sss.ooo.ooo fund to carry on the work
among enlisted mon.
"For example. we expected to send men
abroad in January. and now men already
are abroad. and 500 OF our secretaries are
in France wording with them.
ALREADY we have spent in the United
States about 100000, Of which s3.-
10000 was for the construction Of
buildings. The work abroad Is being
done upon the faith we have in the
generosity of the American people.
Everything Costly Abroad.
"Abroad the cost Of everything is
high. A hut which costs $4,000 OF
$4,000 here costs $4,000 there. Case
line is s1.25 a gallon and coal from $40
to $50 a ton"
Mr. Sloane explained that for the
proper organization of the work the
country has been divided into six de-
partments. corresponding to the mill
tary departments, and at each camp
there is a secretary in charge.
There are now more than 1000 sec
retaries working in this country, he
stated. To train them schools were
provided for intensive work. Great
care was exercised in their selection.

Object of Fund Twofold.

The object of the fund is twofold-to
provide comforts. care and recreation
for the men in camp and thus to keep
up the morale of Americas fighting
forces. This the military authorities and
those who have visited the camps in
France regard as of greatest impor-
tance to the success of American arms.
The sudden change from domestic to
camp conditions, the distance from
home and the necessary rigorous rou-
tine, observers say. call for kind of
care that the Army authorities are not
In position to provide.
Gen. Pershing, in August, authorized
the statement that the greatest service
America could Immediately render was
to extend the Young Mems Christian
Association work to the soldiers of the
valiant and successful resistance to the
repeated waves Of Teutonic attacks.
Anticipating similar conditions among
our own troops, the Young Mems Chris
tian Association began early in the war
to prepare TO care for our soldiers and
sailors. The offer OF service the asso-
citation made was accepted gladly by
the government authorities, and hun
dreds of men trained in ''Y' work were
soon in camp. There are now $500 OF
these men, serving American soldiers
and sailors. Many y. NJ. c. A. men
were called in the draft. and shouldered
their rifles. since no man Is accepted
for Y. NJ. c. A. work unless he has been
exempted by the government or whose

IS Millions Needed for Work.

With the hundreds Of thousands OF
men the draft called to the colors. the
Y. NJ. c. A was overwhelmed with work
and responsibilities. From the camps
came a cry for more help. not only from
the soldiers themselves. but from the
officers, who value the work the asso-
citation renders. Accordingly, national
that not cent less than S35.oo0,0oe
would adequately meet the war needs
confronting the association, for not
only was there q call for help IN the
American camps, but from camps OF
allied nations as well.
Approving the work of the associa-
ton President Wilson, in a message to
John r. Mott. general secretary OF the
national war work council OF the \. NJ
|C. A.. said: May not. in view Of the ap-
preaching meeting Of the war work
council. express to you the very high
value I have attached to the work
which has been accomplished by the
Young Mems Christian Association in
behalf of the prisoners of war and the
men in the training camps OF Europe,
and may not express also my sincere
the war work council for the work
which is still ahead OF the association
The point is emphasized that while
the sum to be raised is nine times as
great as the usual total annual budget
of all the Young Mems Christian AS
sociations of the United States for their
own work in this and other countries.
yet not cent Of this war fund Is to be
used for anything but for the care OF
the lighting men of this and other allied
nations. The Y. N. C. A, 1t Is pointed
out, is only the administrative agent,
and the organization which supplies
trained men for the work.

most all Of whom serve at marked per-
sona1 financial sacrifice. 1t has also
sent several hundred secretaries to

erected "huts" at the base camps of the
American forces. and in Paris, London
and elsewhere and has provided substan
tial quarters where both enlisted men

Now the association proposes to ex-
tend and enlarge its work. doubling
