Marie Rouget who lives in Cain, has lost her father in the war but she has just acquired a whole Company of the Telegraph Battalion for a godfather. Company "D" decided that it must have a "feminine mascot". Marie wrote them early in August that her "brother Paul once saw some Americans and he waved his hand to them, but as for me, I never saw any as I go out only for school. I like better helping mother with household work: dusting, sweeping, peeling potatoes, or sewing for my doll." Company "D" certainly got the kind of mascot it wanted, especially as Marie is as pretty as she is feminine.

Maurice Dallongville (left) and Maxime Leduc (right), refugee children from the Northern districts of France, have been apprenticed in an "atelier" or repair shop at Caen. Here they will learn a trade that both have always been ambitious to learn. In this picture noon has just struck and like good workmen, they are ready for lunch. The master of the shop says they are "brave types", which means that they have good heads and good hands and good tempers

Two months ago little Gilberte Dieu and her mother left their home in the Somme to go see the soldier father who was in a hospital, badly gassed. When they reached the town where he was they learned that the Germans were approaching their home, and if they wished to save any of thir possessions they must hurry back. They started home, only to find they were too late. Again they turned around to go back to the Hospital, hoping to find the father better, and learned that he was dead. Now they are living in a quiet old town in Normandy. Gilberte is as pale as if she had been ill a long time, but she has been adopted by the Company E of the Telegraph Battalion, and the money they have sent will provide her generously with good food and warm clothing for next winter. Perhaps these the memory of what the war has done to her will fade out partly from her tragic little face. The A.R.C. administers the funds for the maintenance of all the children adopted by the American troops

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.

They were driven away from their home near Nancy by Boche shells, and their father fought and died for France at Verdun. They too will be French men when they grow up, and French men with strong American leanings, for they are all "Stars and Stripes Children," mascots for the Aero Squadron.

Jeanne has been adopted by Company "E", 6th Battalion of the 20th Engineers.

She wrote them soon after she was adopted saying: "I hope you are all in good health and not too unhappy at the front and I send big kisses to you all."

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 specially so that their godfathers 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 godfathers." 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 in their home. The Director of the Colony, M. Eugene Schmidt, who is standing in the center of the group, is himself from Lorraine. He has given his own 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."

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.

The mother of Andre Claudel died a year ago. His father was killed in the Argonne and Andre is so quiet, so serious, that he seems much more than ten years old. He is like a young old man in all he says and does. He is one of the best students at the refugee colony at Caen where he has lived ever since he was driven away from his home in Lorraine by the shells and poison gas of the Germans. His teacher says: "il travaille dans al perfection," his work is perfect. Sometime he will go back to Lorraine when the Boches have been driven out. He says: "I like the American soldiers. They have come to protect my country. And I like especially my Godfathers." They are the Army Field Clerks of Section ... General Staff.

They were driven away from their home near Nancy by Boche shells, and their father fought and died for France at Verdun. They too will be French men when they grow up, and French men with strong American leanings, for they are all "Stars and Stripes Children," mascots for the Aero Squadron. You can see by the smile that Lucien is busy "mascotting". The American Red Cross administers the funds for the maintenance of all the children adopted by the American troops

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 Aero Squadron, and Pierre by the Machine Gun Battalion. Raymond wrote to his godfathers that he loves to run and jump and wrestle. He is by his own profession, "very intelligent but a little lazy" and his teachers call him "bon petit diable." Happily, not even the war and the loss 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.

Paul Pivart is the sturdy little mascot for Company "E" of the 166th infantry. He was wearing a suit made of a piece of old tent cloth brought home by his father on his last "permission" in 1916. After that the father disappeared and no news of him has ever reached his family. His big silver watch which still "marches well" is the little son's most treasured possession. He wore it beacuse his picture was to be taken for his "god-fathers." Paul lives at Caen in the Place de la Reine Mathilde, and goes to Vacation School. It costs 6 francs a month, which is paid by his American God-fathers of the Ohio Rainbow Reveille. The AMERICAN RED CROSS administers the funds for the maintanence of all the children adopted by the American troops

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.
