FRIENDS RELIEF WORK IN FRANCE IS DESCRIBED

Quaker College Head Tells of Service Rendered in the War Zone. (By W. W. Comfort, President of Haverford College) Many persons are Interested directly In the work that Is being undertaken In France and in Russia by members of the Society cf Friends. Times of war have always presented to the members of this peace-loving society the problem of performing the duty of patriotic citizens, while at the same time preserving Intact the time-honored attitude toward war which has been distinctive of their society since its foundation In tho seventeenth century. In 1915 London yearly meeting plainly restated the official attitude of the society toward all war, and In 1917 the representatives of the five years meeting, held at Richmond. Ind.. restated the same position in different terms. Many Have Felt Free. There have been very many individual Friends who have felt free to bear arms in this war as in previous wars. It was to be expected that, given the high alms of the United States In Joining the allies, many young Friends should feel desirous of taking part in

what was proclaimed as a crusade In favor of 'a cause In which all believed. The official attitude of Quakers, both In the British Isles, and In the United States, however,, has found its most characteristic expression in the reconstruction work, which was undertaken promptly by English Friends, who began their work in France as early as November, 1914. A large representative committee In London has undertaken the effective direction of this work. A very large sum of money has been raised, and great quantities of necessary goods and raw materials have been forwarded through the ware houses of the committee In London and In Paris. The work has been undertaken exclusively among the civilian population in the territory devastated in the battle of the Marne in 1914. This district stretches directly east of Paris, between Chalons and the neighborhood of Bar-le-duc, back of Verdun. Relief Work Required. The relief work which was required most urgently was the providing of portable houses in quantities of several hundreds for families which were left without a roof over their head. In some places it was possible to use the stone and mortar lying at hand In reconstructing the dwellings. Live stock

and agricultural implements have been provided in large numbers to a population which was largely agricultural In its interest before the war The necefsasy furniture and living necessities have been provided at cost price for the portable houses of one, two, or three rooms, which have been built by the society's workers. Added to these physical requirements were the medical and surgical attention provided by the society's doctors, surgeons and trained nurses at a variety of centers in this territory occupied. This medical work began with the prompt establishment of a maternity hospital at Chalons, and now includes several dispensaries, hospitals, orphanages and sanatoriums for victims of tuberculosis. Some pare has also been played In forwarding and settling the thousands of refugees who have been repatriated through Switzerland, who constitute one of the most difficult social problems at the present time. After the United States Joined in the war, the Quakers in the United States, numbering more than 100,000, felt that they could no longer confine themselves to forwarding money to London, but. must engage themselves personally in this work. This they did Just a year ago, and during the last year there have gona from our country about 250 men and women workers to France, supported by contributions which have now risen to more than $500,000. The effective and practical nature of the Friends' work received Its highest approval from the American Red Cross, which now also is working on the civilian problem in France. It will be readily understood that France itself is unable to take care adequately at the present time of these numerous homeless families without help and" support from her allies. Moral Support Is Chief. The Friends feel that the deeper significance of their work lies not in the temporary physical nature of their assistance, but in the moral support and eympathy which they as foreigners are extending to the civilian populations with which they come in very intimate contact Thero is abundant proof that this may lend not only to a very cordial international understanding, but

to a very deep-rooted sentiment of affection and good will. Such Is the hope of the Society of Friends, and on this theory It pursues Its Interesting work. After the utility of the work in France had been demonstrated, a similar enterprise on a smaller scale was undertaken in the province of Samara in Russia. In this remote province north of the Caspian sea, a small unit of less than a score of men and women have been working for two years and a half. .The refugee problem in Russia is stupendous, and may remain of difficult solution for a long time to come. With the disbanding of the Russian armies, the men of these refugee families have, of course, begun to return, and this has constituted a new feature of the problem which la engaging attention at present. May Prove Invaluable. If. as some hope, the United States government undertakes, through the American Red Cross, the relief of the Russian civil population on a much larger scale, It may prove that the work of these Quakers has been an Invaluable start. Their experience in the field and their acquaintance with the difficult character of the Russian peasant will prove invaluable to those who follow them. Thus, it has been that the Society of Friends with their somewhat peculiar tenets regarding war have thrown themselves with consecration Into- a feature of war with which they feel the deepest sympathy. In the presence of all the necessarily destructive forces at work today, there may be some who sympathize with the constructive work of the Friends and who share their belief in the permanent value of international sympathy and good will, thus tangibly expressed. Properly qualified social and medical workers are invited to communicate with the American Friends' service committee at 20 South Twelfth street, Philadelphia, Pa. Contributions toward this work may be made payable to Charles F. Jenkins, treasurer, at the same address.
