Bnapshota of Kaleidoscopic Work.
In all the big cities in France where
our men pass through In large num
bers, the Y. M. c. A. la operating
hostels, where they can get beds and
meals at a minimum coot. In London
the American Y. M. C. A. nas erected
a large building for our soldiers and a
clubhouse for American officers.
There are Y. M C. A. dugouts right
behind the front line trenches, where
the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack
ers and other comforts at all hours.
Over 2,000 mon who had been reject
ed on account of physical disability
have been able to get Into the British
army by reason of the physical work
of the British Y. M. C. A.
A fleet of motor cars leaves the big
Y M. C. A. headquarters In London at
midnight every night to pick up sol
diers who are wandering about the
streets without any wholesome lodging
in which to spend the night. These
cars aia operated by Englishwomen
of position and refinement, who report
that they never meet any discourtesy
at the hands of the soldiers. The im
portance of this service can be esti
mated by the fact that at least 50.000
soldiers are on leave In London every
week. Over half of these sleep in Y.
M. C. A. beds every night.
Entertainment on Vast Scale.
The Y. M. C. A. has ereoted a big
auditorium, s-ating 3,000, lu each of
the big draft cam,«, and huge Chautau
qua tents, seating 2 500 in the otner
encampments. The association Is run
ning a 22 week entertainment circuit
among the oamps and is paying 16
ccmranies of entertainers, who are
traveling to 30 camps performing be
fore the men.
In each of the draft camps the Y.
L C. A. has ten secretaries engaged
in educational work. The association

cannot speik English is .aught to do

keep up their spirits.
