SHORT NEWS NOTES

The last loan to Great Britain by
this country last week, amounted to
$435 ,OOO,O 1000, runs the total of money
loaned to the Allies since the start
of the war to $5,000,000,O00.
About 1000 Red Cross nurses have
been sent from this country to
Europe. This number is enough to
attend 100000 sick or wounded SOL
diers.
Owing to "a scarcity of pennies in
circulation, the banks all over the
country are asking that the public de-
posit all the pennies that they may
have in savings banks or other places.
The mint at Denver has been turning
out $500 in pennies per day and an
increase to $4,000 per day is in pros
pect. The war tax measures which
add a penny to the price of moving
picture tickets, etc., is responsible for
the shortage.
The embargo against cattle ship
ments will be lifted if livestock ship
pers can show that failure to provide
facilities will cause cattle to stAlve
because feed stuff is scarce. The en-
barge was established. by the federal
trade commission and it will prob.
ablv last two weeks longer.

books and Magazines; hundreds were
writing letters home Behind the
raised ceunter at one end three or four
young men were busy passing out
notepaper and envelopes, selling
stamps and weighing parcels, which
the men were sending home. One OF
the soldiers said to me as l stood in
the tent used chiefly by men from
Iowa: 1--WE came all the way here
from Des Moines, and we we're mighty
lonely. Then we found this Y. M. c..

sunburned faces as you and l see
them on their last night before going
across. And it was with q throb OF
the heart that watched them, bent
over their letter paper, in one after
another of those seven big tents.
These were the tents of the Y. M. G..
A. On that last night in America the
association was serving the soldiers
in the best of all ways-giving them
an opportunity to write home. On
previous nights they had enjoyed box
ing bouts, movies, concerts, dramatics
and a score of healthy entertainments
as we'll as religious meetings. But on
this last night home ties were strong

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
hostels, where they can get beds and
meals at minimum cost. In London
the American Y. M. c. A. mas erected

There are Y. M. c. A. dugouts right
behind the front line trenches, where
the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack.

A feet of motor cars leaves the big

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 tho hands Of the soldiers. The i'm

mated by the fast that at least $4,000
soldiers are on leave In London every

Entertainment on Vast Scale.

among the camps and is paying 16
companies of entertainers, who are
travelling to 80 camps performing be-
fore the men.
In each of the draft camps the Y.
M. c. 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 Ga Y. M. c.. A. men at Camp
Dix only three are being paid full sal.

Of the Y. M. c. A. men have left lucra.
