\. N. c. A IN France HAS DONE AS WELL i
AS our ARMY" SAYS VIM ALLEN WHITE

You have heard how three workers
have been locked UP for enbezsling
money entrusted to them by dough-
boys about to go over the top. We
have had too many ministers without
executive ability. Some ministers have
gone down before the lure Of the girls
on the Paris boulevards. Then we
have had some men who used the Y
as means of getting to France to
see the war. and whose interest flag
ged as soon as they had been around
little. We have had small men with
big heads. who lacked tact and who
couldn't get along with the boys. But
take all these misfits together, and
they have made only a small percent
age of the whole. The great body OF
the workers are sincere. whole heart
ed men who have made real sacrifices,
and whose families have undergone
sacrifices, in order that they might
come.
NO ExToRTIoNATE PRICES.
Charges of extortionate prices
are not fair. At the outset. when
the army directed the Y. M. C. A.
to operate the post exchanges, we
charged prices that would cover cost
of goods and transportation. and
margin for waste and spoiAge. This
caused protest. For some time the
has charged commissary prices
and stood a loss for the rest.
"On one occasion obtained a sup
ply of smoking tobacco which I sold
at three cents sack. The rumor
started that charged 4 franc a
sack, and I couldn't head 4 off.
I'VE have given away FREE to the
soldiers more supplies than all the
rest of the relief organizations put to-
gether, with the exception of the Red
Cross.
1.-THE Y. M. c. A. stands we'll with
the high officers of the army Our
most merciless critics are the lieu
tenants. AS for the doughboys, they
do not have an easy time Of it over
here in the mud, with their pay often
far In arrears, and with the mails
from home slow and irregular. The
men have their personal troubles;
many a man has come to me for COM
fort when his girl back home has mar
ried someone else. The doughboys are
perfectly free to take out their crouch
on the Y. M. C. A, and they do It,
The offers them a safety valve. 1t
seems discouraging at times to work
your head off and get nothing but
growls and sneers and looks of aver
sion. but am confident that judgment
will be more mellow in time"
WHAT w. A. WHITE SAYS.
I asked William Allen White what
he thought of the work of the Y. M.
c. A. ut has done as well as the
army" was his comment
My own opinion is that the Y. M.
G. A. has been of inestimable service
to our men abroad, in spite of all
mistakes. The cheerful reading and
lounging rooms all over France, the
100000 spent for athletic equip
ment the equal amount invested in
books, the ten million sheets of let
ter paper and envelopes given away
free weekly, the constantly crowded
canteens, all have given the maxi
mum of good. The boys may speak
darkly of the Y, but 1t is their club,
just the same, and they make a
world of use of 1t. Some day they
will speak better of 1t.

kent FRUIT CROP
IS NOT DAMAGED
Senator Barnard Says His
Crop Has Not Been Hurt
by Cold Weather
STRAWBERRY CROP
MAY SUFFER SOME

Fruit is in fine condition and has
not been damaged in the least, as far as
1 can see"
This statement was made this morn
ing over the telephone by former presi-
dent protein Of the Senate John A.
Barnard, OF Camden, Kent county, to a
representative Of The Evening Jour
nal. Mr.. Barnard stated he had just
returned frOm an inspection Of his or
chards and found that no damage TO his
peaches, apples or pears had been done
by the sudden cold weather.
Senator Barnard even went further
and stated that unless something unfOr-
seen should happen the prospects are
fine for a banner crop Of most all tree
fruits, especially peaches and apples in
Kent county and It is understood that
the same condition prevails in Sussex
county. Senator Barnard does not grow
strawberries, but said there is a possi-
bility Of that fruit having been dam
aged because Of it being so low TO the
ground.
The reason given by Senator Barnard
as to why fruit has not been hurt by
the unprecedented cold snap is the fact
that there was a high wind during the
cold nights and days which had the
effect Of drying out the buds and max
ing It possible for them to Withstand
even slight freezing weather without
suffering damage. He said there had
been slight frosts this week, but even
that was not sufficient TO do any dam
age IN his orchards.
Other growers in the lower part Of
the country have also reported that
their crops have not been hurt TO any
extent.
According to Professor C. a. McCue,
horticulturist at Delaware College, con-
ditions are different in that section. He
says ne inspected the college farm
peach orchard this morning. and found
that the weather had caused much
damage.
Some farmers say that wheat, II not
seriously damaged has al least been
greatly retarded by the cold spell.
