Y. N. C. A. IS DOING
GOOD WORK IN FRANCE
''0nly Those Who Have Seen Actual Conditions
are Able to Realize the Magnitude of the
Work. Writes Montpelier Boy,

| constructed especially for Y huts. II
is here that the Y's make their real
bid as entertainers. A number of sec
retaries are, as a rule, on the job and
each one is a specialist in his own
line. One will handle the business
end-the canteen and taking care of
money orders; also buying anything
special any Of the men may order;
one will handle the athletics. and one
will take charge of the entertain
ments given by the troop talent. And
there is always one 10 take. care of
the spiritual side OF life. No denom-
lnation is represented at the servic-
es. These meetings are Just get to-
gethers, held not only Sundays, but
during the week, when. for an hour
or more, the men are given an oppor-
tunity to sing their favorite hymns,
and always little helpful talk is Civ
en- by some man that tends to drive
away the thoughts OF army life, and
no matter where a fellow is, he al
ways wants rest
And 1t is a real treat for a fellow
to be able to talk with an American
once in awhile that has still the pol
ish OF the life that we used to know.
A soldier is educated to be fighting
man-not a minister-but few min
utes conversation with or or listening
to minister deliver a good, real life
sermon does any man good, and helps
whole lot more than most people
believe. And here is thing have
heard discussed time after time-the
CHEEKY way in which the association
men greet the fellows. It's always d
cheerful word-maybe hand clasp,
and these all help us to feel that the
people Of the U. s. are back OF Us. by
sending these men to drive away the
careless thought that will come.
Perhaps now you have an idea of
the work that is being done here. I
have tried to tell you in as few words
as possible. could tell you many
things the Y does, but is growing
late. l hear taps now so must say
good night. Write to me often"

really desirable places are not to be
