Ft. Casey, Wash., June 17, 1918. Editor of the Enterprise, Indepen dence, Oregon: Dear Sir: Herewith the account of tonight's incident: The secretary was interviewing the Fort Commander this afternoon when the Captain of one of the companies came in and said one or his men nau received a telegram from his wife that their little 8 months old baby was dead, and he desired a furlough.This man lives in Pennsylvania, therefore much money as well as time was re quired. The secretary met the man as he was walking away from the office and the heartbroken look on his face was pitable to see. A few questions put the secretary in possession of the de tails and a way to help get money was then the main problem it was requir ed that the "man show enough money for the round trip before the furlough would be granted. All the loose cash in the man's company had been given him and when he met the secretary at the Post Exchange some time later, he lacked but twenty-one dollors of the desired amount.. The secretary decided to go before the audience in the moving picture hall and make an appeal for help. No sooner said then v. fld thfi man to eo over to the Y. M. C. A. and wait till he came back. 1 At the theatre there was a Dana ton cert going on and it lacked about 20 minutes till time to start the show, the concert stopped, the secretary seiz ed the opportunity and getting up on a chair, told in graphic words the tale of sorrow that had fallen on one of their comrades an appeal was made for the $20 and the hats were passed, when the change was counted there was $42.25. Oh you can't beat the generosity of the soldiers. Loyal to the last cent in an emergency, we are rlgthly proud of them. And it is just such times as this that the Association Secretary in the Y. M. C A. War work, serves the men of the army. We are glad to do it. ... i i rnnWiniwtiir mnrninc this SSCl DUt .tfnl aoldier will be speeding East- tn eomfort the bereaved wife nd mother. We never know when our turn will come, so we are glad we can help out a comrade when he needs help. Very truly yours, CARL BINGMAN.
