From being given the cigarette OJ I chocolate bar, with which he stays lii? 'hunger in the fury of battle, to th? 'theatrical entertainment or the ath iletie games, which relax him into nor i mal comfort after Weeks of terrlrh combat; the American lichter is de .pendent upon the continued efforts ol the Y. M. C. A., tho Y. W. C. A., th? National Catholic War Council and K of C., the War Camp Community Serv !ice, the Jewish Welfare Board, tin 'American Library Association and th? ' Salvation Army. To carry on thi; work the combined welfare organiza lions are seeking a fund of $170,500, ;ooo. , The Y. M. C. A. provides 53S huts ir .American training camps and mon' 'than SOO in tbe war zone as cent rei 1 which the fighters can use as clubs [schooist, theatres, stores, churches, li libraries and writing rooms. More thai 7,000 men and women had been sen overseas or approved for oversea] ?work by early autumn and wen ?serving In American camps at home. ! Y. M. C. A. huts are the canteens o! ! the American Expeditionary Force and' jare the theatres where the American .entertainers, sent over by the "Y," ap (pear. Noted American public men and ?clergymen speak in the huts. Classes j are conducted there. Millions of letters (are written there on paper provided ?free by the "Y." Physical directors ol . the "Y" roach and spread mass ath j letics, using material furnished free ?by the organization. The Y. W. C. A. does similar work j for the thousands of American women . in war work overseas-signal corps (t?l?phone operators, nurses and ! French munition workers. It provides I cafeterias, rest and recreation centres. . entertaiirment and reading for these I women aud girls. j The Y. W. C. A.'s outstanding con I tribution to soldier welfare work in .training camps was the establishment ! of Hostess Houses, where thc soldier or sailor may receive his mother, wife, sister or sweetheart in the surround ings and atmosphere of the best homes. The National Catholic War Council co-ordinates all Catholic welfare work in support of the government and . through the K. of C provides club houses for our fighters in all Ameri can training camps, as well as having seventy-five centres in France and three in England. In their huts the K. of C. provides entertainingment, movies, boxing bouts, educational work, religious services, free station ery, reading matter and writing rooms?. In France their rolling canteen ac companies the American army, their secretaries march wi^i the troops, giv ing away cigarettes, cookies, choco lates, soap and towels. The K. of C. had 300 workers in France at the beginning of autumn, with 450 more passed by the govern ment and 200 others signed up. At the same date they.had 46S secretaries in American training camps, 150 build ings, fifty-six moro in the course ol erection and contracts let for fifty more. War Camp oornmunity Service functions exclusively in America, its special mission bein? to "surround the camps with hospitality." In place of leaving the soldier or sailor to the promiscuous companions and diver sions formerly his lot, the organiza tion obtains for him tho best to be had in communities adjoining camps or through which he passes. W. C. C. S. obtains for him invita tions to dine, bathe or spend the day in the best homes. It introduces him to the best women and girls at social gatherings, church entertainments, theatre parties. It arouses communi ties to provide concerts, athletic con tests and other wholesome diversions for the soldier, and to drive out or discourage the vicious elements which have been historic camp followers. The Jewish Welfare Board is corre lating the strength and purposes of 100.000 Jewish soldiers, sailors and marines with that of the Gentile sol diers. The board teaches the English language, American civics and ideals to thousands of young Jewish men who were inducted into service after only a fev. years' residence in this country. While safeguarding his re ligious rites, the board assists In-the process ol welding the Jewish soldier! into the solid American unit and in bridging over the differences between him and the others. | Hie American Library Association ls providing reading matter for every I America.", soldier, sailor, marine and j prisoner of wnr. In addition to gath-| gering und forwarding three miiiioD, books eootriboted by the American people the association bought 500271 books, most!y technical, o? which 19S, 267 were sent overseas. More than L500.000 books of all kinds have been assigned to libraries in Y. M. C A., K. of C. or Salvation Army huts in the war ?me, a similar number being dis tributed in American training camps, while half a million are on warships or transports. The association bas erected and operates forty-one library buildings. The Salvation Army, with L2I0 workers, principally women, overseas, has won the affection of the fighters. Its 5301 huts, rest and rondin? rooms are populnr gathering places for the soldiers. The doughnuts fried by Sal vation lassies in huts or trenches and given to thc men have become famous around the world. The Salvation Army gave forty-four ambulances to the American and Allies' a?inos and in many other ways gives constant un selfish service. Co!. Barker Bids Godspeed to the Graduates of Train ing School. Tho whole-souled co-operation be tween tlie seven great organizations working for the happiness and welfare of our soldiers and sailors was re cently illustrated at the graduation exercises of the tenth class of the Jewish Welfare Board's Training School in New York. CoL William S. Barker, who went to France represent ing the Salvation Army with the first contingent of our troops and has been "over there" fifteen months, was tire principal speaker and wished tho fifty eifiht Jewish workers of the class God speed, while Louis Marshall, the promi nent Jewish attorney and philanthro pist of New York, lauded the work of the Salvation Army among the boys at the front "What our fighting boys need ls in spiration and heart and character in those who are there to help them," declared Col. Barker. "You will rep resent in tlie camps and overseas the ideals and standards of the Jewish faith, and it is up to you above all things to be consistent in your re lierions practices. Practice what you preach. That, I am sure, has been the secret of our own success. If you live up to the principles of your faith and give what you have to give from a heart big with love, the boys will re spect you, whether they be Protestant, Catholic or Jew." The newly graduated field workers will make a total of 2C0 men doing field work in our camps and naval training stations under the auspices of the Jewish Welfare Board. The Board has about fifty "huts" in the various camps and maintains centers in all lursc cities where soldiers and sailors of all faiths are welcomed. A headquarters has recently been estab lished in Paris, and 100 men are bein; recruited here for overseas work. There are now nearly 125,000 Jew; serving in the army and navy.

MIEN'S Ji flS THE ONLY " ft B ?r' P E ITS" 880 WOMEN NEEDED BY SALVATION ARMY Commander Evangeline Booth Says War Relief Work Must Be Extended. Commander Evangeline Booth, lead er o? the Salvation Army in the Unit ed States, lias been suddenly called upon to furnish SOO additional war work women for France. The request is contained in a report just received by her from Col. William A. Barker of the Salvationist forces, whom she I sent to France over a year ago to es tablish hutment and general war relief work with the American troops. "We will do all we can to fill this demand," said Commander Booth when discussing the approaching United War Work Campaign, "and the need itself should impress the American public all the more with the absolute necessity for sdstaining and enlarging the war relief work of the seven or ganizations, besides the noble Bod Cross, now merged for a drive for funds. Each ls a vital cog in a vast machine for human relief, and each is indispensible, serving its particular elements in its own way. "The Salvation Army was born in hardship, reared in privation and trained to every phase of human mis ery and how to cope with it. Perhaps that accounts in some degree for the success our work has attained and for which we are thankful. "We are of the common people, and we toi! on a practical basis. We len ru ed .tho lesson of how to do it in tho Boer wor, when we stood at the side of .Britain's troops and weathered it out to the end. We have been tried by fire, and the mothers and fathers of America, ns in other countries, trust the Salvation Army to do the thing they would like to do for their men if they but had the chance. . _"With 1,210 trained workers at the front, operating from 420 huts and dugouts, the Salvation Army is doing, has done and will continue to do Its best for the cause of humanity and Liberty." NEAR Ti CAMPS Community Service Takes Place of Mother, Friends and Home for Soldiers. Ten young officers of the Strident! Army Training Corps of the Universi ty of Detroit recently applied for a j furnished house and a housekeeper. who would not be a sonant, but, as1 one young officer expressed it, "the! sort of woman lo whom the boys can' call out 'Hello, mother!* when they come in the front door." Homesickness is the malady fori which War Camp Community Service: supplies innumerable cures. "We've got your number." says the j W. C. C. S. to the homesick boy from j camp with leisure to spend in any one; of the three hundred towns scattered i over the country. While he's wonder ing what on earth he'll do with him self when he gets there, not knowing a j soul in town and with a limited per centage of his "thirty per" in his pock et, along comes a friendly printed card j from the local branch of his own lodjre i announcing a reception that night es pecially for soldier members. By the sanio mail the Methodist church sends au announcement of all its uuvtings, addressed to him, with This Means You printed at the bottom. How did tiley know he was a Methodist? He had forgotten about the little "Fersonal Card" he made out at the adjutant's request during his first day in camp when it was only one of tho endless details in the round of dentists and doctors and general confusion. The W. C. C. S. had not only his num ber, but his name and address, his home town, the name of the school he'd gone to and a good bit about the ? things he was fondest of doing-each .fact xVj-itten into a little blank on th? curd especially fur it. - ;[uaffiMfiBflBfi i-i flow To Givo Quinine To Children; FEBEII-INE is the trade-mark name {riven to an improved Quinine.
