FROM CRAWFORD
c. L. Voss Made Chairman for Craw-
ford County for the War Work
of the Y. M. c. A.
IOWA is TO FURNISH s15o,ooo. 90
Suggestions for cour:y Organization
crawford County is Much
Interested in the Work

Mr.. c. l.. Voss has been made chair.
man for Crawford county of the War
Work committee of the y. NJ. c. A
The y. NJ, c. A. has started out to
raise a $3,O00.O00 national fund for
the army Y. NJ. C. 4. and it has called
upon Iowa to furnish $150,000 of this
amount. Crawford county is expected
to raise $4,000 of this fund Crawford
county should do its part and an or
ganization should be perfected at once
and steps taken to raise our allotment.
In 1916 the Iowa state committee
raised funds and cared for the army
work at Brownsville, Texas. 1t erect.
ed and equipped splendid "Y" build
ing 4Ox120 feet which was pronounced
"The Best Thing in the Camp"
The army Y. NJ. G. A. provides:
( Buildings for social center.
Piano Victrola.
Stationery for men to write home.
Newspapers, books and games.
Moving pictures, entertainments Of
all sorts.
Lectures, educational classes, relig.
ious meetings.
Clean living campaigns, personal in
terviews. 49,,
Visits to sick, etc.
We believe the public spirited citi
liens of Crawford county will be in
terested In this good work and an ef-
fort should be made to raise our allot-
ment. Somewhere in the United
States there will be 1000 secretaries
and 200 "Y" buildings to serve over
million men in the United States
army and navy. 1t is good work
and one which merits the financial
support Of all.
Below we print suggestions for a
county organizations '.
1. Get together representative
group of business and professional men
at county seat or largest city. Have
some one familiar with the Y. NJ. G.
A. work state the case. showing the
need ofswork with the soldiers. Give
opportunity for questions. etc. ss

tive committee of seven to twelve or
thirteen men who will promote a coun-
ty wide campaign. Select a chairman,
secretary and treasurer Name an en-
eeutive committee of five men. the
officers to be ex.otficio members of this
committee.

who is prominent in Red Cross work
and who enjoys fine reputation as an
orator. The opera house, the use of

work and everybody should come out
and hear the importance of the move

the Red Cross accomplishes. The
churches generally will hold no serv-
ices on Sunday night, but will join in
the services at the opera house.

papers in the county receive facts
about work of " NJ c. A. and about
the campaign in the county. The pub

to 200 to 300 leading men. urging the
need and asking them to be ready to
respond on certain day.
CD Church committee to see that on
a certain Sunday speakers go to ev.

at the morning service the needs OF

with fifteen to twenty-five teams of
two men each, who will devote day
to the canvass for funds. Names of
men able to give should be listed by
the executive and local committees
and divided among the different
teams. "
TO save expense and trouble in col.
lection secure cash payment wherever
possible.
Suggestion: Before the day OF cam
paign for funds il executive committee
will secure a few leading subscriptions
of S25 to 500 each. it will give mo.
.mentilm to the campaign. In every
county there should be several men
who will give. 800 each. One or two
large subscriptions encourage men of
modest means to put i'll their IS and
$40 each. -
Note: In 1915. for the regular Y.
NJ. c. A. State Work budget. forty
five men gave from, $lOO to $3.50 each.
One man gave $500. Reasonably we
may expect that this year. raising five
times as much money. many more men
will give $10O to $50 or 1000 each.

They Retake Fresnoy City and the

After five days OF extraordinarily
hard fighting between the Canadians
and the Germans the little village Of

the adjacent wood. are again in Ger
man hands.
In the retaking of these positions,
where the Canadians had stood for
days holding the most advanced sal
lent in the British line projecting to-.
ward Douai. the Germans evidently
paid terrible price. Preceded by
heavy artillery fire in which asphyxi-
ating gas shells also were used in large
numbers. the counter attack was
launched in the early morning.
The machine gun and rife fire of
the defenders met the Germans as
they threw themselves forward, but
they would not be denied and finally
penetrated the trenches northeast of
the village and even entered the out
skirts of the village itself. Their ten
ure of the position, however. was short
lived, for the Canadians soon after
ward returned to the fray, drove out
the Germans and again held full sway.
Reforming later and reinforced by
two fresh divisions. the Germans again
made bid for victory along the en-
tire front before the village and wood.
The right wing of the defenders held
steadfastly and inflicted heavy losses
on the Germans. The left wing. how
ever, Notwithstanding its stubborn re-
sistance. was compelled to give ground
and to evacuate the village and wood,
leaving them in the hands Of the Ger
