"Y" Worker Wins Praise of Doughboys

That was the verdict an American
doughboy passed upon library fitted
up by Boston girl, Miss Hortense
Colby of 1927 Commonwealth Ave-

according to a report just received
from Miss Anne Watson of Chicago,

Miss Watson who was regional di-

has the following to say of tie re-
markable accomplishments of Miss
Colby and the other young women as
sociated with her at Coetquidan:
"A great artillery camp, cleaning
high upon the Brittany hills, lonely
and isolated spot miles away from a
city, only sky and blue hazed hills
dotted with chateaux to be seen. Here
fresh from America with all it's hustle
and variety came by the thousands

tillery at the front They had landed
in what they called the mud hole of
the world. They had seen during
September and October many of their
comrades die from the flu epidemic.

her versatility, commonsense and re-

in May 1918. there were two large
huts, one at either end of the great
camp In June, an officers club house
and a recreation hall for enlisted men,
also Y. M. c. A. mess hall and head
quarters building, were erected in the
center of the camp About the mid
die of May much against the wishes
of some Of the army officials, women
were assigned to the camp, the first
two being Miss Agnes Morrow of the
wellesley Unit and Miss Hortense Col
by of Boston. In June, Miss Dorothy
Dennis and Miss Alice Lindley were
assigned to the officers club. The
conditions under which these women
first served were primitive and diff
cult. But, by sheer pluck and inita
tive they proved the value and neces-
sity for women's work in a strictly
military camp.
From 10000 to 10000 men were
in training from five to six weeks be-
