"While eertain branches of the wort the . National War ' Work Council qi the Y. M. C. A. has been doing for scat time are being curtailed, one type ol service is being called upon for more co-operation than ever before. Al though for some time there have been approximately 400 to 500 entertainers in France, many difficulties have sur rounded this type of service and thr thousands of shows which have been given in France have only been put over in spite of almost superhuman difficulties. Now, however, with the period of demobilization forcing upon the Army new problems has a Teal spirit of co-operation been shown by the Army authorities. Therefore, Gen eral Pershing has detailed Colonel Kelly, from his own Staff, to act as entertainment officer for the A. E.'F which position places him as the liai son officer between the Army and the "Y" Entertainment Bureau In Paris. Theatres and large buildings are be ing taken over, mechanics supplied by' the Army are putting thenvinto opera- ticn and the "Y" is producing shows,' given by soldier talent alone, and also dramatic and vaudeville performances and miscellaneous musical programs, the personnel of all of which must'be recruited from this country. . Owing to the large number of men in the Army with entertainment abih ity, no, effort Is being made to send men from this side. Women, however, are wanted for these positions in large numbers. 125 must be sent out from this country every month, which will require the co-operation :of every re cruiting agency throughout the coun try. All entertainers are supplied with uniforms, Life, Accident and Health Insurance, transportation, and allow' $150.00 per month for living expenses in France. .' The women should be preferably be 'tween 'the ages of 23 and 30, neat and attractive .and possessed of-a pro nounced ability in their particular line. The . field for entertainment now reaches from - the coast towns " in France right up and into Germany) for while the "Y" cannot do much with the Army of Occupation in the way of Canteen, it can supply entertainment and is doing so on an increasingly large scale.

Where Napoleon lit tnd King Edward VII of England spent many leisure hours the American en listed men are now at play. The fan pus yacht club at Cannes, founded and patronized by King "Edward, and St; Sauveur, where the third Napoleon was wont to go 'with his court, indicate the variety of attractions offered by the Y, M. C. A. in the leave area system oper ated In co-operation with the military authorities. From the Alps to the Pyr- i onnes and from the Brittany toast to the Riviera, there are seven "Y" leave areas in which 50,000 soldiers can be entertained at one time. Preparations are now under way to increase these much-appreciated facilities- to double their present; capacity. Representatives of the army and of the Y. M. C. A. are now traveling from nne end of France to the other seel ing new spots in which to set up leave areas. The experiment at Aix-les-Bains has been successful from the start, as America now knows pretty wet from first-hand information ; carried home by Mrs. Theodore Rloosevelt, Jr., who organized the woman's canteen work at AIx. v -V "Aches and Pains" was an Ideal spot for the experiment, but six others have oeen found and put ill operation, each equally satisfactory as the original racdel. Consequently it is with opti mism "that the army and the "Y'seet to increase the centres where sure cures - have beeji found for homesick doughboys. ; ; ' Location, climate, hotel accommoda tions, opportunities for entertainment and sight-seeing and the moral and 4 physical cleanliness of the - area are all-important in the selection of f: a leave resort. As soon as a site ' is selected the largest available' is ob tained by the Y. M. C. A; as -Its main center of operations," men and women are assigned to service and neg6ti atiqns are begun to secure reduced prices .from ; such entertainment en terprises as cannot be duplicated by the Y. M. C. A. and every effort is ktade to give as much service as pos sible. The army provides transport tation and pays the hotel bills, thereby enabling the soldier to enjoy all the attractions formerly restricted to kings and emperors and malefactors of great wealth. - r - s The Jetty Casino at Nice and the Municipal Casino, at Cannes - are the centres of attraction in the Rfviera for the 8,500 men who can be accom modated in this area. Many officers favor this Mediterranean section and there Is a "Y" club for them: -'"...Brery-thing except the gambling that was stopped by the government at the be ginning of the war is at the disposal of the Americans.
