I Ail friends of France and all, wbo In the midst of Christmas giving, think with comiMisslon of the women and little children wbo are suffering BO sorely in war-ecricken France are urged to help, according to their means, by sending contributions of money or clothing to Mrs. Whitney WajTen, No. 16 East 47th street. New York City. Everything that la re¬ ceived will be distributed by tbe "Se- cours National," whicb is directed by Gabriel Hanotauz, Cardinal Amette, Alexandre Rlbot and others under the distinguished patronage ot the Presi¬ dent of the French Republic.
The American committee consists of Mrs. Frederick H. Allen, Mrs. Rob-| crt Baoon. Mrs. W. Bayard Cutting, Mrs. F. Oray Oriswold, Mrs. WUliam Greenough. Mrs. J. F. D. Lanier. Mrs. Walter Maynard, Mrs. Ogden Mills, Mrs. Francis K. Pendleton, Mrs. Na¬ thaniel Thayer, Mrs. Whitney Warren, Mrs. Harry P. Whitney, Charles B. Alexander, Frederick H. Allen, Charles Dana Gibson, Eliot Gregory, McDougall Hawkes, Donald Harper, Frederick A. Juilllard, Hon. George B. McClellan, General Horace Porter, T. Tileston Wells and Lloyd Warren.
All contributions of money are spent in the United States and the .supplies purchased are then forward¬
ed without cost There are no" ad¬ ministrative or other expenses deduct¬ ed from the contributions. All that you give goes to those whom you wish to befriend. All expenses are bome by the committee. In this re¬ spect this charity is unique.
No matter how smau your contri¬ bution may be, it will be gratefully received. Six cents will provide a meal. In Paris alone, the "Secours National" furnishes 100,000 meals a day to those who would otherwise starve. Tbeir agents rislt tbe war- devastated zones, see the Mayors, ver¬ ify tbe needs, buy the merchandise, in the cheapest markets and forward It for distribution.

For those who wish to give for the comfort ot the soldiers all honor is due, but this fund is only tor the heiv less women and children who, after all is said and done, bear the brunt of the burden.
It seems needless to recall the an¬ cient friendship of France and the United States. It is a story familiar to every school child.
The misery of want, the agony of starvation, the terrors of the cold are the most potent appeals. If you have given to other funds, give again, even
