We want the boys to know that the
army life Is Just grand We get plen-
ty to eat and have good tents to slee p
in, good bath houses and good officers.
We are long gone to France, and
while We are over there doing our
best, We want the good people of Ma

Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan's APP
peal For The War Wosk
Fund in California.

have had chance to learn some
thing Of the Y. M. c. A's. usefulness
in times of war as well as during my
more than 80 years active membership.
During the very brief time that was
myself soldier, now nearly 10 years
ago, one of the things with which 1
was impressed, as one must be when
one is in camp. was with the new
temptations that surround the young
men, many of them away from home
for the first time, and that was the
maintaining their moral standards.
Some % years ago l saw at the Chi
cago exposition, that picture Break
ing Home Ties" that has come to be
'nown as the Y NJ G. A. picture. 1t
has been in my mind often as have
thought of young men, and never
more so than during my connection
with the army, for a great many Of
the young men were leaving home for
the first time and they were just at
that critical period in life when the
influences of the outside world were
flowing IN on them was very anxi-
Gus tnat the young men that went
with my regiment should return home,
If they were permitted to return home,
with character. SO when this war be-
gan, the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation was one of the first organiza-
tlons that came into my mind, be-
cause believe it had great work to
do.
| place this Association and the Red
Cross together for this reason, that
the Red Cross Is attempting to minis
ter to the sick and wounded in the
hospitals and the Association is at
tempting to bring moral strength to
the boys whe are well, and spiritual
cInsolation to the boys are sick. 1t
seems to me at this time when the
nation is calling for so many young
men to undergo that supreme test and
that supreme sacrifice called for IN a
soldier that they who are not called
from the home, and who are still able
to enjoy its comforts, ought be willing
to contribrte very literally indeed to
make the way of those who are called
easier.
When these boys go to the front
each one goes carry ing the hopes of
a home, and every mother who gIves
her boy to the war is anxious that
that boy shall come as good morally as
he was when he went away. believe
II is just as necessary that they should
be fed with spiritual nourishment as
that their bodies be fed. The govern
ment cannot do this, but this organiza-
tion can
