LAND,


Paris.-Thirty sailors off an Ameri-
can war vessel hired a motor truck and
drove nine miles to get to the Y. M. 9,
A. club in a famous French city. / ask
ed them why.
Because it's regular hangOut," one
Of them said, and another added, "Be'
cause you get white bread with butter
On 1t, and eggs fried on both sides and
coffee with piano accompaniment"
AS soon as l broke into the place ]
found why men would ride nine miles
pm truck to loaf there from eight un-
Ill eleven.
1t wasn't the sort Of place folks in
the United States imagine a Y. M. G.
A. to be. 1t was a swelterlngly hot
plight, and the broad front steps were
Tined from end to end with men In
khaki and men in navy blue. They
were gassing and smoking until the
place looked as If the captain had
ordered smoke screen to help him
through the submarine zone.
From the street you could hear a
piano doing business and a lot more
men in uniform bowling, Joan Of
Arc" If the mothers of these boys
could have heard that racket their
hearts would have dropped off pound
Of weight and increased their beat by
ten to the second. They sang as If
they were glad to be alive.
Right on the Job.
And then somebody busted up the
game. A sailorman came in and made
the announcement that the driver Of
their truck refused to take them back
to quarters again, and 1t was walk
Of nine miles on hot night or a
stretch in the brig for them. Gloom
descended. Then somebody turned
around and beloved, "Where's one of
them Y guysT"
A "Y" guy happened to be on the
spot and in second he was surround
ed, not by crowd of men who were
Rngry or in a mood to demand some
thing, but by fellows who were mighty
courteous in an unpleasant situation.
That was something worth remarklng,
and 1t made you sort of glad to be
around.
They put the thing up to the "Y"
guy and one fellow said sort of bash
ful-like, 1--WE don't want to act like we
was putin this up to you. 'Tain't
your fault, but"
1t was apparent they had gotten the
Idea somehow that you could depend
on 'Y" guy to get move on him, and
the "Y" guy allowed as much.
"Sure, it's up to u.s." he said, that's
why we're here"
Inside of twenty minutes he was
back with big truck with a red trl-
angle on the side of 1t. He tucked the
thirty sailormen into 1t and off they
went to keep their appointment with
their boss.
That, quite likely is one reason why
they rode nine miles to spend an eve
ming in the Y. M. G. A., because they
knew somebody was on the job.
Like You Owned the Place.
Another reason is that you don't have
to knock, show a ticket, wlggle your
first finger or roll over and play dead
to get in. You just walk in like you
were there to fOreclose a first mort

SIX AMERICAN HELLO GIRLS
RENDER VALIANT SERVICE IN
YANKS DRIVE ON ST. MIHIEL

The following story take from the
Stars and Stripes, the American Ex-
peditionary Forces official organ,
tells of the plucky service rendered by
six American "hello" girls in the
Yanks' recent successful drive in
clearing the st. Mihiel salient of the
Hun:
"Six women operators of the Signal
Corps-six American girls who jump
ed at the chance to be there-were in
at the start of the st. Mihiel push
of September IL, at the headquarters
of the First American Army.
During the six days that followed
the 12th's initial heave they kept on
their jobs, handling an average of
10000 words a day over the eight
lines they operated, and working any
hours that were asked Of them, day or
night.
"when they finally did move out Of
there, it was only to move with the
First Army's headquarters to another
part Of the line, where they arrived in
time to do similar yoen1an service
when the September 26 drive opened
on the front northwest of Verdun.
"The lucky half Chief Oper-
ator Grace D. Banker and Operators
Esther v. Fresnel, Helen E. Hill,
Bertha M. Hunt, Marie Large and

a total Of 225 girl operators all just
dying for the chance to go up for

the ones who were to go, so anxious
was the whole force to get crack
at the big show at close range.
"In fact, the only way that peace
could be kept in the Signal Corps

weren't picked for the headquarters
