THE most gratifying feature Of the
whole thing to me is the manner in

view, the promotion of democracy and
humanity and the spirit among the va
rious boys in the camp Is the finest
thing have ever seen.

remarkable impression upon me- The
only question those boys ask about each
other is. is he a manr I had my off.ce
in the Y. NJ C. A. building and my room
in the knights of Columbus building. 1t
was an inspiration to me to be identi-
fled with cooperation of this kind, and
cannot help feeling that this spirit
among the boys now in the army will be
immensely helpful to the nation in the
years to come
At the regular weekly service at Tenn
pie Emanuel tonight DIR. Newfield will
