Paris, Aug. S.-The 162 Fiji Island CTS included in the fighting personnel Of the Australian expeditionary force nave had their own Y. M. c. A. sec- retary With them in France
 From this association has grown plans for extension of work in the FIJI Islands when the Australian troops return home. Further it is reported that the success of the Fiji jan work will doubtless lead ts the extension of the association through the Australian field to other nearby islands.
 This is but one example of the universally of the Y. M. c. A. war work. An equally great work was performed with other nationalities and their appreciation showed the works value.
 In one of the Chinese labor camps in France, the Orientals wishing to honor some of their friends of the British and American Y. M. C. A. who Were visiting the camp asked permis- sion to provide the decorations at a dinner which was to be given for them by the camp officers. One fea- turc which was kept secret until the last minute was a table covering of hundreds of little paper triangles, each containing Chinese characters. Translated, the characters spelled the Chinese word "Happiness." Sir Ar thur Iapp tells this incident to show the appreciation of the Chinese regi- ments of the "" work and incident ly to illustrate the delightful court
 
 compliment.
 AS indicating the international character of the work done in the huts of the Foyers des Soldat (Union France -Americaine) it was reported that 36 different languages were spoken by the men who made use of the facilities offered at the "Y'' huts to the fighting men. Among these were many dialects particularly those of the French colonial troops.
 The success of the association work i'll China is due to three facts, &C., cording to J. J. Chl an, of the Chi nese department.
