Soldiers Out Into No

No Job Too Small For The Biggest
Of Men

The American Y. M. G. A. is keep
ing its promises. American secretaries
are now, and have been for many
weeks, at work in the forward areas
along the battle front in France. To
an indeterminate number of Red Trf-
angle men 'over there" gas and she'll
fire and mud and actual battle are a
grim reality--a part OF the days

A personal letter of absorbing inter

HARRISON, president of the Pittsburgh
Y. M. c. A. and we'll known business
man of that city, who has been in
France on a special Y. NJ. c. A. Mis-
sion.
The Letter
Casualties had occurred among our
soldiers just before we arrived at our
village" the letter reads, land we were
ordered to get under cover of our de
suite. After a supper of chocolate, war
bread, and canned beef, the six OF us sec
retaries were ordered to the cellar OF
the ~ together with fifty soldiers who
happened to be in the old shell-torn
building, as the boche were beginning
again to shell the town. We took can
dies, big basketful of canteeh sup
plies, to last us in case we should have
to be dug out later, overcoats and blan-
kets. We fitted our gas masks on to
be sure they were working well, and
then settled down--or tried TON the
dungeon. We expected to have to stay
all night, but in an hour sentry call

Needless to say, slept none that
night with all the bang and noise out

started off for the trenches, each OF

canteen supplies besides our helmet,
gas masks, carried at all times at

There is this to be said in favor Of
Hindenburg he. did not run away
from Germany in the hour of its deep
distress. It is said that he forced the
kaiser to abdicate and directed that
the armistice be signed.St. Cloud
journal Press.
5 No, he did not run away because
there was no room for him in the
fivvers which carried the Doomed One
and his family Of monstrosities into
Holland. Whenqhe, asserts that he
forced the kaiser to abdicate and di-
rected that the armistice be signed he
is q liar. The kaiser never permitted
himself to be coerced by men Of the
Won Hindenburg stripe, who is now
engaged in attempting to. rally the
militaristic party, and appears, in a
measure, to be succeeding. To char
acterize Hfndenburg as a dirty dog
would be to do the dog an injustice.
