specified in Circular 85, W. D., 1918,
as amended, it being necesary obtain

SALVATION ARMY HAS
FIRST “HUT" IN PARIS
PARIS, April 10 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—To give
the American soldiers a center where
they can both lodge and spend their
time profitably throughout the day,
the Salvation Army has just opened
its first “hut” in Paris proper. It
is situated on the Rue Clignancourt,
and was formerly the bararcks of the
76th French Infantry regiment. The
“hut" accommodates 3,000 men.
Several welfare organizations which
operate among the American soldiers,
including the Young Men’s Christian
Association, Salvation Army, Jewish
Welfare League, Knights of Columbus
and the American Library Associa
tion have combined to offer the boys
here both instruction and entertain
ment. Doughnuts, pies, flapjacks and
cookies “as mother maRes them,” are
provided for all comers. Athletic meet
ings alternate with singing and lec
tures, and there is much interest in a
course of fencing bouts, which has
just started.
Similar institutions are being op
ened at the big seaports such as
Brest, Bordeaux and St. Nazaire,
where the American authorities have
placed 25 hanars at the disposal of
the Salvation Army.
To minister to the comforts of
lonely American units in the devas
tated districts of Belgium and'north
ern France, where the accommdoation
is one of the most primitve descrip
tion and where social centers are few
and far between, Colonel William A.
McIntyre of New York, has organized
a system of traveling kitchens where
the men will be able to obtain well
cooked food and eat it in comfort, in
stead of in a haphazard fashion on
the doorstep of some half-demolished
house, as is now the rule rather than
the exception.
