Hard to Make the Fighters Happy

h O4S Just let loose ron school
I'D have nothing on American
soldiers On vacations from the

word from France.
From the town where most Of them
go when they get q few days away
from "the big noise" comes the asser-
ton that if you take the fun young
sters get out Of an unexpected half
holiday, add a million and multiply
By ten, you only begin to Approximate
the high spirits Of the boys from the
United States on leave.
To see them in their playtime you
would be convinced that a course in
trench warfare is the first essential
to a good time. They lie awake
nights to enjoy the beds; they would
ike to have the entire milk supply Of
a cheese manufacturer for their morn
ing coffee. Apparently they have
never heard of war. With the
trenches just before and just behind
them, they have the time Of their
lives"
That they may do It the better,
the y. u. G. A has helped build the
American soldiers a city Of fun, on a
spot the location Of which may not
be stated. There many Of them go
on leave. Everything possible has
been done to make them enjoy them

Back from the Trenches.
The following account, written by
the Rev. Shepherd Knapp, D. D.,
S2mer assistant pastor OF the Brick
Presbyterian Church Of New York,
recently pastor Of the Central Church
Of Worcester, Massachusetts,, who is
in France as a Y. n. c. A worker,
and who helped plan the city Of fun
Tor the boys, tells the story:
They came straight from the
trenches. The mud was thick or
their boots and clothing. They wore
their steel helmets, and they looked
Ike i5ar. They weren't the neat and
gay crowd that thronged the decks on
their arrival in France, but men who
had been up TO the front. and who
had tasted the real hardships and
perils Of the trenches. was glad
and proud to have tie French people
here see them dirty and tired, with
their muddy clothes and the signs Of
real service plain upon them, not IN
worthy to stand beside the poilu in
his dingy blue.
And then 70 see the transforma-
tlJnl It seemed barely an hour be
fore they were streaming into the
Z. NJ @. A casino, washed and
spruced up, with their natty barracks
saps on their heads, instead Of the
uncomfortable and ungainly helmets,
and already with q much more rested
look On their faces, which showed
that the strain was beginning to let
up.
I'VE have a wealth Of entertain
ment for them, and this beautiful
