LETTER FROM OLNSTED

FROM GREAT LAKES
Enjoys His Work at the Naval
Training Station; Praise For
~" Service

Camp Paul Jones "Y." twelfth regi-
ment, Great Lakes, ILL.,, February p.
TO The Free Press: i have lit
tie time on this, Washington's birth
dew, so will write about few of the
events here. On account Nof the regi-
mental orders our building is closed on
Tuesday and Friday nights, which
are nights for which | am response
BILE. To Offset that we nave no mas
ter at arms and some days no detail
so I'VE have more work of that kind
to do now The changes in the navy
continue on account of rehabilitation
and recruiting. The release fever
still affects the Jackies, but some of
them come back within two weeks,
not finding things at home so appeal
ing as they Appeared.
The "Y'' force here. is being cut
down to meet the depletion in the
navy, but that is mostly met by
men who have been here some time
and are willing to resign and leave
the work to US younger 1nen in serv-
ice. We are making some mighty
good friends among the Jackies and
naval officers. You would fhear no
criticism of the "Y' here and we are
glad that the public is being properly
informed about the overseas work.
1t is fine work on the part of the
newspapers that they are threshing
the matter out and finding that in
the main the work, has accomplished
great things over there. One of the
most unjust criticisms has been that
the "Y' men did nothing at the hos
pitfalls, but when the people know that
(! the Red Cross insisted on that being
their specific work and the '.Y" men
conceded them the point, that crit
icism falls fat.
| I spend about four nights and one
day each week with my family. They
are both well. We are sorry to hear
| of the illness of friends at Garden
sCity We think of them often. We
have had quite lot of snow the last
two days but tits warm here so II
thaws quite fast.

A meeting of the Red Cross was
held at the high school building On
Wednesday evening to consider the
request of the Mankato Red Cross
that funds be turned over to build a
tubercular sanitarium in that city.
The request was not enthusiastically
received and the funds will be held
here until adyices can be secured
from the general Red Cross as to
their disposure, says The Mapleton
Enterprise. 1t is the prevailing
opinion that ii there is not demand
for the funds for world wide or ma
tional use that the money should re-
main here where it was raised and be
used in canteen work or for scme-
thing in behalf of the soldiers. Mrs.
John Johnson was selected to rep
resent the organization at the county
meeting to be held at MaDkato on
Sunday afternoon. The selection of
this date for the county meeting was
also criticised as it was one making
it almost impossible of attendance
from outside points. A part of the
supplies on hand were given to the

thoroughly that she can stand a dry
