a little letter parer. They evidently
forgot the free picture shows, the
buildings that were erected. lectures,
and other forms Of entertainment.
Some of the other organizations did
not attempt so much and have re-
ceived much praise. For instance, the
Salvation Army went into the war to
furnish nothing but doughnuts and
coffee-things that would appeal to
any soldier. The Salvation Army
made a hit. 1t was the same with
some of the other organizations. They
had nothing to sell, all to give away
and this appealed to the men in
France. Of course some Of the men
in charge of the canteens were not
competent, were not obliging, were
not kindly to the boys. Many of them
worked under difficulties. No doubt
some of them went for a lark and had
little interest in their work. Much
was expected of the Y. NJ. c. A. and
when the organization failed to rise
to the expectations Of the young men
abroad, there were difficulties. Those
best acquainted with the matter state
the whole difficulty arose from the
fact that the Y. M. G. A. sold goods
sometimes the goods sold being
gifts from firms or corporations.
Whether or not this was done on pur-
pose, it should not have been done.
In some places the Y. NJ. G. A. was
all right, as shown by the letter from
Rev. Buffers found elsewhere in this
issue. Many in Sank county have
paid good money to the Y. NJ. c. A.,
all have heard criticisms, and The
News readers will be glad to hear
from such competent writer as Rev.
Buffers on the subject.

During the great war you remember
hearing about the big German guns
throwing shells eighty miles into, the
city of Paris. The secreat Of big
Bertha" is jealousy guarded. From
a commission Of high German ar
tiIlery experts sent to confer with the
Third army, American officers at
attempted to elicit some details Of the
big guns.
7 The German officers frankly ad-
mitted that they knew little about it.
They declared that information about
the big Berthas' was kept secret
even from the highest German artil
lery officers. Only few specially
picked officers knew of the locations
or details of the monsters, and the
crews of picked men were sworn to
and kept isolated from other
soldiers.
The crew were under oath to COM
NIT suicide to avoid capture or reveal
ing information about the guns. The
German officers claimed they did not
know what became of the guns after
the armstice, but believed they were
destroyed.
