centers of this country, and each will
be a specialist. A large number of

n. &. Wilbur Back From Honolulu

n. G. Wilbur, who resides at 2O9
Fifth street northwest, arrived home
Saturday afternoon after seeing some
sixteen months service with the Third
Z 5. Engineering Corps, the Oldest
organization Of the Engineers connect
ed with Uncle Sans forces. When
he enlisted Mr.. Wilbur was first sent
to Jefferson Barracks and from there
transferred to TT. Mcdowell, Califor-
MIA. From there his company was
sent to the Hawaiian Island where

Biugman of Stanley, who was mem
Der of the hospital staff at these bar
racks. At this camp there were five
regiments of infantry, four companies
of coast artillery, three regiments Of
drafted native troops, one regiment
Of cavalry, the famous Fourth, the

Of mutiny at times. Some Of the vet

on the islands for four years. Mr.
Wilbur says the climate Of the islands
is ideal, being very equable, varying
not more than 40 degrees the year

The Red Cross are held in the high

Arrange Chest for Charitable Worl

The Campaigns Financial Appeal
Committee of the Association of Com
merce has taken the preliminary steps
for chest for charitable and quasi
charitable funds in the city of Minot.
Every year in the neighborhood of
$4,000 is paid by the citizens OF Mi
not for charity both in and outside OF
Minot. Under the plans for chest
it is believed that the appeals can be
taken care of nicely for $4,000, cut
ting out the cost of sending solicitors
to Minot. Under the present condi-
tions no one really knows just how
much money is being paid for charity,
but with chest there will be a check
on all funds paid out. Individual dom
ors will be given card and when APP
peals are made to him, he will refer
the solicitor to the charitable chest
committee.

THE aY" DEFENDED

Associate Secretary +. F. Runyon
sends the Leader a letter from
San Francisco headquarters In de-
fense of the Y. NJ. c. A., from
which the following excerpts are
taken:
"When il is considered that the
Y. NJ. C. A. operated $500 huts
at home and overseas. seven times
as many as all other welfare agen.
cies combined: that II had 10000
men and women war workers, vir-
tually ten times as many as all the
other agencies: that nine Y. M.
C. A. workers were killed In France,
thirty-one died from exposure or
overwork, twenty-three were Sc
riously wounded or gassed, hun.
dreds received minor injuries. ten
were decorated for bravery and
others cited in army orders for
similar service under duress. II
would appear that the organization
had at least been actively engaged
in looking after the welfare OF the
fighting men.
"The Y. NJ. C. A. lost thousands
of dollars on the canteen the gov
ernment requested II to take
over: II sent its men wherever the
American soldier was sent; il was
forced to meet conditions which ap.
peared insurmountable: ii rendered
q red-blooded service overseas and
because a few men may have been
below standard It's whole personnel
should not be assailed.
ut is not true that II profiteer-
ed; it is not true that It sold gift
tobacco Intentionally; It Is not true
that II failed TO serve the men In
the front line trenches; II is not
true that ii was a failure in France.
at is true that II furnished hum
dreds Of warm. comfortable huts;
entertainments, motion picture
shows, lectures. religious services;
that it provided paper and envel-
opes. books and magazines. Also,
