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

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 dscourtesy
at the hands Of the soldiers. The I'M
portance of this service can be est1-
mated by the fact that at least 5O,OOO
soldiers are on leave in London every
week. Over half of these sleep in Y
M. C. 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'

cncampments. The association Is run

In each Of these a soldier was strum-
ming on piano; others were reading
books and magazines; hundreds were
writing letters home. Behind the
raised counter 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: I'VE came all the way here
from Des Moines, and we were mighty
lonely. Then we found this Y. M. G.
A. on the job, and it's been a home

the heart that l watched them, bent
over their letter paper, in one after
another of those seven big tents.
These were the tents of the Y. M. C.
A. On that last night In America the
association was serving the soldiers
in the best of all ways-giving them

Consideration Of Care and Needs of
Children Begins Today in Thou
sand q. S. Communities.

American baby week." which begins
today throughout the nation. will ex-
tend to England, where plans for a
British national baby week" are I'M
der way, according to letters received
by the children's bureau at the Labor
Department The week-long considera-
tion of baby's care and needs began
today in more than a thousand COM
munities Locally there is no celebra-
ton this week. a baby welfare exhibit
havig been held last week in connec-
ton with the Congress of Mothers
meeting.
Miss Julia c. Lathrop, chief of the
chiIdren's bureau, commenting today
on the enthusiasm with which. among
the varied claims of the moment,
baby week. committees have con-
tinued their work. said
mo sounder patriotic service can be
offered at this time than the practical
study of how each community can pre-
serve the welfare of it's children, its
last line of defense. England has learn
ed so well the need for protecting her
mothers and babies that infant welfare
work has redoubled there since the
war began. For the. first year of war
her infant mortality rate was higher
than in previous years, but for 1915 it
was the lowest rate on record for that
country.
Here in America, before war is act
ually upon us, is it not the part OF
common sense that each community
should study well its own needs and
make sure that its preparation for the
grim future, which threatens, shall in
clude the safeguarding of the lives and
welfare of it's children?
