What the church IS doing rellglOusly
for soldiers and sailors is revealed in
a comprehensive study by the general
wartime commission OF the churches
This survey included the work done
IN the 80 large National Army and Ma
tonal Guard camps, i65 regular army
camps, posts and aviation fields, and 46
naval stations-a total Of 2ii military
or naval posts.
Today there are approximately 900
regular chaplains in the army and navy
ana the number is rapidly increased.
In the United States the National War
Work Council Of the Y. NJ. C. A. Is
maintaining work at 275 different sta
tions in military or naval camps; man
ming these posts are over 5000 secre-
taries, $50 OF whom are designated for
exclusively religious work. In its work
overseas the Y. NJ. C. A. has over $500
secretaries, most OF whom are in
France, but considerable numbers are
In Italy, Russia and Mesopotamia.
The Y w. c. A. has n hostess houses
either under operation or under con-
struction in the training camps. These
make their distinctive contribution by
Offering to the mothers, sisters and
sweethearts Of the soldiers a place for
meeting the men in a social way.
The Y. w. c. A. also maintains club
work for young women IN training
camp communities in SO centers for the
sake Of organizing them for more ef-
fective service. For carrying on the
hostess houses and club work there are
i35 Y. w. C. A. secretaries. In France
the association has 80 secretaries in
i6 different sections; In Russia, work
ers in four centers.
