STATES "Y
CASE AFTER PROBE

NEW YORK, May George W. Per-
kins, chairman of the finance committee
Of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, made public here tonight his off,
cial report as investigator into the eff
cheney and service of the organizat tion
overseas. He went abroad with Morti-
mer L. Schiff, F. S. Brockman and John
r. Hall when criticism of the Young
Mems Christian Association was being
voiced in this country and returned to
make his report last week
THE Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion undoubtedly made mistakes" Mr..
Perkins said. But what it tried to do
was to respond to every call that the
Army made on it. 1t did not sidestep
any task that it was asked to perform"
Indicating the care with which man
and woman Young Mems Christian As
overseas work, Mr.. Perkins reported
overseas work. Mr.. Perkins reported
that out Of 100000 candidates 10000
were sifted out and considered in New
York, but finally only 1929 were sent to
Europe Last month the organization
had in Europe 5,693 man and 1851 wom-
an workers
"That the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation workers as a whole were brave
and unselfish is shown by the fact that
others were wounded" he declared.
Regarding the charge of profiteering
in supplies. Mr.. Perkins report said:
"One day we could get supplies sent
on a government boat without freight
charges. The next day the only way to
send them was to pay almost as much
freight as the goods cost. 1t will be
readily seen that it was almost impossi
BILE to arrive at anything like an average
cost price at which to sell these goods.
1.-The Young Mems Christian Associa
tion never solicited money for the pur-
pose of giving away its canteen supplies.
The statement has been frequently made
that the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation charged higher prices for can
teen supplies than the Army did. This
was true at certain periods when the
cost of transportation was exceedingly
high and when it was impossible to de-
termine costs accurately. But the final
results of the Young Mems Christian
Association service will show substAn-
tial loss.
"The Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion handled in France alone upward of
two billion packages Of cigarettes, 3d.
100000 bars of chocolate, $4,000, 600 cans
of smoking tobacco, 50.000.000 cigars,
60,000,000 cans of jam, 29,000.0 600 pack
ages Of chewing gum and 10000, 900 pack
ages of candy.
"These are only a few of the items
handled, but the size of these figures
should convince any one that it would be
financially impossible for the Young
Mems Christian Association to give it's
supplies away generally. Furthermore,
the Army does not favor any such
policy.
ION March / Of this year the Young
Mems Christian Association had in use
in France 587 buildings erected by itself,
596 under lease and 1872 centers in tents
and Army buildings. More than $780,
900 athletic articles were sold to soldiers
in 1918 and 1919..'

When one remembers that they kill
II, 1000, 600 germs to every cubic cent?
meter of the 100000 gallons of sew
age that come to them from Camp
Meade every day, it is easy TO see
why the utilities men assigned to-
the sewage treatment plant are some
what proud of calling themselves
Fighters" An expert will tell you
that the job is done well, for the
only part of the 'ten million" left
when the job is done is less than
thousand.
In France that would be called
moving them down."
These utilities men who stayed here
were just "out of luck as they
termed it, and they will not permit
anybody to cal them slackers or
names of that character because they

not call for rifles or cannon They

Lieut.. Russell Riker, who used to
be engaged in the same business for
the state of New Jersey (and who
disclaims relationship TO the Rikcr
millionaire druggists of New York
city,, is the man responsible for the
succe ssful operation of the plant.
When Senior Sergt. George T.
Hampton tells the lieutenant that he
hears that a few more colon bacilli
are floating down from the camp
mains, little added dose of chlorine
gas is turned on, and it is goodbye
for the little o!d bugs" These colon
fellows do not always mean the pres
ence of typhoid Gt might indicate
dysentery). but it is sign that is
promptly needed, for the typhoid
germ and the colon are twin souls
and they generally travel in the same
centimeter
All that Sergt. John Deighton has
to do if he wants to put the germ
on the run is to give them dose
of fifty pounds of the chlorine gas
each day and the rout is assured. He
is TIE chief inspector, while Hampton
has general supervision. Sergt. T. F.
