MRS. EDWARD T. STOTESBURY

MRS.  EDWARD   T. STOTESBURYFrom the painting by Francois Flameng
    Head of the Philadelphia branch of the American Ambulance, has donated seventy-five thousand dollars to found a school in Paris for the technical training of permanently disabled soldiers. This gift was in response to a plea made by President Poincare for the establishment of several such schools in France.     Both Mr. and   Mrs.   Stotesbury   have  been  active  in war relief work since the outbreak of hostilities. One of the field hospitals in the north of France is supported by them, and they have contributed lavishly to numerous philanthropies for the benefit of wounded soldiers and destitute children.
