THE Y. M. C. A. OVER THERE.

concerning the work Of the 7. NJ =.
nth The American Army.
"Doris asked me to tell about the I. NJ.
G.. A.. in relation to the work that they are
doing over here for the betterment OF the
morals of the men, and the entertainment
that they are providing. I can truthfully
saw that the y. M. C. A. are doing great
er work in this war than people in the states
can imagine. In every one Of the camps
or bases on this side, there is at least one
Y. M C. A. secretary, and in good many
two or more according to the number OF men
at, the base. They have their own huts, as
thew are called, which are built like bunga-
lows and they are constructed IN a way
that makes one feel at home the minute
one goes in the door. There is reading
room, social room, which includes the place
where services are held, and billiard room.
I hear that some even have shower baths
for the men. 1t really provides a place
where men can go who are off duty to spend
their spare time think that the busiest
place in the building is the writing room,
for YOU cannot imagine the vast amount of
letters that go out of here every day. The
secretaries provide for some sort of enter
tainment every night, and generally on two
nights a week, there is some professional
talent from somewhere to help US pass away
the idle moments The secretaries arrange
the athletic schedule for all of the events,
and in this way become closely affiliated
with the greater part of the men. Men that
never went to church in the states go here
every Sunday, and as one sits and looks at
the expression on their faces, you can real
ize the wonderful work the Y. M. c. A. is
doing. One is not compelled to go, but you
would think they were, to come here and
see all of them at church every Sunday
morning In the evening on Sunday, we
hold a sort of Christian Endeavor meeting
and song service In conclusion I want to
say that the Y. NJ C. A. is an institution
that will live always in the minds of the
men that are over on this side, even after
the war is over, and we are back in the
states again.
81 think that this is about as complete
explanation as can give you on the Y. N
c. A., and its work over here.
IT wrote to you day before yesterday and
told you all of the news, so will have to
close for this time, am as ever,

WHO CAN DOUBT?

-HE following extract from a letter VIII
ten by Herbert Lauterbach to his par
ents here, contains word Of interest t.
very American citizen and especially TO thos'
Who have doubted somewhat the necessity O
his stern war. The fact that Mr.. Lauterbacl
6 Of German ancestry makes his word the NOR
forceful.
"There has been no excitement around
here for some time so | hardly know how
to fill up space at this writing. Conditions
on the front are attracting great deal OF
our attention and we hear many contradlct-
ing reports. Of course we have only one
answer for the final outcome and that is
victory for the Allies. 1t may be long
time in coming though, but firmly believe
that the President will carry out his policy
to the letter. Until the German military
powers are completely crushed there can be
no victory for the Allies. It is very clear
to see that the one idea of the powers of
Germany is for world conquest The peace
treaties with Russia have proved that. After
entering into agreements to restore certain
territory with the understanding that Rus
sia would demobilize her army the German
army resumed their march and have again
taken this same territory A power that
will use such unscrupulous methods cannot
be tolerated by the free peoples OF the
world My heart goes out to the people OF
Germany for I don't think there is any
question but what they have been mlsled
and misinformed through all that has taken
place. but of course they must suffer the
terrible consequences that will result from
the errors of those who are in power. If
the United States had been as quick to see
and act as England did, the price that we
will have to pay for victory would not have
been so great The geographical location
of England naturally placed her in more
critical position while the United States
on the other hand was reluctant to believe
that the German government had in view
world conquest. Time has proved this to
have been their object and we therefore
owe much to England for her timely inter-
vention.
"We are not allowed to mention results
of the enemy attacks, but I think I can
safely say that much Of their fire and many
of their attacks are directed on HELPLESS
people. cathedrals and old historical build
ings merely for the demoralizing effect on
the inhabitants. There was time when
doubted some of the atrocities committed
by them, but that time has long passed.
They will do most anything, but remember
this, it is always by order of the military
authorities.

fine. With love, from your
