/ San Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE latch
string of the West is out to the en-
listed men and all others in the fight
ing forces of the United States. The
territory from the Canadian line to
the Rockies and from the Pacific
ocean to an underlined line d thousand
or so miles inland, is one big "open
house" for the entertainment OF the
uniformed forces. At the head OF
the welcoming hosts is the War
Camp Community Service.
The "open house" consists in the
equipping of clubs and other recrea-
ton places, and the throwing open
of countless private homes to the sol
ciers. The most elaborate of the
clubs is located in Seattle, where a
modern seven-story fireproof build
Menlo Park, Palo Alto, San Jose, Val
/ lejo, Los Angeles and San Diego,
California, and Salt Lake City,
ing has been converted into meet
ing house for soldiers and sailors. In
Tacoma a four-story building has been
secured for a like purpose. Here the
men from Camp Lewis meet fire.
quently.
/ The Seattle building has swim
ming pool, billiard hall, gymnasium,
dining room, reading room and three
stories devoted to dormitories for the
accommodation of 320 men. Other
clubs are located in San Francisco,
Clubs are under construction IN
Portland, Ore; Astoria and Vancou-
yer, Wash, and Benicia, Oakland and
San Pedro, Cal. This will add sig
more clubs to the eighteen already
established.
The clubs are but one feature Of
the War Camp Communitl Service.
The service has set out to supply
recreation in place Of the commercial
lied amusements which do not always
add to the moral and physical tit
ness of the fighting men. Toward
this end it has recruited the homes
Of the West, where the men may at
tend dinner parties, dances, week
ends and other innocent amusements.
These pleasures are supplemented by
automobile rides, football, baseball
and other games, entertainments in
the camps and other like events. Each
householder is asked to become unit
in the service.
The service does the work outside
the camps that the Y. NJ. c. A. and
the Knights of Columbus are doing
with them. In this way the very
best influences are guiding the rec
reation of the fighting man, and
showing him at the same time that
the country is grateful for his sacri-
flee.
