Snapshots Of kaleidoscope Work.
In all the big cities in France where
our men pass through in large num-
bers, the Y M. c.. A. is operating
meals at minimum cost. In London
the American Y. M. G. A. mas erected
large building for our soldiers and a
clubhouse for American officers.
There are Y. M. c. A. dugouts right
behind the front line trenches, where
the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack
ers and other comforts at all hours.
Over 1000 men who had been reject
I'd on account of physical disability
have been abe to get into the British
army by reason of the physical work
of the British Y NJ G.. A.
A fleet of motor cars leaves the big
Y. M. G. A. headquarters in London at
midnight every night to pick up SOL
diers who are wandering about the
streets without any wholesome lodging
in which to spend the night These
cars @are operated by Englishwomen
of position and refinement, who report
! that they never meet any discourtesy
at the hands of the soldiers. The i'm
portance of this service can be esti.
mated by the fact that at least $4,000
soldiers are on leave in London every
week Over half of these sleep in Y.
M. G. A beds every night.
Entertainment on Vast Scale.
The Y M. c. A. has erected big
auditorium, seating 5000, in each OF
the big draft camps, and huge chautau-
qua tents, seating $500 in the otner
encampments. The association is run
ming a % week entertainment circuit
among the camps and is paying Is
companies of tertainers, who are
travelling to g mps performing be-
fore the men.
In each of the draft camps the Y.
M. G. A. has ten secretaries engaged
in educational work. The association
is seeing to it that every man who
cannot speak English Is Taught to do
So In many of the camps the asso-
citation has singing director, who Is
! teaching the men to sing the popular
and martial airs that do so much to
keep up their spirits.
OF "a Y. M. G. A. men at Camp
Dix only three are being paid full sal
aries. In all the camps the majority
Of the Y. M. C. A. men have left lucra-
tive positions to do this work simply
because its appeal is irresistible to
any red blooded man. Harry Lauder,
the famous Scotch singer and come
dian, now on his farewell concert tour
in the United States, is giving all his
spare time to the service of the asso
citation and is singing to the soldiers
at all the camps he can reach.
In one of the draft camps the Y. M
C. A. is supervising athletics on 120
playing fields, providing full athletic
equipment. The winners of the inter-
regimental games will play the cham
pions of the other camps.
One of the greatest services render

out of money orders by which the men
can send their pay home to their fam
lilies. In some of the big camps the
Y. M. G. A. is providing banking facil.
tiles for the men as well.
Do Your Bit With a Tenner.
This month CNovember) the Y M.
G. A. must raise s35,0OO,000 to carry
on its work among our soldiers and
their allies until next July. OF this
$35,OOO,OOO about $24,0O0,OOO will be
spent on the work with our own troops
or about $40 for every man in Uncle
Sans uniform. If everybody who has
received letters from soldiers and sail
ors were to contribute SO the task
would be easy. Are your boys health
and happiness and clean soul worth
$40 to you?
Your town mayor, your pastor, your
school superintendent will know who
is the treasurer of the campaign COM
mittee in your county or town. Other
wise send check or money order to
Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer, 124
East Twenty-eighth street, New York
city.
Only sacrifcial giving by millions OF
givers wll make possible the contin-
uance of this vast work for American
Z soldiers. and for those of our allies.
