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. Your loving little ward, Gabrielle. The AMERICAN RED CROSS administers the funds for the maintanence of all the children adopted by the American troops

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.

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.

Renee Grouyer, "the adopted daughter of the Intelligence Section of the Army Field Clerks, Section, GHQ, can't play ball very well, but she is one of the best little mascots in France. A testimonial to her abilities may be obtained easily from any member of her godfathers' section. She has big blue eyes and dimples and is as brown as a hazelnut because she plays out of doors all day long. She is a refugee child from the Meurthe et Moselle and lives now, with 300 other little refugee children at the Caserne du Chateau in Caen.

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.

Rene, Marguerite and Lucie Doubinger are wards of the A.E.F. Lucie, the older girl "belongs" to the Railway Engineers, and her brother and sister, to the Aero-Squadron. Life is pleasanter and safer from them all now that they belong to the American Expeditionary. Forces, so to speak, than it was when they lived in Lorraine under the constant danger of the poison gas of the Boche.

The L'Empereur family consists of the mother, Emile (the oldest), Suzanne (standing behind her mother), Jeanne and Robert, the baby. The father, a chausseur a pied, was killed on the Somme in 1916. The family were captured by the Germans but were finally sent back into the South of France. They begged to be sent back to their home at Cirez in the Meurthe et Moselle. No sooner did they get settled once more than there began an intense and prolonged bombardment of German airplanes. Finally, they came to Caen, where they are a part of the Colony Molitor, safe at last and settled till the end of the war. Three of the children have been adopted by the 13th Aero Squadron. The mother says, "Ils sont de petits sauvages", but according to American standards, they are well behaved and charming little children.

Roger Perrier wants to be a designer. He draws automobiles, RED CROSS men wearing campaign hats, and riding bicycles, Baldwin locomotives, trolly cars and American war ships with the Stars and Stripes at both bow and stern. The strong American tone in his designs is accounted for by the fact that the Enlisted Men of Battery "A" of the 148th Field Artillery have made him their mascot and he is enormously proud of it. His designing, however, occupies only his leisure hours. Most of the time when he is not in school he helps his mother make rain coats of horizon blue for the French poilus.

Roger Lang is only 14 years old but even so, he wants to fight for France, and he wants to avenge his mother who died from fright one night during a bombardment, and his father who went to the front in 1914 and has never come back. The boy has been adopted by the ... Thanks to the money which they have sent him he will go to a trade school and then he will be able to support his little brother Pierre. For the war will surely be over before Roger's class is called, and there he and Pierre can go back to Lorraine, which is their home even if their house is destroyed, and even if the father and mother are both gone.
