It had been raining hard in the afternoon—a cold, steady autumn downpour—and there was nothing to suggest the rainbow in the outward aspect of the camp. Lines and lines of sodden canvas housed 27,000 men, gathered from 27 different states. The ground was dotted with Pools and quagmires. Under the wet canvas it was damp and cold, with a penetrating chill. Lit by filckering candles, the tents were far from cheer- ful shelter for qa man’s last night in his native land. But there were seven big tents where electric lights, numbers and friendliness made the night pleasant. national army this paper every month. greatest army hearts at home. “Over There” in France. places men are writing home. gladden millions of hearts a day least is on its way to you.

The work must go On, be cause there is no one thing that con tributes so much to the spirit and ef ficiency of the troops. The Y. M. C A. is working nigat and day to hel; the government win this war. Anc every penny that is given to aid the work is a direct assistance to the health, happiness and strength of your boy and mine. Snapshots of Kaleidoscople Work. In all the big cities in France where our men pass through in large num- bers, the Y. M. C. A. is operating hostels, where they can get beds and meals at a minimum cost. In London the American Y. M. C. A. nas erected a large building for our soldiers and @ clubhouse for Amer'can officers. There are Y. M. C. A. dugoute right behind the front line trenches, where the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack ers and other ccmforts at all hours. Over 2,000 men who had been reject- ed on account of physical disability have been abte to get into the British army by reason of the physical work of the British Y. M. C. A. A fleet of motor cars leaves the big Y. M. CG. A. headquarters in London at midnight every night to pick up sol- diers who are wandering about the streets without any wholesome lodging in which to spend the night. These cars are operated by Englishwomen of position and refinement, who report that they never meet any discourtesy at the hands of the soldiers. The {m- portance of this service can be esti- mated by the fact that at least 60,000 soldiers are on leave in London every week. Over half of these sleep in Y. M. CG. A. beds every night. Entertainment on Vast Scale. The Y. M. C. A. has erected a big auditorium, seating 3,000, in each of the big draft camps, and huge chautau- qua tents, seating 2,500 in the other encampments, The association is run- “Muzic, Games, Good Reading and Correspondence Facilities in Y. M. C. A. Building. In each of these a soldier was strum- ming on a piano; others were reading books and magazines; hundreds were writing letters home. Behind the raised counter at one end three or four young men were busy passing out notepaper and envelopes, selling stamps and weighing parcels, which the men were sending home. One of the soldiers said to me as I stood in the tent used chiefly by men from Towa: “We came all the way here from Des Moines, and we were mighty lonely. Then we found tnis Y. M. C. A. on the job, and it’s been a home and more than a home to us. It gave us what we wanted when we needed it most. We'll never forget it. The boys’ best friend is the Y. M. C. A.” Fine, Clean-Cut, Upstanding Fellows. How close those benches were pack- ed with meu, bending over the long tables absorbed in their writing! What an appeal to the sympathies those great groups of soldiers make! Wine, clean-cut, upstanding fellows, some of thom mere boys, one thinks immediately of the sacrifice they have made for the rest of us and how pre- cious they are to some one back home. Somewhere, in far off farm or village or city street, there are parents or brothers or wives who would give all they possess for one glimpse of those sunburned feces as you and I see them on their last night before going across. And it was with a throb of the heart that I watched them, bent over their letter paper, in one after another of those seven big tents. These were the tents of the Y. M. C. A. On that last night in America the essociation was serving the soldiers in the best of all ways—giving them an opportunity to write home. On previous nights they had enjoyed box- ing bouts, movies, concerts, dramatics and a score of healthy entertainments es well as religious meetings. But on thia last night home ties were strong- est. And perhaps that is the keynote of the splendid work the Y. M. C. A tistics can exprecs. Statistics reckoning in terms of love and human tenderness. Let’s put it this way: That the Y. M. C. A. is the biggest ex press company the world has eve: seen, and the parcels it is handling are the loves and devotions of human beings. World's Best Loved Trademark. This war das made us think hard and fast. Your boy or your neigh- bor’s buy or some boy you know and iove has been called to do his share an the big job of policing the worid for democracy and human liberty. Is it any comfort to you to know that wher- ever his duty may call him your boy will nave a friend tuat will serve him in body, mind and soul? Aré you glad to know that this friend wi-1 place books and magazines at hig disposal, organize classes to teach him what- ever he wants to learn, give him a pocket testament and invite him to join religious meetings of the faitl that he was brought up in? Dfa you realize that the associction provides athletic equipment for his favorite games, teaches him games if he knows none and holds concerts, lectures, movies, Bible classes, dramatic enter. tainments and every kind of whole- some amusement to keep him interest- ed? Are you glad to know that this friend will go with him overseas, help to shield him from a score of difficult and dangerous temptations and follow him right up to the front line trench and beyond it? The last contact the soldier has with this life he loves so well is a cup of tea given him by the Y. M. C. A. free just before he goes “over the top” to a hand to hand strug- gle with the enemy. And as he comes tottering back from No Man’s Land, wounded, but strong enough and Plucky enough to keep on his feet, even before his wounds are dressed the Y. M. C. A. is waiting for oim with tea and sweet chocolate, the great com- forts of the man in the trenches. Do is doing among our men in uniform— keeping them in touch with home. Magic Words, “With the Colors.” In these times there are some let- ters that mean more to us than any we have ever read before. They are written on sheets of paper stamped with the Stars and Stripes and the Ted triangle of the Y. M. C. A., and they bear the magic words, “With the ‘elora.” There are many more than million such letters in the mails now ‘ile you read this. Perhaps one at quota of about -$250. you wonder that the Red Triangle is called “the best loved trademark in the world?” One soldier in France has called it “the last evidence that any- body cares.” If every thinking citizen could see with his or her own eyes something of the actual work being done for our men by the association there would be no question of the Y. M C. A. having to apreal to the public for money Rather than let this essential work falter for an instant rich men would sell their motorcars, poor men would Idaho county’s quota is $1650 and the Cottonwood business part of the wor'd to another than sta- are pretty poor anyway when it comes to ning a 22 week entertainment circuit among the camps and is paying 16 companies of entertainers, who are traveling to 30 camps performing be- fore the men. In each of the draft camps the Y. M. C. A. has ten secretaries engaged in educational work. The association is seeing to it that etery man who cannot spe2k English is vaught to do so. In many of tne camps the asso- ciation has a singing director, who is teaching the men to sing the popular and martial airs that do so much to keep up their spirits. Of 64 Y. M. C. A. men at Camp Dix only three are being paid full sal- aries. In all the camps the majority of the Y. M. C. A. men have left lucra- tive positions to do this work simply because its appeal is irresistible to any red blooded man. Harry Lauder, the famous Scotch singer and come- dian, now on his farewell concert tour in the United States, is giving all his spare time to the service of the asso- clation and {s singing to the soldiers at all the camps he can reach. In one of the draft camps the Y. M. Cc. A. is supervising athletics on 120 playing fields, providing full athletic equipment. The winners of the inter- regimental games will play the cham- pions of the other camps. One of the greatest services render- ed by the association is the making A Red Triangle Dugout in the Trenches. eH out of money orders by which the men can send their pay home to their fam- ilies. In some of the big camps the Y. M. C. A. is providing banking facil- ities for the men as well. Do Your Bit With a Tenner, This month (November) the Y, M. C. A. must raise $35,000,000 to carry on its work among our soldiers and their allies until next July. Of this $35,000,000 akout $24,000,000 will be spent on the work with our own troops or about $10 for every man in Uncle Sam's uniform.
