of the National Commission on
Training Camp Activities, who has just
\ ' returned from an extended trip over[
seas, during which he conducted a
thorough investigation of the work
being done by the various war work
agencies.
"I found them in dugouts thirty or
forty feet below ground, in cow-barns
v where shrapnel had blown parts of
the roof away, as well as in the substantial
huts and tents far baok from
^ / the firing .line.
"I have found them in hospitals and
\ dressing stations; in scattered villages
In the training area where our men are
billeted and even In the remote parts
of France where the forestry units are
carrying out their lonely, but efficient
^ and essential work. Your books are in
, continual demand from the time the
> soldiers arrive in camp in America
' > until they come back home after service
over there."
