As rule, the home .il:; are learning to send :@eir boys away with a snlle and happy God-speed, but here and there some woman would give way ta her grief and cause scene that would dishearten the entire train load of men for an hour or two. The Home Ser vice work of the Red Cross is show ing it's effect at scores of places, and with knowledge that the "Y" will look after the men in camp, while the Red Cross will look after the ones at home, the home partings are much more cheerful than earlier in the year.
 Most of our readers are of course familiar with the words of the popu- lar army song, Long Boy" but the following parody may be new to them
 Goodbye, ma; goodbye, pa;
 Goodbye, mule with yer old hee-
 haw.
 may not know how this stew is
 made,
 But you bet, by gosh, Pm not
 afraid
 And, oh, my sweetheart, if l die,
 They cannot say I didn't try:
 For I can swallow what I can't
 chew,
 And that's about all feller can
 do."
 An inquiry few days ago came to Trench and Camp with regard to the age limit for chaplains. A chap lain cannot be older than 45 at the date of the issuance of his commits sion. Inquiry was made as to the training school for chaplains. The school is located at Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Ky, and the func- tion of the school is not to teach men to become clergymen, but to instruct preachers how best to administer tneir duties to the soldiers. It is not a theological seminary, but regular training school for soldiers. A chap lain is a lieutenant and he has to learn the business from the ground up.
 Alt 1ough the rapidly chanpiYg con- ditions of the camp greatly handicap the Army 'Y' in establishing classes in educational, phys ical and religious work, there is no let-up in the regular program and an effort is made to speed up a little faster and give the soldier just as much as possible while they do have him. The men are proving very responsive to the opportunities for study and many of them are re- ceiving their very first school in struction now.
 The semi-annual report of the ''Y' activities at Camp Pike shows that for the six months ending June Both the total sale of stamps was nearly one hundred thousand dollars, while more than a quarter of million dollars worth of money orders were sold This tells the story as to why men ef business ability are needed in the camps for "Y" service The attend ance m the buildings during this per iod was one and one-haf million, while the number of free envelopes given away was more than that. Figures get large when one begins to apply them to the Army "Y" work at Camp Pike.

By J. w. T. Mason

(Written for the United PreSs)
New York. April 25.-The assegnb-
ling of the reichstag this week has in-
creased the urgency for quick Ger
man victory along the west front, and
it is principally to forestall criticism
by the members of the reichstag that
Won Hihdenburg is now trying to
drive his semi-exhausted troops to a
further advance.
A firm stand by the allies at this
time, and the consequent abandonment
by Hindenbung of his new offensive
will undoubtedly have profound ef-
feet on the reichstag There is no ques-
tion but that critical attitude toward
the stupendous west front slaughter Of
Germans has arisen in the reichstag.
The territorial gains are coming to be
considered wholly inadequate compen-
sation for the heavy casualties by a
growing section Of German public opin-
ion. Unless Hindenburg therefore can
conjure up new victory Of stipend
Gus proportions, he must submit to in
creasing criticism at home that will
seriously threaten his prestige.
The reichstag has just heard from
Minister of Marine Won Capelle very

ENGLAND DEMONSTRATES
HER TREMENDOUS ABILITY

London, April 25-Winston Churchill, minister
of munitions, announced in the house of commons
this afternoon that since the present battle began
British losses of material included 1000 cannon,
between 1900 and 5000 machine guns and ''be-
tween two and three weeks total manufacture
of munitions"
"We now have more serviceabe guns than at
the beginning of the battle" Churchill said, "and
have added to our air service twice the number of
machines lost or destroyed"
"Given loyal support by the workers, we can go
through the 1918 fight on the present scale with
out breaking into the 1919 requirements" the
minister said.
"At the end of last week all the British munition
losses of. the present battle have been made good
Every lost tank has been replaced with one of
a newer and better pattern.
"We are now making more airplanes in a week
than during the whole Of 1914; more in quarter
than during the whole of 1916 and our output in
1918 will be many times that of 1916.
Women are making nine-tenths of our output

This was how military men sized up
the prospects today in the wake of

taken that place.
The fact that the retirement else

not be some "give" in the allied

behind that place the terrain is such
as ito give the defenders an adyant-
age; and unless the line elsewhere re-
cedes too much, the Teuton will find
his progress beyond Bretonneux any
thing but easy going.
