KEEP HIM REASONABLY BUSY
Preacher Serving In Y. NJ. C. A. "Hut"
In Training Camp Finds His
Duties Many and Varied.

If there Is notion that Y. NJ. @. A.
work In the camps consists In selling
stamps and handing out pocket testa-
ments, let II be dissipated at once.
One preacher. serving in hut In
New Jersey camp, reports that he has
done almost everything under the sun
except preach.
He has built fires, swept floors,
looked after hundreds of packages Of
laundry, umplres basketball games, or
ganlzed glee club. stage-mnnaged n
circus. sold Ice cream at the canteen,
and driven fllvyer ten miles and
back three times n week to provide
said cream. He has written letters
home for boys who could not write,
and he has taught those same boys
their first lessons In the English Ian
guage. lie has been repository for
hundreds OF heart secrets, and he has
served as trustee for the care of as
many as thirty Liberty bonds at a
time.
Perhaps oldest or his many tasks
was one that came his way on wild
and stormy night In April. when the
master OF arms nt the military station
entered the "Y" hut after caps, carry
Ing n red box under his arm.
SAY" said the mastJr Of arms,
"we've got lot of T. n. r. mines
stored nt the station. Here's the det-
onators, In this box. There's consld'
erable lightning around, and It isn't
safe TO leave these things close TO the
mines. Would you just ms soon take
care Of the box over nlght?"
The Red Triangle man slept that
night (or tried to slecp) with enough
high explosive under his cot TO blow
him half way 10 heaven.

That same day, In the evening, |
was rendered banquet ut tho Hotel
Savoy by fellow officer who had
bet three other friends of mine that
| would be home by Christmas. This
wager had been made at the time he
heard that | was prisoner Of war,

The first lntlmatSn he had Of my

fact that he had won his bet was n
telegram | sent him reading as fol-
lows:
"Lieut. Louis Grand:

that message for thousand dollars.

them | figured that | was now In as

felt of rich food as l had previously

there was loving mother who was

OF my safe escape than the cables and
letters she had received.

During the whole interview we
were left entirely alone, which I'M
pressed me as significant Of the dem
ocratic manner Of the present king
Of England. and | certainly came
away with the utmost respect for him.
In all my conversation, l recalled
afterwards, never addressed the
king as "Your Majesty" but used the
military "sIr." AS | was British Of
flcer and he was the head OF the army.
he probably appreciated this manner
OF ADDRESS more than II | had used
the usual "Your Majesty" Perhaps
he attributed It to the fact that l
was an American. At any rate, he
didn't evlnce any displeasure at my
departure from what understand Is
the usual form of address.
Before / left he asked me what my
plans for the future were.
"Why. sir. l hope to rejoin my
squadron at the earliest possible mo-
ment" replied.
"No, Leftenant." he rejoined. "that

enough anyway"
Then he rose and shook hands with
me and wished me the best OF luck.
and we both said "Good-by."
In the adjoining room | met Earl

me to the door seemed to be surprised
