We found Its population considerably swelled by thousands . of girls who. had -come up there, for the vacations; and, because or CBS uprisings, were unable to get back Be.V;They could hear nothing- from their-relatives, they were without funds also, and their grief was heart break ing. ; We provided places for these girls to stay and as soon as the allied troops arrived many of them were (Riven em ployment In the government offices, where they were paid partly In money and partly in rations. We did not re alize just what we had meant to these girls until we left, and a more tearful lot I never saw. ."Food was, and of course still is, the great problem.

There were practically no young men or boys left.-they had either been taken prison ers or killed. Both women and Children had been outraged unspeakably, and ac cording to reports the Bolshevik! took especial delight in abusing young chil dren In the , presence of their mothers. "The great hope Was that" toe; allies would not withdraw, but when they did finally ge they left the natives supplied with provisions and ammunition and "I happen to know that many of the girls whom we had sheltered and cared for. provided themselves- with nr. arms- or with poison with which they proposed to destroy themselves rather than be taken by the Bolshevlkl. - - " v , '"While I -was stationed at Brest 1000 French brides of American soldiers passed ? through our hands.
