an idle soldier loses spirit. The Y. M. c. A. stands for home and country, for high-class recreation, for physical well fare, for ideals that build up man or boy, while idleness, vice, pessimism and discomfort tear him down. General Per shing wanted the association with him because the American army is made up of men and boys used to high standards of life, to comforts, to music and entertain ment, to athletics and games, to social enjoyments and clubs, to books, news papers and magazines. Such an army would be restless and discontented, lose force and spirit unless some of the com forts, conveniences and ideals of the homeland went with them to war
 Then began one of the most fascinating chapters in the history of the war. From one Tut" on the dock at Brest-a lent in which the association secretaries wait ed in the spring of 1917 for the debarka- tion of American troops-to 1900 huts at the time of the signing of the armistice, the overseas organization grew and ex- banded.

 What are the raw materials that pro- duce fatsT
 Fodder was the response. s'The Americans looked over the cate gory of articles that were being sent from America to neutral countries and discov- cred that folders filled large place on the list
 No more folders for Scandinavia and the other neutral countries, they said until We are assured that the fats pro- duced by this fodder remain in the neu- tral countries and are not shipped to Ger many.
 This one single decision of the Ameri- can business men in the war trade board did more to help defeat Germany than any other one decision made in America. Tt took the fats away from 6,000000 Ger man soldiers. It explains why, when the Americans entered the German lines at the time of the armistice, they found Ger man soldiers complaining bitterly about how poorly they had recently been fed.

third annual convention held in Provi- dence, 1918, and which now appears as the Kiwanis Torch.
 This latter convention resulted in many radical changes in the makeup of the organization, President Hixon retiring and Perry S. Patterson suc- ceeding. This convention also adopted complete new constitution and bylaws, virtually the same as the Rotary, which provided not only for the inter national trustees, but for an additional organization which should be known as District or States organizations. Per capita tax was left at $1 per member per year. but an additional assessment of s1 per member per year was made in order to cover the cost of printing and mailing to the membership the xxi wanis Torch"
 At this convention the international organizer reported the completion of 115 Kiwanis clubs, scattered over a ter ritory from the Atlantic to the Pacific,

from Winnipeg. Can, to Fl Paso, Tex.
 The local clubs now number approx imately 145 and during the period of the war were united in their efforts to stand back of the governments of the United States and Canada. The Ki- wanis clubs, wherever established were foremost in putting over the Lib erty Loans or the Vicctory Loans, in backing the Red Cross drives, furnish ing four minute men, raising money to care for the families of the soldiers, particularly in Canadian clubs, and ere largely instrumental, in the early days of the war, in bringing from the Can adian cities returned officers and sol diers to speak before American busi- ness men and arouse them to the im- portance of action.
 In conclusion, it is safe to say that never before, in the business and pro- fessional life of America has an organ ization composed of the same type of men, been gathered together so rap idly.

 The huts were always crowded with sol diers, too. There they went when they were tired from drill, or exhausted from the strain of battle. There they found friendly workers, ready to give them cheer or counsel, to welcome them to fun and frolic. There they wrote their let ters home, read books and magazines, lis tened to the latest photographic records, played games, chatted with their pals and in the cold of winter kept warm.
