LONDON HOTEL
FOR U. S A,BOYS
Y. M. C. :. Takes Over Six
Buildings for Army
and Navy Use -

London, Feb. 8. Half a dozen
London hotels, including the Palace,
Cosmo and Grafton, have been taken
over by the American Y. NJ. C. A.
within the last few weeks and are
now in full operation. This addition
to the war plant of the "Y" is re-
quired by the even more compre-
hensive period of occupation pro-
gram which has been set up in the
United Kingdom by the " M. c. A.
The associations educational pro-
gram is epected to bring at least
1000 picked Americans for training
in the British universities. Already
hundredds of soldiers are coming
across the channel to spend their
long leaves. Much of the navy work
of the "Y" must be kept up until
the American army of occupation
has been sent back home.
When the armistice was signed
there were approximately 700 Ameri-
can "Y' workers in the. United
Kingdom. About 125,000 men were
in the rest camps and training areas
at all times and 10000 men from
the fleet of battleships, destroyers
transports, mine-layers and other
craft were served by the "Y' al
numerous ports in the British Isles
Although only a small part of this
total now remain, the need for a
more extended "Y" program was
described today by Frederick +
Hinitt, field secretary, on the eve
of his departure for home.

fcontinued From Yesterday

CONTINUED From Yesterday
The two-day rest did us a world
of good, and when we went on the
march again the majority of the
prisoners were in fair condition Al
least, they had had enough to eat,
for what with the bean bundles in
the barn, everyone had eaten his hll
of this succulent but much despised
fruit" We got the usual fare from
the Boches-"Julian soup" and our
small ration of bread-but 1 never
bothered to go after my share. l
never could eat it anyway, besides
I had beans. But not so the others.
They were letting nothing get past
them. and Notwithstanding the fact
that they ate beans all day long, as
fast as they could cook them any
way, they always were in line for
their share of Julian" One day
the Boche were too lazy to cook up
the awful mess, and therefore
dumped q bushel of it out on the
ground. The way those prisoners
fought and scrambled for that ILL.,
tasting, stomach destroying stuff was
pathetic.
But the two days came to an end
and we went on the road again.
Like all the other marches, 1t was
the same weary toiling along, with
little to eat and nothing to look
forward to except the end OF the
war. That was the only bright hope
we had, and even that darkened by
the time the day was ended. and we
were halted at an old tumble-down
house to pass the night. Even the
Russians kicked at that shelter, for
half the roof was off, all the win
dows were broken and there were
no doors. How they were going to
guard us 1 don't know, and just then
I did not care, for If we stayed IN
that house that night, I, for one,
was going to escape again. Either
that or freeze to death, for a chill
wind was blowing. Having come

lucky. She had given him cup

1t, promptly knocked Vt out of his
hand. While he was thus occupied

looked my way had finished drink

the pitcher behind her back, was
looking interestingly and demurely
at the prisoners as they passed.
Crossing a large river we marched
through some more of the towns and
finally into large factory, used, no
doubt, for making clothing of some
sort, for the machinery was still all
there. And that was where we were
supposed to sleep. Everybody was
not through, there was nothing to
eat and no fire.
Helping Themselves
The floor was cement also, and
being wet as we already were you
can guess sleeping that way was
nothing to look forward to. But the
prisoners did not bemoan their fate
long, for knowing we'll the character
of the Boche, and that food and heat
would not be Forthcoming, they

and demand to be sent to a hospital.
But he was nowhere to be found,
and 1 never did find him until morn

best of things. Luckily, l ran into
French adjutant whom had met
in prison, and he was making ar
rangements with the civilian owner
of the factory to put twelve men in
small room. The room had a stove,
which was what had arrested my at
tention, so with a little line of talk
as to my condition l was placed
among the twelve. The civilian CIV

around holding up coats and socks
to dry. Soon we were all pretty
thoroughly dried out, and now that
we were warm, we began to wonder

was forthcoming though until late
that evening, and that was only
some acorn coffee and little later
the old reliable soup Julian"
could not eat that, so drank my
coffee and tried to sleep-just as
close to the stove as possible. This
had been the first real heat giving

and believe me, l wasn't wasting the
opportunity to thaw out.
Several more men escaped that

not agree with me and the organization
agreed with Jake.
"ln this state of affairs | was looking
for a man whom we could elect and I'd
made up my mind to try and nominate a
winner if l could find one.
young Theodore Roosevelt was then
just out Of college, From what he had
read of the Assemblyman for the dis
trict. he did not think he deserved to
be reelected, or was good man to be re-
nominated. Neither did he believe that
the programme to push his name through
the nominating convention was fair. He
was not at all bashful in saying this,

the proposition on the ground that for
him to do SO would look as though in
opposing the other man he had selfish

l might with diligence find a desirable
candidate.

His exact words I do not recall, but
l do recall that he insisted, after agree
ing, that we must not hesitate to take
up another man if we could find one
who'd make a proper candidate.
However, to make long story short,
he was nominated, and the canvass
began. In those days it was the custom
for the candidate to form committee
of two or three friends and make a can
vass of the district, meeting the shop
keepers-in those days principally liquor
dealers. Major Billiard, Jake Hess and
| made up Roosevelt's committee, and
about the first man we called on was a
chap named Fischer, who had a liquor
place on Sixth Avenue. To him Mr..
Hess introduced Mr.. Roosevelt as the
candidate for the Assembly, and Fischer
expressed his great pleasure at meeting
him.
"Then Fischer began to tell of the
trouble besetting the liquor dealer
through the workings of unjust tax
laws, winding up by expressing the hope
that Roosevelt, when he was elected.
would help reduce these liquor taxes.

He Played Fair With
Newspaper Men

To help reporter Colonel Roosevelt
would often put himself to much incon-
venience, though he was not the easiest
man in America to interview. Many
time even the members of 1.-THE cabinet"
journeyed to Oyster Bay to get talk on
one subject or another, only to return
empty handed.
No reporter who knew his business ever
attempted to interview Mrs. Roosevelt.
and none tried it second time. while as
for the photographers, they might swarm
over Sycamore Hill or other places the
Colonel might be with Mrs. Roosevelt
and never attempt to take her picture
This was Mrs. Roosevelt's wish and it
was law with the Colonel This explains
why, with all the prominence of her hus-
band, Mrs. Roosevelt never appeared IN
print, and new picture of her had not
been printed since White House days.

we talked the matter over, but we did
not make much Roadway.

candidate they can. What excuse can
