to the flag and the national air.
Miss Hayes said that everywhere

spirit of the men and the change
from the love Of adventure to the
desire to fight for the right THE
boys mean business, said Miss
Hayes, and they only want the
things that will fit them for fightings
They were getting ready to fight
everywhere l went and there was no
grumbIing or complaint. i The gov
eminent is doing everything possible
for the men in every way. The one
thing the men demand is that the
hind them and do their part in this
great struggle"
Miss Hayes said that in all the
camps volunteer classes have been
organized by the men with volunteer
teachers. The men are attending
these classes and studying hard to fit
themselves for the special work in
the several branches OF the service.
Miss Hayes also spoke Of the large
attendance Of the men. at religious
services. e#
During the summer Miss Hayes
visited over 70 camps and forts and
spoke 1873 times in all sorts Of places,
from a truck in the open air to the
largest auditoriums. She mingled
with officers and men from the raw
recruits to the finished troops at en-
barkation points and her message
tells of what she saw and what i'm
pressed her most deeply.
