In this manner he brought in the work which the Y. ; M. C. A. was called upon to-do. ' American 'sold iers were scattered over the whole of France, he said, and there were over 3.0UO places where the insti tution was expected , to establish branches. Willi tiio comparatively small number of secretaries .which were available1 at tint outbreak of war, this presented a serious prob lem, und on this ucuount' the "Y" was unable to extend Its services to all the men of the American forces ovorseus. - l Hpciikct Answers Oi-itlclsni Mr. Khqde8 considered lp his tnlk severnl points on which the institu tion has . been- severely 'criticised.

This tobacco was nil bought from the army (iiiarterniastev, howover, . and the fuct that tile article was the gift of some person or Institution, could not be discovered until the package had been opened.

After Mr. Rhodes had concluded his address, O.
