 SOLDIER BOY KICKS {. S " d>'s &AhH sD AGAINST Y.M.C.k.
Serves It on Toast With a carnish of Scotch Blessings, but the Cap
 tain "Stumps" Him.

eff every kick and knock against the Y. M. c. A. service overseas could have been handled as an American captain 1 know treated one case in his company there would be more in the air of what the " did and less of what they failed to do,' said John M. Currie of Melrose, Mass, who is just home from operating Red Triangle huts, in the Calais and Ypres sectors. The censor one evening came across letter from a boy to his folks back home, in which the "Y' was banned and served on toast with q garnish of all the Scotch blessings and reverse English the boy had on hand. Now the censor is q pretty tired man, and l should not have blamed him if he had let that letter go. But there was an extra strong touch of exaggeration in it that reused the censor's sense of justice
 So he sent the letter to the captain of the boys company and the captain called the boy in. This is the conver- sation that followed:
 Did you write this letter."
 "Yes, sir"
 ''Rcad it ovcr-is there anything there you'd like to change before it is sent?'
 "No, sir"
 Then there was a shoft pause, in which the captain studied the boy and the boy set his jaw stubbornly. Finally:
 "Where did you get this lettcr?" "The Y, sir
 "Who gave you the paper?"
 "The 'Y,' sir"
 "It's warm and cozy, and something like home there, isn't it?"
 'Yes, sir"
 "Where do you get your cigarettes, candy, etc.?"
 "The ~ sir"
 "You're always sure of finding what you want there?"
 "Yes, sir"
 "You go to the movies and real show oceasionally?"
 "Yes, sir"
 "Who runs them?"
 "The 'Y.' sir"
 Doesn't cost you a cent, does it?" 'No, sir"
 There was another pause. and the boys face was redder and his express sion softer. Then:
 eff you don't mind, sir, I'd like to see that letter again."
 Without a word he took it from the officers hand, tore it once across, and dropping it into the basket made his salute, turned on his heel and walked out.

 4,523,343 Attend.

If every man, woman and child in the state of Texas, plus the entire population of New Orleans, La, were to unite in going to church on one Sunday the mobilization would still he less than the attendance at religiou5 meetings in the Army Y. II. c. A. buildings in the Southern department from May, 1917, to December 31, 1918. The total attendance at 24,70O srch meetings in the "Y' huts was 4,522:S,G34:3s according to figures compiled by the religious work department of the Army '. NJ. c. A. at San Antonio, Tex.
 At these meetings 74,457 soldiers re- quested prayers-a number greater than the population of Oklahoma City. The number of Christian decisions made by these soldiers was 69.929- more than the number of people in Il Paso, Tex. Christian purpose re- newed by soldiers at such meetings reached the big total of 66,5S1.
 The number of personal Christian interviews which the "Y" secretar, as were able to have with the mon as they visited the buildings was "lae4G. or equal to the combined pGpulations of Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston Tex. These secretaries also secured from the men number of other for. Ward-step decisions, including the fnl. lowing: To read the Bible, 111.1e9. to pray d4,o91; temperance, 4,6Sa, anti- profanity, 9,342; personal purity, 19.- 50o; antigambling, 6,995.
 Records from November 1, 1o1T. to December 51, 1918, show that 1880 Bible classes were organized with T total enrolment Of 43,012 men. TIT .se classes held 15,995 sessions and h. d an attendance of 345, 5,59S. It was ..ot untig May l, 1918, that records wore made or the number of teachers used at ; shese classes but from that time to December 31 there were 144s soldier teachers and lsS3a civilian teachers engaged in conducting the classes.
 Q9pies of tae Scriptures distributed fq soldiers reached 539,683, or one eaeh for every person in the states Of New Mexico and Arizona. Religious literature given out from June i, 191S,. to December 31 numheFed 56a, ,24a pieces.
 NiSltlng sick soldiers was a part of the 9uty of religious work secretaries, and for the period for which records Were kept the number of such visits. made was 9o6,192, almost eQnaf to the population of Colorado with most of the people in Kansas City, Mo-, t..roWn. In to balance the measure.

 And if the same question were put to the people at home, the re- sponse would be, Most of any thing. 1 want my soldier boy home again."
 Don't think that the govern ment has overlooked these con- ditions. It is comb'ng the high, ways and the byways of the sea for tran ports to hurry the men home. It is sending them on American ships, Holland ships, Italian ships, whatever it can secure.
 Remember that it took over a year to get the army to France, and that the British transports which carried much of it over are nc longer available.
 Patience, mothers and fathers and kinsfolk It will not be long at the longest be- fore Uncle Sam returns your good Tom or your nice Dick or your fine Harry, lieger and browner than when he left, and as overjoyed to reach home as yeu are to see him.

KEEP FIT FOR HOME
 SLoGANI OVERSEAS
Pershine Isaues Order Designating Y. M. c. A. to Supervise
 Athletics.

Paris.-General PershiDg's position regarding the Y. M. c. As manage ment of athletic activities in the American expeditionary forces is set forth in the following army order:
 ''The I. NJ. c. A., with the approval of inc commander in chief, has organ iz2d a department of athletics and is prepared to give every assistance in tae development of general athletics and the arrangement and management of competitions between military units.
 Ut has a large number of specially trained physical directors in mass play and other athletic activities now in it's ranks in France. One of these will be attached to the staff of each division and separate unit, and will be designated in orders as the divi. Sional Cor uriD athletic director, anG under supervision of the division ath- letic officer will be charged with the responsibility for the arrangement, management and general conduct of athletic activities throughout the unit.''
 In another section of the order, pro- vision is made for mass athletics and competitions for every possible man, an all-pont company athletic cham pionship and official A. F. r. cham pionships in a wide variety of sports.
 ''Keep Tit for Home" is now the slo- gan. If the period of demobilization ic mt to bn ac DOptOr Mott hoe ont it. "a period of demoralization" for many men, attractive, constructive physical activities must immediately be substituted. To a certain degree a continuation of military drill will meet the situation, but the games and play, informal and competitive, will be found the best agency to meet the call for physical well-being
 There will be physical expression of some sort, particularly during the lei sure time of the soldier. Shall it be destructive, disordeply and dull-or constructive, orderly and interesting?
 The army has decided for the latter. It has adopted program maintaining q wise balance between the amount of drill necessary to maintain military ef- fciency and discipline and the amount of play necessary to keep men phys- caliy stimulated, and so the responsi- bility for the play side of this pro- gram for the 100000 men in France is placed upon Y. M c. A. athletic directors, experts in their profession.

uges from northern France and Belgium have been as numerous as those who live here regularly. So that it was impcs ,ible to make our boys really comfortable They were glad to get any sort of billet, barns, sheds, tents anywhere they were crowded to- gether in whatever shelter could be secured, and too often where there WAS ID possible chance of a fire. Through the day of curse they were busy and spent Little or no time in their billets,
 and at night with their bed rolls
 they could sleep comfortably.
 In the evening there was no place where they could pass the time
 between supper and bedtime in any sort of comfort except in the wine rooms. It was a part of my business, 1 felt, to keep the boy out of the wine rooms. So with money furnished by the Y M c A 1 got a place and fitted it up for them with light, heat, chairs, tables, etc. The wine rooms, according to the law had to close at nine o'clock but 1 was permit ted to keep open till a quarter after. And the boys crowded our place to overflowing every night. On Sunday they liked to spend the whole day there, read ing and writing and talking. l Whenever we could we had preaching services in the morn ing and a song service and a talk by the chaplin was the reg uIar Sunday evening program.
 My main idea throughout was 10 give the place a suggestion of home-to create social and re-
 ligious atmosphere and make the
 boys feel that they belonged
 there,
 Since taking up the education al work my task has not been quite so simple, but it has had the same objective - to render some useful service to the boys. Last week, for example, as ed ucational director for the 91st Division 1 arranged for fifteen lectures, organized two schools, and spent the rest of my time in meeting and talking with the soldiers, finding cut what they were interested in and trying to interest them in things that a,e worth while. One of these is the subject of agriculture. For tw) weeks l have had with me President Coulter of the West Virginia College of Agriculture, and a MT. Martin who is con- sulting engineer, featuring and

Of cocst tse th~Y" has it's re, ligious service department, Of which I have not spoken at all, because that is another stosy. And besides for me every branch of this work is a religious service. There have been conversions we had five or six at our hut one Sunday morning last fall make m ike pro fessions, and 1 person. ally know a man W ho is hand pick ing men right along. But put ting that part aside. 1 believe tn; t when the men and women whose money has made possible this program over here come to under stand and soberlv to evu,ate the work they will fill a new thrill every time they real the passage in the 18th chapter of Mathew which begins with 'Inasmuch. :"

But the bigness of the opportunity is so caa leagaa and the results are so cut of pro portion to the efforts we are able to make that l count these last few months the most wonderful in my whole life. 1 came over expecting to go Immediately te the front and some way had the feeling that l should never get back. But. the work here seemed so great that I felt one year of service Lere would be worth more than the twenty or thirty that I might hope to render at home. At first l was disappont ed that my task was to. be so commonplace, but it is no longer homely to me, and if again today I had to chose as l thought last spring I was choosing, between what 1 have had the privilege of trying to do here and all the op- portunities that 1 may expect ;n the ordinary course of events GUT ing the next twenty years, l. could not feel it right to alter my deci-ion.
