are an attractive feature of the tents
and one of the few Injuries of the
camps. There are also good organ and
songbooks in each branch, which are

Another much appreciated feature is
the keeping Of files of newspapers from

has been generous response by news
paper publishers to the requests Of the
Y. M. O. A. for regular free copies, and
In this way there is constant supply
Of publications from various parts of
the country
Social meetings are held in the even
ing in the Y. M. G.. A. tents. at which
the men sing patriotic and popular
songs, and all who are i'll any way tai
ented as entertainers are called upon to
do their share Singers, banjo. guitar
and mandolin players are in high favor,
and speakers, imitators and monologists
must do their turn"
Religious meetings are also made an
attractive feature of the tents. They are
held regularly, at least once day. and
although attendance is optional an in
vitation is extended to all soldiers to
come. Hymnbooks and Testaments are
provided by the association. At these
meetings religious questions are dis
cussed, Bible lessons read, and q general
service held, at which q sermon is de-
livered
The Y NJ O. A. works in co-opera-
ton with the chaplains. 1t is an ideal
organization ON its religious side for
army work on this account. At home it
acts as an auxiliary force and as part
Of the general church, in subordination
to and in cooperation with the pastors.
It at once takes up the same relation
ship to the chaplains in the army, thus
avoiding all friction, assuring perfect
harmony and giving the chaplains an
organized force with which to work.

THE Y. MIC. A. IN WAR
ITS TENTS FOLLOW THE vOLUN-
TIERS INTO THE FIELD.

The Associations Work Among the Sol
diers One of the Novel and Interesting
Features of the War ChapIains In Har-
mony With the Enterprise.
No better example of the strength and
enterprise of the Young Men s Christian
association has ever been furnished than
by the promptness and vigor with which
it has followed the volunteer army into
the field. The first call for soldiers had
hardly been issued when the organiza-
tion prepared to act, and no sooner were
the state militia camps established than
the tents of the Y. Nj. O. A. field work
ers went up. From the state camps to
the national encampments and from
there to the front the association has
moved forward its branches, keeping
step with the march Of events in the
true American way.
One of the most interesting side is
sues Of the present war is this work Of
the Y. NJ @. A. among the soldiers.
1t is distinctly novel feature unprece-
dented in the annals of international
fighting.
The camp work of the Y M. O. A.
was begun upon the calling out Of the
militia of the various states and the
mobilization of the army. A committee
Of the association was appointed in each
state and accompanied the troops to
their camps. AS the state militia was
sent to the front an international COM
mittee, composed of members from all
parts Of the country, was appointed to
continue the work at the national
camps.
At Chickamauga, Ga; Tampa, Fla.
and Dunn Loring and Falls Church,
Va, divisions of the association have
been founded, and are the center of the
social and religious life of the encamp-
ments At each of these camps the
Young Men s Christian association has
two or more large tents located as near
the main entrances as possible and in
charge of an association secretary and
an assistant Members and nonmem-
bers of the association are equally well
come to the use of these tents and are
invited to make them their headquar-
ters when off duty.
These Y. NJ Q. A. branches are much
appreciated by the soldiers, especially
those wearied with long drills or sentry
beats. Writing desks and materials,
magazines, newspapers and other read

Brucker's Blunder.

The bill to allow the secretary of war to
grant to any religious denomination desiring
it, the right to build church on the West
Point military reservation, led to an acri-
mOnious discussion in the house of repre-
sentatives on Wednesday. A Washington
dispatch to the Detroit Free Press, says:
"Mr Bishop voted for the bill, while Mr..
Brucker voted against 1t, In spite of the
large Catholic element in his constituency.
On its face. the bill. which passed, although
a few voted against it. frightened by the
word Catholic, has nothing to indicate that
1t Is for the benefit or in the interests of any
particular denomination, but Representa-
tive Sulzer, or New York, who was one of
its principal champions, said he would be
entirely frank and say that it was intended
to enable the Catholics to build church
near the military academy, and on the gov
eminent reservations, but that all other
churches were accorded the same privilege,
and he hoped that they too would take ad
vantage of the provisions of the bill to the
end that much good might result"
Mr.. Brucker thus not only offended every
Catholic In his district, but the Protestants
as well, who would be pleased to have their
denominations represented on the reserva-
ton. Mr.. Brucker seems to be unfortunate

evening were treated to a delightful
bit Of solo work at the hands of Mrs.
Aura Parker Kennedy, of Waverly, n.
Y, who is visiting at the home of w.

Kennedy possesses a remarkably clear
and sweet soprano voice, which shows
the skill and perfection of many years
training. Her intOnation is nigh ber-

liancy i'm the upper register
At Elm Park she rendered a simple

efforts bent toward the difficult seIec-

note, and it is to be hoped she may be
heard in concert here at some future
time.
