Dutch about a week ago, in a very se- rious way, but in a most natural and unexpected blunder. It was a terri ble experience, but will have to await the telling until my next" as I must close. But the letter to the c. o. is interesting because it pretty well sums up the whole situation here.
 The work is intensely interesting. have one night each week on the stage in the hut, for stunt night" when we have boxing, wrestling, and
 stunts" We have French classes, high class entertainers and lectures, and something new. and doing, every day. We have an unusually we'll bal anced and harmonious force. Our can teen business averages from $500 to lute cost. We are really doing big 1. things. The biggest thing we do shows the least-the personal work, y 1 so-called. The boys want something i all the time, and we try to do for them what mother would if she were here. | We are receiving magnificent co-op- eratior from the army officials and au- thorities.
 l The great need is more workers, l then supplies. You can say with all assurance that any money subscribed 1 for this work over here is spent to | the very best possible advantage, none | of 1t wasted, the need is tremendous, and it is very much appreciated. Just l one glimpse: One of our fine, clean, American girls, sitting in the center of
 a group of soldiers, in the hut on a | dull, rainy day, sewing on buttons, etc, | and talking and laughing with them;
 or entering into conversation with a
 group on Sunday night, then leading | them down to a front seat for church
 services This one happens to be a Connecticut girl, but these incidents | are typical.

After that we many times sit around in the hut and talk things over" for a while. It is that way seven days each week. The only variation is on Sunday. when the can teen is closed more, and preaching | twice, 3 a. m. and p. m. with Bible | classes at 10 a. m. I lead one. I am glad to say.
