By a Bond or be a Bondman.

America means the liberty of the
world; Germany means the bond
age of the world. Do you want to
be a German bondsmanq No, you
do not. Do you want the liberty
and freedom that America gives
you? Yes, you surely do.
If you were a German bondsman
you would be uttering the same
cry as the German people OF to-
day-the cry for liberty and free
dom.
The German people have never
had liberty and freedom as the
American people have, but the
United States and our allies today
are fighting for a worldwide
democracy and they are going to
have it.
America is now the leading
country in democracy, but we, the
people of the United States, can
not have liberty unless we win
this war and this war cannot be
won without money, therefore, do
your bit by buying a bond.
America is now leading /our
allies at the front and while our
boys at the front are giving their
lives for their country, why should
not we people who are at home
have heart and support the boys
who are fighting by buying a
bond?
There are at this time over
100000 of our boys over there
and while they are going cover

the top with the Liberty loan, for
it is up to us to do our part by
supporting them and the less
money we give the more lives 1t
will cost and the longer the war
will last. Are not the lives of our
boys by far of more value than
the largest bond that anyone can
purchase?

thence over practically the entire civ

was another fare-up of the disease.

the first year of it's existence?
To answer the question means figures
many figures. For the Y. M. C. A.
has sprung from small band of pio-
m ers, who arrived overseas with little
more than their trunks and plenty of
business of really amazing scope, to an
institution which is trying unreservedly
to do it's share toward bringing the war
e. g quick, successful conclusion.
In the year it has covered ali Of Al
lied Europe and penetrated into part OF
Asia. From France it moved across to
England to meet soldiers as they came
from America. 1t has gone into Italy,
into Greece, into Rumania, into Mesopo-
tamia. And through all the Russian
turmoil it has held to the job in that
country, patiently biding the time when
order shall return and Russia will again
hold up her head
Its work in France is, of course, most
important. Here, naturally, it has
focused attention. Here it has devoted
most Of its energies and concentrated
most of its effort II has made the Red
Triangle in France almost as familiar
as the French language is TO the natives.
The figures for the country tell story
all their own.
Begin, if you please, with the huts.
BY hut is meant every type of building
that bears the sign of the Red Triangle.
1t may be first class chateau or dug
out in the woods. The word is short
and popular; it has stuck ever since it
was first applied to the buildings in the
environments in the United States.
On August 1 the Y. NJ. c. A. was
operating with the American army in
France, as nearly as could be estimated
in the face of constantly changing con-
ditions, 1870 huts. At the same time
the Foyer du Soldat, the branch of the
Red Triangle with the French army, had
$50 huts and other agencies for serving
the poilus to bring the total number to
S31.
The 1,190 American huts included
every point of contact with the army.
They ranged from chateaus, as has been
said, to dugouts in the front lines. They
counted in rolling canteens, canvas
tents and rented buildings of various
kinds. The largest huts in France are
of special design, with an auditorium
FOR between 700 and 1000 men. They
are supposed to take care of 5000 SOL
diers without taxing their capacity or
the energies Of the secretaries who run
them.
Together with smaller huts of similar
type they numbered 40 Of tents there
were 800. 'Fhe remaining number con-
sisted of 100 rented buildings in per-
r1anent areas in the S. O. S. and 500
POINTS of contact not easy to classify be-
cause of their nature.

partment, now a big business in itself,

In France and Belgium our men. hay

must stand by to see that they do not
fall. There will be the work Of recon-
struction that will include in it's pro-
gramme the building up of the man and
the woman, morally and physically, as
we'll as the putting together of the walls
of the home. The victims of German in
vasion will be restored, as far as pos
sible. to a normal condition. That will
be work for our men and women in
France for many years to come.
AS long as our own American women
need the Y. w. G. A., and as long as the
French or the Belgian--or any other
women-need the Y. W. c. A., it will
stand by them.
There will be need of funds for this
work. The seven war work organza-
tions have united in an effort to raise it.
They want to raise $170,5O0,000; they
will come to you the week of November
