Snapshots Of Kaleidoscope Work.
In all the big cities in France where
our men pass through in large num-
bers. the Y. NJ. C. A. is operating
hostels, where they can get beds and
meals at minimum cost. In London
the American Y. NJ. c. A. mas erected
a large building for our soldiers and q
clubhouse for American officers.
There are YIN. c. A. dugouts right
behind the front line trenches, where
the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack
ers and other comforts at all hours.
Over. 1900 men who had been reject
ed ON account of physical disability
have been able to get into the British
army by reason of the physical work
of the British Y. NJ. c. A.
A feet of motor cars leaves the big
Y. NJ. C. A. headquarters in London at
midnight every night to pick up SOL
diers who are wandering about the
Ctreets without any wholesome lodging
In which to spend the night. These
cars are operated by Englishwomen
of position and refinement, who report
tina. they never meet any discourtesy
at the hands of the soldiers. The i'm
portance OF this service can be esti-
mated by the fact that at least $4,000
soldiers are on leave in London every
week. Over half of these sleep in Y.
NJ. C. A. beds every night.
Entertainment on Vast Scale.
The Y. M. C. A. has erected a big
auditorium. seating 1900, In each of
the big draft CAMPS, and huge chautau-
qua tents, seating $500 in the otner
encampments. The association Is run
ming 70 week entertainment circuit
among the campo and is paying 16
companies OF entertainers, who are
travelling to 30 camps performing be-
fore the men.
In each of the draft camps the Y.
N. C. A. has ten secretaries engaged
in educational work. The association
Is seeing to It that every man who
cannot speak English is taught to do
so. In many of the camps the asso-
citation has a singing director, who Is
teaching the men>to sing he popular
and martial airs that do so much to
keep up their spirits.
or Ga Y NJ c. A. men at Camp
Dix only three. are being paid full sal
aries. In all the camps the majority
Of the Y. NJ. c. A. men have left lucra-
tive positions to do this work simply
because its appeal is irresistible to
any red blooded man. Harry Lauder,
the famous Scotch singer and come
dian, now on his farewell concert tour
in the United States. is giving all his
spare time to the service of the asso-
citation and is singing to the soldiers
at all the camps he can reach.
In one of the draft camps the Y. M.
c. A. is supervising athletics on 120
playing fields. providing full athletic
equipment. The winners of the inter-
regimental games will play the cham
pions Of the other camps.
