President Wilson on Italy, 1 r. Jump's letter in full follows "hese are exciting days in Paris. F| of all the peace conference is not working smoothly. The final out- come will probably be known before my letter reaches you, but today there is much strain in the air on account of President Wilson's letter and the withdrawal of the Italian delegates. “I dropped in at the press room of the Hotel Crillon where the American portion of the congress lives, night be- fore last, and chatted with Herbert Gibbons, one of the newspaper men. He showed me the typewritten copy of President V son's letter which had just been released. ‘It was felt that the moment one af the most critical in the his of humanity, and there in the group filling the tiny smoky room were the leaders of the newspaper life of the United States, William Allen White, Ray Stannard Baker, Reginald Kauff- man and scores of names familiar all | | over America; and all of these men were as tense as though they were awaiting reports on some decisive bat- tle. Somehow I felt as though I, a humble ‘Y’ worker, were sitting just at that moment on the hub of the universe. | “But whatever the outcome of this ! present attempt at world unity, the idealism of our chief executive must | sooner or later be recognized by all | the races of the globe. It may take a few more hundred years, but it surely | will come. Meanwhile I find a very large percentage of the soldiers are most anxious to see a league of na- tions. It goes without saying that ev- ery last one of the soldier boys, whether he believes in the league or not, wants peace, wants it right away, wants to get out of France and back to the ‘Old Gal,’ as the Statue of Lib- erty in New York harbor is familiarly called. was May Secondly, there is a seething social unrest that is omnipresent in thought and conversation. What will happen May first? is on everybody's tongue, On’ that day the labor forces of the world are wont to demonstrate, Here in France it supposed that a univer- Day Forebodings. sal strike has been called for that time. “Rumor declares that the govern- ment has warned all Americans out of the city who can go; that mobs are to be fought not with machine guns as much as with bomb-dropping aero- planes; that on the other hand the anti-aircraft guns have mysteriously disappeared and perhaps will appear when the aeroplanes appear, the guns on the side of the proletariat and the fiving machines with the authoritios that be. Who knows? You will know what the day will bring forth befare this letter is received. But Paris some- how feels that she is sitting on a half- dozen volcanoes these momentous days “Thirdly, there have troubles. The cost of living has as- cended so high that the government agencies have established street mar- kets, amply protected by police so that the retailer or wholesaler will not dare vent his jealousy in violent acts, where it is hoped that lower prices will soon prevail than in the shops. Butter has been $2.75 a pound. Chocolate candy is $2.80 a pound. You pay a dollar for a little jar of jelly. | “A bottle like that which the barber uses to sprinkle hair oil on his cus- tomer’s head is handed vou in the ho- tel dining room, and you are told that this is saccharine to sweeten your tea with. My apartment costs me just twice as much as it cost a traveler four years ago. And there is wile- spread discontent with these condi- tions; been food Socialists March and Sing. “A unive just been Al eight-hour day has sed by the government, but there are storm-clauds above the horizon still. The other day back of the Trocadero I stumbled upon a so- cialist demonstration, just a little one which the papers had not thought it worth while ta announce. But it held me up for a couple of hours while 70,000 socialists marched and shout- ed and sang their wav past me, city blocks in two directions fairly blood- colored with the multitude of red se- cialist banners, several riots and ar- rests, tides of furious emotion ebbing d flowing as ony they can do in a French crowd. “All this was because the goverrn- ment had acquitted a man who mur- dered the socialist leader Jaures at He | a volcano. The letter was published in the Manchester (N. H.) Mirror and Amer- ican, as Mr. Jump is pastor of a church in that city. It describes the sensation in Paris when President | Wilson's statement on the Fiume | | question was issued and also mak | note of the dread of May Day which as expected to be a continual round appeared and perhaps will appear | the outbreak of the war. It will not | be surprising at all if before my sum- | mer in France comes to an end there may be some more bloodshed some- | | where and for some cause, as creation | groans and travails waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. { “But there is of course much to | Paris besides these whirlings of fear and political and social conflict. There | is the Y. M. C. A. for which I am tr} ing to do a bit, acting in behalf of a | certain generous church in Manche: | ter, N. H. Unless someone has recent- Iy told you about it, the extent of the ‘Y’ program just in Paris is amazing. “It has chartered scven hotels at enormous figures and is running them almost at a loss for the benefit of the 5,000 soldiers who are in Paris every | day. Two theaters, a skating rink and a circus are also chartered and run | free to all men and women in uniform | with most elaborate program of en- tertainment and shows Hundreds in “Y" Service. half-dozen office buildings are needed to accommodate the s executive departments of the ‘Y." Ten | other buildings are rented for canteen | purposes, warehouses or something | incidental to the *Y' program. Hun- dreds of ‘Y’ uniforms on both men | and women meet you in all the re-! spectable parts of the city, a fleur-de- ¥s on the shoulder telling which per- | sons are permanently stationed in the | city. ! ‘Thirty of the leading preachers of ! | the U. A. come in and out of the | { metropolis on tours taking them to ail | | parts of France, while 850 entertain- | | | ers sing and read and play the piano | or banjo for the amusement of the| | khaki lads wherever they are in France or Germany. Of course there have been mistakes made in the ‘Y’ in | choosing its personnel, and there has been inadequa in its ministries; but | | the life of the soldier now with um} “Y' to help him, and the life of the | ldier as it would have been if the | " had not undertaken its welfare program, are as different as white and | | black. And nine out of every ten doughboys will admit this, too, when | vou stand him in a corner and ask him to tell you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. he other day one sight-seeing trip to Versailles took along 750 soi- diers. It required ten ‘Y’ lecturers to describe to them what they were see- ing. A dozen other trips give pleasure to thousands every 24 hours. The Eif- fel tower and the sewers of Paris were opened to ‘Y’ men before the general public were permitted to see them this spring. And in and near Paris there are more than 30 centers where religious services are held by the ‘Y’ each Sunday. New England Boys Win Hearts, “One of my regrets is that the New Hampshire boys of the 26th division were just moving toward the trans- ports as I was coming into France. I therefore did not see any of them. But I have heard of them, and all the words I have listened to were such as made my ears tingle with pride. A ‘Y’ man who went with them to the | front declares. ‘I have had to work with other outfits, but the New Eng- land boys have won my heart forever “A girl who was with them after they came back from their stormy ex perience alse bears hor witness: ‘T were the pluckiest bunch T ever met. I love every single one of them.’ “The precise meaning of this last remark is a bit in doubt! “But boys of other divisions are on the Paris streets all the while, and they are so appreciative of the kind- ness organized for them by the ‘Y.’ One came into a canteen the other day where American girls were serving, and confessed, ‘I really have to come in here at least once a week to help keep my moral standards up by look- ing at fine American girls.” “Another told one of our hospital- ity workers that ‘You are the first American woman I have had a word with in eleven long months.’ “But you may want to know just a bit before I close about my own specific work. I have been added to the department of religious work as | one of its staff to help especially in | securing a large body of concrete | testimonies as to what the soldier | | thinks about religion, the social ques- tion, the church, the future of de- mocracy and allied topics. Inciden- tal to this survey I am to tour through all the different areas of France and Germany where troops are to be found, speaking and hold- ing conferences. At the present time I have a singer accompanying me. Palm Sunday at Chateau-Thierry. “I preached a Palm Sunday sermon at Chateau-Thierry in the cvening, after having been at Rheims in the morning. My Easter was spent at Brest. I go next to Toulouse in South- ern France, where more than a thou- sand soldiers are studying in a French university. From there I am likely to move over into Marseilles and the Riviera “Wherever one travels he goes by military permit, and unless the army gives him a credential he cannot buy a rail ticket. It is immensely inter- esting work, as all ¥ men and women have testified who were fortunate enough to get into it before I did But even at this eleventh hour there is a great need. “1 hear from different sources of | the excellent work, far above the average, being done by Miss Helen Crafts at Nice. Miss Helen Roberts | of Goffstown and Miss Lawrence of Nashua are two other New Hamp- shire canteen workers whom 1 have met and am proud to know. Indced, the individuals who are not measur- ing up to the best are few and between. The need is so much be- | yond the resources of the organiza- tion that Y. M. C. A. in France comes to mean, You Must Contentedly Ap- proximate. Everything is done only approximately as it ought to be done. But the marvel is that so much after all is done, so many millions have | been ministered to with good cheer and creature comforts, so much aid has been offered to the hest in a n to the end that the best in him may conquer the worst. | “I hear excellent news from the ; church.

He's Strong for The Salvation Army A ND there’s reason! The sight of a doughnut carries him back to those awful days when, coming out of the front line trenches, a doughnut from the hands of a Sal- vation Army Lassie was the first evidence that there remained any civilization, or a human heart, in all the world.
