American Society for the Relief of French War Orphans

DURING the past few weeks a group of men of national prominence have organized an immense society for the relief of French war orphans. While the endeavor will be directed from this country, there will be a Paris committee working in coöperation. The aim of the new society is nothing less than to raise a fund of $130,000,000, and already the organizers themselves have subscribed more than $125,000. Furthermore, they have pledged themselves to provide the expenses of operation as long as may be necessary during the fifteen years for which the society has been incorporated. The new organization is to be known as the American Society for the Relief of French War Orphans.
