AMERICAN SOLDIER TELLS
HIS MOTHER HE'S HAVING
GRAND TIME IN FRANCE

81 hope you are not worried about
me. never was having better time
in my life and am always seeing and
doing new things"
This is not from the journal of a
school boys holiday. 1t is from a
letter written by an American soldier,
a man in the Rainbow Division. He
is Joseph Mckinney, Jr., whose father
is New York Police Captain. Orig
inally he was enlisted in the 7th New
York but was transferred to the new
165th, the basis of which is the
Fighting Goth.
His letter also says:
Dear Mother: This is the first
opportunity l have had to write to
you. In the first place, l have been
on the go all of the time since I left
you. Everything and everybody is on
the go all of the time.
There is no stop to anything, but
I nevertheless have suffered very lit
tie in this long journey. l have not
lost nights sleep nor one meal, ex-
cept when I was seasick. / was sick
twice and, believe me, some sickness.
ST think you will have to come
over here to live when the war is
over, for | dread that one awful trip
across the ocean back home.
1.-THE only trouble is that l have
money but no cigarettes. The Gig
arettes they sell here are terrible.
They are either English or French
make, and nothing like (deleted

BEST OF CARE WILL BE
GIVEN U. S. SOLDIERS
BY Y. M. C. A. OVER THERE

1t is well understood now that the
American army abroad will set a new
standard for the care of other armies.
America does not look upon her sol
diers as mere food for cannon. They
are, as President Wilson so aptly put
it, soldiers of freedom. The thought
full consideration for their welfare
will be projected right into the front
trenches. Never will the man in olive
drab feel that he is out of touch with
the homeland.
The $5O,O00,00O subscribed for
the Y. NJ. c. A. is the soldiers own
fund. The Y. M. c.. A. is merely the
steward of it.
Every week Trench and Camp
hopes to be able to tell of new plans
for spending this money in the inter
est of the soldiers.
Just glance over this list of things
that are even now on their way to
France as we'll as to the camps and
cantonments:
Chocolate, candy, syrups, writing
paper, motion picture machines, base
balls and bats, TO % balls, vo1ley balls
and quoits, portable electric lighting
outfits, ink, pens, pins.
Day after day throngs of statesmen
from all over the United States are
at the Y. M. G. A. purchasing head
quarters. The Y. M. G. A. men are
buying at unbelievably low figures.
The whole output of one lemon
drop factory has been contracted for.
1t will cost about $3.50 month to
ship them to France, but they will be
shipped. This is but one, and minor
one, of the problems of transport that
must be arranged. The quarter
master corps of the Y. NJ. G. A. is
no mean institution. Already hun
dreds of tons of Y. M. c.. A. supplies
are ready for shipment. It is ex-
pected that a large ship will have to
be placed at the disposal of the as
ISOLATION.
With that self-sacrifice that has
| characterized the Y NJ. c.. A. effort
throughout, the secretaries bound for
France have been giving up their
trunk space to supplies for the men.
Much has been transported in that
way.
Headquarters are rapidly being
multiplied in France and when the
larger units of the new army arrive
they will find the Y. M c. A. ready
TO resume the work SO we'll done in
the home training camps.

French Give High Praise
To U. S. Engineers at Cambria

Tribute to the gallant conduct
of the American army engineers
overseas was paid by the French
Government in an official COM
munication containing the follow
ing paragraph
1--WE must remark upon the con-
duct of certain American soldiers,
pioneers and workmen on the mill
tary railroad in the sector of the
German attack west of Cambria on
November so. They exchanged
their picks and shoVels for rites
and cartridges and fought with the
English. Many died thus bravely,
arms in hand, before the invader.
All helped to repulse the enemy.
There is not a single person who
saw them at work who does not
render warm praise to the cool
ness, discipline, and courage OF
these i1nprovised cOmbatants.

All hail to the Engineers!

All hail to the Engineers!
Engaged in the perilous work OF
road building and of projecting new
railroad lines right up to the latest
advances of General Byng's army
they were threatened by German
turning movement.
Shovels and picks were dropped
and rifles were seized.
The bravery of our American En-
gineers, suddenly become combatant
troops, thrilled even those accustom-
ed by years OF observation to deeds
of valor.
The American soldier can fight!
He has won the admiration of his
Allies and, by hard-hitting, by play
ing the game according to the rules,
he has shown the people of Potsdam
that he is a tower of strength tC the
forces of freedom.
There are regiments Of stevedores
over there, too. Strictly speaking
they are not combatant troops. But
let the need arise and they will ac-
quit themselves like men, like Ameri-
cans.
