Y. M. c. A is doing under fire in 1 France. Y. M. c. A. work overseas, 1 judging from MT. Crossett's experi-
 ence and observation is no work for 1 milk sops or molly coddles. It is
 real work fer real men with all the
 danger of the trenches and much of | the time actually in the trenches 1 themselves. It is the bravery and de-
 votion to duty of the Y. M. c. A. sec l retaries which has largely earned for | them the love and respect of the sol- diers with whom they are in personal
 contact day and night through all the | vicissitudes of war. MT. Crossett' s I talk was the more startling from the 1 fact that for three months he has ac- tually lived under fire and had many l very narrow escapes himself from the I shells which the Germans seem to
 take particular delight in sending to
 the Y. M. c. A. huts.
 The luncheon today was held under
 the auspices of the Chamber of Com
 merce on one of it's regular luncheon
 dates and President George B. Craw-
 ford turned the meeting over to A. W. Burritt, one of the executive com
