This is the third time I have had to leave. y CAN HELP MYSELF, BRAVE ANSWER The third time she had had to flee. Three times she had been ob-liged to leave her home, or what Jwas left of it, and start out on an unknown journey. With her worldly goods reduced to the size of a napkin-bounbundle, this old woman, mother of French soldiers, had turned her back on all she loved, and gone out into the night, an enemy at her heels and the unknown before her. l)o we realize what that means; oh, women of the West? Can we vi: ualize for a moment the tragedy of it all? Yet there are women in France who have done tint thing daily for fo ir years, and all without a word of complaint, with never a sigh or a tear.
