Tf T tu evening on tha broae
HempsUv.d Plain, Loos Island,
where the Rainbow division was
spending Its last night before embark
ing for France. It haS been raining
hard In the afternoon a cold, stoady
autumn downpour and there was
nothing to sasgest tho rainbow In the
outward aspect of the camp. Lines
and lines of sodden canvas housed
17.000 men, gathered from 27 different
states. The ground was dotted with
pools and quagmires. Under the wet
canvas It was damp and cold, with a
penetrating chill. Lit by Bickering
candles, the tents were far from cheer
ful shelter for a man's last Light In
his native land.
But there were seven big tents
where electric lights, numbers and
friendliness mr.de the night pie.' rant
OUR SOLDIER.
All of us In The Bulletin shop feel
a little proud today. We have just
had a letter from Hugh O'Xeil, the
first Bulletin employee to enlist in
Uncle Sam's service after the war
vbegan. Hugh, or "Pinkie" as he was
called, because of his red hair, began
to be restless In the spring and finally
he came around and said he guessed
he'd better be going, that he was the
one member of his family free to go
and it was up to him. So he went
and now he writes us from Camp
Mills on Long Island where he is a
corporal in the field artillery. Be
cause be was he youngest and green
est man In the shop, Hugh came pret
ty near to being the "devil" and now
he is a corporal, while the rest of us,
If we were in the service, would
probably all be privates.
But it is not only because we are
proud of our soldier that we are writ
ing this. It is because of what he says
atoout the life and his feelings, each
sentence furnishing the text for an
appeal to all those at home.
The letter Is written on Y. M. C. A.
paper and at the top of the first sheet
Hugh has drawn a circle around the
association triangle and written,
"Certainly a magnificent thing, rath
er organization for the soldier." Just
another note in the chorus of praise
the soldier boys are singing for the
Y. M. C. A., but how timely here.

all we can give. If you were not
found by the committee yesterday
come forward and give now fpr our
soldier and yours.
Then Hugh says, "Some of you
loosen up and let me have a few lines
from you." There is another text.
Our soldier boys want letters. They
are lonely and even homesick and
the thing tbe future holds for them,
makes them, in their moments of dis
couragement, even more lonely.
That's when they are most likely to
slip and wonder "What's the use."
And that Is Just when they need the
letters from home and friends. So
it you are not writing to a soldier
now, get an address and begin. You
may not know him but if he's from
Bend he'll like news of the town, and
you can give it to him.
"I have found army life to be a
good deal as you make .it;" says the
writer. There's a text for all. Life
is what you make it. We shall not
try to preach on It but shall say only,
Whatever else you make of yours,
do what you can to help the soldier
make good with his.
NEW AUTO AGENCY
SECURED IN BEND
C. E. Hamilton, of the Oregon Fuel
& Transfer Co., has just received no
tice of his appointment as agent for
Deschutes county, for the Velle Bilt-
well autos and trucks. The flrBt
demonstrator to be sent him is a
1917 six roadster, a handsome car
now to be seen at the Oregon Fuel
& Transfer Company's garage on
Bond street. In addition to being
agent for this county, Mr. Hamilton
may have two other counties placed
within his territory.
The Voile line Includes a complete
list of all types of cars and trucks,
and Mr. Hamilton believes that It
will rapidly become a favorite in this
section. One of the first purchasers
In this vicinity Is W. R. Wilkinson,
who has bought a three-ton truck.
One of
i the soldiers said to me as I etood in
tbe tent used chicly by men from
Iowa: "We came all tic way here
from Des Mclnes, and ws were mighty
lonely. Then we found tnis Y. M.C.
A. on tbe job, and It's b?en a home
and more than a home to us. It gave
us what we wanted when we needed
It m03t We'll never forget it. The
boys' best fr'end to the Y. M. C. A."
Fine, Clean-Cut, Upstanding Fellows.
How close those benches were pack
ed with men, bending over the long
tables absorbed In their writing!
What an appeal to the sympathies
those great groups of soldiers make!
Fine, clean-cut, upstanding fellows,
some of them mere boys, one thinks
Immediately of the sacrifice they have
made for the rest of us and how pre
cious they are to some one back home.
Eomewbere. In far off farm or village
or city street, there are parents or
brothers or wives who would give all
they possess for one glimpse of those
sunburned faces as you and I see
them on their last night before going
across. And it was with a throb of
the heart that I watched them, bent
over their letter paper, In ona after
another of those seven big tents.
These were the tents of the Y. M. C.
A. On that last night In America the
association was Bervlng the soldiers
In the best of all way giving them
rn opportunity to write home. On
previous nights they had enjoyed box
ing bouts, movies, concerts, dramatics
and a score of healthy entertainments
as well as religious meetings. But on
this laet night home ties were strong
est. And perhaps that Is the keynote
of the splendid work the Y. M. C. A.
Is doing smong our men In uniform
keeping them. In touch with home.
Magic Words, "With the Colors."
In these times there are some let
ters that mean more to us tnan any
we have ever read before. They ari
wrlttei on sheets of paper stamped
with the Stars and Stripes and the
red triangle of the Y. M. C. A., and
they bc'.r t!e made words, "With the
Colors." Thorn are many more than
a million sue1) letters In the malls now
while you re.t.1 this. Perhaps one at
pnrt of the or'd to nnottier than sta
tistics can oxpress. Statistics are
pretty poor anyway when i comes to
.Reckoning In terms of love nd human '
TenlcrhQs. T-c"."s fa'. Tl T.Ts wa7T
That the Y. M. c: A. Is the biggest ex
press company the world has ever
seen, and the parcel It Is handling
are the loves and devotions of human
beings.
World's Beat Loved Trademark,
This war has made us think bard
nd fasL Your bay or your neigh
bor's by or some boy you know and
love has been called to do bis share
In the big Jb of policing the world for
dtnijcracy and human liner ty. Is It
any comfort to you to know that wher
ever his duty may call him your boy
T.lll nave a friend t'jat will serve him
In body, mind and so.il ? Are you
glad to know that this friend will place
books and magazines at hui disposal,
organize class ja to teach him what
ever he wants to learn, give him a
pocket testament and Invite him to
join religious meetings of tbe faith
that he was brought up In? Did you
realize that the astoclatlon provides
athletic equipment for his favorite
gamed, teaches him games If he knows
none and holds concerts, lectures,
movies, Bible classes, dramatic enter
tainments and every kind of whole
some amusement to keep him Interest
ed? Are you glad to know that this
friend will go with him overseas, bolp
to shield him from a score of difficult
and dangerous temptations and follow
him right up to tha front line trench
and beyond It? Tha last contact the
soldier has with this life be lovos so
well Is a cup of tea given him by the
Y. M. C. A. froe Just before he goes
"over the top" to a hand to hand strug
gle with the enemy. And u he cornea
tottering back from No i.r.n't Land,
wounded, but strong enough and
plucky enough to keep on his feet,
oven before his wounds are dressed
the Y. M. C. A. Is waiting for nlm with
tea and sweet chocolate, the great com
forts of the man In the trenches. Do
you wonder that tbe Red Triangle Is
called "tho best loved trademark In
the world?" One soldier In France has
called It "the last evidence that any
body cares."
If every thinking citizen could see
with his or her own eyes something
of the actual work being done for our
men by the association there would be
no question of the Y. M. C. A. having
to appeal to the public for money.
Rather than let this essential work
falter for an Instant rich men would
sell their motorcars, poor men would
forego coveted possessions or even n
cesslties. The wcrk must go on, be
cause there Is no one thing that con
tributes so much to the spirit and ef
ficiency of the tro -ni. The Y. M. C.
A. Is working nlt'lit and day to help
the government win this war. And
every fenny that Is given to aid tbe
ofTj Is t n ft afct'nUUc to TVs
health, happiness aud atrousth of your
boy and mine.
Cnapshots cf Kaleldosooplo Work.
In all the big cities In Franc whar
our men pais through lu larg num

In which to spend tbe night. Thai
cars ara operate! by Englishwomen
of position and refinement, who report
that they never meet any discourtesy
at the hands of the soldlsrs. The Im
portance of this service can be esti
mated by the fact that at least 60.000
soldiers ara on leave in Uindon every
week. Over half of these sleep In Y.
