ACTUAL WANT. The stupendous and crushing burden of the war will not permit the French Government to pay more than 10 francs ($2) per month per orphan, and it is NECESSARY FOR PRIVATE CHARITY TO CONTRIBUTE AT LEAST 15 FRANCS ($3) PER MONTH ADDITIONAL FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF EACH CHILD. The AMERICAN SOCIETY has pledged itself to help several thousand orphans during the six months commencing November |, and it desires to increase the number as speedily as possible and to extend the period of assistance. It will be doubly helpful to those in need if they can ge assured at the outset of this winter, which will be cx;:‘eptionally hard upon France that fixed aid from Americans can be relied upon to prevent actual suffering among orphans. : The meds of the WAR ORPHANS OF FRANCE peculiarly call for American sympathy and help, and it would be fitting if, at this period of NATIONAL THANKSGIVING, Americans contributed, each according to his means, to the ' FRENCH WAR ORPHANS FUND now being raised by the American Society and thereby joined in extending a helping hand to France in a way most helpful to her and most likely to touch the hearts of her people, who are 20 heroically and self-sacrificingly facing unparalleled calamities in a spirit of lofty patriotism which has thrilled the whole world. Americans should avail of this opportunity to relieve, so far as lies in their power, the orphaned and suffering children of French soldiers, and in that manner make some return for the SERVICES and SACRIFICES of the FRANCE of LAFAYETTE- and ROCHAMBEAU at the time of the American Revolution WHEN AMERICA NEEDED HELP. EVERY contribution, however small, will tend to increase the number of orphans the American Society can undertake to succor, and will help discharge the debt America has long owed to the French people, and for which Washington pledged our “most unalterable gratitude.” The AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE RELIEF OF FRENCH WAR ORPHANS has been incorporated under the laws of the State of New York for the purpose of : (1) Raising funds by voluntary contributions to be used for the aid and_relief of nchy French children whose fathers have lost their lives as'the result of the present war in Europe, and ; &lZ ) Systematizing and centralizing the collection of funds in the United States for that purpose and their effective distribution in France. Its membership is divided into (1) ‘Founders,” who contribute $500 or more per annum; &2) “Benefaclors,” who coniribute $250 per annum; (3) ‘‘Sustaining Members,”’ who contribute 100 per annum, and (4) “Contributing Members,”’ who contribute less than $100 per annum. The American Society undertakes, by means of its membership dues and a guaranty fund, to chra ALL the EXPENSES of manaiement, collection and distribution of contributions for FRENCH WAR ORPHANS in order that the ENTIRE AMOUNT . contributed for the aid and relief of these HELPLESS CHILDREN may be applied to their needs without any deduction for expenses of any kind, here or abroad. The AMERICAN SOCIETY solicits contributions to ts WAR ORPHANS FUND in order to be able to pledge fixed monthly aid towards the support of as large a number of FRENCH WAR ORPHANS as possible at the rate of three dollars a mont;l’: for each child. DONATIONS to the FRENCH WAR ORPHANS FUND should be sent by checks or post office money orders to the order of THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE RELIEF OF FRENCH WAR ORPHANS enclosed with a subscription, in the form of the blank at the foot of this announcement, to “THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE RELIEF OF FRENCH WAR ORFHANS, 120 Broadway, New York City,” where all communications should be addressed.
