 Fine, cIean-cut, Upstanding Fellows.
 How close those benches were pack ed with men. bending over the long tables absorbed in their writingi What an appeal to the sympathies those great groups of soldiers make! Fine, clean-cut. outstanding fellows, some of them mere boys, one thinks Immediately of the sacrifice they have made for the rest of us and how pre- cious they are to some one back home. Somewhere, in far off farm or village or city street, there are parents or brothers or wives who would give all they possess for one glimpse of those sunburned faces as you and see them on their last night before going across And it was with a throb of 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. Nj. c. 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 well as religious meetings But on this last night home ties were strong est. And perhaps that Is the keynote of the splendid work the Y M. c. A. is doing among our men in uniform keeping them in touch with home.

Entertainment on Vast Scale.

The Y NJ. c. A. has erected big auditorium. seating 5000. in each of the big draft camps, and huge chautau- qua tents. seating 2,500 in the other eneampments. The association Is run ming a 22 week entertainment circuit among the camps and is paying l6 companies of entertainers. who are travelling to 30 camps performing be- fore the men.
 In each of the draft camps the Y. NJ. C. A has ten secretaries tnga sei 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.

Dix only three are being paid full sal aries In all the camps the majority of the Y. NJ c. A. men have left luera- 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 his 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 120 playing fields, providing full athletic equipment The winners of the inter- regimental games will play the cham pions of the other camps.
 One of the greatest services render ed by the association is the making out of money orders by which the men can send their pay home to their fam lilies. In some of the big camps the Y. M. c. A. is providing banking facil- ities for the men as well.
 Do Your Bit With a Tenner.
 This month (November) the Y. NJ. c. A. must raise s35,0O0,000 to carry on its work among our soldiers and their allies until next July Of this s35,000.000 about s24000,000 will be spent on the work with our own troops or about s10 for every man in Uncle Sans uniform. If everybody who has received letters from soldiers and sail ors were to contribute s10 the task would be easy. Are your boys health and happiness and clean soul worth s10 to you?
 Your town mayor, your pastor, your school superintendent will know who is the treasurer of the campaign com mittee in your county or town Other wise send a check or money order to Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer, 124 East Twenty-eighth street, New York city.
 Only sacrifcial giving by millions of givers will make possible the contin. uance of this vast work for American soldiers and for those of our allies.

Is 1t any comfort to you to know that wher- ever his duty may call him your boy will nave a friend that will serve him in body, mind and soul? Are you glad to know that this friend will place books and magazines at his disposal, organize classes to teach him what ever he wants to learn, give him a pocket testament and invite him to join religious meetings of the faith that he was brought up in? Did you realize that the association provides athletic equipment for his favorite games, teaches him games If he knows none and holds concerts, lectures, movies Bible classes, dramatic enter tainments and every kind of whole some amusement to keep him interest ed? Are you glad to know that this friend will go with him overseas, help to shield him from a score of difficult and dangerous temptations and follow him right up to the front line trench and beyond it?

OBJECT ID
 EXAMINATION

Washington, Oct. 12.-The gov. ernors of the various states are not all in sympathy with the plan of Provost Marshal General Crowd CT to have all the men registered under the selectivP conscription' act who have not already been called up for examination summoned for the physical test during the next two or three months. Responses already received would indicate that the governors see B good many objections to the plan
 For one thing, it Is pointed out by some of the governors that men may be physically fit today and in six months from now physi- cally unfit for service in the war. In other words. according to govern ors who nRake this point, If the re- maining seven million of conscrlpts should be called up for physical examination this fall and their services should not be actually needed for six months or year a great many of them would in all probability be unfit for service when called out.
 Another objection raised to the plan is that the local exemption boards nearly everywhere feel that they are entitled to some rest. The calling up for examination of the seven million men who thus far have not been examined would, it Is pointed out, keep these lcoal boards busy for a long time. It may be said, however, that this ob- lection is not looked upon as a valid one by the provost marshal generals office. In time of war men who are serving their country are not expected to consult their personal convenience.
 In spite of the objections to the plan for immediate examination fol the men who have not thus far beel summoned the probability now seems to be that the decision oi the President and the secretary oi war will be that these examina tions shall be made before the end of the calendar year.

CANADA MAKES BIG
 SPRUCE SHIPMENTS

Juneau, Oct. 11.-Yarious lumber men in Canada are sending out weekly, in excess of one million feet of sitka spruce. This select ed lumber is procured from the forests of Queen Charlotte Island. Some of 1t is sawed; and large quantity is taken in logs to the mills of the coast. This lumber is shipped East and is used in the construction of airplanes. An im- ners tive demand has been made for all available spruce of this character. Orders aggregating 175, 100000 feet are now in the hands of the operators.
 A. B. Dodd, interested in mining enterprises in this section, who has just returned from the States' brings the news of the great ac- tiyity in Canada in the procuring and shipping of the spruce lumber. He states that a large number or men are beingbrought to the Cana dian forests for the purpose of getting out the lumber.
 Labor troubles in Seattle have interfered very materially in the shipyards of the coast" was the further observation made by MT. Dodd. Four of the largest planes have practically suspended opera tione on account of the strike.
 While in Seattle, MT, Dodd met a number of Juneau boys who had enlisted. All of them were very en- thusiastic and anxious to go to the front. If denied admission tp one branch of the service, they immediately apply to another depar ment to be enlisted.
