Y.M.C.A.'S WORK
FOR ARMY ABROAD
Report of George w. Perkins on
Activities of the 0rgani-
cation in Europe.
CRITICISMS WERE NOT JUST
Arose Usually From Difficulty of Sc
curing Competent Workers and
From Confused Conditions of
Observation-Disclosures Few,
Practically Unavoidable.

New York, May TN a report made
public today George W. Perkins, chair
man Of the finance committee OF the
Y NJ. G. A war work committee. tells
OF the results Of his recent investiga-
ton of the work which the Y. NJ c. A.
has done in Europe
First explaining the difficulty of Sc
curing efficient workers and the care
exercised in the selection of the II 900
persons who were sent abroad, Mr..
Perkins says:
Much has been said about the in
efficiency Of some of these workers,
and, without doubt, number of them
were inefficient. In any form of or
ganizatiOn in civilian life, whether it
be public schools, chain stores or cor
pOratiOns, if 90 per cent of those
originally employed make good, the
result is regarded as highly satisfac-
tory. If 10 per cent of the IL .229
people operating in France for the
7. NJ. G. a. were inefficient it would
mean that there were 1,122 men and
women who were more or less of a
failure I do not believe that any
thing like this number Of people were
unsuccessful; but if under the close
scrutiny which the soldiers give these
welfare workers even 3 per cent Of
them were failures, it would have put
a large amount of criticism in circula-
ton, and the work of the % per cent
who were successful would be forgot
ten in the publicity given to the 5
per cent who were unsuccessful.
THAT the workers as a whole were
brave and unselfish is shown by the
fact that IA Y. NJ. c. A secretaries
were killed and 126 others were
wounded"

Why canteen Prices Varied.

army canteens at the request of Gen
eral Pershing and the confused condi
tons that made it impossible to arrive
at an average cost price OF the goods
sold to the soldiers. It continues:
"The Y. NJ. G. A. never solicited
money for the purpose of giving away
its canteen supplies. If the Y. NJ. c. A
had given away canteen supplies in
France on the scale of its sales, it
would have spent in this activity alone
at least as much money as its entire
expenditures in France for all its &C
tivities. The constant policy Of the
Z. NJ. G. A was to sell canteen sup
plies at as nearly cost as possible, and
to bend every effort, when fighting was
in progress, to furnish the men at the
front with supplies free of charge
where it was at all possible to get the
goods to them.
"Some have criticized the 7. NJ. C
A. for not giving away more articles,
such as cigarettes, chocolate, etc. It's
policy has been not to give away gen
orally. but only in special and needy
cases. From June, 1918, to April, 1919,
the Y NJ @. A handled in France
ages of cigarettes, $4,000, 900 bars of
chocolate, 100000 cans of smoking
tobacco, 100000 cigars. 6O,OOO,OOO
cans of jam, 100000 packages of
chewing gum, and 100000 packages
Of candy. These are only a few of the
items handled, but the size of these
figures should convince anyone that II
would be financially impossible for the
7. N. C. a. to give its supplies away
generally. Furthermore. the army
does not favor any such policy. It
thinks that it is far better for the men
to spend their money on such articles
as these than to spend it in other
ways. For the most part the men hold
the same view"
Its Varied Activities.
In considerable detail Mr.. Perkins
relates the varied and extraordinarily
extensive activities of the z. n c. A
abroad, including the manufacture Of
much OF its supplies, the establishment
Of many hundreds of huts, with ath-
letics, moving pictures and various
other forms Of entertainment; the
management Of sightseeing tours for
soldiers on leave; the immense work
Of the educational and religious de-
partments and the distribution of read
ing matter. In conclusion Mr.. Perkins
says:
1.-The 7. NJ. c. A. undoubtedly made
mistakes. but what IT tried TO do was
to respond to every call that the army
made on it 1t never hesitated to
tackle any job 1t was asked to under
take; it did not sidestep any task IT
was asked to perform"

THE INVESTIGATION AND THE
PRICE OF CATTLE.

1t will be noted that the invest
igation of the Chicago meat packers
and the slump in the price Of CATTLE
followed close upon the heels of each
other. Was there any connection? 1t
was remarked in this paper in Il re-
cent issue, that it looked as tho the
packers were forcing down the price
of cattle for their own benefit, as
the reason given for tire decline did
not seem logical or reasonable In the
opinion Of at least one cattle man in
this county,( and he is usually level
headed) the investigation, of the
packers conducted by the govern
ment, was responsible, he thinks, for
the debaclc in the cattle market. The
packers saw their opportunity and
took advantage of it. The slump in
the price of cattle, from whatever
cause, cost the country millions and
millions of dollars, without any benc-
fit to the consumer.
The cattle men of this county will
lose not less than n half million dol
lars, perhaps. And the investigation
if this was responsible for the slump,
seems to have had NO other effect
than to give the Chicago packers the
opportunity to purchase cattle at
their own price, and that low price.
1t was costly investigation accord
ing to this view of the matter, and
clearly shows who's who, and who is
running things when lit comes to
the meat product of the United
States.

EQUIP THE SCHOOL.

In another column is an article
from ar. w. b." which should be
read with interest and stir the pat
rons of the school to action.
The school has never had "squarc
DEAL" 1t has lacked needed facili-
ties in one way and another from the
beginning. The only thing the school
has in the way Of helps, is what is
called "a library" which, as a matter
of fact easily proved, is not worth
it's room. What few volumes of merit
1t contains are seldom if ever used.
They are old, rusty and dilapidated.
There is need of charts, globes,
maps etc, necessities in every school
II good wok is to be done. And good
work is expected, in fact demanded,
Of every teacher, else there goes up
great howl of criticism and fault
finding. We equip our farms with
the latest improved machinery, our
shops and stores and homes with the
latest devices, but leave the teachers,
engaged in the most important of
all work, to do the best they can
without any of the helps provided.
Attention has been called to this
need heretofore without result. Shall
things go on in this careless, Slip
shod manner when the community is
amply able, as everybody knows to
furnish the school with every needeu
help? The pitiful sum of only $500
is asked for this work. OF course it
will be forth coming, and morefi if
needed. See Mr.. Bobbitt at once, and
give him your check. 1t is stated that
one citizen of the town has already
said that he will give $500 to the
fund. Who next?

The Devil and the Silk Sign.
(Sunday School Times.

Victory over sin must be won by
trust in God, not trust In human safe
guards. Every tempted person should
get the assurance through the Word
of God and trust that he is safe from
the temptation that Is assailing him,
without considering that the means
of his rescue will be probably such
things as the companionship of
friends, his own high ideals of right,
or any human influence. Before his
conversion Paul RAIDER says that he
made tremendous struggle in his
own strength to fight his temptations,
but was miserably failing. Whenever
he was walking down Broadway in
New York City he would pass the
electric sigr Of a certain well-known
silk, showing a kitten hopelessly en-
tangled in skcin of thread. As he
passed Satan would say to him, Grader
that's you" He would reply in de-
spair, III know it." He says he used

he doubted Gods word, but the blood
on the doorpost made him safe. Paul
in Romans 8 enumerates some things
that cannot wrest sneep from the
Great Shepherds hand: death, life,
angels, principalities, things present,
things to come, powers, height, depth
and then having exhausted the list
he uses blanket term to cover any
agency he may have omitted and
cries, "Nor any other creation" If
you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
as your Saviour, you are member
of the body of Christ, and for you to
be left out would make spot or
blemish in that body (Eph. 8: 25-27).
The great spotless Head could never
present that sort of body to himself

THE FOREIGNERS AMONGST US

The reports of the strike situation
show that so per cent of the strik-
ors are foreigners. The report of
seven safe and other big robbcrics in
New York City on Monday, show
that every one of the suspected rob-
bers and those arrested are foreign
ers.
An account Of the destructive forest
fires raging in Idaho, Montana and
other states in the Northwest, in
which millions of acres of timber
land has been burnt over, states that
trouble is had with the I. w. w. gang.
If they do not actually set many of
the fires, which is strongly suspect
ed, refuse to assist even for high
wages, in fighting the fires. And so
1t goes. Our foreign population gives
most of the trouble, it seems. From
the start the authorities have dealt
too leniently with these law breakers
and disturbers of the peace. Many
of Americas best and most useful
citizens are foreigners, as everybody
knows. 1t is the ignorant, riff raft
that infest for plumber and murder.
They should be made to behave or
be kicked out.

DISCOURAGE PESSIMISM.

A friend remarks: "Surcly the
United States is an afflicted nation.
If Europe is war-torn and war
weary, none the less, practically, is
the United States. Strikes and strifes,
suffering from cpidemics, and threat
ening storm clouds, ominous and
black, almost hide the sun. In high
places and low, the United States is
afflicted Gods punitive hand rests
heavily upon u.s."
Now, much of the above wall
may be, and, evidently is too true.
But the note sounded is pessimistic,
and should be discouraged Pessimism
means defeat every time, every
where. All is not bad. The sun still
shines and God rules. The bony fling
crs of want and famine are not
clutching the throat of the nation.
The granurics and barns are burst
ing with bountious havcsts. The
churches, benevolent organizations,
and charitable institutions were never
more active than now i'm upift efforts
for the bettermcnt of the people. 1t
will all come right. From the melting
pot and the cruciblc will come right
cousness, with the dross left behind.
Into each nation, as we'll as each life,
some rain must fall, some days be
dark and dreary."
Talk optimism. Look for the silver.
lining on the rim of the storm cloud.
It's there. Walk around and look at
the other side of the shield. There is a
greater future for this great country
greater in all respects than it has
ever known, if the nation does not
forget God, and eve" you and me
and the rest of us, are "the nation"
Pessimism is of the devil. Optisism
is of God.
