% M. C< A. War Work Testimony by Dr. Maitland Alexander Pittsburgh, June 20.?The service rendered by the Young Men's Christian Association to American soldiers over seas is characterized as "one of the, most wonderful things of the war" by Dr. Maitland Alexander, formerly i moderator of the Presbyterian <Jen -f - j aly Assembly. Dr. Alexander recent- j ly returned from France after serv- j ing one year as director of religious : work both in American cantonments j and with the Army of Occupation. "In my opinion- the money given to j the Y. M. C. A. to cany on the warj work of the association was money i well spent," Dr. Alexander said. Dr. Ajexander, in his review of J "Y" war work, says that the organ-j , ization provided enough base oa 11 ? equipment for American soldici*s over seas to, supply both the National and American Leagues for 100 years.-one item alone being 2.250.000 baseball-. High' points of Dr. Aexander's re port show that the Y. M. C. A. estab lished., about. 3,700 shops in . France, more than 3.000 miles from the source of supplies: operated 50 large factories in France where biscuits, chocolate, jams and like articles were produced ^ conducted .'20 hotels and restaurants) trherer American soldiers and sailor.; were served-at 50 per cent of the cost . in civilian places: provided 2,000 huti a large tent, rented buildings, dugouts and. other centers as headquarters for the? different units of' the army and nayyr conducted 020 entertainments. Ninety thousand motion picture slio.vs were given. 4,000.000 feet of film be ing displayed, ?ecessitating the use of 800 motion picture machines. Three hundred thousand soldiers have en joyed vacations in centers established an? financed by "Y." Six hundred ed ucators were sent overseas to estab lish the University in Khaki. Distri butions include 5.000.000 books, 4. 003&..00<> pieces of religious literature. 2J?W0.?00 magazines. 10,000.000 news papers and 1,0.00.000 popular song books. Through its banking service the "Y" has enabled soldiers to male 325,000 remittances, aggregating more / than $20.000,000 to their families at home without charge *.

The following delightful letter imtn Miss Katie McKiever will probably be the last she will write from Franco as her time of service with the Red Cross has expired and she will soon be at home again: Hospital Center. Savenay. A. P. O. 939, A. E. F.. ' ? June ?. 1919. 11 >ear < 'harlie: One week from today, my labors with the A. R- C. A. E. F.. cease. Before that timelvl have about sev enty-live mortality letters to write. These letters refer to boys who died fully a year ago, so there is little we can tell about them except to give the tim place, cause and .manner- of th' leath and an account of the memorial service last Friday. It was by far the most impressive service 1 "ever attended. Everything went oft" so well and the chaplains who had charge deserve unlimited credit. At nine o'clock, we gathered outside the Red Cross ayditorum, officers, hos pital corps men,* patients from every branch of the service, and about five hundred American women. The band headed the procession. About five nundred of the soldiers carried flags instead of guns, and each o/ the nurses and Red Cross girls carried large bunches of red, while and blue flowers?poppies or red clover, daisies, and ragged-robin. The French school children and cadets also marched and carried flowers. The held adjoining the cemetery was tilled with those taking part in the procession so thai there was little room left for the peo ple of Savenay. When the band played "My Country. 'Tis of Thee" we sang it with a different feeling than ever before. Fr, Lynch, in his open ing prayer, brought out the fact that every creed, almost every nationality, and every branch of the service is represented in this little cemetery. There are a number of women buried there, one of whom is Mis** Delano. Chief of the Nursing Department of the Red Cross. It. was she who or ganized tlm nurses throughout the States and raised?the*; Standard for army nurses. While on a tour of in spection, she was taken sick at Save nay and died after a short illness. A selected ch'oir sang Kipling's "Reces sional," after which Col. Cooper intro duced the American Consul. His in tentions were probably good. but. tin Consul was a very poor speaker. The band then played a very familiar piece but I do not know the name of. it. The fife carried the air very ef fectively. By far the: best speaker ofS the day was {he Mayor of Nantes. His delivery was excellent and his words so expressive. He took advantage of the opportunity to thank the army, and the'Red Cross for what they had done for the poor and sick of Savenaj^ and he assured us that in years to come the citizens of Savenay would place flowers on the graves of our sol-, diers on Memorial Day. By a trick of fate. Fr. Lacare. who fled to America several years ago when the French government attempted to force priests to do military service, is now station ed at Savenay as a chaplain in the service of the American government He was born just a few miles from here. . It was he who translated the mayor's speech. After a hymn was sun^ by the choir. Chaplain Lamar asked the blessing. As th^ women and those soldiers who carried flac? took their positions by the graves, the band played "Love's Old Sweet Song.*' At the head of each grave stood a soldier holding a flag, and a! the foot a nurse with flowers. 1 At the close of the son?, the band played the 'Marseillaise." whereupon (he soldier planted the/flag in front of the cross and the nurse arranged the {lowers on the grave; then all stood at attention during 'The Star Spangled Banner.*' There were many pictures taken ami hope to get some prints of them, for it w;:s a lovely sight. The ceremony closed with three volleys and "trips.*' Yesterday morning, just as 1 was starting for Nantes in the Ford, someone handed me some mail, two letters from Papa and one from Whittaker. 1 am so glad Whit taker cot over to Sumter. He is a very nice .boy. and. when T knew him, was rather homesick. Eleanor and 1 went to Nantes to get our hair washed and draw our money out of the bank. It was good to be back in the old town. I believe if I drop into Nantes fifty years from now ni have a sort o.f homey fueling. We wen' out to the Center after lunch and found Sallie. Dorothy. Fred Hibbard and Bobby Broun bidding down the fort. They arc all that arc left of the old Red Cross Eleven family. My hospital has been evacuated and the unit is to s:?il about the fifteenth. Speaking of. coincidences, last Thursday Pearl Snyder asked me to ro to a dance with her and two officers from Montoiri They came np for us in a real car. One of them. Pearl's escort, was Lieut. Polk another of my 'Grampion' 'acquaintances. My es cort's face seemed very familiar, and be spoke of having seen me some where. Inning the course of the even ing I recalled having seen him al th "Faison d'Ur" whHo dining there with Mud the night i I<-H for Paris. Ii was the only evening he had ever spent in Nantes. The dance was quite the nicest I have attended in ;i long while, it was giv?-n by the Q. M. C. so. of course, they had the best of every thing. The officer patients who were at my hospital haw been transferred here. Elca-n?r and l u'?-t caught in storm other da\ and had to stop in t i s * - i r ;<-:n for shelter, We had little short of :i panic as th?-y were so delighted to see old acquaintances. When Pat ty went in there the following day to take orders, every other order was "Send the girls to see us." One of them i.s ;t regular army officer, whose home is in North Carolina. Wyndham Manning was in the same regiment with him. We'dined together Satur day evening and walked out into the country afterward. it doesn't ,grow dark here untii after tee. which makes! the evening delightful for walking. An old peasant woman gave us a Large ! biiiten of roses and showed us her I garden. When the captain w::s loav- j ing he said; "I've enjoyed this even ing more than you will ever know. It'.;! the first time .since I've been in France that I've been out with an hon est-to God American girl." On Thursday there was a church j procession through the streets, l had not realized before how many chil dren there are in Savenay. I had such .an interesting trip Sun day afternoon with Patty. Ellie, "Looty" Tyson and the adjutant. We went through Pont Ch?uteau and I Hergibuac to Gueronde, a completely walled city. Many cities have rem nants of walls, but this city* has a granite wail built by Jean V in 1431. Ten of the original eleven walls are stil! standing. The moat has been I made into a. boulevard. The church j was built in the twelfth century and ! has argoyles carved from granite, j We! visited Le Croisie. a combination fishing village and watering place. All through this section we passed thatch ! ed roof villages. There is a. purple I and pink flower that crows on the roofs that adds 1o the picture. We j were rather puzzled at the sight of j marshes cut into squares but have since learned that they evaporate ocean water for malting salt and stack the. salt under the clay mud of the marsh to keep it dry. .At H?tz we got out of the ear and played on the rocks. We had dinner in a lovely i rose garden under an arbor (the French call it "fonnelle") at the -it He town of Le Pouliguen. Yesterday was the fete of Jeanne d'Arc and [every village was decorated with re ligious and patriotic banners. After .dark we passed through Pant Chateau land there were Japanese lanterns in all the windows and much to our sur I prise the children had firecrackers. 1 have a lot Of Vkodak pictures, but find they make too large a package for registered mail so will bring them with me. Ellie and 1 areAjplan j ning a trip to England and Ireland j but can't get definite information until I we reach Paris. The army provides transportation for Red Cross workers land if your turn conies you have to .sail, leave or no leave. 1 hope the j children aren't, expecting much in the I way of presents, of course. 1 have I something for each of them, but ev j.-iything costs in France andT prices I will not bccouKOiormal until the A. E. i F. is out of France. Love to all. KATIE. Booth-Parrott. The leading sooia} event in Sumter this month has been the beautiful wedding of Miss Hassle Parrott and Phillip Booth.

Mr. Mercury (climbed up to the 93rd stepping stone, j mixing up the smoke from the mul \ titude of smoke stacks, so that it made ;one feel he is getting-a taste of the place.P.o one wants to go to. After securing quarters for the night [we took a living trip to Bell Isle, a beautiful island on the shore of Lake Erie, but this did not diminish in the least the scorching heat of the day. While there we bad taken in Bell View (the Coney Island of Detroit) and have shot the chutes, bumped the bumps., drunk ????or beer and delighted our appeti^s ?.. uh pop corn. Mich' gan being dryer than South Carolina. Pabst and Sch?tz could not work their magic charms to subdue the ef fects of the hot sun rays, so that we have placed ourselves entirely under the protection of pop and root beer. Michigan and Ohio are enforcing the law vigorously, and it appears to me that they are succeeding, as ?-bay? not noticed a single drunk man. or one who is partly drunk in the last ten days through the States of Ohio and Michigan. Excise officers are station ed on every road on the State line and every vehicle is examined before en tering the State. My car was searched las 1 crossed the State line of Mich i igan and luckily they found only gas j oiine. and water, containing a legal per fcentage of alcohol. They have i not tested the water in the radiator, j taking it for granted that it was hot ; enough to evaporate all the alcohol I before I got to Detroit. ! By this time' I have forgotten my j disappointment in not having been \ able to fake a ride through one of I John Bull's Dominion (Canada) and 1 want to say a few words about trav eling through the Empire State of ! New York, undoubtedly Xew York has the best public highways in the union.- T have already traveled through thirteen States over all kinds of roads, and while the riding is more pleasant and safer on sand-clay roads, macdam roads are the most substan tial and most economical. Concrete and brick roads are smoother and better than macadam but they are considerably more expensive. The greatest part of the improved roads in the East and West are ht' macad am, but unless they are kept in good repair they are not worth even the las! syllable of it:; name, as they have to use field roads in many places in preference to the main roads. Xew York State is the only state that keeps its road in good repair at ?? times. Driving in a car from Xew j York city to Buffalo, is very interest ing by way of Liberty. Elnrira and Rochester, as this route winds through the Oatskil! Mountains and lb" se.en ! Cry is wild. g'>rg<-ons and fascinating, i Here you are. up and down all the time. First you arc way down in the reep ravines and then- you wind around the mountain top and you can jsee the hills and valleys for miles in j every direction, and then you glid* ! down (he mountain in a spiral like an, j aeroplane and follow the valley] [among thrifty setters and prosperous I villages. j While traveling I have noticed that I all sections of the country are work ing hard on road improvements and work is being done on all roads, showing that the country as a whole realizes the benefits of goo' ror :. Tomorrow I have an appointment with the manager of the Studebaker Company to go through their manu facturing plant, and then I will take ? look at Ford's village and start for Mooseheart, 111.. Wednesday morning to attend the Supreme Lodge conven-j tion of the Loyal Order of Moose and it being only 35 miles from Chicago, will take a look at the windy city near the lake. ^ Respectfully. S.

Miss Mamie, be came the bride of Mr. Clarence VV. Brunson of the Concord community. Rev. Mr. Triplett. pastor of the bride and groom officiated, and most impressively united "two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one." The vows were spoken in the living J room, in the presence of relatives and i friends. There were no attendants, tin- Pride and bridegroom entered to gether to the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March played by Mrs. Pretto Otey of Sumter. Tile bride, who is an exceptionally attractive girl, wore a gown of white Georgette, over satin, with pearl trimmings. Her bouquet was a large hunch of peonies tied with white tulle. Miss Black well was for several years a teacher of Sumter county] where she was very popular as well J as successful. She always took so j much interest in her work and pupils j and for this reason has scores of j friends all over the country. The' groom is a son of Mrs. H. P.

Labor For League Covenant Cable Message From President Received in Response to In quiry as to Labor Provisions ?Chief Executive Says They Have Been Weakened but Not Materially in His Opinion. Atlantic City, June 20.?Organized labor today indorsed the league of na tions covenant and the labor provi ! sions it contains which, according to eabjfc message from President Wil son, have been weakened although not materially. In giving its approval by a vote of 29.7.r?0 against 420, the reconstruction convention of the American Federa tion of Labor made it clear that noth ing in the indorsement can be coa strued as denying the right of sek" determination and freedom to Ireland as recognized by this convention. An amendment containing the Irish pro vision was unanimously adopted. The president's cablegram in reply to one sent him by Samuel Gompers. president of the. federation, asking in formation about changes reported in press dispatches, follows: "Your message came while I was in Belgium and reached me too late to make full reply, fyut as I indicated in an earlier message, while the labo'* provisions are somewhat weakened, it is the opinion -of friends of labor and my own opinion that they are not ma terially weakened and that they will constitute a most serviceable magna ein. *tn. Will cable labor provisions, but; fear it will be too late for the convention." Mr. Gompers' message to the presi dent said in part: "Upon my advice the executive coun cil of the American Federation of Labor has recommended to the con vention now in session' the indorse ment of the league of nations, includ ing the labor provisions. Reports published here indicate that the labor provisions have been so changed and weakened as to practically nullify their effectiveness. "I can not ask the rank and file of labor to indorse provisions which in any way have been made valueless.'* The message closed by asking a prompt reply, definite information and a copy of the provisions affecting labor "as now framed." Both the messages were read to the convention. A third message received from the American peace delegation in Paris, through the state depart ment in which the changes made in the labor previsions were enumerated, also was read. It follows: "Omit from protocol 2 article 7 th^ senate which reads: 'No high con tracting party, together with its do minions and colonies whether self governing or not. shall be entitled to nominate more than one member.' "Refer also to communication con cerning the adoption of articles which were submitted by Sir Robert Bor den. "Since changes of which you have already been fully informed no change whatever lias t>een introduced into the labor clauses of article XIII of the treaty. The only recommenda tion'introduced by the labor commis sion in the final version of the treaty not found in the draft' treaty is a provision for the more effective pro tection of the rights of heneficaries of social insurance in ceded terntorj' as follows: "In case the special conventions are not concluded in accordance with the above article within three months af ter the signing of the peace treaty, conditions of transfer shall in each case be referred to a commission of five members, one of whom shall be appointed by the government, one by the other interested governments and three by the governing body of the international labor office from the na tionals of other states. This com mission shall, by majority vote, with in three months after appointment adopt recommendations for submis sion to the league of nations and the decision of the council shall forth with be accepted as final by Germany and the other governments concern ed." i NOTICE, SCHOOL ELECTION Shiloh School District No .20.

The "Y" Made Good Philadelphia, June 21.?In a state ment made.public today, the Execu tive Committee of the Army and Navy Department of the Brotherhood of St. ' Andrew presents a report made to it 4 upon the A. E. F. activities of the Y.: M. C. A. by Benjamin F. F' incy, its i Chiefs Secretary. In his report Mr.., Finney speaks frankly of the Y. M. C I A. criticism, and says that the tide has turned. . Mr. Finney, who is not connected with the Y. M. C A. in any way, went % overseas in March on a special com mission for the Brotherhood of St. AnT drew. In citizen clothes he visited the ports of embarkation for home, the back, areas, famous battlefields, and the'Army of Occupation. His re-., port is,as follows: "Everywhere I we,nt I found t' TA: M. C. A. It is doing a wonu? \\ piece of work. There has been cm-. \ icism of it among the doughboys, esr pecially in the port cities, because of ; misunderstandings but the tide has turned, and now they are praising it. -t "The men of the 'A. E. F. flock to ,the Y. M. C. A. leave area as the next' best thing to going home. I went down to the Nice area on a dough-boy. special, which is one of the two trains leaving Paris every day for the leave ' area. The *Y' has made arrange:- ; ments with the government for these - trains. Red tape has been cut out, '. and the man's pass is the only ticket' required; in fact, it is the only ticketf accepted on either of these trains. "While traveling about I talked with.-, both enlisted men and officers about the Y. M. C A. I found that when ever a dough-boy publicly made some . criticism he was immediately called-"* upon to defend himself by other, dcugh-boys. "I talked with some major generals and found them unanimous in assert-" ing that the 'Y' had done a remark able piece of work under adverse , circumstauces. One general, whose, j men made names for themselves in the Chateau Thierry fighting, told me * that the *Y* was right up front with ; his men during that engagement L? do not know, and neither do the men. what they would .do without the''Y'.* "Everywhere I went I found it at work. The other welfare organiza- : tions are doing good work, too, I was - told about them but I did not see them in action. "The soldiers of the A. i E. F.'look ' to the *Y* as a general guide, and source of information. It is the* friend of all." Sometime ago the Brotherhood of St Andrew issued a statement on*the war work of the 'Y' in the United States. At that time it did not take., up their overseas work, because full information was not at hand. Mr. Finney's report backs up the statement made by the.
