 Here is the tribute paid tc the Y. M. c. A. by the chaplain of the famous Black Watch Reg. ident of Canada, which went out with HOO men and came back with 1 officer and 36 men: The Y. M. c. A. in my opinion is the greatest organization in the army. It is your bank, your library, your theatre, your read ing and writing room, your bureau of information. They can't do enough for you. No matter how hard or tough a man is he takes off his hat to the Army Y. M. c. A. It's the best friend he has. !"

Red Gross Notes

The Red Cross work rooms are simply swamped with work. A shipment of 200 cut bed jack. cts and 60 helpers case shirts, as well as 23 pounds of sock yarn, reached us on Monday. This work being exclusive of their regular quota as communi- cated to US last week, at that time we had reason to believe there would be a Hull in our work and that we could take a vaca- tion from the regular routine. This seems to have been a mistake and all workers are once more asked as much tune as possible to the making of garments.

LETTER FROM w. T. NIPPER
Continued from Page One.)

tors for last month our records show,
Some people may say, Il do not be-
l1eve in that kind of recreation for the
| men," but it is much better having
them developed in muscle and will
power than lie around the barracks
and gamble. The men are we'll fed
and you never hear a complaint of
any kind. All are fine fellows, who
arc glad to be in the service of Uncle
Sam; however, all are anxious to 90
across and longing for that time to
come
We have fine library here in the
| building, with all kinds of good read
| ing matter, books and magazines, and
all kinds OF periodicals for the use of
the men. Last month 1884 books
were read by the men of this field.
| Have picture shows twice a week
which is absolutely for the men free
OF charge. They all enjoy the high
class line of picture shows.
This is very beautiful site for a
camp and wonderful flying field.
YOU may see at any time a number
OF ships doing stunts that you would
De afraid to pull on the ground. The
men seem to feel the great RESPONSE
olilty and Importance of this branch
OF the service, realizing that the ewes
OF America are turned in this direc-
ZION, they are striving to prove their
| efhciency i'll this line Of work rather
than disappointment.
VIII say in regard to leaving home
and giving up my position for the
Y. M. {. A. work, | do not regret
having done SO and feel that am
dong my bit to help whip the Kali
ser and win the world for democracy
and Christianity, for the betterment
of all mankind.
we have been under strict quaran-
tine for about three weeks for the
Spanish influenza, but hope to be re-
leased by Tuesday, October q. We
nave quite few cases but have not
had but three deaths.
We have just pulled over flood
down here. 1t rained for two DAYS
and nights and we were under water
In most of the places from to l8 in,
ches for very near week. Some of
the men put up signs around their
barracks Beware of Sharks and Sub
marines"
We have two flying fields here and
they are both we'll drained. We have
very little trouble with MOSQUITOES
at all, and the nights are very fine,
although the days are pretty warm.

SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS
ARE HAVING TROUBLE

ATLANTA.-Some of the school
districts of Atlanta are having a hard
time to agree on their representatives
on the newly organized board of edu-
cation created by special charter
amendment passed by the Georgia
legislature at the 1918 session. The
new board will consist of one member
from each of five school districts
formed by grouping the ten wards
of the city. These ward groupings
have brought to the surface irrecon-
cilable differences of opinion concern
ing the best men to represent the dis
tricts, and indications are that the
plan of unanimous nominations will
not go through.
