APPRECIATION OF
WORK BY Y. N. c. A.
SeC'y Barnes Receives Letter Of
Praise From One Who Knows

That the work which the Y, M. c..
throughout the country to make life
more pleasant for the men at differ
ent camps is not going unrecerded is
shown in a letter received by Gen.
eral Secretary Barnes of the local or
ganization. The letter was written by
Private John S. Dittmar, Saith Co., 9Th
Regt., now stationed at Camp Guam
tico, Va. In his letter Dittmar is
high in his praise of all that the Y.
M. c. A. has done to make the SOL
diers' life more pleasing to bear. He
also gives especial praise to the men
and accessories that the association
has provided for the boys. Following
is the letter:
Quantico, Va, Sept. 9, 1917.
To the Y. M. G. A. of New Britain.
Kind friends: can not help but
feel that, if I left our country for for
eign soil without thanking the Y. M.
c. A. of your town for what it has
done to make us happy, it simply
would be one great regret of my life.
Everytime I sit down now to write
letters, I can't help but think of the
wonderful work the Y. M. G. A. is
doing for the soldiers. they have pro-
vided stationery, books, checks chess,
pianos victrolas, also teachers who
are doing their utmost to teach the
American soldiers the French Ian
guage' so that they will be able to
the ocean.
- I,
type of men that I have seen for some
time. They are so pleasant, so kind
and so willing to do all that they can
all day taking care of the thousands
every day.
Your physical director is surely
some man, and he is full of activity;
goes from early morn until it is too
dark to see. One Saturday he began
to play indoor baseball early in the
morning. That afternoon I came
back and he was hard at it again and,
to my surprise, he was still playing
after supper as hard as ever. We all
think he is some man.
Your other men are lust as active
and much credit is due them, and us
boys surely do appreciate it,
Your picture shows are fine, and I
wish you gentlemen could be here
and see us. You could see for your
self.
I wish much success to the Y. M
C. A. in the coming years, and that
they will grow more and more and
some day be the largest organization
in the country.
Again I thank you for the privileges
I have enjoyed here.
I remain a booster,

Quantico, VT.

Served on the Company.

vestigate the strike prior to the middle
of next week.
The complaint of the strikers sub
mitted to the Senate committee was
served on the representatives of the

two full days in which to make reply.
and it was believed by the committee
today that the reply probably would be
filed Saturday.
Company's Reply in ReDuttal.
The next step will be to submit the
reply of the company to the strikers
for rebuttal The strikers will have
one full day in which to file their sup
Elementary statement. and this will
probably carry the matter over till
Tuesday Then the Senate committee
is to meet and begin hearings.
BY that time, II Is expected, the war
army bill will have been disposed of
and senators will be in position to
give more time to the strike investiga-
tion. Senator Pittman of Nevada Is
