conveniences of the "Y" are concern
ed. All over the United States, in
every town or city where hundreds or
thousands of munition- makers, ship
builders, or other war workers are
stationed, Y. NJ. C. A. huts, like
those for our American soldiers over
seas, are being built.
The same recreational facilities,
the same entertainments, and the
same educational opportunities that
the "Y" offers the men who go into
the French trenches will be on hand
for the industrial soldiers. They will
be able to find almost everything in
the huts from a shower-bath to in
struction in the English language.
Concert singers and other entertain
ers who have been touring the camps
for the Y. M. C. A. will be just as
proud to appear before this "army
behind the army" as before the men
in khaki.
In many of the munition and ship
building centers there is a twenty

in eight hour shifts, the Y. M. C. A.

the railroad tracks leading to the con-

through the camouflage. Two formid-

reported that they could see plainly

ing together to help the war-an
army in khaki, and an army in blue

doing for the soldier in the fighting
