Ths Letter
"Casualties had occurred among our
soldlersj^ust before we arrived at <mr
village,' the letter reads, "and we were
ordered to get under cover of our ds
suits. After a supper of chocolate, war
bread, and canned beef, the six of us sec
retaries were ordered to the cellar of
the 'Y,' together with fifty soldiers who
happened to be In the old shell-torn
building, as the boche were beginning
dies, a big basketful of canteen ap
plies, to last us in case we should bfre
to be dug out later, overcoats and blan
kets. We fitted our ga? masks on to
be sure they were working well, and
then settled down?or tried to?In the
dungeon. We expected to have to stay
all nlgnt, but in an hour a sentry call
ed, 'All out,' and up we gladly w?ot
The rest of the evening we spent up
Btalrs In one of the reasonably wbole
rooms, with piano and song* and ? to
rte? and the ever-present and wonder
ful canteen, at which I took my tura
% "Needless to say, I slept none' that
night, with all the bang and noise ovt
side, but nobody does, I'm told, the
first night The night before I got
about two hours of dozing with a ttlfT
nock, sitting up In a crowded night
train, but, strange to say, 1 never felt
the lack of it for a minute.
**We were up the next morning at
une bonne I'.eure, and after breakfast
at the officers' mess Clarke and I
started off for the trenches, each of
us ladened with about fifty pounds of
canteen supplies besides our belmet,
gas masks, carried aC all times at
'alerts/ etc.
"For two hours we pursued a tor
tuous way among the various lines of
trenches and connecting trenches,
stopping frequently to dispense our
popular wares among the boys, some
repairing the trenches, some building
new ones, some on sentry duty, some
bleeping in the dugouts, some mail
ing guns and watching for German
heads.
"As we entered the front-line
trenches, we suddenly ran into Secre
tary IJaker and accompanying officers.
I stepped aside as well ns I could, sa
luted and said, 'Good morning, Mr.
Secretary.' As they passed I heard
one of the officers say to the Secre
tary, 'You Bee, Mr. Secretary; "the "Y"
men are right up in the front-line
trenches with the boya'
"Time was flying, and we knew
there were still more soldiers further
on who would be glad to see us. Soon
we entered 'No Man's Land' by means
of a ?*ench, a land which we had
seen freni the rear lines in the dis
tance au hour earlier, all uprooted anj
torn an1 desolate, and after some min
utes we crawled, hot and winded, into
a shell hole?the furthermost llstening
?pwmpvfr
on- Kuard. all very much aleri
They gave us a waffil ui'lumj",
we conducted our communications jn
low whit[?ers, for there were iMree
German snipers in three different dl
rectlons only seventy-five feet away.
"Needless to say, our gunnysacks
were empty when we came out We
hurried back to the sign of the Red
Triangle in the village, drank a cup
of hot chocolate, and started in again
In another direction.
"We watch?d the explosions getting
closer and closer, each" one preceded
by the weirdest kind of a wall and
whine through the air, and then dur
ing a lot-up we rushed across the open
and into the dugouts in an erobank
ment, where our. second park of sup
plies disappeared.
"Two of the secretaries had been
gassed the day before we arrived, at
this place, and ore slightly wounded
by shrapnel, while others were break
ing under the-physical strain and need
ed relief. I'm sure we will hear- of
fatalities soon, but since my experi
ence in the trenches 1 don't ask the
question any more ? 'Is it worth
while?' Never was such an opportun
ity given to man to serve his fellow
men as this.
"Pass the word on, and pass It
quickly, that five hundred of the most
capable, earnest, and big-souted Chris
tian men are needed here today in ad
dition to the weekly stream that Is
coming. We are cabling New York j
frequently, but they don't come. It is

The Poor Man's War.
The curbstone critic, fished a 6-cent
cigar out of his pocket and aired his
views. "It's not my war?nor yours.
It's a rich man's war. Let him fight
It."
TI.e man fn 'he overalls with th^*
dinner pail, who had stopped to wait

?Where did you pet that hunch,
friend? My boss lias two sons. Both

have got exemption if he had tried,
and to give them their due they didn't
try. Now take me. I've got three
grown sons. One baa a wife and two

them. One works in a shipyard.
He'll stay In this country. The third
drives a truck. He'll go toFrance.

"He's making money out of the war
and we're payine: for it. aren't we?"
"Some rich men are making money.
