THE Y. N. c. A. AND WAR
WORK IN ARMY AND NAVY
ITS INFLUENCE CARRIED TO THE
BATTLE LINES IN EVERY
CLINE.
(MarShall G. Dana)

Out where the boys are fighting,
close to a hundred battle fronts, the
Y M. c. A. has been doing a work so
notable in the world war that Lord
James Bryce, former British ambas-
sador to America, recently said of it:
1T has been and is today one of the
most active and perVasiVe agencies to
help young men form high ideals, as
well as for directing them into the
paths in which they can best serve
their fellows in a true Christian spir-

hope the American association will eX-
tend its work to the prison camps
throughout the world
No Front Too Remote.
The records of the war disclose that
no front has been too remote but that
some means of conveying equipment
for association work would be found.
No route has been too rough and no
danger too great. Where the Red
Cross ministers to the men who are
wounded, the Y. NJ c.. A. provides
them facilities for recreation creates
about them the wholesome atmosphere
so badly needed to offset the sordid
things of camp life and keeps near to
them ever the reminder of home and
loved ones.
Even the reader may have received
letter from some boy in uniform
writing from Somewhere" along the
front. 1t is an even chance that the
letter was written on stationery
provided by some portable Y. M. c. A.
| A Scottish minister visited the front
and came back so enthusiastic about
! it, that he told his congregation there
were literally tons Of writing paper
and many writing tables. There were
tables spread with refreshments and a
platform with a piano on it. Nearby
was a little chapel where the men, In
ell the realization of their RESPONSE
bilities and dangers, could, and did,
retire for prayer.
