TO TAKE HELL OUT OF WAR.
What the Y. M. c. A. is Doing Flo Soldiers at Front. ss
(By Ellis Parker Rutler.)


 When you get over syonder Where the raw edges of the war grind to- gether and it is as much a case of grit in the nerve-boxes of the sol diers as of grit in the fighting ranks, the Y. NJ C. A. doesntts mean sissy boy stuff by any manner of means. We have, over here in our home town of Flushing, on Long Island, a young fellow named Arthur Clark who has just come back fron,s a year. with the British Tommies in Mesopotamia and he went into Bag dad with them when they were pant ing and sweating at 120 degrees in nTthe e shade. He did not find a half hour sof the sissy-boy business from start to finish.
 Clark had three months in India before he went to Mesopotamia. He had as side partner a Scotsman named Payne and they worked as co-associate Y. M. c. A. secretarao forces were fighting toward Bagdad. he was running Y. M. c. A. hut in a hospital camp of 10 huts, each with 100 beds, and every man se- riously wounded. The camp was at ng front loo on mse tse Tgrfs sgha fs g dle conveys. frightfully overcrowdeA, brought, the wounded down the river. and before the poor fellows were landed Clark and his helpers would be other dainties they so much needed
 What the British army heads thought of the Y. M c. A. work M told by the fact that Clark's work corpora1 and five privates detailed to Y. M. c. A. duty from the regular forces. t@s
 When the army went into Bag dad. the famous Arabian Nights field quarters composed of series of markee tents strung together. The Turks left Bagdad seven hours before the British expeditionary army en- tered. and the Kurds came into the city in the interim and footed every building. One of the first tlyngs Clark did was to establish Y.- M, c. A. library by gathering up the books the Kurd looters had scattered in the headauarters a M the h big w1s Red ssem crescent M hospital building, which had pre- yiously been the Bagdad hotel. The to a lounging room, a bakery was. erected for, the cakes and buns dear to the palate of the Tommy, and ice cream and soda plants were started. The Y. M. c. A. made it's own soda, The Turks had left an, undanaged- ice plant and the army brought up. am other Clark told me they. found an old Arab with several cows and tftSee wives, and the Arab drove up the cows every morning, the. wives nilked them. and thus ice cream was posai-s bIe with a sun that pushed the tr d. mometer up to 165 degrees and then broke it.
 In the hotel headquarters all the help was Ayabian mostly Turkish army deserters. About 800. Tommies made use of the Y M. c.
