Madison, Wis.-Wisconsin must fol-
low its soldiers to France, which is to
be the fighting ground at least in the
early stages of Americas participa-
ton in the war.
Not only at the battles front, but
also i'll the concentration camps and in
the hospitals, here and abroad, willing
hands will find ready work to do for
the boys from home.
The State Council of Defense real
ICES the need of this service, and
among other steps it has approved of
the work of the Y. NJ G. A, an or
ganization known in every commu-
nifty, which has set out to keep the
boys clean and healthy and morally
fit against the day when they shall re-
turn to their homes.
Recently a campaign has been con-
Quoted in Wisconsin, aided by the
state council and made possible by the
unselfish efforts of hundreds of busy
men, which raised 100000 as Wis
consin's share in the National Y. M.
G. A. War Work Council. This state
has an organization known as the
Wisconsin council, and through it the
work will be carried on.

1t must be remembered that out of |
a million men called to the colOrs, 80 |
900 of them will come from Wiscon-
sin. They will come from the factory, !
the store, the office and the school. |
Cities will give their quota and also
the villages and the farms. Many of |
them will be mere boys, and they will
enter a new environment, where
temptations are subtle and strong.
Loneliness prevails even in a crowd
and anxiety for the home folks is
keenly felt.
II is to keep the boys happy and
free from temptation, to keep them in
a position to fight off disease, to give
them dainty things while they are
tossing on hospital cots, that this work
is to be done.
