 Following is a letter from one of the "Sammies" in France: "I have l enjoyed the few days vacation, taking ! long walks and climbing hills and { mountains. The Y. M C. A. is doing | wonderful work; both the women and ! the men are so unselfish, and doing everything they possibly can for our boys. The work is under the direc tion of Mrs. Roosevelt, a charming, delightful little woman. The head quarters are al the Casino which ranks next to that at Monte Carlo. It is almost beyond description, but you will have some faint idea as to its size when tell you in one wing there is a theatre as large as most of those at home: in another wing there is q dance hall equal in size; the canteen is in another wing, and a fourth is used for mOvies-not to say anything Of the library, lounge and writing rooms It certainly does seem strange 10 drink chocolate and tea served by { our American ladies over the famous ] bar where royalty in times past drank 1 wine Surely great changes are talk l ing place all over this world. Let me | take this occasion to say to you and ! to those with whom you may come 1 in contact, that the r. NJ. C. 4. is dO- l ing wonderful work and is entitled to | hearty support from our people at home. No other institution could do for our boys what the Y. NJ. C. A. is | doing I have visited many Y. M. C. ! A headquarters and at each and every place l have found the men and wom- en in charge earnest. anxious. sym pathetic. courteous and thoughtful. l No one who has not been on the ground can appreciate what all this 1. means to our boys who are so far away from home. Tn Paris I visited l three headquarters in one evening. At each and every one ! found hundreds 1 of boys, who were it not for the r. 1 Nj. C. A. might have been on the l street-and you know what that means"
