(CO0Glueu l1Olu pdSC oHC.J called it "the last evidence that any body cares"
 If every thinking citizen could see with his or her own eyes something of the actual work being done for our men bv the association there would be no question of the Y. M. c. A. having to appeal to the public for money Rather than let this essential work falter for an instant rich men would sell their motorcars, poor men would forego coveted possessions or even ne. cessities The work must go on, be. cause there is no one thing that con. tributes so much to the spirit and ef' f1ciency of the troops. The Y. M. C. A. is working night and day to help the government win this war. And every penny that Is given to aid the work Is a direct assistance to the health, happiness and strength of your boy and mine.
 Snapshots of kaleidoscopic Work.
 In all the big cities in France where our men pass through in large mum. bers, the Y M c. A. Is operating hostels, where they can get beds and meals at minimum cost. In London the American r. M. c. A. mas erected a large building for ourssoldiers 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 CTS and other comforts at all hours.
 Over 2,000 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 Y. M. c. A.
 A fleet of motor cars leaves the big Y. M G. 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 i'm, portance of this service can be esti, mated by the fact that at least 50,000 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. qua tents. seating 2,500 In the other encampments. The association is run ming a g week entertainment circuit among the camps and is paying 1e companies of entertainers, who are travel.ng to 30 camps performing be fore the men.
 In each of the draft camps the Y NJ c. A has ten secretaries engaged In educational work. The association is seeing to 1t that every man whc cannot speak English Is taught to dc so In many of the camps the asso eiation 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 64 Y. M c. A. men at Camp Dix only three are being paid full sal aries. In all the camps the majority of the Y M c. 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 his farewell concert tour In the United States, is giving all his spare time to the service of the asso- ci2tion and is singing to the soldiers ateall 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
