The soldiers are invited and en-

Sports at the camps include volley

KEPT PHYSICALLY FIT.
Keen competition encourages in
terest in athletics, with inter-coul-
pany contests succeeded by inter-
regimental matches. The games
are played absolutely on the square
and any player who is unsportsman-
like is disqualified. Everything is
done to build up perfect physical
manhood. The necessity for being
physically fit restricts the manner
OF living of many men who are not
controlled by religious influences.
Summer. with the clock put ahead

daylight after military duties are
done. and these are given to out

is used for athletic field or play

found Mr.. Cochrane busily en-
gagged in teaching a class in French,
with the eager young soldiers ayidly
absorbing every word. The hardest
work the teacher had done before
the war was the clipping of cou-

Every camp has a large library
furnished by the America Library
Association from which soldiers can
borrow books. Boys fond of read

The boys throng the "Y" huts to

WHEN HE RETURNS TO you
One serious thought with a word
Of comfort in closing:
You may read soon-probably be-
fore this is published, lists from the
battle front OF American boys killed
or wounded. n the numbers seem
great and cause anxious fear to
clutch your heart, remember that
we are dealing in vast figures.
Compared with the number of men
involved the casualties will show
proportionately very small. Tho
great majority OF American boys
who went over or are going over
there will return to America, much
healthier for having served abroad,
more fitted to cope with the world.

suited TO do their life work.
Are the boys happy and con-
Nnted? They are.
You may get some letters which
may sound homesick. telling how
much they miss Mother and how
much they want to go home. Be
lieve me, It is done largely as a
compliment to you rather than an

tember to December 80 there
were ninety-eight cases of pneumo-
mia but, due to the modern, OPEN
air treatment, there were only
eight deaths, a much smaller per-
centage than would have died of
this disease in city of 10000 to
$4,000 population. There were two
meningitis and one typhoid deaths.
There are fifty medical officers
and eighty-hve nurses in this camps
hospital, so you see Tom has
better chance to stay well in the
army and to get well, if he is sick,
than he would have at home.
HIS MORAL TRAINING.
Regardless of the opinion of dot
ing mother, many boys grow up
self-centered, lazy, bigoted, and
without high moral standards.
Military discipline will correct
these faults soon. Any boy will be
less self-centered when he is only
one of a whole regiment: less con-
ceited when he learns that he must
obey. and that his laziness will be-
cured quickly by the drill sergeant.
In addition to this his moral stand

sense of duty performed, by a feel

good, that he is offering his life for
his country. He will see things
from better, nobler. higher point
of view.
The halls of the Young Mems
Christian Association centres are
open for religious service every
Sunday and on one evening each
week. Where the Knights of
Columbus have no building they
use the Y. NJ. C. A. for Sunday
morning mass, while on Friday
evenings the Rabbis hold meetings
for the Hebrew soldiers. The
chaplains use the 'Y" huts for
their churches.
No religious denomination is CIV
en- preference but the religious
workers have a common ground on
which to meet. They all work for
higher life and moral upbuilding.
As a consequence of this liberal
policy the "Y" huts are filled with
men of every denomination. They
know they will be entertained,
amused, instructed. that they will
learn nothing immoral and that
nothing will be said or done de-
rogatory TO their own religious be-
liefs. The Catholic, Protestant and
Hebrew all meet on the platform of
welfare work among the boys.
FOR THE PHYSICAL MAN.
In order to make good and eff
ficient soldiers it is necessary to
have well and sound ones. Nothing
does more to insure Toms physical
welfare than athletic exercise prop
erly directed to suit his individual
case. In every Y. NJ c. A. hut
there is a physical director trained

PROTECTED IN WINTER.
Failure to clothe recruits proper
" was charged last winter. In the
tremendous task of raising an army
of more than million men quickly,
no doubt some did not receive over
coats Immediately. These instances
were few. The published char
ges were much exaggerated. The
officers took care to see that the
men who had not been clothed
properly were protected otherwise
from winters rigors. Moreover,
boys engaged in their strenuous
work they did not need as heavy
clothing as at home What they
wear is determined accurately ac-
cording to health requirements.
These things may be all right
