~" MEN NOT "QUITTERS."

Out of 5,739 men and $50 women in
Y. M. C. A. overseas service up o
August 18th, there have been only
"a designations, a fact which speaks
well for the integrity and courage
of the class of people who are enter
ing this arduous and exacting serv-
ice.
On the date these statistics were
prepared, August Is, there were q
800 untitled positions in Y. M. c. A.
overseas service, although there were
perhaps ten times that many appl-
cations for service filed in the differ
ent departments in this country. This
shows how carefully selections are
made for the difficult and dangerous
work overseas by the Y, M. c. A. au-
thorities charged with the duty of
making selections in this country.
Between August 1 and Is, fifteen
men from Georgia, Tennessee and
Florida were appointed for over~
seas service out of the AL who were
appointed from all section of the
country. This proportion is about as
usual and shows that Southern men
are as anxious and as capable for
this work as the man from any other
section of the country. What is true
of the men is equally true of the
women, as out of the 1877 women can
teen workers and lis business women
sent abroad by the Y, NJ. c. A. to
have a share in war work, fair pro-
portion of them were women of the
South
