 You sometimes hear the ques- tion Isn't the Red Cross and Y.M c. A. doing all that IS ne- cessarv?" Indeed mol It re- ouires the united effort of seven organizations, namely, Y. M. C. A: Y. w. c. A.; War, Camp Community Service; American Library Association; National Catholic War Club; Jewish Welfare and Salvation Army.
 The money. is not for the or ganizations, it is for the boys.
 The total to be raised by all organizations is Sl70, 5000, 900. This fund was not determined by the organizations but by the War Department. It is a Gov ernment apportionment.
 Peace talk and armstice must not slacken our efforts.
 That would be playing Ger many's game. Every dollar IS needed, however soon peace may come.

 At the cantonment is evidence that the folks back home are thinking of him. Here are huts not of any special organization, but there may be a hut of the K. of G., the Jewish Welfare Board, the Salvation Army or the Y. M. c. A. In a large can tonment there may be huts of all these. What are the huts for? They are places where he may write letters home i; play games at night, see motion picture shows, hear good lec- lures, attend church service and keep up his studies under the direction of the best college professors and teachers in the country. Here is also Hostess House of the Y. W. c. A. where mother and sister and sweet heart may make their head quarters when they visit.
 In all these huts or buildings are branch libraries provided by the American Library Asso. citation Gone of the seven or ganizations) and filled with books and magazines.
 These huts are not always special buildings provided for the purpose. They are often warehouses and garages, eel lars or dugouts. made into com- fortable resting places.
