The agencies through which this can be accomplished are 'joined In the United War Work Campalgn. From being glven the cigarette or. chocolate bar, with which he stays his hunger In the fury of battle, to the theatrical entertainment or the ath- letic games, which relax him into nor. mal comfort- after weeks of terrific- combat, the American fighter is de- pendent upon the. continyed e}torts of the Y. M. O. ,&haY W.-0."A,, the National:€atholit: War Council and K. ot-C., the War'Camp Community Serv- ice, the Jewish Welfare Board, the Amerjcan Library Assoclation and the Salvation Army.

A. provides 538 huts In American training’ camps and more than 800 in the war gzone as centres which the fighters can use as clubs, schools, theatres, stores, churches, li- braries and writing rooms. More than 7,000 men and women had been sent overseas or approved for overseas work by early autumn and 8,822 were serving in American camps at home. Y. M. C.

'entertainment and reading for these women and girls. The Y. W. C. A’'s outstanding con- tribution to soldier welfare work iu th:lnlng camps was the. ‘establishment of ‘Hostess ‘Houses, where the:soldier or sallor may receive his mother, wife, sister or ‘sweetheart In ‘the surround- ings and ntmnsphare of the best hemes. The Natjonal Catholic War Councll co-ordinates all Catholic welfare work in support of the government an¢ through the K. of C. provides clul- houses for our fighters in all Ameri- can training camps, as well as having seventy-five centres in France and three in England. In thefr hais the K. of C. provides entertalningment, movies, boxing * bouts, educatlonal work, religlous- services, free station- ary, reading m"flter and writing rooms, In France thér rolling canteen ac- companies thfi&'&merlcnn army, thelr aecremrles mlmflx with the troops, glv- ‘ng away (umrette& cookles, choco- lates, sonp and towels.

At the same date they had 468 secretarles ‘in American training camps, 150 build- ‘ings, fifty-six more In the course of erection and contracts let for fifty more. War. - Camp. Community- Service functionis exclusively in America, Its special mission being to “surround the camps with hospitality.” In place of leaving the soldier or sailor to the promiscuous <cmpanions and diver- sions formerly his lot, the organiza- tion obtains for him the best to be had in communities adjoining camps or through which he passes. W. C. C. S. obtalns for him invita- tlons to dine, bathe or spend the day in the best homes. It introduces him to the best women and girls at soclal gatherings, church entertalnments, theatre parties. It arouses communl- ties to provide concerts, athletic con- tests and other wholesome diversions for the soldier, and to drive out ot discourage the vicious elements which have been historic camp followers. The Jewish Welfare Board is corre- lating the strength and purposes of 100,000 Jewish soldiers, sallors. and marines with that of the Gentile sol- diers. The board teaches the English language, American civics and tdeals to thousands of young Jewish men who were inducted into service after only a few years' residence In this country. While safeguarding his re- liglous' rites, the board assists In the process of welding the Jewish soldier into the solid American unit and In bridging over the differences between him and the others. The American Library Association is providing reading matter for every American soldier, sailor, marine and prisoner of war. In additiop to gath- ering and forwarding three million ]boolu contributed by the American =] e N e e et T e B e S — ' people the assoclation bought 560,271 books, mostly technical, of which 198, 267 were sent overseas. More than 1,500,000 books of all kinds have been assigned to librarles In Y, M. C. A, K. of C. or Salvation Army huts in the war zone, a similar number being dis- tributed in American training camps, while half a million are on warships or transports. The associntion has epected and operates forty-one library hulldings. The Salvation Army, with 1,210 workers, principally wowmen, 0ielrseas, has won the affection of the fighters, Its 501 huts, rest and reading rooms are popular gathering places for the goldlers. The doughnuts fried by Sal- vation lassies In huts or trenches and gliven to the men have become famous around the world. The Salvation Army gave forty-four ambulances to the -American and Allles’ armles and in many other ways gives constant un- selfish service. LENDS HOUSE TO DOCTOR Patisian Installs Rockefeller Institute Scientist in His Home at Saint Cloud. Paris~—Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re- gearch of New York was recently seek- ing a building at Saint Cloud suitahie for a laboratory and workshop near certain hospital centers. He found the house he wanted in a park full of splendid trees. The “Verger” (Or- chard), as the property was called, be- longed to Andre Bernheim, who had refused the most tempting offers to rent it on account of the family sou- venirs it contalned and the art treas. ures. When Mr. Bernheim heard of Doc tor Carrel’s wish to lease his house he said: “Tell Doctor Carrel that I am greatly flattered at his cholce and that the Verger and its surroundings are at his service.” When the question of rent wa¢ raised Mr. Bernhelm exclaimed: “No, no, a scientist owes nothing to any- body. It is I who am honored.” Utilizing an Antipathy. “Which are you goin’ to do?” asked Meandering Mike, “work or fight?” “I'm goin’ to start In,” answered Plodding Pete, “by workin’ a Mttle, Dnt always makes me feel like flghtm WANT AD DEPT.

The whole-souled co-operation be- tween the seven great organizations working for the happiness and welfare of our soldiers and sailors was re- cently illustrated at the graduation exercises of the tenth class of the Jewlsh Welfare Board’s Training School in New York. Col.-William 8. Barker, who went to France represent- ing the Salvation Army with the first contingent of our troops and has been “over there” fifteen months, was the principal speaker and wished the fifty- eight Jewish workers of the class God- speed, while Louis Marshall, the promi- nent Jewish attorney and philanthro- pist of New York, lauded the work of the Salvation Army among the boys at the front. “What our fighting boys need is in- spiration and heart and character in those who are there to help them,” declared Col. Barker. “You will rep- resent in the camps and overseas the ideals and standards of the Jewish faith, and it is up to you above all | things to be consistent in your re- ligious practices. Practice what you preach. That, I am sure, has been the secret of our own success. If you live up to the principles of your faith and g{ve what you have to give from a heart big with love, the boys will re- spect you, whether they be Protestant, Cathollc or Jew.” The newly graduated fleld workers will make a total of 260 men doing fleld work in our camps and naval, training stations under the auspices of the Jewish Welfare Board. The Board has about fifty “huts” in the various camps and maintains centers | i all large cities where soldiers and sailors of ull faiths are welcomed. A headquarters has recently been estab- | tished in Paris, and 100 men are being recrnited here for overseas work. There are now nearly 125,000 Jews serving in the army and navy.
