of blood on the sidewalk. Always
looking for possible trouble, Behman
traced the bloody trai in real sleuth
style. The trail led him from Front

mysteriously ended. Just n few feet
away, however. the vigilant eyes of
the officer discovered a .32 caliber

Already such a demand is coming
up from all over the state for the
opening up of new counties and
new centers of the association work
that the state committee, with head
quarters in Chicago, is literally
sWamped with the appeals.
In order to cope with the situa-
ton and meet the program that is
being forced upon the state officials,
it has been found necessary to di-
vide Illinois into three divisions, a
northern, central and southern dis
trict, with an assistant secretary in
each division who will have iuris-
diction, in cooperation with the
state committee, over all associa-
ton matters that arise in his par
ticular division. These assistant
state secretaries will be added to
the present state committee staff,
in addition to the large number of
men who are already serving as
secretaries on this committee.
Practically every state in the
union has been compelled to follow
out this same general plan in order

EXPLAIN CAUSES
OF Y. CHARGES
Speakers at State Meeting Admit
Mistakes But Deny Army
Work Was Failure,

An important Y. M. C. A. confer
ence was held in Chicago last week
and was attended by NJ. E. Strieter,
president, and o. ]. Stirratt, gen.
eral secretary of the local Young
Mems Christian association. The
conference dealt largely with the
criticisms which are being so freely
aimed at the association these days.
and also considered the program
and policy of the state work for the
coming year as outlined by the
state committee:
Several speakers of local and
overseas reputation addressed the
various conferences which were
held. The overseas speakers dealt
entirely with the criticisms being
leveled at the association, and none
denied but what to a certain degree
the criticisms were justifiable, but
declared to a large extent it was
absolutely unjust and unfair, and
all were emphatic in their state
mentS that the man overseas who
sees more to criticise in the asso-
ciatioQ's program than he does to
commend, is like the man who sees
only the spots on the sun, forgetful
of the sunshine that continually
floods the world.
without question, the program
and work overseas of the associa-
ton, taken as a whole, has been the
greatest piece of welfare work ever
conducted by any organization in
the history of the world. All the

hut with but one broken-down Ford
to supply his demands. Oftentimes
the supplies would give out as the
soldiers filed by in an endless line,
and many who might have stood in
line in the rain for an hour trying
to get to the hut for their package
of chocolate or cigarets would oft
entimes have to be turned away,
unable to secure the much desired
articles.
The various criticisms which are
offered can be satisfactorily an
swered if men will look deep
enough for the real reasons. It is
needless to say that all leaders in
the association movement who have
the interests of the association at
heart, regret exceedingly that all
this has come about, but realize
that the motives of the association
have been true through it all, and
having received the endorsement
and commentator of General John
J. Pershing, who has at all times
been in a position to know the good
work the organization has done, the
association, as movement, is more
determined than ever to press on in
its great work Of helping and serv-
ing men.
General Pershing's commentator
of the associations work is given
in his Christmas greeting to E. C.
Carter of the Paris headquarters of
the army Y. M. c. A. in France, I'M
der date of Dec. 25, 1918, when he

Charles erik IF Davenport acted
as postmaster of the evening and
spoke briefly opposing government
ownership Of public utilities. He
replaced William ButterwortI,,
president of the association, who
was unable to attend because OF
illness.

Announcement was made at the
banquet of the appointment of z.

VanDervoort and ]. L. Irving on
the governing board of the assO-
citation. More than 200 attended
the affair which proved to be cas-
lily the most successful ever staged
by the association. Excellent en-
tertainment was provided by a
Chicago quartet of entertainers
and a tri-city orchestra.

speakers confessed that there were
men over there who slipped into the
association work as secretaries, re-
cruited from the various parts of
the United States, who we're not
Christian men or Y. NJ. c. A. men
in any sense of the word. They
misrepresented themselves and in
duced their friends to misrepresent
them to the recruiting committees
of the association in order that they
might get into the 'Y" service so
that they might have the opportuni-
ty of seeing France and getting into
the war zone. These men, While
comparatively few in number as
compared with the total $500 work
ers sent overseas, have done great
deal of harm to the association s
cause and are largely responsible
for the criticism which is being
aimed today at the association.
Some of these men gambled, mis-
represented, overcharged the sol
diers, and drank, but were dis
charged from the service as fast as
they were detected.
On the other hand, the handling
of the canteen was a tremendous
Job for the association, together
with the other work which the or
ganization was trying to do. The
government itself or any other or
ganization attempting to handle the
canteen would have had similar
trouble. as it is commonly known
that the canteen has always proven
more or less a bone of contention.
It was impossible much of the time
to keep a canteen supply on hand
in the various huts. Paris was
headquarters, but it was practically
impossible to get the supplies just
when needed, and then, too, accord
ing to Mr.. Title, pastor Of the Meth
odist church of Evanston, who was
acting as camp leader at a hut near
the front, at a most critical time in
the war, the government requistion-

CHICAGO-CLEVELAND
AIR MAIL A SUCCESS

Perfect service has marked the first
two days of operation on the Chi
cago-CIeveland air mail line. it was
announced today by the Aerial Mail
Department.
The first day, Thursday. four per-
feet flights were made with the mail.
One plane left Cleveland and one
left Chicago at-9:3O o'clock and the
mail was transferred to new ma
chimes at Bryan, Ohio, for the final
leg OF the trip. One flight was
made in three hours and four min
utes. including the time for transfer
at Bryan. and the other in three
hours and ten minutes, also elapsed
time.
The daily schedule calls for a mail
plane leaving both terminal cities at
$50 o'clock in the morning, the trip
taking approximately three hours, in
Guiding the stop at Bryan and the
transfer of mail.
The three-hour schedule will prob
ably be cut down after the route has
been in operation for a time, and
after the pilots get accustomed to the
new routes.
The Cleveiand-N YORK line is
awaiting only the completion of the
twin-mortored planes which are to
be used over the mountain country
between.

BAND CONCERTS
TO Be RESUMED

The Washington public is once more
to enjoy the open-air concerts in the
parks, arrangements having been
completed to have four good bands
give a series of concerts throughout
the city. Beginning Monday, June =,
it is planned to have a concert every
week day during June, July, August
and September in public parks in diff
feTent parts of the city.
Colonel Ridley, Superintendent OF
Public Buildings and Grounds. has
military bands in Washington. In
addition to the Marine Band, which
will give the usual concerts at the
Capitol on Wednesdays and in the
White House grounds Saturday after
moons. the Engineer Band, from
Washington Barracks; the Eleventh

the Sixty-third Infantry Band, from
East Potomac Park, will play.
The concerts will be given at Du-

Return of the concerts is made pos
sible by the Withdrawal Of American
troops from Europe. Since 1917 only
the Marine Band had been available,
as the two army bands had left for
service. During 1917 and 1918 the
Marine Band has done heroic service,
however, giving four concerts a week.

DEAR FOLKS:


4 table in a private home
recently. All of the guests
commented on the splendid
meal which the hostess
served. 1t was a very SIM
pie meal but it was Splen-
didly cooked and beautifully
served. The table linen, the
dishes, the floral piece IN
the centre of the table
everything harmonized.
The meal started with a de-
liciouS tomato broth. Then
each guest was served with
pieces of steak at least two
and a half inches thick and
cooked just right. Baked
potatoes, done to a "turn"
were served with the steak.
Hot biscuits, made by the
hostess herself, were also
served. There were ripe
olives, tomato ketchup, coffee
and delicious butter which
made the biscuits taste eX.
ceptionally fine. For dessert
were served some wonderful
canned peaches and a large
piece of chocolate cake, also
made by the hostess.
