GOVERNMENT SCALE
Cordova Mill & Lumber Co.
History tells us that. Rome's military
power could not crush Carthage. But
an ally finally helped her destroy Han
nibal's army. That ally was profli
gacy, causing disease. Thus fhe great
est of the ancient commercial empires
i perished. No such foul ally will be
permitted to help the kaiser against
the American troops. l»rofiting by
earlier war lessons. America is enter
ing at a time when the need of morale
among the fighting men is now fully
rrecognized.
AVe are bringing the home nearer to
the men in the training camps arid the
trenches than ever before in the his
tory <af the nation. Never has an army
gone forth guarded against tempta
tion, Cheered and helped with home
comforts and home type of recreation
as are our boys in khaki. It is the
business of the Red Triangle to sup
plement the work of the Red Cross.
Y. M- C. A. Is a Club
When a soldier gets to a camp he
reports for enrollment, gets assign
ment to his company, reports to com
pany commander and is assigned to
his bunk. After arranging matters
here he reports for drill, and when he
Is off duty he goes over to the nearest
Y. M. C. A. building, where he mingles
with men of every kind and creed. R
is his club house.
At the Y. M. A. A. club house are
long rows of benches and seats filled
by young men. reading, writing, smok
ing, chatting. There are paper and
ink. pens and pencils. The first thing
is to write home. While he is writing
someone over in the corner is playing
the Victrola, another group are playing
checkers, while others are singing.
Work of Secretaries
At one side of the room is a desk
with one or more secretaries, where
you may buy stamps or other impor
tant necessities hard to find else
where. At least one man will tran
slate letters written in foreign lan
guages; they also read and write for
men who cannot do this well. Off in
another corner is the Y. M. C. A.
library, with books from the aajjpcia
tion libraries or from the Amefican
Library Association. The books are
selected to cover every grade of in
telligence and education.
No Restraint, Yet Decency
Everywhere there is ease and free
dom, club life, nearly home life; an
absence of restraint amid an atmo
sphere of decency and cleanliness that
distinguishes everywhere the sur
rounding? of such homes as the Y. M.
C. A, provide? for !hfi men when off
duty.
Sunday Services
On Sunday every Y. M. C. A. has
its services and every denomination
can get an assignment for a period for
its services. Catholics and Jews use
this same building for their services
at appointed hours. In the evening the
■services are of a non-denominational
type. No denomination is allowed to
proselyte. It is understood in the
Y. M. C. A that a man’s religion is
his own, and no effort is to be made
to draw him from one faith to an
other.
Recreations
As a change from the mental strain
while in the trenches the Y. M. C. A
provides motion picture shows, social
meetings, boxing bouts, concerts, good]
vaudeville, lectures and clean enter
tainments that strengthen the fighter
for the strenuous warfare in the
trenches.
Y. M. C. A. in the Trench
The Red Triangle follows the boys
into the trenches. The secretaries
have been "over there’’ with the
French and British troops and know
- the game, and are prepared to make
trench life as easy as they can for the
men who go over the top. The Y. M.
C. A. dugout is as much a feature in
trench life as the listening-post or the
underground kitchen. The Y. M. C. A
dugout is the club house of the
trenches. The night before an attack
the men go to this dugout and once
more write home. When a regiment
moves through a danger zone the Y.
M. C. A. goes along, even ahead of the
men. The comforts are there by the
time the men arrive The percentage
of the killed and wounded among the
front-line secretaries of the Y. M. <’.
A. is said bo be the same as that of the
fighting men.
In Prison Camps
Untold suffering has been saved in
prison camps by the Y. M. C. A. The
American branch took charge of man>
j prisoners’ camps, both in the central
empires and among the allies, while
we were still neutral. Since war has
been declared Germany has permitted
the Y. M. C. A. to continue ite activi
ties In Germany in order that help|
would not be withdrawn from German
prisoners in France and Russia. A
number of secretaries are still in Ber
lin directing the work among the pris
oners. Our American Y. M. C. A. sec
retaries will look after all the Ameri
can boys taken prisoners, and it will
be a source of great relief to the
parents to know their boys have a
friend who is free to move about and
aid them as far as possible. Thus
the Y. M. C. A. is occupying a human
itarian position absolutely unique in
all the world’s history.
Growth of Y. C. A.
It has 500 buildings for war purposes
in this country and 200 buildings in
France. Two thousand secretaries are
active in this country and 3,000 over
the seas. France wants 500, Russia
200 and Italy 200 this year.
