A soldier in the war zone wishing to
send money to some one in America,
hands the cash to Y. NJ. c. A. secre-
tarv with the address and leaves the rest
to the Red Triangle. The Paris office
is notified, and. it mails to the New York
office an order to mail check to the
payee. This is done as promptly as the
check, can be made out, signed and for
warded.
The remittances have ranged from 80
cents, which soldier sent for a govern
ment publication, to $4,000. The "Y'
officials did not try to pry into the mys-
terry of the big remittance, assuming the
man must have been extremely thrifty.
Men appeared to have developed con-
science about leaving unpaid bills here.
Although the bulk Of the remittances are
sent with on comment, few are accom-
panied by explanations, one man writing
that his remittance was to pay his tailor,
while another sent his insurance pre-
MUM. One soldier sent rs cents for a
box of candy for his girl.

An Imperative Need

Iowa, and had come East to take
position-alone and unfriended until this
great organization held out a friendly
hand.

station my first night here" said an
other.
1t was because Of such conditions as
these that the Government asked the co
operation of the War Work Council Of
the Y. w. G. A. This organization even,
furnished the model plans for the i'm
mense barracks the Government has
erected opposite the Union Station, and
Y. w. G. A. secretaries are stationed at
this place, to care for the welfare Of girls
from all parts of the country and Of all

Mr.. Grigg stated excessive rentals for
rooms and houses was practiced here to
some extent. According to this federal
offcer's statement it is the determined
policy of the government to stop such
profteering. 1t is question of regula-
