creases Of the army and navy causes
an increase in the needs OF indtvi&-
uals. And because these individual
needs represent not only the personal
problems OF the country'S defenders
but the personal problems OF that 9th
or army OF men and women back OF
the lines who are supplying the means
BIZ which the defenders make the de-
tense.
Having thus stated broadly the
strain to which the S170.500,ooo is to
be subjected. the speakers at the con-
ference became specific and repeated
the familiar story Of how the seven
welfare organizations have recognized
and have already met to the extent OF
their financial limit, the needs Of the
factory girl for housing and recrea-
ton: the need Of the war-mother and
the war.b:ide and the war-Sweetheart
for a suitable place to visit the war
man and the war-boy; the needs OF
the emotional young person who
taunts the environments for a little
counsel and advice as to the placing OF
her affections; the needs OF a home
sick boy with a homeless furlough fos
a coy fires:de and somebody to talk
to: to say nothing OF those picturesque
needs for coffee and sandwiches.
books and doughnuts, postal cards and
needles and thread on which so much
drama has been founded.
But the particular message brought
back to Yves. VirSirjE by Mr.. Stew
euson and Miss Caldwell is that these
needs have only been half filled; that
there are factory girls whose tired
little bodies, have not adequate rest;
that there are environments still In
need OF Y. W. C. A. hostess houses;
and worst and most pitfful need Of all,
there are numbers and numbers OF
bleak lonely billets cover there"
where the hits Of the 2. NJ. C. A., the

the Jewish Welfare Board and the
Salvation Army have not yet been
built.
These organizations It was stated
at the conference have only had sufd-
Gent funds to follow the billets for
1000 troops while there are other
thousands and thousands OF boys bill
leted in groups of five hundred with
never a sign to remind them that the
ones for whom they are fighting are
standing back Of them and never q
thought to divert them from the bur
den Of the fight. And it is to follow
these smaller groups where each heart
needs comforting as much as the thou
sand hearts Of the larger groups that

ing made by the seven welfare organ
izations.
Having built the huts wherever the
huts are needed, it is the further am
b:tion Of the seven organizations then
to take comfort and hope to that most
unhappy American boy In Europe, the
boy in the German prisons; so all who
contribute to the coming drive will
give help where help is most needed

FROM DEATH IN WELL

of the accident no one was near the
house except the child's mother ana
Mrs. r. G. Register.
The child had been playing with
chickens on the back porch. He went
to the well. thirty feet deep, with a
surface of seven feet of water The
wall lacked seven feet of being fin
ished The well digger had gone
home while waiting for material to
nish, and had placed some decayed
boards over 1t.
When the child was missed, his
mother and Mrs. Royster ran to the
we'll The broken boards told what
had happened. The men were all in
the woods. no help was near. Mrs.
Register ran for a rope and rang the

handed him out. Aid soon arrived
and she was drawn out by a rope.
