Saigt. Palmer Tells of
Experiences in New York
The following is a letter received
by Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Palmer from
tl.eir son. Serin ant Jay Palmer of
Cutlery C, :'lh artillery, C. A. C
written at New York lefore he sailed
for France:
Camp Mills, l-ong Island, N. Y., Aug.
Lith. l'.'lX.
Dear Mother and fulka nt home:
This ia tie last letter you will get
from n.e in the V. S. The next one
will probably be from France, al
though there are serious rumors of
ua going to Italy. Hope we go to
France, but anything will do as long
as we get out. All of ua arc feeling
fine despite the hot weather. The
Oregon boys arc marching with 00
poimd packa on their barks in weath
er that is killing New Yorkers, and
not a one haa been sick pretty tough
bunch.
There was a . woman in Wisconsin
who said ns we came through: "Isn't
it a shame thnt our Wisconsin boys
have to associate with those rough
Oregon lioys." One of the boys said,
"Uml, Madam, we never saw a cow
till we hit Wisconsin." That sound?
like a atory but it's the absolute
truth.
Waa over to New York twice, took
a sight-seeing auto and saw nil prin
cipal parts of the city, the famous
Chinatown nnd the place where Thaw-
killed White. Spent moat of my time
on Hroadway. It sure is wonderful.
Took in "Ziegfields Follies," the cele
brated musical comedy. Won't trv
nnd explain aliout it now as 1 haven't
enough paper. Was over to Conev
Island Sunday night and srw some
really wonderful sights, some things
I'll never forget. There was lots of
dances but we were all bnrred on ac
count of our hobnailed trench shoes,
and aoldiers can't have beer, so we
merely looked on.
We thought we were well outfitted
before we left Stevens but have hnd
dozens of things added to it, "tin hats"
etc. Beauty has been sacrificed for
efficiency nnd wo nro a hard-looking
set. You enn hear ua coming for a
mile with our iron-lined heels.
We are all ns black aa Indians from
thia pitiless sun, and we only have
little overseas caps, juat liko skull
caps. This is the last letter that won't be
eens-ired, but I can't think of anything
elae to write. Don't worry about me,
for I'll get along all right ami I'm

Ha-s Picture of Kaiser
Tattooed on His Breast
BALTIMORE, Aug. 21. Special.
Because he had a picture of the Kaiser
tattooed on his breast, Arthur Ran
dolph Martin of Paden City, W. Va.,
is giing to undergo a serious and
painful operation so that he will not
be joshed nor his loyalty questioned
by his fellow marines after enlist-,
ment.
Martin was a tattooed man with a
circus in civil life. He is a regular
walking movie show. On his chest is
done a lurge picture of the German
war lord.
"I'm going to enlist in the marine
corps in a few days," Martin told the
recruiting sergeant, "but I'm going to
the hoapital first and have the piece
of skin that contains this thing re
moved and new skin grafted in its
place."

ARMY Y. M. C. A. ADOPTS
BUSINESS METHODS
Practical Men in Charge of
Big Movement in France
Which Helps Boys
By Clarence BudingUta K el land
PARIS. Aug. By MaU. If you
want a variety of things that ain't.
what do you do ? If you have several
thousand men on your hands who are
asking for randy which doe not exist.
for cookies and maccaroona and jam,
and there isn't sugar or chocolate or
flour or ovens to bake in, what's the
answer?
This is the situation in which Rov
John, divisional secretary of the T.
M. C. A., found himself. He had to
take care of the American soldiers in
a big district, so he took one long
look about the country and got on the
job.
First, there was the everywhere
present cry for candy. Sugar could
not be had, chocolate could not be had.
and John had no facilities, to manu
facture. He discovered a candy fac
tory that had been obliged to shut
Jown. That was one point gained. He
had the place to work but nothing to
work with. Then he went to the
army.
"You want candy. Come across
with sugar from the commissary.
For every pound of sugar you furnish
lie I'll return two pounds of the best
candy."
"You're on," said the army.
So John got his sugar. But he had
to have chocolate. There was a local
.-hocolate manufacturer, but he could
not sell to the Y. M. C. A. because all
his product was taken by the author
ities. This man, John discovered, had
bought a machine to be used in his
business. The machine weighed 600
pounds and it was a hundred miles
away. The railroad would not deliver
it. It was the war. Private freight
of that weight could not be handled.
The manufacturer had waited eight
months for his machine.
John went to him and said: "If
you will manufacture for me 2,000
kilos of chocolate every four weeks,
I'll get your doo-dad for you."
"Oh, Monsieur, it ees eempossible,"
said the manufacturer. "You could
not get me my machine."
"Will you make me my chocolate?"
"But yess. Monsieur if you deliver
my machine." I
That night John sent a motor truck
and two men after the machinery and
next noon it was set down at the door
of the chocolate manufacturer' place
of business. Since then the "Y has
gotten all the chocolate it needs in
that locality. Now the "Y" i turning
out for American soldiers in that dis
trict 600 pounds of first class choco
late cream candy every week and the
output is increasing.
Cookies and maccaroons and cakes
were wanted. John found idle baker
ies. Again he went to the army. Let
us have sugar and flour and we'll
mnke vou sweet cakes. Caccaroons
came firat because they require no
flour only almonds and sugar. In a
matter of days the Y. M. C. A. was
able to furnish maccaroons at a figure
two francs under the market price.
Now they are making glazed fondant
and cookies that make your mouth wa
ter, and regular American biaculL Al.
J ready they have turned out 8,000 kilos
SPAIN TO TAKE

MADRID, Aug. " a--V P. Th

-hat Spain had n a 'to Germany
declaring that Spain will temporarilv

from interned German tonnage.
The ministry dented rumor that .
Germany had broken diplomatic rela

We cannot further risk prejudicing

saa
if cakes, which translated into Amer
ican means 16,000 pound, or eight
ton. And all without material or
.-esources, .or help from Paris.
Jam waa wanted. Th district is
rich in fruit. A jam factory shut
town by th war was discovered and
et to work. Tha "Y" bought th
'ruit and skirmished th sugar. Th
nitial deal was for 12,000 thrse-franc
pails of jam. This was underselling
he local market by 60 cntims or ten
tents. Another 25 eerutisoes was to
as returned to th soldier when ha
irought back th jam paiL In tw
ireeks the 12,000 pails were sold to
the Amex boys but not a pail was
brought back. Every soldier you met
had one fastened to his belt.
The situation ha gotten to this
point The colonel in charge of a cer
Uain camp called up. "How about
tandy? Hy men are yelling for
jweeta!"
"Two hundred pound on th truck
for you this minute.' '
So the local enterprise of th Red
Triangle ia recognized by th army of
ficially. Men of a hospital train which make
this town one in a while war coos
plaining about their difficulty fat get
ting cigarettes and chocolate - d
supplies. " We're in plaea aa hoar
then out. No chance to buy. Tnen
we may be shunted off on an isolated
sidetrack to stay for day until need
ed. What can you do for us?"
The major in charge of th train
came to see about It.
"We'll install a canteen on your
train," said th "Y" man. "WU
stock you up, and you pay for it as
you see it Account to us when yon
have a chance. Well be ready te re
itock you at any time. Juat wire us
when you'll be here and how long and
what you need, and we'll have it on
the spot"
It worked beautifully. Now ever
couple of week a wire come to th
'Y," "Be in town 40 minute. Arrive
4. Need this, that and th other." And
always the stuff is ther for them.
Incidentally the "Y" has provided a
complete baseball outit to be used br
the crew during those weary Interval
when they are tied up on sidetracks.
Again: Th tobacco supply gsv
out. Train service wa tied np and no
new stuff could be had. But th men
must smoke. John went Into the
French market and bought what th
government would sell. It waa
enough to keep th boy in smoking
until their own supply of Amertcai
tobacco was replenisitd. :i
