Lines and lines of sodden e nvas housed 27,000 men, gathered from 27 different states. The groun 1 was dotted with Pools and quagmires. Under the wet canvas it was damp and cold, with a penetrating chill. Lit by flickering candles, tbe tents were far from cheer ful shelter for a man’s last nigbt in his native land. But there wer» seven hig term where electric lights, numbers and friendliness made tne night pleasant 3 T wm least is on its way to you.

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.

In many of tne camps the asso- elation has a singlng director, who is teaching the men to sing the popular and martial airs that do so much to keep up their spirits. Of 64 Y. M. C.
