 George w. Perkins. multi-million- aire and financial man of the war work council of the T. M. c. A., while at the San Antonio conference, issued a statement on the work. Here are some of the things he said:
 Whatthe ~" Has Done
 Just few of the more striking facts in connection with the work of | the war work council of the Y. NJ. (. A. will help to picture the tre- mendous reach and scope of it's ac- complishments thus far.
 There. have been two financial campaigns since April, 1917. These campaigns have produced something over S5O,000000 in cash actually col | lected. Out of this amount a little over $30,000,000 has already been actually expended and there is on hand, at this time in cash, a little over S20,O00, 0,000-scarcely enough to last until october, at the rate our soldiers are being landed. The money expended has been used for the pur- | pose of erecting what are known as
 '. M. C. A. huts in a large number Of the camps in this country and in many others in Europe. In this coun- try alone 53S buildings have been
 erected. In Europe, up to the 31st
 of March. 505 buildings have been purchased or erected There has been expended for operating expenses in
 the six military departments of this
 country something over S4 ,00O. .000
 which includes the very modest sal
 aries of the men and women who | operate the huts and the vast amount
 of equipment necessary for educa-
 tional. religious and athletic opera
 tions.
 Thousands Aid in Work
 In the overseas work over S10,000, 900 has been expended in the cree
 tion of buildings and services similar
 to those performed here. The men
 and women engaged in the war work of the association both at home and abroad now aggregate 6,700, and the force is being increased at the rate
 of 1000 per month. In addition to
 the above over $5,0O0, 900 has been put
 into canteen supplies, which have
 been sent overseas. Every need and
 desire of the soldier is represented
 in the list of these supplies, and the
 totals run into figures that are aston
 ishing. Take these items for eX-
 ample
 Two thousand five hundreds cases
 of athletic goods, 5000 packages of
 biscuit, 210,000 pounds of candy, l.
 100000 cans of canned fruit, 4,000,000
 packages of chewing gum, $50 000 pounds of chocolate, 100000 900 cig- arettes, 21,000,0O0 cigars, 2j0,00C pounds of cocoa, 375,O0O pounds of coffee, 850,000 cans of condensed milk 90 case of cough drops, 300, 0,0000 0O0
 sheets of letter paper, 2S,000,0OC pounds of flour, 35,000 cans of jam 900 yearly subscriptions to maga- zines, 100000 New Testaments and other scripture portions, 3,000,00( other religious documents, 220 eases moving picture machines, 160 stereop- ticon machines, 5000 stereopticor slides, 6,000,000 pounds of sugar 274 chests of tea, $50 talking machines 94O, 900 pounds chewing tobacco, $50, 600 pounds of smoking tobacco, 365, 900 tubes of tooth paste.
 Need Things by the Million These represent only a part of the shipments in the first 10 months. TC give some idea of the enormous in crease in demands from the othel side, for items of this kind, a cable received the day before we left New York called for the immediate ship ment of 1000 fountain pens, 3,00O,OO' packages chewing gum, 1,00O,0O' cigars, 17O,0OO,OO0 cigarettes, 6OO,O0t cans of smoking tobacco.
 "A vast number of other article: such as footballs, tennis balls, boxins gloves. and others too numerous tC mention have also been sent acros: the seas to play their part in the comfort and entertainment of thu boys over there.
 "All these supplies-large as th' figures appear-have been required tt meet the demand of an army that III to two months ago did not exceed 400, 900 men. With the army of mel on the other side now averaging a million in numbers, and within th' next three or four months to exceed one million and a half the amour of money necessary to conduct thii work must of necessity greatly exceed the amount used to date. It is esti mated that the canteen departmen alone in the very near future vii require a capital of $20000,000 Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. "Every precaution is being taker to prevent duplication of work be tween the Red Cross and the Y. M c. A., and a sub committee made III of representatives from both organi Zations is constantly watching thi: phase of the work. Broadly speak ing, an agreement exists betweeI the two organizations that the Rec Cross. is to look after the soldier! who become sick or injured and tn needy and those in distress. and th' Y. M. c. A. looks after the physical religious, educations and moral wei fara of the men who are not sick. also is endeavoring to do all tha it possibly can to render assistance in the matter of information be  boys over there.
