| Dear Mr.. Bennett
Last night was mail night and in my
mail received The Journal and, as |
always do when ! receive it, | read
everything in it,. even to the adver-
tisements. Also | read letter from
one Of the boys from home written
over here and he spoke of what the
Salvation Army and X. of G. had done,
also he registered kick at what the
\, NJ. G. A. had done over here, and
! don't think he is fair with them, for
they handled all of the candy, cigars,
cigarettes and other things that we
used to get at the quartermaster's and
eanteens back in the States, so they
couldn't very well give it away. For
my part think the "Y" has done its
best over here and so far as their not
giving anything away can't quite
agree with him. for when | was up at
the front, attached to the 304th En-
gineers ! found the "Y" giving out hot
cocoa to the boys as they went up and
down the road going TO and from the
front, which wasn't so very far away.
/ also know d college professor over
60 years old who served with our in
fantry and gave out hot cocoa as long
as he could get water that was fit to
drink (the Lord knows there was
plenty of other water for it rained
about every day. and then advanced
with them and gave out chocolate as
long as it lasted, and he even helped to
bring up ammunition to them. ! also

He bases the statements in his let
ter upon information obtained by him
self and the employees Of his theaters
throughout the country in converse

Albee declares that he personally
knows "of the high esteem in which
the theatrical profession holds the -
M. c, A. and all kindred institutions
that have done so much from the be-
ginning of the war in the foreign
countries.
He speaks also of the assistance
that actors and artists have so freely
rendered and are still rendering, to
the Association, saying: "The Theatre
cal people, as a whole, have done
splendid work, especially the artists,
from the beginning of the war, and
are still doing 1t, being active in en-

II have read some wonderful letters
from artists abroad connected with the
Young Mems Christian Assn. who
have been entertaining soldiers, who
deny that there is any condition exist
