Ak lie Bans, French
Resort Is "SOme Dump"

Douglas /. Gilman, the real estate
operator who finds time to serve on
the war personnel board of the Y. NJ.
C. A. and aid in the recruiting of
men over fighting g to do the work
which the "Y" has undertaken in CO.
operation with the knights OF COL
umbus, Salvation Army, Jewish We'll
fare Board and other organizations,
was in Aix-les-Bains soon after the
'Y" had taken over that resort to
make a leave and rest camp for
American fighting men who needed
relaxation after serving in the trench
es.
I'VE didn't know exactly how some
of the boys would feel in the midst
of such s%plendors as the famous CAST
no. for instance. A few of us were
standing in the rotunda, with its
marble floor, expensive statuary, dec
GRATED ceilings, etc. when a private
entered. We had been trying to figure
out Just what would happen when
this private should appear. Here he
was. and we waited breathlessly.
THE soldier, a member OF the
Fighting seth of the 165th Division,
had a large size cud of tobacco in one
cheek. from the off corne of his
mouth a trench perfecto was tilted
belligerently. His hat was draped
h, carelessly over one ear. Squirting
from the eye on the other side, the
new conner made a usual inspection
of his surroundings. Still we waited.
Then. his appraisal finished, that
New York boy removed his cigar
from his lips, blew forth a cloud Of
smoke. sent a stream of tobacco Juice
squirting after 1t. and calculated:
"'Some dump!'
History will not record the name
of hat fighting man, but he surely
did relieve the minds of a committee
of novices engaged In a pioneer war
work. Aix-les-Bains has more than
justified Its selection and the purpose
behind hat selection. The boys who
spend their leave there carry back
such glowing reports that their fell
lows Immediately cancel their ar
rangements to go to Paris and go In
stead to a resort where the tempta-
lions are eliminated and where they
may be assured that they will find
congenial recreation and return to
their military duties more efficient
fighting men.
