from overseas, there will be a need for
at least four hundred secretaries for
at least several weeks.
Seventy secretaries are serving the
towns and outposts along the Mexican
border this phase of Y. M. G. A. ac-
tlvity having been materially enlarged
since the armistfce. Apparently 1000
miles of border territory is now being
covered, the greater part of it by itin-
Grants in light delivery cars, in which
the secretaries carry full supply Of
books, stationery, portable motion pic
ture machines, athletic equipment. In
number of the isolated villages where
troops are stationed the Y. M. G. A.
hut Is the only entertainment feature
and the soldiers share their privileges
with the civilian populations. Every
border outpost Is now being reached
by the ~" men, and the work will con-
tinue as long as there are soldiers to
serve.
