BOYS CARED FOR

NEW YORK, April 25,-The success
Of the Hall OF States. established by
New York wal camp community serv-
ice in the old rectory of Trinity church,
at % West Twenty-fifth street. New
York city, has become so marked that
a similar activity has been established
at Newport News, Va, by war camp
community service to care for the re-
turning men in the service,
Already Newport News has been put
into gala attire. The streets leading
from the piers to the center Of the city
have been profusely decorated and the
returning men are made 10 feel their
welcome from the moment they see the
pier.
BGt the welcome is only the first step
toward making the boys feel that their
feet are again on their native land.
After they have passed through the
long lines OF banners and signs Of
Welcome Home" they come to a group
Of nine buildings especially erected for
their comfort. Through the co-opers-
ton of the Red Cross eight Of these
buildings, each 2lxl02 feet In linen
sion. have been obtained by war camp
community service. These will furnish
a general headquarters for distinguished
Newport News from their respective
states to welcome their own boys
home. The other buildings win be de-
voted to housing representatives Of the
various states grouped in 10 divisions.
Here each state will have messages
from home folk waiting for the expected
troops, and papers from their home
towns.
Already arrangements have been
made for getting in close contact with
the various states, Through the wal
department a message will indicate the
departure from France of the troops
destined for debarkation at Newport
News. This win give All opportunity TO
notify the home states that official and
private delegations may start East or
North TO be on the spot when the men
come off the ships.
In this way 1t Is expected that a dis
ttnctly home touch will add to the well

There are already indications that the
reception movement will extend to
Charleston, S. c., and possible to the
ports on the Atlantic coast where men
are to come home. 1t Is estimated that
fully a million and a half men are due
TO arrive in this country, but as they
can only be transported at the rate of
about 10000 a month, it will be fully
six months before the last Of the Amer
leans who can be relieved from duty In
