Found Where Battle Is Hot

"If you want to know what the Y.
C. A. njeans to the soldiers, go where
the lighting is hot," is the regular
reply of the American soldiers in
Prance, according to a cablegram re*
ceived recently by the National War
Work Council telling of more secretaries
who. have been under liquid
fire attacks, as well as gas and shell
fire. The American Expeditionary officers
have sent scores of letters to
the Paris headquarters of the T
praising the work of the Red Triangle
workers, declaring them to be indispensable.
More
than a thousand "Y" secretaries
are in advanced positions and
dugouts under constant shell fire.
There; are no quitters and they refuse
to be relieved, saying that where
the troops go the Y. M. C. A. will stick.

BESTOWED ONT'HERO
Red Triangle Worker Wounded by
Hun Machine Gun at 6oiasons,
Toul and Chateau Thierry
New York, August 25.?Flat on hi?
back in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, W.
A. Roberts, who has been awarded
three French war medals for bravery
in the fighting zones, is enjoying a
well-earned rest, and is talking freely
of almost anything but why the
French government showered honors
upon him. j
Mr. Roberts, a Y. M. C. A. worker
in France, had bestowed upon him the
Croix ae Guerre, the badge of the
Legion of Honor, and the Medal Militaire.
He won them all in three
Ill U11 wild.
Roberts was assistant auditor of the
Michigan Central railroad before he j
was selected to be auditor of disburse-1
ments for the Y. M. C. A. in France,
and to handle more than a quarter of !
a million dollars a day. He left for j
overseas service February 12, was j
wounded by a Hun machine gun at j
Soissons, rescued a "Y" secretary amid
a ball of bullets in the Toul sector
and was touched up by German marksmanship
again at Chateau Thierry.
Y.M.C.A.NEEDS MEN
IN SOUTHERN CAMPS
While Red Triangle Continues to Call
for Overseas Workers, 1,000 Are
Wanted for Home Service
Atlanta, Ga., August 25.?Men endowed
with the element of leadership
are needed by the Army and Navy
Y. M. C. A. to serve in the camps of
the Southeast
Dr. W. W. Alexander, general recruiting
secretary for the War Personnel
Board of the Y. M. C. A. War
Work Council, declares that there Is a
pressing need for home service, and
that this affords a splendid opportunity
to the man of middle age who Is
not able to go abroad under the Red
Triangle.
"The Y. M. C. A. needs men for
- IV.
overseas service, or course, dui mw j
home camps must not be* forgotten,"
explained Dr. Alexander. "From now
on until the first of the year the
Southeast must recruit 1,000 men for
the home camps. This means that
each state will he called upon to furnish
25* men per month per state to
serve the soldiers in camps such as
Gordon, Jackson, Wheeler and the j
others. The constant growth of the i
home cantonments and the growing j
demand for the T. M. C. A. work!
makes it necessary to recruit "Y"
workers for this side."

What the Kaiser Forgot.
It would take columns to tell; j
what the Kaiser remembered in get- i ]
ting ready for this war?all the1 j
items of military equipment, store- '
rooms of information collected by 1
his spies, order forms in blank for I
the destruction of Belgian cities, I
etc.?but there was one thing the 1
Kaiser forgot. He thought it was I
perfectly safe to risk the coming oi <
the United States into the war be- I
cause he believed we could not raise i
an effective army in time.
He knew we had the men and that I
we could make the munitions, but he 1
knew further that men and muni- t
tions without competent trained offi-1 ,
cers are not an army, but a mob, and (
the Kaiser was sure we did not have I
the officers and could not get them.1 j
