 Y. M. [. A.
Pronounces Criticism of "Mine. Defects of "Y' as "Un thinkable''

The war work 0f men in the uni form of the Red Triangle who foi. lowed the flag wherever it went, prov cd their heroism and devotion on the
 attle front and were always present to serve and comfort the American fighting men, says Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, will remain an enduring monument to the Y. NJ. e. A, Tt is unthinkable," he de- clares in a letter to the "" War Work Council, ''that criticism of min or defects here and there should be allowed to cloud for a moment the Splendid record made '-' this great association"
 His letter, made pu4 ly by the r. M. c. A., foi!l
 Only those who were brou..
 intimate contact with it, and cculd survey the whole field, are able to appreciate fully the great extent and value of the Y. M C. As work for our soldiers and sailors. In camps and training stations, at home and abroad, at the fighting front, on trans ports and at naval bases, it cheered and aided our fighting forces. It's halls and huts were not only social centers, furnishing wholesome recre- atfon and amusement, but were places for mental improvement and moral refreshment They were bits of Am erica set on foreign soil, reminding the boys of the homes from which they came.
 The men of the Red Triangle fol lowed the flag wherever it went, and were there to serve and comfort our brave boys. They proved their hero ism and devotion on the battle front number being comm ended for bray cry, and several sacrificing their lives in the line of duty.
 'It Is unthinkable that criticism of minor defects here and there should be allowed to cloud for a moment the splendid record made by this great Association. No big undertaking was l ever carried out without some i'm perfecttons, and no organization en- | gagged in such a stuDendous work, em- ploying so many men over a vast l area, could expect to carry 1t through without making some mistakes. But i so far as have been able to deter mine, these have been few and hardly i enough to be considered in compari. son with the magnificent service ren. dered. The war work of the Y. M fC. A. will remain an enduring monu- < ment to this great organization which IS founded for the uplift and welfare of the young men who are the brair and brawn, the dependence and hope ! of America. There has been in ou, time no more inspiring exemplifica. l tion of practical Christianity thar the work of the Young Mems Chris tian Association and other agencies which ministered to the comfort and welfare of our fighting forces"

INTER-ALLIED OLYMPIC GAMES
Former Dartmouth Man as Ath- letic Director for London Area of Y. M. 0. A. I.

London, April-David c. Macan- drews, Dartmouth, '98, well known in professional athletic activities about Boston, and San Francisco and one time Eastern league player, is helping whip the American troops remaining in the United Kingdom into shape for their part in the Inter-Allied Olympic games, which will take place at Joinville-le-Pont, Seine, France, this month. Before the Inter Allied
 Olympics come off there must be held the A. E. F. championships, and be- fore the A. E. F. championships there must be the Base Section 8, (the United Kingdom) championships, and before the base championships there must be several area championships, all for the purpose of picking by the elimination process, the representa- tive athletes for the Olympic games. All of which means that a very neat
 little piece of work lies ahead for
 Lieutenant W. H. Royle, the army
 athletic officer for the United King
 dom, and his assistants in the British
 Isles.
 Macandrews is the athletic director
 for the London area of the American Y. M. c. A. Inasmuch as this is the largest and most important area iI the United Kingdom and because
 Macandrews is a practical all-around athlete, coach and trainer, he is go ing to have a large slice of Lieuten' ant Royle's work delegated to him Just at present he is scouting ovei 1 the United Kingdom looking for tho material of which to build uB 5
 basketball team capable of touring France and the Rhineland and meet 1 ing the best that the A. E. F. cal l put Oh the court there.
 ] The material for athletic teams il ! Base Section will not be too great There are some 5000 American troop! now here and many of these may b. sent home within the next few weeks 1 so that Base Section 3 will probabl! ;! have less men to choose from thar I any other section of the A.

A. athletic directors between August and Decem- Der. 1918, easily established baseball as the leading sport of the American ooughboy abroad as well as at home. A further proof of the sports popu- iarfty is the fact that there were 3.000.00o interested spectators ts these games.
 The doughboy's baseball was divi- ded about equally between standard and indoor ball, the latter being really playground ball,-large ball and small bat played outdoors. employing in- door rules, small field, etc, and we'll fadapted by the "" for just such con- Attions as soldiers in closely crowded army camps find.
 Informal games are second In pop ularfty. showing that the grimneas of war did not make the American boy forget how 10 "tust play" in his rest moments. These informal games were notifications of the ring and circle. line and relay, ball passing games of youth, and were everywhere entered into with enthusiasm by the doughty warriors. Football came third, and following in order were set ting-up exercises, soccer, voliey-ba1l, hikes, basketball, boxing. quoits. track and field athletics, wrestling. tennis, rugby and cage ball, for all of which the Y. M. c. A. furnished free equipment.
 The popularity from the spectators point of view was vastly different in everything except baseball To the onlooker, boxing was second in i'm terest while football came third, and following in order were soccer, i'm formal games, wrestling, volley-b ball. baseball, with about equal interest in other sports.
 Tennis. like golf. was almost i'm possible owing to lack of suitable field and the extraordinary equipment needed ,

 GAMBLING HOUSE
But "" Runs It For Doughboy and Has Other Amusements in Place of Roulette and Faro.

Two New England girls, Miss Eliza beth Schlosser of Westport, Conn.,, and Miss Blanche Brocklebank of Boston, are serving hot drinks and cake at the luxurious gambling casino at St Malo, one of the famous watering places on the Breton coast. Of course you know that the French govern ment closed all the great gambling centers at the beginning of the war so that there Is nothing sensational in the news. Further than that, the Y. M. c. A. occupied the casino. last September and began keeping house for the doughboys who came to St Malo on leave. Over the arched gateway sign bears in large letters Brittany Leave Area" and the sig of the Red Triangle appears on the gateposts. Where the roulette tables stood are the writing tables where many letter home is written: the bars serve hot chocolate and coffee, doughnuts and apple pie, where champagne used to flow.
 The boys sent to the Brittany Leave area arrive in St. Malo from their various division headquarters at the rate of about 5000 a week. As rule they come in 8 disgruntled and rather peevish and very, very tired, their backs bent under the bur den of heavy packs, their clothes muddy and their bodies uncomfort- ably itchy from dirt and worse. The experiences they've had are still too recent to be forgotten and they come m little wild-eyed from the horror of the fight that broke the Hun re- sistance and a bit too inclined to | dwell on the grewsome of what they've seen.
 | Y. M. c. A. men meet them at the station and give them cordial greet | ing Before the boys have time to | say this new adventure to a strange place is something they did not want secretaries rush them off to good | hotels, the best in town. En route they are tactfully told where the bar l Der shop and the shower baths are also where the commissary filled with new uniforms and new shoes can be 1 located.
 | That night they are swallowed up in downy feather beds, one under meath and one on top, after the 1 fashion of Brittany beds and the mex; morning their breakfast comes up in a tray, fluffy omelettes, fresh butter coffee with real cream and crusts French bread.

OBJECT IS TO MAKE
PEOPLE PROSPEROUS
Government Much Interested In Series
Of War Savings Societies That
Are Rapidly Being Organized.

Government officials at Washing
ton are watching with 40 little inter
est the growth of a series Of societies
springing up all over the United
States. They have already attained a
membership that reaches well up into
the millions.
Treasury department officials are
particularly interested in this move
ment, and it is fostered by that de-
partment. AS soon as society is
formed the names of the president,
secretary and each individual mem
Der are placed in the treasury depart
ment archives.
These societies are War Savings
Societies, and the motive Of each so
ciety is Thrift. The government in
favoring these organizations, has not
only in view the replenishing OF the
United States treasury through the
sale Of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps, but the big idea is to cause
each individual member to learn the
value to himself Of being thrifty.
The government is not seeking to
divert capital from legitimate COM
mercial enterprises. 1t does not want
to tie up vast sums. 1t is the person
who has never saved Systematically
that it is the most anxious to reach.
This person can put aside the small
amounts that he has been accustomed
to spend, and this. drawing four per
cent compound interest, will in an in
credibly short time grow into a large
enough SUM 20 make the first pay
ment on a home. or to provide sum
with which one may make a perma-
nent investment.

ORDERING
HAND GRENADES
over 175,ooO Children In fifth District
Will Be Routing Enemy, Waste,
During Summer Months.

Richmond, Va-According to tho
attest available figures over five hun
ired banks in the Fifth Federal Re-
serve District have ordered supplies
# hand grenade penny-savings banks
hat are to be used by the children for
summer savings. The total number
If hand grenades that have been or
aered exceeds 175,000.
The plan of the hand grenade bank
originated in the Treasury Depart
ment, and the banks are being dis
tributed in this district by the War
loan Organization here. Every school
child under the age Of seventeen years
nay, by applying at the local bank, re-
,eive one Of these hand grenade
oepny-banks as a loan for the vaca-
lion period. If, during the summer
enough money is saved to purchase
one or more War Savings Stamps the
bank becomes the property Of the
child.
The banks are made out Of real hand
.renades that were to have been used
.gainst the Huns. With percussion
cap and high explosive removed, and
slots cut to receive and take out coins,
they are now doing service against
the enemy, waste, as banks for saw
ings.
School officials all over the district
are enthusiastic about the plan, as
they feel that it will not only keep
alive but strengthen the thrift ideals
that already have been implanted in
the minds of the children.
J. H. Binford, assistant superinten'
dent Of public schools here, has en-
dorsed the scheme, in recent letter
expressing the hope that all the banks
in the district would cooperate by get,
ting supplies of the hand grenades, as
the school children are enthusiastic
about securing them.

EASY TO SAVE

BY the same token that the best way
to have anything is do 1t yourself, the
best way to get ahead in the world
is save regularly and invest wisely.
Your children may be buying Thrift
Stamps but the nickels and dimes and
quarters they are able to save won't
buy a. new automobile or home or a
cultivator. The money to do that win
not be saved unless you save it.
It's easy enough to save it you 90
it the w. S. S. way. Quarters planted
in Thrift Stamps grow into War sav-
ings Stamps and the interest makes
them grow like rain does summer
flower. Save for. that happy opportu'
nifty. If you're not in War Savings
Society-get in one. Be with tho
crowd:
