Gabrielle Lepeletier lives at the "Farm of the Old Mill" at Blainville in Normandy. Her father was killed in the early days of the great war and she and her two sisters all help the mother to run the farm and to plant, cultivate and harvest the grain. Gabrielle is seven and she has been adopted by the 5th Balloon Company. Thanks to them, she will have a new warm dress next winter and will go to school. She wrote a letter to her god-fathers saying: "Dear Mother takes much pains to tell me about who you are so far away. When I am a little bigger, I shall write a longer letter.

Four year old Madeleine La Cour belongs, for a year at least, to Company "E" of the 101st U.S. Engineer. She thinks they are the best god-fathers in the world for they sent her money for a present, not for a pair of shoes or for a dress or for anything useful, but for a real present, so her mother bought for her with their soldiers' money, a pair of earrings. She had lost those that her soldier father gave her before he was killed in the war and she was very sad. Now Madeleine smiles and says in French baby-talk that she loves her god-fathers.

Raymond Ares (left) and Pierre Lang (right) are refugees from Nancy who have been adopted as mascots by the A.E.F., Raymond by the 656th Aero Squadron, and Pierre by the 101st Machine Gun Battalion. Raymond wrote to his god-fathers that he loves to run and jump and wrestle. He is, by his own profession "very intelligent but a little lazy" and his teaachers call him a "bon petit diable." Happily, not even the war and the loss of his home, and the death of his soldier father could take the "pep" out of him. He is a god son that any A.E.F. organization can be proud of.

Nowadays, Lucien and Yvette Grodidier live at the Colony Nancienne in the old Chateau at Caen. There they can go to school without interruptions; they can play out of doors safely; they are not even waked up anymore by air raids, nor do they have to live half their lives in cellars. Best of all they are "Stars and Stripes Children" with a whole company of American God-fathers to be good to them. Yvette is to have a doll. The last one she had was broken in 1914 when a Boche officer kicked it while she was playing with it in the street of the little town that was a pleasant home till the war brought the Germans and the terror. It is Company L of the 161st U.S. Infantry to whom Yvette writes: "It is my sole wish to make acquaintance with the good people who help us and give them a hearty shake-hand."

Suzanne Paris is a war baby whose father was killed when she was too little to remember him. The men of Company F of the 20th Engineers (Forestry) saw her photograph and decided that anything that looked just like Jeanne would be a good mascot and they promptly annexed her. In the photo she looks unhappy because she thought that the photographer had come to take away her soldier Uncle who was home on permission.

Marius Laurence and Maurice Laurent, war orphans from Nancy, are; the former "filleul" of the 20th Engineers, and the latter, the ward of a Red Cross worker. The boys are great friends and they live in the "Colony Nancienne" at Caen, a colony of some 300 refugee children from Lorraine, who are installed in a Norman Chateau. There the children are safe and well, and there they can go to school almost as if they were at home, for their own teachers came with them out of the war zone, and do not let them forget the traditions or customs of fair Lorraine. The AMERICAN RED CROSS administers the funds of all the children adopted by the American troops

These are all "Stars and Stripes" Children, little French war-orphans, adopted by American soldiers and sailors. They are proud of their lucky chance to be the wards of the Americans and if they are old enough to go to school they work especially hard so that their grandfathers may be well satisfied with them. If they are too small to go to school, they keep busy "mascotting" as hard as they can for their "good God-fathers". This photo shows the group of the "Stars and Stripesers" in the refugee colony at Caen. There, in an old chateau built originally by William the Conqueror, they live in barracks like little soldiers, go to school, march and sing the soldier songs of fair Lorraine which is their home. The Director of the Colonym M. Eugene Schmidt, who is standing in the center of the group, is himself from Lorraine. He has given his only son to France and he loves these fatherless children almost as if they were his own. He says: "tell those American men who have taken an interest in these little waifs of the great war that every heart in France is grateful to them.
