26 h DIVISION
CHAPLAIN And "Y''
Chaplain Ray Anderson of 103rd
Inf, Most Popular of ''Sky Pr
lots, says ''Y" Was Soldiers
Best Friend

What do l think of the Y. M. c,
Az"
1t was Chaplain Ray Anderson of
the 103rd Infantry speaking-one of
the most popular "sky pilots" in the
whole army.
II know that without the Y M. G.
A, my own work over there would
not have been possible. The Y. NJ.
G. A hut was the only place where j
could gather the boys around me and
hold service.
THE huts, by the way, were estab-
lished as near to the trenches as pos
sible-sometimes only three or four
miles in the rear, and well within
shell fire. Not infrequently the can
teen workers would motor up to with
in few kilometres of the firing line.
At Chateau Thierry two or three 'FY''
men ran a canteen only six kilometres
from the German lines, serving hot
stuff to the boys at night till the day
before the attack. I mention this be-
cause some have accused the Y M
c. A. of playing safe and keeping their
canteens well in the rear. 1t is true
that the Y. NJ, C. A did not serve
hot chocolate to the men as they went
over the top-the idea itself is absurd,
but the " did it's work as near the
front as it was practicable to 60
"As for the accusation that ~ men
were all ablebodied slackers, let me
say that of the 43 secretaries en-
ployed in the 26th Division, not one
was liable to service in the army.
Many were over age; of the last four
~ men to leave the regiment, one has
only one eye, one has a leg two inches
shorter than his other, and the other
two are well over age. They are all
Christian gentlemen, some of them
served without any remuneration,
believe none of them received over
$85 month. Most of them had been
under shell fire, and some were
wounded. One or two were killed.
Perhaps the Y M. c. AS best rec
ommendation was given, quite invol-
unfairly, by some-the boys who had
been the loudest knockers and who
on reaching new quarters after a long
days hike, shouted out to someone:
lAC 06uu L. ". a.
sit was the Y. M. G. A. that fed
them when their own supplies lad met
with mishap, or the town they had
captured had been sacked by the Huns
to the last loaf Of bread. II was the
" hut that saved the boys from
spending their evenings out in the rain
or in a barn loft with a leaking roof;
that offered them books to read, and
paper to write home on-with some
one to write the letter If need be. 1t
was In the shelter Of the " that the
boys were entertained and fed good
cheer along with hot chocolate and
cigarettes. At Christmas time no less
than $4,000 worth of eats and
smokes were given to the boys abb
solutely free. II the Y. M. C. A. did
not travel on ahead Of the regiments
and start the canteen going as soon
as the boys arrived, an awful howl
went up.
Il never can listen to criticism on
the Y. M. c. A. without inward
rage for believe that the
Y. ID. G. A. did all that was hu-
manly possible with the almost super
human problems they had to deal with.

AMERICAN INTEMPERANCE

1t was unfortunate that on the Sec
ond day after the signing of world
peace riot should occur between the
French and the Americans in the very
port which was the primary one for
landing American soldiers for service
in France. The street fight in Brest,
which resulted in the death of two
French civilians, was caused by that
old American sin, intemperance. Even
though it was the act of drunken Of
ficer, the trampling of a French flag
cannot do otherwise than injure the
remarkable good feeling that has been
existing between the two countries.
Our government should make a
speedy apology to the French and see
to it that officers and men on leave
in Brest are placed under proper
drinking restrictions.

CENTENNIALS

1t is often said that in any undertak-
ing we must never turn to look back
ward for fear of being discouraged at
the little progress made. But some
how anniversary celebrations are diff
ferent. 1t seems that they are appro-
Pirate occasions for looking back
ward. Not only in the lives of men
but in the progress of states and ma
tions, it is fitting and proper that we
should pause for a space at certain
periods that we may honor the work
of our forefathers.
Beginning with this year and contin-
uing for perhaps four or five years
there will be many centennial celebra-
tions held in Missouri. In Journalism
Week we celebrated the centennial of
the founding of the first newspaper
west of the Mississippi In 1919 Gen.
eral Richard Gentry built the first
house in Smithton, which was located
just beyond the Columbia cemetery
and is still there. The following year
Columbia was founded. Missouri was
admitted to the Union in 1921. This
year will be held the centennial cele-
bration of the first steamboat to pass
up the Missouri River. The centennial
of the founding of the Bonne Femme
Church, north of Columbia, is also to
be observed this year.
Let US not neglect these opportuni-
ties to pay our respects to the living
past, and after we are gone others will
cherish the memories of the work we
do now.

THE OPEN COLUMN
Tobacco and Teaching,

Editor the Missourian: Should
teachers be permitted to use tobacco?
Miss Lizzie Wooster, superintendent
of public instruction and the first
woman to be elected to a state office
in Kansas, has sent notices to all the
teachers of Kansas that she will not
tolerate the lie of tobacco by teachers.
Miss Wooster will ask that the GER
tiffcates of teachers who are found to
be found to be addicted to the tobacco
habit be revoked.
The responsibility resting on a
teacher makes the tobacco habit a
more serious thing for him than for
the layman.
Every action of teacher is observ-
ed by his pupils, and, in many cases,
either for good or for evil, the pupil
initiates those actions. The power Of
example is great upon impressionable
children; if they discover that their
teacher smokes, even though he may
not flourish a cigar or cigarette in
public, one cannot say how many of
those children will become tobacco
addicts through his example.
The tobacco habit is especially
harmful in children. 1t stunts their
growth and development both morally
and physically. No responsible teach
er would knowingly lead child to
ruin his faculties for learning. but the
teacher may be doing that very thing
If he is user of tobacco.
Not long ago teachers could use al
cohol without losing their good stand
ing in the profession. But for several

concerns an anti-feminine father who

which she toppled the throne, removed

A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE sALOO,

A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE SALOON
Now that the saloon is out, how are
those who have been in the habit of
spending their leisure moments in bar
rooms going to while away their spare
time? There is no doubt that the sa-
loon filled a need for social recreation.
Many persons who frequented saloons
old so solely to meet their friends and
amuse themselves; maly of them nev-
er drank alcoholic beverages at all.
One substitute that is already prom
Using to be successful is the soft-drink
saloon as conducted by the Salvation
Army. Under its plan the hard-drink
saloon is converted into a soft-drink
parlor where the same air of sociabili-
ty prevails as formerly, except that the
Objectionable features, such as coarse
language and drunkenness, are re-
moved.
In New York City the Salvation
Army has had one of these renovated
barrooms in successful operation for
several months. The interior furni-
ture and fixtures were not disturbed.
Even the brass foot rail, on which so
many men seem to enjoy resting their
feet, is still there. The same barten-
der is employed who formerly dis
pensed cocktails and high balls. Many
men of that neighborhood make this
house their hang-out, and, leaning on
the bar in attitudes of ease, they con-
verse with their friends, while drink
ing soda pop, ginger ale and grape
juice, much in the same manner as
they formerly did when the whisky
bottle was showed about the shining
wood.

would employ teacher whom it knew
to be a frequenter of saloons.
With the grave responsibility that
the teacher is under, we do not con-
slider Superintendent Wooster's ac-
tion as unreasonable. Tobacco and

best, and it would be we'll for other
states to follow the lead of Kansas in
