Iowa Aviator Says Association DID
Hard Work in France.

Des Moines, April 2.-"i found the

lent and helpful institutions In France
said Capt. James Norman Hail. OF Col
fax. probably Iowa's best known avion,
in talking Of his experiences,
IF one may judge by the use which
the men made of the Y. NJ. G. A. organ
izatons, then there IL no question in
my mind as to the usefulness and ex-
cellent nature of the work being done
IN France saws Captain Hall.
Il used always to stop at the Y hotel
in Paris and all of their aanteens and
clubs for officers and men were al
ways filled with soldiers
The concerts which they gave were
of the Very finest kind. and I frequent
ly attended them when on leave. The
audiences We're most enthusiastic.
II want to spak particularly of one
bit of'work being done in Paris by
Y woman, Mrs. Lewis Chase. She re-
ceived permission from the organiza-
ton TO rent a large homelike apart
ment where she keeps open house for
enlisted men only. Every night in the
week Sundays included she has
whole house full OF boys who are in
town on leave. or are connected with
the army organization in the vicinity
of Paris. =. Chase's job is mighty
important one in my opinion. This is
only one of the many fine things being
done by the Y all over France.
Little unpleasant incidents in, con-
nection- with the Y of which some OF
the soldiers have been making much
ado are not at all typical. The sad
thing is that too many soldiers are al
together too willing to enlarge on such
stories FORGETTING all Of the really fine
things being done for them by the Y.
NJ. G.. A.
while no organization is beyond
criticism. and the is no exception, it
appears to be the AMERICAN custom to
criticise something. Personally I think
it great, pity that so many should
forget the innumerable splendid things
the is doing and think only of their
mistakes. which are very few it seems
TO me in comparison with their really
worth while work"
