The map of the western front is corrected
I'D to the minute with small multicolored
pin heads representing the troops of the
various nationalities. Latest dispatches
have caused the moving back or forward
of few pins within the last few hours.
Here and there are seen miniature Amer

Americans, but the correspondents have
been asked to forget these exact locations

What the Y. NJ. G.. A. Means
To the Men at the Front

for the men. Sometimes circumstances
make it impossible to have more than one
tent, in which case it has to be made the
best of.
Outside these tents you will usually find
a small square roped platform for boxing
bouts, also for addresses or music. Elsie
Janis and other players have appeared
more than once in these amateur prize
rings. Usually you.wili find at least one
soldier serving behind the counter, help
ing the Y. NJ. c. A. secretary. 1t Is
detail the soldiers like.
Also you will find baseball bats and
balls and gloves. The men are even more
crazy about baseball and athletics at the
front than they are at home.
Still nearer the front the tents disap-
pear and huts are found in ruined build
ings, in old barns, wherever a counter
can be slung up and there is room for
piano and a couple of chairs and table
for the boys to write letters on. Still
further up to the front the huts descend
below ground. There is no piano, moth
ing but letter paper and supplies, for the
men are not permitted to gather in crowds
for fear Of drawing German shell fire.
Here secretaries of the Y. NJ. C. A.
work with gas masks around their necks
and steel helmets on their heads, and
here they are left pretty much to their
own devices 1t is in these huts that per-
sonality counts, for during the greater
part of the time the secretary in charge
has nothing to give to the boys but com
partnership.
When you see soldier taking the sec
rotary aside to show him the picture of
his best girl that just came in letter, or
dragging him away depressed because no
letter came at all and because he had to
talk to somebody about it, there you see
the real work of the Y NJ. C. A. with our
army. 1t is the real thing, the furnish
ing of companionship and advice and fel-
lowship; the lending of a willing and tol-
Grant ear. It is the biggest job Of all

ZEN WHO GET THE S # Nl the WEEKLY NOTE WAR

meetings are often enlivened by alleged
exhibitions of wit on the part of one or
two Of the newspaper men, while dis
cussiOns or even friendly or humorous
arguments as to the propriety of giving
out news often interrupt the more serious
phases of the conferences.
With Secretary Daniels it is rare in
deed when the element of humor and
informally is lacking. Mr.. Daniels him
self generally has good story for the
confidential ears of his fellow newspaper
men," Even at the meetings with Secre-
tary Baker on the latters busiest DAYS
there is the same atmosphere of infor-
mality. Mr. Baker calls q number of the
men by their first names, does not object
to being cross-examined searchingly, Dor
rows match to light his pipe from one
of the men sitting on the far corner of
his desk, adjusts himself comfortably in
his chair, with one leg under him, and
says, "All right, gentlemen, fire away"
But at the conferences with Gen. March
all this informality is lacking. 1t is as if
every man present wore a Uniform and
the General were their superior officer.
1t reminds one of class in school with
a very businesslike, earnest teacher anx-
ious to exclude all irrelevant matter from
the questions at issue.
The time set for the Saturday confer
ences is now IL 80, and if any Of the

IHAVE just come from the American
i front, where l have been from end TO
end of a certain division, in its bases
and out where its front lines are face to
face with the Boche and are under con-
slant FIRE l went to see what the Y NJ
C. A. was doing and how it was doing it.
In the largest city in the area where
there are a great many troops stationed
or passing through there are two Y. NJ.
C.. A. clubs, one for officers and one for
men.
The officers club is in q beautiful old
home with walled garden. 1t is really
a club, with lounge, reading rooms, din
ing room and sleeping quarters. Excel
lent meals are served at a nominal cost
and the officers are made to feel abso-
lutely at home They own the place.
One Y. n. c. A. man and two women
are in charge.
The enlisted mems club is at the other
end of town in larger but equally pleas
ant building with sunny court. The
court is filed with chairs and tables where
meals are served. On the first floor is a
canteen, which is patronized every day
by hundreds of customers who come in
apparently as much to talk to the young
women behind the counter as to buy chloe
olate or oranges or cookies or cigarettes.
Across the hall is a reading room
stocked with magazines. Next is loaf
ing room with piano, and behind that is
a writing room provided with envelopes
and paper and all facilities. There is a
dining room and kitchen, too.
Upstairs are a billiard room, wash
rooms and other lounging rooms. The
place is full from morning until late at
night 1t is the property Of the men and
they make use of it with entire freedom
and without restraint.
As you get away from the town you
find the Y. NJ. C. A. occupying huge tents
side by side, one for the officers and one
