To know the attitude and gratitude
of the enlisted men for tf1is endless

be among them. They recognize tina,
the Army Y. M. C.. A. is doing much
to help them keep clean, both phys-

In short, the service rendered by

men is inestimable. Only those who
have sacrificed the influence and
comfort of good home upon the
altar of their country and have spent
long days in dull camps are able to
appreciate this service. it is doing
much to supply tho home life and
bring comfort and cheer to the SOL

be maintained and strengthened, just
SO far will the ethics and morals of

Y.M.C.A. BENEFITS
ARE APPRECIATED

Camp Fort Barrancas, Florida,
October 81, 1917.
(By L. T. Harm, Signal Corps, Fort
Barrancas.)
I should like to have sufficient
space in your paper to express my
appreciation to the Army Y. M. c. A.
for the service it is rendering to the
enlisted men. For the soldierss in
the older army posts, as well as the
big environments throughout the coun-
try, q new element in camp life has
sprung up. This element Is the di-
version and influence effectedd by
the branch of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association. Through it's efforts
on every reservation where q consid-
cradle number Of men is stationed
there is evident varied and choice
benefits to the uniformed lads which
have not existed previously.
To attempt to describe the range
of the Associations activities would
be to suggest boundaries which do
not seem to exist. The 'Y" hall is a
place for patriotic expression, reli-
gious activities, recreation, relaxa-
ton and education. 1t is a writing
room with free material and a re-
hinder on the wall, "Don't Forget to
write Home. IL COuCaluS ALI kluOS
of table games for the use of the
men and provides a Victrola with a
choice selection of records. It fur
nishes library with shelves of books
Of the readable sort from Dickens and
Dumas to Fox and London. On every
Tuesday and Thursday evenings it
is converted into an educational hall,
where scores of men spend an hour
in the study of the French language.
which they may soon have occasion
to use. Patriotic women of the city
have volunteered their services as
teachers gratis. It has also a supply
and issue department for the requi
sition Of first-class athletic goods,
which are to be had for the asking.
The desk, therefore, il a popular CEN
ter, and every day emphasizes what
a Godsend the Association IS.
On Sunday the hall Is used largely
for devotional services and meetings
of the Bible study classes. By this
means the men who are unable to at
tend the city churches find an oppo-
tunity to supply their spiritual needs.

ROUND UP ALIEN
ENEMIES IN PORTO RICO

San. Juan, Porto Rico, Nov. 3.-The
net is being drawn daily a little
closer about the alien enemies still at
large In Porto Rico. Certain persons
and neutral firms suspected of hav-
ing q hand in alleged use of Spanish
mail boats sailing from this port for
Spain are kept under surveillance.
Spanish ships are searched and crew
and passengers Examined both by
authorities. By the last mail boat to
New York three Germans who had
MANAGED to get out Of American ports
and had been captured here, were
sent back as prisoners. It Is said
that recommendations have been
made to Washington for more string
emit measures in dealing with espion-
age here.

progressing with their usual vim.
Many new men have been arriving
of late and have started in the classes
to learn how to master the mysteries

cry state in the union.
There Is considerable talk Of an
other athletic meet in the near future,
possibly with one Of the Southern COL

we all agree.
