orphans of the war. Madame Chiang has made these "warphans" her special project. Today some 40.000 out. of the iviio-knoivs-how-many thousands are well housed and cur- ed for in her ivarplinnagcs. These are run efficiently on smnll bud- gets: the teachers are interested in their charges. and the warphnns hapy and interested in their work. The more adviincel among the 14- 16 aizc group do relief work in base hospitals, and hundreds train a- dults in washing, bathing and d9. lousing wounded soldiers. They en- tertain convaslcscents and help with hospital sanitary work.

The wife of one of my good Chin- ese friends is in eharrze oi‘ one of these wurphanrigrs. My friend, an

mud hum eminent surgeon. has had to move
