at was evening on the broad
Hampstead Plain, Long Island,
~ where the Rainbow division was
spending it's last night before embark
ing for France. 1t had been raining
hard in the afternoons cold, steady
autumn downpour-AAd there was
nothing to suggest the rainbow in the
outward aspect of the camp. Lines
and lines of sodden canvas housed
$4,000 men, gathered from q different
states The ground was dotted with
pools and quagmires. Under the wet
canvas it was damp and cold, with a
penetrating chill. Lit by Pickering
candles, the tents were far from cheer
full shelter for q mans last night in
his native land.
But there were seven big tents
where electric lights, numbers and
friendliness made the night pleasant.
In each of these a soldier was strum-
ming On a 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 / stood in
the tent used chiefly by men from
Iowa: 1--WE came all the way here
from Des Moines, and we were mighty
lonely. Then we found this Y. M. c.
A. on the job, and it's been a home
and more than home to us. 1t gave
US what we wanted when we needed
1t most. Wen never forget It, The

Immediately of the sacrifice they have

Somewhere, in far off farm or village

7snansnots Of Kaleidoscope Work.

Snapshots of Kaleidoscope WORN"
In all the big cities in France where
our men pass through in large num-
bers. the Y M. G. A. Is operating
hoste1s, where they can get beds and
meals at a minimum cost. In LONDON
the American Y. M. c. A. mas erected
q large building for our soldiers and
clubhouse for American officers.
There are Y. M. G. A. dugouts right
behind the front line trenches, where
the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack"
ers and other comforts at all hours:
Over 1000 men who had been reject
ed on account of physical disability
have been able to get into the British
army by reason of the physical work
of the British 7, M. G. A.
A fleet of motor cars leaves the big
Y. M. C. A. headquarters in London at
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 the hands Of the soldiers. The 1ms
portance of this service can be est1'
mated by the fact that at least $4,000
soldiers are on leave in London every
week. Over half of these sleep in Y.
M. G. A. beds every night.
Entertainment on Vast Scale.
The Y. M. C. A. has erected a big
auditorium, seating 5000, in each OF
the big draft CAMPS, and huge chautau-
qua tents, seating $500 in the Otner
encampments. The association Is rum
ming a % week entertainment circuit
among the camps and Is paying 16
companies of entertainers, who are
travelling to 30 &mps performing be-
fore the men.
In each of the draft camps the Y.
M. G.. 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 a singing director, who Is
teaching the men to sing the popular
and martial airs that do so much to
keep up their spirits.
OF "a Y. M. G. A. men at Camp
Dix only three are being paid full sal
aries. In all the camps the majority
Of the Y. M. G. A. men have left lucra-
tive positions to do this work simply
because it's appeal is irresistible to
any red blooded man. Harry Lauder,
the famous Scotch singer and come
dian, now on hts farewell concert tour
in the United States, is giving all his
spare time to the service of the asso-
citation and is singing to the soldiers
at all the camps he can reach.
In one of the draft camps the Y. M
c.. A. is supervising athletics on 12O
playing fields, providing full athletic |
equipment. The winners of the inter- |
regimental games will play the cham
pions of the other camps.

yelled. "You will make a nice little

NATIONAL PROHIBITION.

The senate, by an overwhelming
vote, has adopted resolution submit
ting prohibition to the legislatures of
the states.
The action contemplates an amend
ment to the constitution of the Uni
ted States and it will require the rat
ification of the legislatures of three
fourths of the states to become a
part of the constitution.
The resolution has, of course, to be
passed by the house by a two-thirds
vote before it can be submitted to
the state Legislature
In the event the resolution passes
the house by the requisite majority,
the states will have six years with
in which to take action upon it. The
house voted upon a similar resolu-
ton few years ago, but failed to
give it the necessary two-thirds ma
jority.
The last constitutional amendment
submitted to the states was that pro-
viding for the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people. 1t was ratified by the nee
essary number of state legislatures
and became a part of the constitution
of 1911
Agitation for a national prohibit
ton amendment has been i'll progress
Tor years, but this is the first time
that it has received the requisite
vote of either house of congress. The
result of the vote in the house is
problematicaI. 1t is certain that it
will receive d majority but two-thirds
is another question.
In the meantime, practically the
whole country is either dry or partly
dry and the restrictions put upon the
liquor business are such that the in
dustry has ceased to be one of the
ones.
Florida will have the opportunity
of voting on statewide prohibition
before have the privilege of voting
on the national prohibition amend
ment, should it be submitted. The
state will vote on prohibition in the
general election in November next
year and the legislature does not
meet again until the following April.
So, Florida probably will be dry long
before the nation becomes so.
