Fosr departments of the French
Government have asked the American
\. W. {. A. to open social and recrea-
ton centers for girls employed by
them-tinance, Commerce, War and
Labor
Lieutenant Poncet of the Ministry
of Labor recently requested that this
Y. w. c. A. work be begun for girls in
his offices after seeing the social and
recreation centers which had been
opened at the request of the Ministry
OF War. Sixteen centers of this kind
are operated in six cities in France.
Three OF them are in Paris.

100000 YANkS ARE
Y. w. G.. A. VISITORS

Four hundred thousand persons and
more served I'm the cafeteria in one
year is the record of the Y. w. G. A.
Hostess House at Camp Lewis, Amer
lean Lake, Wash.
The ajority OF the 100000 diners
were mothers, wives, sweethearts and
friends who went TO the camp TO visit
their soldiers. The remainder were
soldiers themselves who broke the mo-
notOny of "chow" with home cooked
meals. In addition to all these guests,
$4,000 little children were cared for in
the nursery and the rest room served
10000 tired wives and mothers.
The workers at the information
desk received and answered $1,000
questions varying from how to get the
best connections to destination clear
across the continent, the rates of sol
diers' insurance and the kind OF Gre
tonne a girl bride should have in her
living room now that Private John Is
coming home from France. Eleven
thousand of these queries required tel
ephone conversations with various
company commanders relative to hunt
ing up a soldier whose parents had ar
rived unexpectedly.

The need and suffering throughout
all Russia was so great at the time
the Association was established that

words which we may utter seem
empty things, and a .'thank YOU
sounds formal and as cold as an ice
berg, but Mrs, Lindner and myself
wish our friends TO know how sincere
ly and deeply we appreciate the many.
many words of soothing hope and
loving sympathy, and offers of help
in any way possible; offers of hum
dreds of friends in Marion county,
and by letters from various parts of
the state, during the long and dis
tressing sickness and final death of
our lovable and much loved little boy:
We sincerely hope that we shall never
miss an opportunity to keep these
toknes of love bright by passing
them on. What we give of love and
kindness we still have; what we keep
of them is merely wasted.

New York, March 29.-Relief with
IN a few hours was forecast by the
weather bureau last night from the
March blizzard which swept the city
yesterday, paralyzing harbor traffic,
breaking many telegraph and tele-
phone lines AMI causing traffic con-
gestion unrivalled during this winter.
Lashed by gale that rose to a We
locity 0f ninety miles an hour, and
lost in the swirling snow, the Norwe-
gian bark Yola and the Standard Oil
bark Socony were driven ashore in
the harbor. Two men were caught
hal ia mile of shore in a small boat
and drowned when the craft capsized.
Many steamers due here, including
the troop ships Santa Anna and
Santa Olivia, were compelled to delay
entering the harbor.
