buildings and equipment. 1t is the
sense of the leaders Of these organiza-
tions that the money with which they
were enabled to finance their work was
contributed for the benefit Of the army
and navy men. Therefore they have
no hesitation about turning over their
equipment to the government.
Buildings Present Problem
At some Of the army posts there arc
costly permanent buildings erected by
the Young Mems Christian Association
before the war. What disposition will
be made OF these has not been de-
termined. There is similar situation
regarding the chapel of st. Cornelius
the Centurion on Governors Island.
This building is owned by Trinity rar-
ish. New York City. The vicar, by
virtue of his appointment, holds the
honorary title of post chaplain, yet he
holds no regular commission in the
army. The property on Governors
Island is secured to Trinity parish by
Act of Congress. Some of the perman-
ent buildings of welfare organizations
are secured by legislation and it was
stated here that the War Department
had no authority to cause the work in
these buildings to be taken over by the
military.
The Morale Branch of the army dur
ing the war operated almost without
funds. 1t laid out an elaborate pro-
gramme and turned to the welfare
bodies for the money to which was
given ungrudgingly. The civilian or
ganizations furnished nearly everything
but officers pay.
Now it IS proposed to make the
budget for welfare work a part of the
army appropriation. The officers of the
General Staff have expressed the opin-
ion that work so closely related to the
activities of the army should be fl
nanced by the government and not by
an appeal for funds
The same view was expressed bv the
officials of the Navy Department and
by nava officersl.
The decision of the War Department
Will IN no way affect the work of the
American Red Cross, which is a part
of the army itself, its workers holdnig
and being subject to mill
tary discipline.
In the next few weeks detailed re-
ports are expected from camp COM
manders and from General Munson as
to the work of the morale branch of
the general staff. Decision will be
given as to whether to entrust the well
fare work permanently to the morale
branch or whether to centre the activ-
tiles in the mlitarized Commissions on
Training War Activities.
The peculiarly religious work of the
welfare organizations will be assured
by the chaplains. But the dis
position of the educational, entertain
ment and athletic programmes is wait
ing on the reports of the success OF
the morale branch.

All Activities of the Seven
Civilia a II Organizations
Are Taken Over Drcct-
ly by the Government
Old Funds Will Be Used
After They Are Exhausted,
Uncle Sam Will Defray
All the Expense Himself
Ne,c York Tribune

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Following
the rehabilitation of the army and the
return to the basis of the regular es-
tablishment, welfare work will be taken
out of the hands of the United War
Work organizations. This policy has
been definitely decided upon by Sec
retary Baker and the General Staff
There is some doubt as to whether
the work will be taken over by the
morale branch of the General Staff or
committed to the care of the Com
mission on Training Camp Activities.
Some time ago this commission, of
which Raymond B. Fosdick is chair
man. was completely mlitarized with
the exception of its head. Mr.. Fosdick
is soon to leave for the seat of the
league of nations, where he is to be
assistant secretary under appointment
b. President Wilson.
While the commission was being
lnlitarized the morale branch of the
General Staff, under the direction of
Brigadier General Munson, was send
ing" g"Keep'em Happy" officers into every
post and camp. These officers were in
structed to supervise the recreational
cnd educational activities Thus the
~elfare bodies came under direct armv
control.
Will Use Balance of Fund
When, last week, the War Denart-
ment directed the removal of civilian
relief organization representatives
from the transports, it was seen that
3 new policy was being made operative
in every branch of military activity.

Cuestionlng as to what disposition
would be made of the remainder of
;he huge fund collected for the seven
Organizations represented in the re-
cent drive for money. Recent meet
ings of these bodies have resulted in
apportioning the remaining amounts
- that the army and navy will receive
tic benefit of the expenditures, even
Tough the civilian societies do not
actually disburse the amounts.
In the case of the transports the
welfare societies have agreed to
.nance the work, although under COM
''ete military control, on the same
hasis as if their own workers were
actually on the ships. All the equip
.aent for the entertainment of the
aoldiers will be provided
The expense is pro-rated among the

1Hnds was launched. On this basis
the Y. NJ. c. A. pays about IS per
