| this number could have been so care
fully selected that each one would
| have been a star performer; that
working in this way, the Y. M. c. A.
| could have made pronounced sue
cess and would have had no criticism
Had the Y. M. C. A. followed such
a course, it would clearly have been
linking much more of it's own repu-
alton than of the service it could
lender. 1t is obviously ridiculous to
+ say that the Y M. c. A. could have
performed greater service with 500
very competent men and women than
it performed with IL 900 or 10000 men
and women, some of whom proved
incompetent.
THE Y. M. C. A. never solicited
money for the purpose of giving away
its canteen supplies. If the Y. M. C. A.
had given away canteen supplies in
France on the scale of its sales, it
would have spent in this activity alone
at least as much money as it's entire
expenditures in France for all its
activities, The constant policy of the
Y. M. C. A. was to sell canteen sup
plies as nearly as possible at cost,
and to bend every effort, when fighting
was in progress, to furnish the men
at the front with supplies free of
charge where it was at all possible
TO get the goods to them
"The Y. M. G. AS definite program
in Europe from the beginning, and
continuously, has been to bend every
effort and use every dollar it could
obtain to occupy the leisure time of
the soldiers, and to do this with vari-
GUS forms of entertainment, athletics,
worth while educational activities, etc.
Can there be any doubt that every
father and mother, every wife and
sister, and the men themselves, will
approve the Y. M. c. IS course in
this respect? Is it not infinitely better
to do everything possible to occupy
the leisure time and to fill the long
dreary evenings of the soldiers than
to use the money in giving away a
larger quantity Of cigarettes. choco-
lates and other similar articles?
THE Y. NJ. C. A. tried to respond to
every call that the Army made on it
1t never hositated to tackle any job
it was asked to undertake; it did not
sidestop any task it was asked to
perform. 1t took the position that it
was in Europe to do all it could, as
best it could that when it was called
on to render service Of any kind, its
duty was to respond in the same spirit
that the soldiers did, and not hold back
because adverse circumstances might
make it impossible to meet with max
imum success. The Y. sought service,
not fame. Surely every contributor of
money will approve the Y. M. c. AS
course in this respect.
THE vast work it has accomplished
and is accomplishing in Europe can
never be gagged at it's true worth ex-
cept by those who have seen it in its
entirety. Whatever imperfections may
have existed the results achieved are
unQuestionably so beneficial as to be
Il source of deep satisfaction to those
who so unselfishly served the cause
and those who so generously contrib
utcd the funds that made the work
possible"
