 A Private's Approval
 The following is an extract from a letter from Pvt James .. Garcia. Of his return very recently to America: it is a voluntary statement. entirely unsolicited:
 ! The awful war is over and the world is thankful, oh. so thankful We. [ who have been in il, hope there will never be another.
 Everything seemed to cooperate in helping our soldiers, and sus- pect that is one reason why the allies ! had the greatest armed fOrSs the world ever saw.
 i T believe one of the most potent I factors for success in the overseas service, so far as l was able to ob- serve. was the wonderful work done ! by the Y. M. C. A. Red Cross and ether welfare bodies. They all did noble work, but ] know specially of the Y.' as there were so many more Of them than the others. Say, man, ! If you want to start something. just go into that northern sector and say something against the "
 Got Just Half Credit
 Naturally, they never got half the credit that was due them. They had ! the hardest bunch on earth to please The Angel Gabriel would seem a grouch to some of the fellows, but take it from me-and when 1 say me mean thousands of grateful Americans-they appear to us as nearly masters of the situation, diff ficult though 1t was, the comparatively limited number of men in service could possibly permit.
 "Of course, in the thousands of " men on duty, there must occasionally be a misfit and, once in a great while, a downright fake; but in proportion to the great number in service. I be- lieve they hold the worlds record. Tho canteen ''Jonah"
 What about overcharges at can teens?'
 That canteen business was Jonah. sure enough, but was forced on the ' by the military and. with all it's tremendous handicaps. the work was marvelously done.
 Another question: When you went into the canteens, what did you per sonally pay for, say, package of Camels?'
 ''As I remember, II or 12 cents. I never paid more than that.
 "'Yes, but what about candy and stuff?'

 "Did Wonderful Work
 The following is a statement from terhout, commanding company B. 11th infantry, fifth division, who was wounded in the Mouse river drive and was the first patient to arrive at the base hospital at Camp Cody:
 ."On my way home i heard quite a number of soldiers making criticism of the '. M. C. 4. snd it always makes me mad. All 1 saw of the work of this great organization. and all that have heard from reliable sources, is the wonderful work it did for the boys over there. When it comes to prof. teering. I know where they sold three packages of 'Camels' for a quarter and a bar of Hershey's candy for 10 cents, when they could not buy them for less than that and, if the boys didn't have the money (which was frequently the easel, they were often given Lhe bgoods oUIrighl In the front line trenches they gave these articles free, but have always thought they made a great mistake in trying to get into the trenches, as even the military couldn't keep up it's own supplies in many cases. When you ask any of the kickers a point blank question. they just simply can't prove a single thing of any moment that isn't to the credit of this great organization. have visited the buildings over there and know what am talking about"
