NEW YORK Feb. .-How Ameri
can women of wealth and refinement
are performing the most menial tasks
and undergoing sever hardships to
make the lot of the French soldier
easier on the way to and from the
front is told graphically in a series
of letters received here from Mrs.
Belmont Tiffany, a New York society
n lonilcr tt tho Red CtOSS
work who orranlxed a Red Cross
canteen at a French railway Junc
tion. She wrote with no thought uf
publication but the letters, written
to ; relatives and released for pub
lication today by the American Red
Cross, tell their own story.
On October 25 lat. Mrs. Tiffany
arrived at the railroad center, "some
where" behind the French front
Four railroads converged there, she
found, and more than 3.000 men a
day stopped over at the station for
refreshments, which were procur
able in liquid form only. There were
no other facilities for their comfort.
'I wish you could see our little
village, so tiny and primitive, one
long street, winding up a bill with
the bir Junction railroad station at
the bottom and the church at the
top, and a stream, winding under a
bridge half way up, a stream which
allows the Inevitable laundry to go
on," Mrs. Tiffany wrote. It Is pict
uresque as all French villages go but
rather too poor for beauty and there
are no gardens at all, which iff
strange."
Canteen PTogres Deamribed.
Less than a month later, Novem
ber 13. to be exact, Mrs. Tiffany
told of the progress achieved in es
tablishing the canteen. , A rough ad
dition had been added to t the sta
tion, and dormitory and a recreation
room had been completed while a re
ception room to accommodate 1,000
men was in course of construction.
"We have red and white oilcloth
on the tables, red glass carafes and
turkey red window curtains.. and al-l
ways flowers on the counter of the
recreation , room." : r Mrs. Tiffany
wrote. r It is the gayest, brightest
room you ever saw. a However, it
only holds 120 men. Our big room

shower baths and wash rooms. Al
together, when the big room Is fin
ished, I honestly think It will be a
model of what it should be.
"Last year the men slept on the
road!"
However, the speedy transforma
tion was not effected without the
expenditure of great effort. Mr.
Tiffany summed it up by saying:
Work Demands Strength.
"Everything Is going awfully well
and the whole unit has been fine. No
one should come for this work who is
no stronr as a horse and indiffer
ent to cold and fatigue. It Is terribly
hard. The good it does is enormous,
however, and more than repays one.
You never saw anything like the ap
preciation and gratitude for the focd
we give the men and the price we
charge. We give them a whole meal
for IS cents, soup, meat, and veg9
tables, or meat and salad, bread and
compote. It la really good, too. I
thought I had a good many occupa
tions, as I wrote you before, but
since then I have been paiticularly
proud of being a good cook."
Mrs. Tiffany in another letter de
scribes In interesting detail the rou
tine of the canteen's "night shift,"
which she regards as more strenuous
thany the day relief.
Meal Honrs Pictured.
"The station is alwaws empty when
we arrive, but 15 minutes later it
fills up as if by magic." Mrs. Tif
fany says.
"This crowd keeps on pretty con
tinuously. It Is never an overpow
ering rush, but a steady stream until
about 2:30 and sometimes until 4:3.9.
The men buy their tickets at the first
window and then pass on-to the
counter where the food is served.
Of course they are always in a tear
ing hurry and push and shove each
other as If they were going to get
left if they didn't. But there is no
reason for It. because they don't
come in for meals unless they have
at least an hour and usually thev
have a wait of three hours. But
that makes no difference. They act
as if they had one minute' in which
to get and eat their food. Bat all
are good-natured, and if the regelar
food gives out. they will cheerfully
accept any -substitute
"At 11:55 comes the big platform
service which laste about an hour.
It was the one thing I dreaded be
fore coming, but far from minding it
now, I enjoy it. It certainly is amus
ing and though on a eold or windy
night It is rather trying, you feel
that you are so much more use. just
because It is cold and disagreeable.
"Well, this crowd keeps on till
after two. when we have our second
Platform service, but if the first train
in this case is late teh canteen is
full until 4:30 as the men won't trust
themselves to sleep lnthe dormitory
when they have only on hour or two
to wait. i ('
"Then we get the' dishes washed,
the table wiped off and the mar
mites scoured and at three or four
our French volunteers leave usT The
cook stays until six when the day
cook comes on duty. At that time
the day scrubwoman comes and also

works from seven to three. And for
us, at seven the- night Is over."
3,000 Fed Each Day.
"It has been very hard up to now
but we arc all very fit and well.
Fourteen or sixteen hours at a shift
have not been at all unusual, and
twelve hours are habitual to me,
but it has been so very worth while.
Caff you Imagine feeding an average
of '3,000 men a day, a shifting popu
lation, infantry, cavalry, artillery,
marines, chasseurs ; Alpins. engi
neers, Turcos, Egyptians, Senegal
ese, and today about 500 Annani
Ites?" Mrs. Tiffany writing one letter is
interrupted by the arrival of a train
load of wounded. At the conclusion
of her duties she resumed her let
ter!
"Four hours ! have just come
back from the canteen. Such an aft
ernoon! A great train of seriously
wounded, which Is tiring, as one has
to climb in all the carriages. The
men adore eovoa. We get Into the
sanitary trains and begin with the
men who are well enough to sit, up
and. handle trn cups, and afterwards
those who are too ilF to lift their
heads or use their hands. Those, of
course, we have to lift and feed our
selves: as there .are usually between
two and three hundred men in a
train yon can see one has to work
quickly and ret through. '
"This work is hard and takes a
real vision and inspiration to keep
on day after dsv.
"I have personally dressed and
bandaged the frozen feet of 23 Sen
egalese In the last ten davs; great
huge blacks, they were, whose feet
were swollen to three times th usual
size.i The station doctor brought nr
certain remedies for common hurts.
and four of us took bandaging les
sons; at Neuilly. There Is a lot or
dressing. Sixty have been done th
weekk The other day we had a aanl
tarv train with two wagons full of
nothing but chest wounds twenty
four men whose coughing d'sturbel
others, so they were nut together.
"The dressings I find the hardest
part. I can stand the wounds and
tHe blood, but the face wounds are
so much the worst for roe.
"As long as Hive I shall be grate
ful that I have had the chance to do
this work. It is far bigger and more
Important than I had any Idea of."
