and on the Mexican border.
=; Care for Prisoners.
The prisoners on both sides have
been kept from drifting into a eondi-
ton OF mental depression by the
splendid policies worked out by Young
Mems Christian association secre-
taries who have been given free ac-
cess to prison camps by both sides,
Schools have been established and
many of the prisoners, being COM
petent instructors, some of them pro-
fessors of great universities, are used
as instructors in these prison camps,
and this takes the time and occupies
the mind and tones up the whole man.
Mr.. McDili in his splendid address be-
fore the Commercial club Thursday
spoke of the prison camps as being
chain of universities across, Europe
because of his efficient work. These
camps, too, have ministered, to the
physical needs through the Young
Mems Christian association in many
little ways tnat cannot now be mem
toned.
Religion for the Men.
OF course, the Young Mems Chris
ton association must first think of its
moral work. and here, perhaps, it has
done its greatest service. AS Major
Todd put it at the Lincoln meeting,
1T gives the soldier religion in doses
that he can take and is willing to
take" The tents and huts are the
places where all churches have an op-
portunity to minister on the Sabbath.
In the morning the Roman Catholic
has the tent for mass. Later in the
day the Greek church has its oppor-
tunity. On Saturday evening or Sum
day afternoon. the Jewish soldier has
his service. During the afternoon or
Sunday evening the Protestant serv-
ice is held. Testaments, good reading
matter, addresses on moral living,
warning against the dangers which
surround camp life, quiet talks with
men individuality, bringing together
the soldiers who are religious in faith
and practice with soldiers who have
had no training, and otherwise guard
ing and protecting the religion and
morals of The men, is a great part of
the work to be done. As Secretary
Denison of the Omaha association
has we'll put it. "there is no hazard in
war so great as the moral hazard"
Now as our troops go out we hope
to guard them about at the very be-
ginning with every protection be-
forehand, and not wait until it Is
too late, as we have had to do in pre-
vious wars. Our government recog-
nizes the need, and from President
Wilson down to the regimental conf
mander, all are earnest in their ur-
gency that the association have every
opportunity at the very start. Presi-
dent Wilson ordered that camp COM
manders furnish every advantage pos
sible to the association leaders and
this is being done. But it requires
large amount of money to pay the
secretaries even at limited salary
and none of them are paid as much
as they ought to be; to furnish the
musical instruments, the reading mat
ter, the games; to pay the expenses
of great tent suitable for the social
and religious headquarters for bri-
gade of 5000 men. Some splendid
men, business and professional, are

Ready in the Great War.
When the war broke out in Europe,
with all its unexpectedness, the Inter
national Young Mems Christian asso-
citation sprang to the front and as
quickly as possible were ready with
their tents and '"huts" to serve the
men of both sides. 1t was only few
until the praises of the work
done by the Young Mems Christian
association were being sounded on all
hands. Hundreds of capable associa-
tion secretaries from America were
sent over; numbers of them have al
ready given their lives to the service;
others have with great self-denial and
remarkable ability served the inter-
ests of the soldiers in the concentra-
ton camps, among the reserves and
in the trenches. The social side of
soldiers life, especially when he is in
the camp in the course Of preparation,
or on the reserve lines while he is re-
cruiting from the dreadful strain of
trench life, is of extreme importance.
Military authorities have learned that
he must be looked after at this time
and they have also found that no one
can do this like the Young Mems
Christian association. He must have
a place where he can meet his fellows
and relax from the strain of military
life; he must have a place where he
can read, write letters home. For his
evenings entertainment he must have
something to do in entertaining his
fellows; have music and games and
stunts of various sorts. Wonderful
are the stories told of the help given

WORK OF Y. M. G. A.
IN CAMP AND FIELD
What the Association Has
Done and Will Do for
the Boys in the
Armies.
By GEORGE G. WALLACE.

Secretary State Committee YIN. c. A.
The readers OF The Bee are all un-
doubtedly interested in the welfare of
the young men who are enlisting at
the call Of their country. Many of
us are unable to go into active war
fare or help in any way that re-
quires physical effort. Most of US
can do something financially, some of
our people can do good deal. The
medium through which we can do it
is an important question. Just now
the Young Men's Christian associa-
ton offers a most excellent oppor-
tunity to help the boys in way that
they cannot be helped otherwise. /
am wondering as | watch, the growth
OF the $4,000 allottedSto Omaha in

tion war work fund being raised over
the country, if our people know just
what is to be undertaken with this
money Only comparatively few OF
your readers have heard the excel
lent addresses delivered by Major
Todd, DR.. Donald Macrae of Council
Bluffs, who has enlisted for his third
war, and others who have had expes>
rience with the work of the Y. M. c.
A. at the war front, and few have
heard their testimony as to the splen-
did service rendered by this organiza-
ton. These men have only spoken
before small groups of leading citi-
zens. Neither have they heard the
fine addresses of Mr.. George T. Nc
Dill, former Omaha man, and con-
nected many years with the Interna-
tional Young Mems Christian associa-.
ton, and who has told much of what
mas been accomplished by the Y. M.
c. A. on the war front. So. permit
me space to tell something Of what
the association is doing and proposes
to do, ands thus reach through your
columns a much wider hearing.
In the Spanish War.
When the Spanish war was on II
took little while to get the Y. M. c.
A. into action at Chicamauqua and
other camps. AS soon as plans could
be made the association erected their
tents, or their shacks, and, as best
they knew!ihow, looked after the
social and moral welfare of the young
soldiers. Before that war was over
it was found that the Y. M. c. A.
was in every way adapted to look
after these 1.-TWO sides of the four
square soldier. During the Japanese
Russian war the Y. M. c. A. got in
Its work, But because of the lack of
familiarity of those in authority with
The organization, and the conditions,
,hey were mot able to do anything
like as much for the men of either
army as could be done in a similar
case now. However, in both the

"The. great part that vibration plays

distributor for the Auburn Six. Zone
OF the big tasks that face automobile

Mr.. Avery, who is one OF the senior

reports a very steady business and
excellent prospects. In regard to
the war situation he has no fear. The
farmers, asserts Mr.. Avery, were new

has come for 100000 for this work
from the country at large, Nebraska
has been asked to furnish 100000 to
$4,000. Omaha has undertaken to
raise $4,000. Will the readers OF this
communication not respond at once
and not wait to be asked and begged?
In no other way can this tremendous
need be met, and from the president
of the country to the captain of the

are interested in them, comes the plea
for this splendid service. Will you

CAMP EXPLAINS
4 NEW PUZZLE
American Football Expert
Unravels Mystery for
Benefit of Players.

Walter Camp. dean Of American foot
ball authorities. has come to the
assistance Of coaches and officials
who have been somewhat puzzled over
one or two Of the new rulings.
Mr.. Camp was asked for the latest
Interpretation OF the ruling on in
coming substitutes. and gave out the
following;
IF one or more players are giving
signals and a substitute is sent in,
unless all the players who had for
merly been giving the signals are
taken out. the incoming substitute
should not be allowed TO give the sig
nal"
The rule as printed in the Spalding
code forbids incoming substitutes
from communicating with any OF his
teammates. and the latest interpre-
tation Of the rule by the committee
leaves # with the referee entirely
As the rule is now interpretated. the
referee must first find out whether
the incoming substitute is to take the
place Of any man who had previously
been giving signals before he allows
that player 10 participate in the game.
