recommended. There is promise, it was also asserted, of improved service. In Washington and a few other busy centers the task of procuring and keeping telephone operators is a hard one. This condition may be met with an increase in pay.

Leather, is so scarce nowadays that boots and shoes have become "objects of value" to be left in custody of the hotel manager.

TEACHTNG CHILDREN REFUGEES TO FORGET THE WAR "work. Responses were gen erous, and the golden message that Americans sent to France has saved and comforted many little children there. The urgency of the work could not be too strongly emphasized. These children are France's men and women of tomorrow, upon whom will rest the responsibilities of state, the guidance and upbuilding of the nation. The children are now in the formative stage and must develop for good or bad, for strength or weakness.

Many have been rescued, and the work still goes on. Groups of them are now at Lafayette's birthplace. Can you picture what the transition meass to these pitiful waifs, many of whom were little more than babies? Wholesome food, and plenty of it, Instead of hunger clean and comfortable clothes instead of rags; green fields, flowers and a wealth of sunshine Instead of dart, damp cellars, wrecked homes and devastated lands the music of birds and the whisper of trees Instead of the deadly shriek of exploding shells of German manufac turn The wofk has been placed on a systematic basis by the Paris Committee, A large house has been equipped in Paris where the refugees are taken and properly cared for until they can be Sent with safe escort to the Chateau de Chavaniac, Many of the war victims were on the verge of mental dis traction, and it required time to obliterate the recollection of the horrors they had endured. Realizing that this Is a work far reaching now, and a 'work that must be kept up in the years to come, the French Heroes Lafayette Memorial Fund, has recently extended its usefulness by establishing close co operation with eight of the best known relief organizations for children and other helpless refugees in France. This committee pledges itself to care for a stipulated number of children rescued by the organization.

These numbers may be increased as rapidly as funds from America are available. Many of the foremost men and women of France are closely identified with these committees. Collectively they represent the opinion of all France Catholic, Protestant, Government and Labor." This is America's opportunity to render a real service to France. Just as France fought for this country more than a century ago, so do Americans fight today for France to safeguard honor and maintain liberty, to preserve the same faith, idea Is and traditions. Gratitude and duty are two of many good reasons why our people should enter heart and soul into the work and why every loyal American of red blood and grateful nature should regard it as a privilege to be allowed to help the suffering little of France.

Funds are still ne.eded to support this American work for France. Appeals are still being made to Americans. Contributions should be sent to James A. Blair, Jr Treasurer, French Heroes Lafayette Memorial Fund, Ina, 2 West 45th Street, New York City. Paris Celebrates by Launching New Loan Parln, Oct.
