WELFARE WORK
TO CONTINUE
Sec. Baker Requests ''Y"to Con
tinue Service in Rhineland

Boska.-At the special request 0.
Gen. Allen, commanding the Ameri
can Forces in Germany, Secretary O.
War Newton D. Baker has instructe
the Y. M. C. A, to continue it's vel
fare work in the Rhineland, despite
the fact that in home camps activities
of that kind have been taken over
by the army. The Y and the Saliva
ton Army are the only organizations
catering to the 1000 soldiers in ano
around Coblenz.
The troops are scattered over Z
large part of the area held by Gen.
Dickman's Army of Occupation last
summer. The force includes the
units sent over seas to do guard duty
in Silesia. The men are comfortably
biileied, have plenty of excellent, well
cooked food and all the entertainment
they want, Miss Virginia Newcomb
chief of the women personnel, said
yesterday on her arrival home after
nearly two years abroad
Miss Newcomb, who was former
ly the executive secretary of women's
war work, Columbia University, re-
turned to New York to take charge
of the womeRs departments of the
Institute of International Relations
at Columbia
The Y recently leased the great
feSthalle at CoblenZ, she said, after
returning it to the Germans at the
time the peace treaty was signed. In
order to get the building the associa
ton agreed to allow the German
Philharmonic society to use the au-
ditorium two evenings a week.
The galleries are reserved entirely
for the American Army and members
OF the Inter allied Rhineland com
mission and their staffs and soldiers
are not allowed on the main floor
during the concerts, Miss Newcomb
said.
Victory hut on the grounds of the
EX- kaiSer's palace and one of the
S largest overseas buildings is now
being salvaged, but Liberty hut near
by, is well equipped as a gymnasium
and is one of the most popular places
in Coblenz. Bowling alleys have been
added to the list of indoor sports dur
ing the winter months.
Owing to the extreme scarcity OF
coal, efforts have been made to cen
tralize many of the activities in the
festhalle. cafeteria has been
opened there and for 20 cents an
American soldier can get a meal of
soup, meat, two vegetables and a
dessert.
Women far outnumber the men
IN the force of welfare workers at
the American bridgehead There are
now 81 canteen girls, including a
group of teachers in the soldiers
night school and other instructors in
the school conducted for children of
army officers and members of the
Rhine commission
Miss Newcomb strongly recon-
mended to Mrs. F. Louis Slade. head
OF the WomanS' department of the
National War Work Council that an
additional force be sent over to as
slst those already on the ground.

POLAND AND THE ALLIES.

Two things stamp with high importance
the statement about Poland issued by.
the Supreme Council on Sunday night
One is that definite Polish policy hos
been announced, The other is that the
Allies are In entire agreement about IL.
After weeks Of uncertainty, after some dis
quoting signs that France was not in
harmony with England, nor Italy with
either, we have q proclamation that is
both clear and JOINT Affairs concerning
Poland and Russia should now march
quickly.
Unhappy bygones arc sponged from
the slate by the allied announcement.
The rights or wrongs OF the Polish ven
ture into the Ukraine are not gone into
it may have been, as the Poles assert,
military defense by taking the offensive
or II may have been an il.-conccived CAM
paign IN behalf of greater Poland Either
way, 1T has fai.ed. The Poles have ap-
pcalcd % the allies for aid, but have been
inormed that il will not be given so long
as their troops are fighting on territory
not Polish On the other hand, the Mos
COW government has been notified that
il the Soviets refuse the offered aririisticc
and attack the Poles within their proper
boundaries" the Allies will give Poland
full assistance. In other words. they will
not permit the Bolsheyiki To destroy
the new Poland.--New York Times.

That in our garden you should find

The south slope toward the eooseberries,
Where all day long the sun is warm
Combining use with charm.
Now when I pause beneath your tree
An anxious head peeps down at me-
A crimson jewel in it's crown
1 looking up, you down
! wonder IL my stripey shawl
Seems pleasant in your eyes at all:
i can assure you that your wings
Are most delightful things.
Sweet birds. pray. he not severe.
Do not deplore our presence here,
We cannot all be Goldfncbes
In such a world as this.
The shaded lawn. the bordered flowers
Wei call them yours instead of ours,
The pinks and the acacia tree
Shall own your sovereignty.
And he. the Ethiope of our house,
Slayer of beetle and of mouse
Huge, lazy. fond, whom we love we'll
Peter shall wear bell.
And when in other shining summers
Our place is taken by newcomers
Well leave them with the house and hill
The goldfinches good will.
