the war; of transporting thousands
of men overseas, of juippiug tliein
of getting supplies for. their use
across the Atlantic, pud lastly, of es
tablishing accommodations Jor them
when they were landed in Franco.
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

Mr. Khqde8 considered lp his tnlk

Ttiere was .the charge, he said, thtit
the "Y" had sold girt toh.icco and
gift sweaters. As fur as llio tobac

was true to a- certain extent. This
tobacco was nil bought from the
army (iiiarterniastev, howover, . and
