Prof. Twente, former superintend-
ent of Baxter Springs schools writes
from some where in France. Mrs.
Twente is now teaching here:
Somewhere in France, Aug. 1S.
Mr.. NJ. L. Catlett, Columbus, Kas.
My Dear Mr.. Catlett:
Am glad to write concerning the
work the Y. NJ. C. A. is doing for
the American Forces here in France.
Since entering the services OF the
Triangle men have been wherever the
soldiers have gone. From the camps
in the States, on the vessels crossing
the Atlantic, in the camp here in
France then to the reserve for Sec
tor of the front at the support and
finally in the trenches, themselves, the
Y men, are always on the job. The
kind of help that means vital service
is given by this organization. Books
the latest novels, books of travel,
late war editions and scriptural works
are carried from place to place and
distributed to those who care to read.
For entertainment films are shown
once or twice a week. Chocolates and
cakes are provided for the men at
cost and those who wish them may
secure cigarettes and various kinds Of
tobacco and matches. At the various
Y. NJ. C. A. huts hot chocolates, hot
coffee and various other drinks Of
that kind are furnished to the sol
diers.
If O man wishes to send money to
the states a safe means Of using
money orders that is provided without
paying the exchange. In short, the Y.
NJ. C. A. is doing a big work on a
big scale with q big heartedness. and
can justly expect and demand the
most liberal support which the folks
at home can give.
Let me assure You that the Ameri-
can boys appreciate the great sacri-
fee made by you folks at home. With
the knowledge Of your cooperation
and interest in the future as in the
past soldiers under the Stars and
Stripes will lick the PInssian Guards
to q frazzle and make the world safe
for freedom and democracy.
Thanking you for your personal in
terest, ! am,
Very respectfully,
John w. Twente.
