R. the home of Mrs. Willlam €. Hungerford, The princi- pal speaker was Setts G. Haley, one of the ploneer secretaries of the Y. M. C, A, and who was with the famous | Rainbow division in France. Mr. Haley went across in September, 1917, | and returned only a short while ago. He opened his talk with his expe- rience ot crossing the Atlantic when coming home, saying that there were four ships which started the voyage. The ships were so well camouflaged that it was impossible to tell which was the stern and which was the bow of the vessel, They were escorted by destroyers on each side, and also in the front and in the back of them. Besides there was & fleet of airplanes above them and a dirigible away in front of the convoy. Mr. Haley went to France when there were only 5,000 \American sol- dlers over there, and when he came back the number had reached one and three-quarters millions, He led the same life as the rest of the boys— eating, sleeping and living in their way, From his experience he says our army is second to none in the world. He was with the French Blue Devils tor five days and was treated by them as a brother. He praised the work of the women of France who took up the positions their husbands | left. Throughout his talk Mr. Haley | gave several vivid descriptions. One incident that appealed to him very much was that of an American sol- dter surrounded by several Iirench children and he was holding one by the hand. He explained that the idea of the Y. M. C. A, was to do anything tnat would cheer up the soldiers. For example, it was their duty to give the boys entertainment after they had come out of battle, When he first went to Chateau-Thierry the first sound that greeted him was that of a piano. Looking around he discov- ered a group of soldiers gathered around a piano and singing for all they were worth. The Y. M. C. A. dis the best it could to give the boys a real Thanksgiving. A turkey had been promised to them and it had not arrived up to 6 o'clock on Thanksgiving eve. At § o’clock they were greeted with a large turkey that had been sent from the states. After the dinner there was a foot- ball game, followed by an entertain- ment in a “Y” hut. Mr, Haley was in the trenches five days before any Americans arrived and slept in a dugout 40 feet under- ground. Shortly after the arrival of our soldiers the Germans turned their heavy artillery on them. This was the first blood shed by the Americans. In | general Mr. Haley spoke of the differ- ent battles along the different sectors which he had +witnessed. In one bat- | tla 22 soldlers were buried alive and | two “Y” secretaries died from the ef- | fects of a mustard gas attack. He praised the “Alabams,” who neve could be stopped after they had gone over the top. In concluding, he said that the war was not won entirely by the United States and that he should hate to hear someone in later times get up and say s0. A British officer once told him we had the best army. It was the combined efforts of all the Allies, he said, that won the war, but the com- ing of the United States at the most opportune moment was the deciding | factor, | PARK STREET WOMAN HEARS OF SON’S D T ‘Word has been recetved here of the death of Private Stanley Ryiz.
