WILL CONTINUE WELFARE WORK
UNTIL EVERL YANK HOME

where these 1000 men are billeted. We
are also doing welfare work at Alon-
con for the troops passing there on
their way from Coblenz to Brest.
They stop at Aloncon to eat ano
change engines, during the hour there
the 'Y'' men and women pass out
doughnuts. ice cream cones and other
welfare stuff. The "Y'' never let's
any small opportunity pass UP for do
ing some welfare work like this. In
this instance our men and women
drive 35 miles with the materials.
This has been true all during the war
with the "Y'' work. when ever the
"Y" had the material and the trans
portation. yet YOU have heard the
"Y" criticised, tho the Army was to
furnish the canteen materials for the
"Y" to distribute. At times durine
the war they not only did not furnish
the materials: but took a large port of
the "Y's" transportation. The 'Y'
got the kick but did not reply to the
criticisms. II will all right itself some
day in the minds OF the average
doughboy when he asks himself seri>

they conform to the specifications laid
down by Senator c. l.. McNary in his
