The work still continues in the
Navy to it's full extent. We still
have $4,000 workers in all parts of the
world, and SO far as we know this
work will have to be continued for
one and possibly for two years. The
great need for it among soldiers in

among the remnants left in France
of the Russian and Chinese laborers,
will continue to be felt

A Gigantic Task.

Hf one could have four or five years
in which to perfect such an organiza-
ton and pick out trained men for It's
different heads Of departments, tho
work would be one Of great magni-
tude, but when faced with the need of
beginning the work Immediately and
doing that enormous amount of
business. or even more the first year,
said, as every sensible business man
would say, that 1t was an impossible
ity to undertake and do it we'll
Our reply to Gen. Pershing was sent
just as / was sailing for home. All
our secretaries were anxious Ito do
this larger work. and our reply was
that we would comply with the re-
quest Of Gen. Pershing, subject to the
approval of the war work council in
New York. But while was on the
) water our secretary made a positive
agreement with Gen. Pershing, so that
the matter was settled without hav-
ing been voted on by the ;executiVe
committee. It was thus before US to
perform the task as best we could.
AS a reason for wishing tpspass the
canteen service to our association.
Gen. Pershing and members of his
STAFF pointed out that the service had
always been a great source Of COM
plant In the Army. They felt that
they were passing US lemon" but
were sure we could do the work bet
ter than any other organization,
though the general had no doubt that
we would suffer from the same criti-
cism as that to which the quarter
masters department had been sub
jected in past years. We thus accept
ed the task. and the question on
which we should be judged is not
whether we have been entirely sue
cessful in our management of the
canteen, but whether our organiza-
tIon has handled it as well as any
ither could have done. the quarter
masters department included.
I am willing to admit that we only
did SO per cent of the job that was
needed to give perfect service to the
boys, but must also quote members of
the staff to the effect that we have
done the work far better than they
had ever believed we could.

ruins of building in which they said
there were six wounded American SOL
diers when it caught fire. They res
cued four of those men. When the
officer in command ordered his men
to retire, saying it was impossible to
get the other two. one of these Y. M.
G. A. secretaries asked for a helper.
and with a soldier went in and
brought out the other two. AS l trav-

Is unjust, for rs per cent of the men
that went overseas asked for service
in the front line trenches.
Now, as to what the writer has said
moral welfare of the American dough-
boy" l would say that from the start
the moral welfare of the American
soldier was the great problem that
faced Gen. Pershing, and he sum-
moned every one and every influence
that could be of help to make a clean
Army. There were seven Organiza-
tions which the government selected
to aid Gen. Pershing in this task.
They all co-Operated with the medical
staff of the Army. without saying 20
whom the praise belongs, for we all
had a share in it, the result is that
Gen. Pershing has held and is send
ing home a clean Army, and that OBJ
ject has been accomplished in way
never before known in the history of
the world The medical profession
has had it's part, but it has needed
something more to hold men clean
morally.
The Y. NJ. c. A. is religious organi-.
zation; so is the Salvation Army and
SO is the Knights of Columbus. These
organizations, along with the chap
fains, have represented the church
to the soldier, and just as much as
the church is needed at home, so is it
needed overseas, and If religion 10
worth anything to anybody, it is q
help and comfort to the men who are
away from home and facing death and
suffering pain in the hospital. While
there are many here at home who do
not wish to attend religious services.
so there are others who feel that such
services are not needed over there.
But I wish to sy that sucn ss.rvices
are free, and that men need not at
tend them except of their own free
will and desire. The secretaries who
have addressed those religious meet
ings may have been, some Of them,
good; some of them uninteresting.
Some may have presented religion
in an appealing way, while others may
not have had that capacity. But
personally know that these secre-
taries are besieged all hours of the
day and night for guidance and help
and advice, and of all the problems
that are troubling the soldier boy.
And 1 am sure he has received the
comfort and encouragement which
have helped him to meet the difficult
ties by which he is confronted.
