REFUGEE CHILDREN OF
FRANCE IN NEED

 

Story To Be Told by an Eye-witness

 

In the first onrush of the war, when
fighting raged about Mons and the Marne
and the Aisne, hundreds of villages of the
French frontier were swept away and the
people left homeless; the suffering of the
refugee children of these villages, whose
families if not killed are often lost from
them, will be described by Mrs. Joseph
Lindon-Smith ex-’97, Friday afternoon at
four o’clock in Taylor. Mrs. Lindon-
Smith came back two months ago from
France, where she went to investigate
the condition of the children on behalf
of the Franco-American Committee for
the Protection of Children of the Frontier.

Mrs. Lindon-Smith’s appeal is not con-
nected with the fund for the “Fatherless
Children of France”, which is in part sup-
ported by the government. In the case of
these children their fathers have been
soldiers killed in battle while those of the
“frontier” children may have been civil-
ians lost in the destruction of their vil-
lages.

Mrs. Lindon-Smith has the distinction
of being the only Christian ever admitted
to a certain Egyptian mosque. The per-
fect recitation of a chapter of the Koran
in Arabic gained her this privilege. Mr.
Joseph Lindon-Smith is well known as
a landscape painter. Some bas-reliefs,
copied by him from the Egyptian, are now
in the Boston Museum.

The four encores demanded of Mr. Ruth

gauge to some extent the charm which
;his voice cast over his listeners; Mrs.
Gibson’s singing and Mr. Brunel’s violin
solos were received enthusiastically. Mr.

Miss Deems Tells What to Do

|FRESHMAN CONCERT SECURES
| GREAT FOLK SINGER

| The only man whom Kreisler ever ac-

lich, basso cantante, will give a song re-
cital of Russian, French, German and
Elizabethan folk songs Saturday night at

8.15 in Taylor. The concert, for the ben-

efit of the Endowment Fund, is under the
auspices of 1920.

Reinhold Warlich, of German family,
began his musical career as a boy in Pe-
trograd, where his fathér was director of
the Czar’s private orchestra. In those

the beginning of the war his hatred of

Prussian imperialism led him to change
his ‘name to de Warlich; since then he
has wished to emphasize his strict neu-
trality by being simply Reinhold Warlich.
At the age of fifteen he had a position as
organist of a large church; later in con-
cert he sang before many of the royalty
of Europe and in Vienna attained success
in opera. This he gave up to become a
“lieder singer’.

When the war came Mr. Warlich was
living with his wife, an American woman,
outside of Paris, but they immediately
turned their villa into a convalescent hos-
pital and he served in the Ambulance
In 1915 Mr. Warlich came to the

T. Howell '18 swam the length of the

pool and shot ‘18’s first goal almost im-|

mediately after the whistle blew. Backed
by A. Newlin, '18’s fullback, she played

a clean aggressive game. At the begin-

ing, E. Dulles ‘17 shot two goals in suc-

cession. T. Howell twice sent the ball
soaring to ‘17's goal, but H. Harris
stopped the ball squarely each time. E.
