HOW new YORK CITY
CARES FOR YOUR BOY
Jerry Hegarty, From Butte, Mont,
Says the War Camp Commu-
nifty Service Treats the UNI
formed Men lust Right"

Jerry Hegarty, for whom a star has
been placed in the Butte (Mont)
Miners service flag-he was former
employee Of that newspaper-wrote
from New York city to friend as fol-
lows:
~ am a booster for New York. They
treat uniformed men just right, do so
much for them. In fact, we could not
take In one-tenth of what was free to
US.
1.-THE War Camp Community Service
is the big thing In New York. We
slept in a hotel in the heart Of the
city, with bath, for % cents Satur-
day night, breakfast for 10 cents, or
30 cents for the best, including ham
and eggs. At 8 a. m. the street in
front was lined up at both sides with
automobiles, some buses, and we took
seats, no crowding and started out to
see the city. Each Of us had guide
book with the important places shown,
Each car had plenty Of cigarettes Of
the best kind, cigars, and one of the
cars had a beautiful young girl, who
delighted In showing the boys the i'm
portant places. The car was hers, and
her chauffeur was driving. ] cannot
start to enumerate the different sights,
but we saw all Of Fifth Avenue, Riv-
ersde Drive, Central Park, Woolworth
Building, where we went to the top,
So stories, and took view Of the city
saw the Tombs,. Bridge Of Signs, the
East Side, Bowery, Chinatown and lots
and lots Of other important places.
"On Riverside Drive we got off and
had our pictures taken and visited
Grants Tomb. The visit to the tomb,
which is a $3.50, 600 one, was very i'm
pressive, as everyone walked In on
their toes, hats off, and If they spoke
1t was only In a whisper. No orders to
be quiet but it reminded me Of some
one just passed away. The tomb
seems to be built in the prettlest part
of New York overlooking the Hudson,
with Palisade Park on the other side
Of the river. The park Is on hillside
and at night is very nicely Illuminated
AT u 80 p. m. we got back to head
quarters again, with numerous invita-
lions to dinner, and 1t kept us gIess-
ing where to go, as we had to be back
for the matinee We finally had
good chicken dinner, with lots of ice
cream and cake and cigars, near the
theater district, given by Catholic Wo-
mans Club.
Eat 2 p. m. we went to the Casino
theater, where the talent Of New York
theaters entertained us for about three
hours There were several other the
aters we had tickets to for the night
performance, but we had to be back in
camp, so couldn't 60. am enclosing
some Of the tickets.
"By the way, we had about 30 sail
ors from San Diego with US at the
Casino, and they were called on the
stage and cheered,s then cheers for the
great victories on the other side. Then
after the show we went in W. O. @: 8.
unit and were served with cake and
grape Juice by leading actresses-some
time, believe me, with cabaret galore

". C, C, SIS WORK
FOR NEGRO SOLDIERS
Twenty-Five Towns and Many
Churches Cooperating - Ten
Club Houses Already Built and
Seven More Are Now Under
Way.

For some reason a negro soldier
can look lOnesomer when he is lone
some than any one else in the world.
For the love Of heaven let's think OF
something we can do for him!" The
speaker was War Camp Community
organizer in one Of the western train
ing camps months ago. Where his
eyes then saw bare stretch of prairie,
with diSconsOlate looking negroes scat
tered here and there, now stands a spe-
cial club for them under the auspices
Of the War Camp Community Service.
Early in our present war history the
need for special recreation centers for
the negro troops in training camps be-
came apparent all over the country.
This need the War Camp Community
Service saw, and as result there are
today ten clubs for these men In as
many camp communities. There are
seven more under way, while Newport
News is planning her second The in
terest Of both white and colored ele-
ments In the communities near the
camps has been aroused, and twenty
five towns now have special commit
tees to carry on activities for the ne
gro in uniform. Cooperating with the
War Camp Community Service colored
churches in many camp cities have
opened rest rooms for the negro SOL
diers when in town on leave.
When one considers the tremendous
number of negroes in service (the to-
tai called in the draft for five days in
June was 300000) and that these men
are leaving homes and families all
over the United States to 60 to strange
camps for their training special atten-
ton to their needs In the margin Of
time from camp duties seems decided
ly essential There Is good reason for
the negro soldier or sailor to look
lonesomer than any one In all the
world" If there Is no provision made
for his comfort In hours off duty.
The largest Of the negro War Camp
Community Service clubs are located
at Des Moines, Ia Battle Creek,
Mich. Louisville, KY. Chillicothe, O.;
Petersburg, Va, and Newport News,
Va. In each one facilities similar to
those found In clubs for enlisted white
men are available Also there Is every,
encouragement for the negroes native
musical gifts, and community sings,
with banjo accompanies, are featured
in all the clubs. +
Nowhere is the finer community spir-
1t which will result from war work in
camp cities better illustrated than In
the work now being done all over the
country for the negroes, Much Of 1t Is
done by the cooperation of white and
colored people Jointly interested In the
projects. , And as for the results with
the negro soldiers themselves a re-
mark of one guest at the Negro Army
Club at Des Moines is eloquent. He,
had just had refreshing shower fol.
lowing game Of pool and was then IN
vited to the club dance. }
"GollyV" was his comment. "Why
didn't some one start this war b.
forer !

100 MINISTERS
AT CONVOCATION
CONTINUED from page one)

continued from page ONE
airy secretary gave him peculiar oppor-
tunity to treat authoritatively and COM
prehensively,
The evening session was held in the
auditorium Of the Congregational
church and was largely attended. DR.,
Persons continued his lecture on
Community Life, speaking on Gre
generating Community" drawing his
material from his practical service of
twenty years as pastor and community
leader in Casanova, New York. Dr..
Persons writes as leading authority
on community service and his address
was greatly enjoyed.
Among the interesting features of
the Directors Meeting of Wednesday
afternoon was the fact reported that
there are now twenty-five pastorless
Congregational churches in the state
and the war conditions make it exceed
ingly difficult TO secure new men to
take these fields. Hence the directors
expressed themselves as under the ne
cessity Of granting new men first to
those communities which were so thor
oughly by themselves as to be unable
to share with neighboring churches.
The Board of Directors adopted total
budget of $l2, 800, an increase of $1,000
over the budget Of last year, which will
necessitate calling upon the church to
meet this additional amount.
East evenings session of the convo-
cation was held in the Congregational
church and large audience was pres
ent to greet DR.. Hamilton Holt of New
York, editor of the independent" and
vice president of the League to Enforce
Peace. DR.. Holt talked for an hour
and quarter on his experiences "On
and Behind the Front in France" and
made profound impression.
The services of the convocation will
continue throughout today, About 100
ministers have been present. One of
the interesting features is the fact that
the program has also attracted con-
siderable number of laymen, among
whom are: P. T. H. Pierson of Ben
nington, j, +. Hoadley of Rutland, c.
E. Sargent Of Newbury, G. L. Durham
of Brattleboro, Gen. n. G. Williams of
