The "Y' Men Are To Be

If you want to know what the Y. N.

reply of the American soldiers in
France, according to cablegram re-
ceived recently by the National War
Work Council telling of more secre-
taries who have been under liquid
fire attacks, as well as gas and shell
FIRE. The American Expeditionary Of
ficers have sent scores of letters to
the Paris headquarters of the "Y"
praising the work of the Red Triangle
workers, declaring them to be indis-
pensable.
More than a thousand 'Y' secre-
taries are in advanced positions and

fuse to be relieved, saying that where

The success which the Allied for
ces, are having IN stemming the tide
of the recent German drive, and 10
which success the American troops
have played a prominent part, is
highly pleasing to the people of this
great country, for regardless of for
mer differences in opinions as to war,
the american nation almost rs a
whole have come to feel their parso-
nal relation to the great struggle
going on across the sea, for butfew if
any there be, who have not or VIII not
have relatives in the fighting forces
and then besides the national honor
is at stake aud all realize we must Sc
cure for America, now that we are
in 1T up to the hilt, those just fruits
OF the valor of our youth. May the
successes to the Allies become more
and more pronounced until the Ger
man army is rolled back beyond the
Rhine and that misguided nation
clanors for peace of the kind and
only kind she should get.

KING BASE BALL YIELDS
TOVOLLEYBALL INCAMP
Popularity OF voIIey Ball Among Sol
diers Surprises All Old Base
ball Fans.

wnat are une ravor1te games with
the soldiers in training camps in the
southeastern division? The immediate
response would naturally be baseball.
to the latest statistical report oom-
piled by r. G. Cubbon, Army Y. M. C.
A. physical director for the southeast
ern division, aided by the the 126 phys
ical directors in the camps. Their fig
ures of the number of games played
and the number of men participating
ular of all sports,
There was time when baseball was
the most popular sport in the camps,
and in the month of March it was
three times as popular as any other
game, but in the following month the
newly introduced game of yolley ball
was taken by the soldiers with the
greatest OF enthusiasm and the report
of the physical directors in the camps
of the southeastern department show
that, commencing with the month of
April, volley Ball has easily held first
place as the most popular sport with
the soldiers.
This is very easily understood when
1t is explained that volley ball can be
played in very small space about
the size Of tennis court The sol
diers with little practice can become
quite expert in the game. Another fea-
ture is that all of the players on both
sides are playing the entire time, (no
bench warming) and the games do not
last nearly so long as baseball, in fact
not much longer than the average
baseball inning. The only equipment
needed for this game is one ball and
one net.
Playground baseball is another game
that is making a great hit with the
soldiers and now ranks fourth in pop
ularity. This game also can be play
ed in a small space. the distances be-
tween bases being only thirty feet
In this game large, soft ball is used
and the pitcher is required to use the
underhand throw. All the skill of the
parent game of baseball is required
for playground ball and the playing
has all the thrills and tense moments
that is to be had in the national past
time.
AS an entertainer boxing 10 very
much in the limelight in the camps
and like baseball has an immense fol-
lowing of devotees. Providing games
of entertainment is of no small import
ance in the camps as 1t is shown in the
physical directors report that 905.376
spectators were in attendance at 143,-
348 games in which 662,066 soldiers
participated in Y. NJ G. A. gamss-

The editor of this paper would be
lacking in moral courage and forfeit
the goodly esteem Of hir best friends
and strongest admirers as writer
II we were to SO stutify our con
science as to heed the attempted
dlctation of a few ringsters in
Greene County and allow them to

choice for United s tates Senator in

never figured farther from a true re-
suit in your lives than believing you

and our friends are telling US almost
every day that we shall not come 10
any real harm in the long run. The
Herald had thought that the day OF
rlng-rule in Greene County had past
and hopes SO yet, but possibly not.
Depend on it, passing events will

not stand alone in uncompromising
opposition to such condition fas-
tening itself with boldness onto the

NATIONAL. MOVE
FOR PHYSICAL
REGENERATION
Started by National Security
League Through Committee
Headed by Walter Camp.

Impressed by the fact; that 20 per
colors In the draft are being rejected
for physical disability, the National Se-
curity League has started a nation,
wide movement to promote the phys
ical welfare of the youth of the land
through the organization by communi-
ties of branches of Committee on
Physical Reserve, of which Walter
Camp, veteran trainer of athletes, is
chairman. In answer to letter sent
by the league to the mayors of all the
cities in the country of over 5000 pop
ulation asking them to appoint COM
mittees to cooperate with Mr.. Camp,
200 committees in 80 states have al
ready been appointed to carry out the
idea. Associated with Mr. Camp on
the Committee on Physical Reserve
are William G. Anderson, member of
the Advisory Committee of Yale Uni
versity Gymnasium, and Joseph Il.
Raycroft, member of the War and
Navy Departments Commission ON
Training Camp Activities.
"Economic Disaster"
In discussing this new effort of the
Security League, s. Stanwood Menken,
president of the league, said:
| "The National Security League has
taken up this work because the coun-
try cannot afford without serious eco
nomic disaster to lose the benefit of
| the service of nearly one third of the
men who are drafted for military duty
because of physical unfitnass and
whose places must be taken by those
who have dependents. The draft fig
ures show that 90 per cent Of the
men are physically unfit. The work is
necessary, as, with the strain upon
American brain, 1t Is essential that
public attention be focused upon the
need of paying also due regard to
| physical safety. The efficiency of the
human engine and the ability of the
man-power of the nation to withstand
attrition, and the extra work that the
men who are doing things have to
bear at present, makes 1t important
that these men should recognize the
part that physical exercise plays In
their ability to bear their full load of
| work
Life Worth $11 900.
Furthermore, with the difficulty in
| supplying full quota of labor for In
! dustries, 1t is necessary that the man.
power Of the nation should be in
creased by the maximum measure of
| physical strength. Every individual
has direct interest in seeing that this
result is brought about. As an eco
nomic matter, each life is estimated to
be worth to the nation $11 900 and we
cannot afford to waste any part of
this most valuable national asset AS
human matter we cannot as a Chris
tian people, supposedly representing
the highest intelligence and civilian
tion, allow our people to neglect the
simple things which would save them
II fully understood.
"The work which Mr.. Camp has un-
dertaken Is a movement of such nation
wide Importance and SO manifestly
| needed that its mere presentment will
commend it to every thoughtful Ameri-
can"
Thoroughly Agree"
Some Of the Endorsements of the Sc
curity League idea in organizing this
nationwide campaign for physical re
generation read:
Mayor Connell of Scranton, Pa, Il
| thQroughly agree with YOU as to taking
