Constantly within the soimd of the j cannon with German airplanes flying overhead, living and working under : conditinos unequally difficulty hi the I world's history, these eighteen young women have undertaken a task that 'ntitut.es one of the highest tributes j . a v-. n omnnhood andAmeriean all i ui-r :!i u Hi - war has produced. college have taken over, harbor a popu lation of about 1,200. Yet so thorough was the German devastation that it can literally be said that none of these people have a roof over their heads at least a house roof. They live for the most part in cellars, in barns or in shed which were not of enough im portaWe to attact the German genius of destruction. But for the portable houses they brought with them, and barracks given them later by the French 'military authorities, the eigh teen girls would fare but little better. The address of the Unit looks very impressive In print, as it is the name hof one of the largest and most beauti ful chatea us in the devastated district. J As a matter of fact the chateau is a mere blackened ruin and it is the park which the girls inhabit, their lodgings Wilson always handles. The main en trance is tiled.
