materially from a shortage of funds.

during the month which it covers. and
this does not take into consideration
the other millions distributed TO the
men in Europe, as the home section
covers only the work in the United
States.
The "Y" provided some II ,2e9 en-
tertainments during the month, in
Guiding 7.f79 motion picture pro-
grams. and these entertainments were
witnessed by nearly 5000 900 persons.
Athletic games were participated in
by 1,333,S94 men and witnessed by
