As a special mark of appreciation of the good devotion of the body or worK ers she represents and of her own zeal in raising more than a million franc? in support of hospitals treating woun ded French soldiers, she was enter tained by three great generals. Her hosts were General Petain, the orig inal defender of Verdun, ueneral Ni- elle, now in command of the Armv of Verdun and General Joffre. At a dinner in the vaults of the Citadel of Verdun toasts to the success of the Allies and to the visitor's health were proposed to the accompaniment of the boom of the big guns, Under the care of the Commander Jean de Pulligny, of the Ministry of Munitions, and recently Chief of the French Engineering Commission to the United States, in an automobile nlaced at her disposition by the French gov ernment, Miss Burke visited practlcai- y the entire front, paying particular attention to the work of the hospitals. She remained in France about a month. Ten days after my arrival I assisted at the opening of a new ward of i'JU beds in the hospital of the Scottish WJomert at Royaumont," she sas 'Ihe ward is called 'Canada' because t was paid for by the Canadian mo..- ey.

Aitnough she knew it in a vat?te way, Miss Burke says that she did not realize the great danger she was in at Verdun as she stood out near the top of the itadel and watched tne battle. Men were falling withm a few hundred yards of her. "It was a bit thrilling," she said, ''especially to see the bie- shells 'rone-h-wmvla' trom Krupps, as the officers referred to them, falling on various sides. l do not retain 'impressions' of anv of tnem individually, but one burst some 200 yards away from where we stooa it was a big one.
