types, the single hut being LA by
30 feet, costing 10000 francs, while
the double hut to erect costs 10000
francs, being 100 by 80 feet base.
Where these cannot be erected
double canyas-walled tents are put
up. Aside i.om these the "Y" hut

Service of Y, NJ. Q. A. for Soldiers
IN France Requires Genius Of
Nations Best Executives.

A DISTRIBUTING organization
- with a $75,0o0,00e annual

Men of business executive ability
are wanted, men of constructive
ability, men who can solve trans
portation problems, men who can
map out and direct the work in

new, unheard-of problems, men
who will give themselves unre-

ment that this great distributing
business, this widespread selling
organization with its certainty Of a
$T5 200, 100000 turnover this com.
ing year has no profits-in money,
at least.
The organization In question is
the General Supply Division OF the
Y. NJ. c. A. War Work Council
with the American Expeditionary
Forces.
THE GREAT oRGANiZA-!oN
A brief explanation af wlAt this
organization is and Of the multitu-
idinous activities of the Y. NJ. c. A.
lin the war zone Is necessary here.
Many people in this country be-
lieve the Associations work In
France consists Of doing religious
Tor semi-religious work, holding
prayer meetings, handing out testa-
lments and providing lectures. AS
a matter of fact, these features
comprise only fraction. of the vast
activities Of the organization. And
this article is to deal with only one
phase Of the service to the Ameri-
can soldiers in France assumed by
the Y. M. G. A--suddenly, unex.
pectedly, unsought, but not shirked.
When the Y. M. C. A. accom-
panied the first American Expedi-
tionary Forces to France, locating
its centers or "huts' in every camp,
the American military command
asked the organization to establish
and to conduct Post Exchanges In
the huts, stores where the soldier
lcould buy small comforts he en-
ijoyed at home. candy gum, to-
bacco, hot coffee, tea or cocoa,
sweet crackers, toilet accessories
and the like. The reason the mill
tary authorities requested a civil.
ian organization to take over this
task was that at only few points
were there Army Quartermaster's
stores, while the "Y'' had huts
everywhere.
This was an unfamiliar sphere
for the Y. NJ. c. A. Such work
was far removed from its custo-
mary activities. But it was an OPP
portunity to be OF greatest service
to the American soldiers, to minis
ter to their normal physical needs.
The answer to the Army was a
hearty acceptance. And this was
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1918-06-29

"It Is a big business that Is done
through the Post Exchanges, al
though they are comparable ouly to
five and ten cent stores. The bust
ness done since this work was taken
up will reach s20,000,000, and care
ful estimates show that the annual
turnover will be between $50 0,000,-
600 and ST5,000.0o0. probably more,
based on the number Of American
troops announced for France by
midsummer
"The American soldier Graves the
edibles and smokes which We're his
favorites at home This need Is
particularly strong because all the
confectionery and pastry stores Of
France are closed, and because nc
American tobacco Is sold In France
and there Is a shortage OF French
tobacco"
Possibly a few figures will sug-
gest strikingly tho size Of the
monthly business done by this or
ganization. 1t requires a thousand
tons of bar chocolate, 1900 tons OF
crackers, similar quantities OF cGn-
dy, and fruit, and 100000 cans Of
Jam, while the demand for tobacco
Is estimated at 4,500,000 cigars and
20,000000 cigarettes a month, with
100000 boxes of matches required
for lights. Oceans Of hot cocoa,
coffee and tea cross the hut coun.
ters, together with sandwiches,
among which the Coney Island
"red hot" Is a favorite.
These wares are sold at whole.
sale prices, plus transportation,
and insurance. No store rental or
clerk hire is charged against the
Post Exchange. Any margin 10 Gle,
voted to free distribution of hot
drinks in front line trenches.
NO PROFIT FOR Y. M. C. A.
II want to emphasize the fact
that no profit is taken from these
sales,' said Mr.. Sheets. I'VE learn
that stories have filtered back here
to the effect that the Y. NJ. G. A. Is
profiteering in this line. That is
absolutely untrue. The reports
probably have their origin in the
fact that the prices OF certain ar
ticles sold in the hats are higher
than they are IN the cheaper shops
here. The explanation Of this is
very simple.
Lack Of transportation Is the
answer. For the transportation Of
hut supplies to France we estimat-
ed we required monthly 20S ocean
tons for each division. We have
been able to get only half of that
from the government, owing to the
necessity of allotting practically all
cargo space to positive necessities,
In order to make up the estimated
208 tons division q month we had
to buy on the Continent or seek
stonnage in the open market, at
prohibitiye rates.
To obviate the necessity of ocean
transportation Of a principal sales
commodity, the "Y" practically
maintains three chocolate bar fac
tories In France, but the sugar has
to be sent from America. The or.

In Paris for the accommodation Of
American soldiers there, two hotels
and cafe in the city where is
located the American headquarters

- France with the Red Triangle as
its trade mark and sign, with serv'
ice as its object. Because 1t has
made coed overwhelmingly, that
Red Triangle is the magnet which
draws every American soldier
oversees.
One has to concede II is a big
business organization which oper-
ates and keeps supplied six hun
dred Post Exchanges with the
American Expeditionary Forces
now. and with five thousand pro-
jected when the American Army
reaches high tide--an organization
which conducts dozen hotels and
restaurants, theatres, and used two
hundred motor trucks for trans
porting supplies which demand a
monthly transatlantic tonnage Of
20S tons for each army division.
Buying, selling, building. equipping,
transporting and conducting are
the grand diyilions into which this
work falls, and the coordinating Of
ell into one perfect operating ma
chine was an accomplishment
worthy of the best American busi-
ness traditions.

retary Of Y. M. G. A. War Work
Overseas, is the director Of all the
organizations activities In France.
To organize the activities having
to do with the Post Exchange fea-

in American business executives.
One of these men vitality respons-
ible for the success of the organ
ization, Harold d. Sheets, presi-
dent of the Vacuum Oil companies
of France, Spain and Switzerland,
was in New York last week. Asked
"What can a big business man do
to be of service to the soldiers?"
he told OF the organization and

vision.

lived In Paris. At the call Of the
