C. A. Tha endorsements which Its work haa received at the hands of rulers In every nation, commanding gen erals of every army, and soldiers of efary rank, are enough to com mend It at once to tha consideration fad generous laaplee of every citizen. Hut to Ontarlana there are nome recommendations which come directly from boys pn the fighting fronts, both in Prance and In American training camps, whom everyone here knows. They aak and urge that the Y. M. C- A. be aided. They tell what the Y. M. C. A. means tot hem. They have offered their Uvea. They are, or will endure the cold and the hunger of tha trench "fatigue." They will come In cold and hungry from scouting trlpa They am or soon will be "going over the top." aad It la certainly up to those of their fellow Ontarlans who are remaining here al home safe snd comfortable, to heed their call for help for the Y.
