IHOME-COMING OF

“Yep, Broadway for mine!”
Veterans of the “big show” over
there and. incidentally, veteran and
somewhat blase first nighters of
theatrical performances given with
in hearing of the crash of battle,
^ a fisherman from Maine and a Kan
sas farmer, respectively sergeant
and corporal in the United States
. army, were “talking it over” as a
midnight train bore them from an
evening's amusement in New York
to a nearby debarkation camp.
I With several score of their com
rades, guests of the War Camp
Community Service, which had pro
vided orchestra tickets for a star
attraction of the metropolitan dra
matic season, they had enjoyed one
‘ of the numerous features of the
i welcome to homecoming troops con
! ducted by this organization. Backed
j by a fund of $900,000 appropriated
for its work in the immediate fu
ture in this vicinity, the War Camp
has arranged an attractive program
| of entertainment covering the
| months of debarkation and intended,
I while giving evidence of the coun
; try’s appreciation of its soldiers'
j sacrifices, to combat the most insid
j ious enemy of army morale—lone
liness.
During a year or more of con
! stant changes of scene—from can
tonment to transport, to training;
' ramp abroad, to the “hardening”
• trenches, to battle, to rest billets
; and back into the fight again—
| the American soldier, the War Camp
directors say, has developed in an
extreme degree the “Where do we
go from here?” habit. Returned
to home soil in the process of de
mobiliziation, it is inevitable, they
' declare that he will chafe over the
I
; detention at i debarkation camp.
To meet this situation the oiganiza
:tion provides theater parties, auto
* mobile rides, meals and sleeper ac
■ comyiodations for men on leave in
New York, while foe the bed ridden
| wounded in the debarkation hospi
tals almost daily entertainments are
1 given by players from the leading
' Broadway productions, appearing
■ on professionally equipped stages in
■ the wards.
The New York War Camp makes
itself felt as a “cheer up” agency
1 for homeward bound troops as soon
as their transports enter the harbor.
Its activities continue until the re
turning units start for the de
mobilization cantonments, when
other branches of this countrywide
organization, which is to take up
the task which leads eventually to
the soldiers’ hearthsides.
Some of the earlier contingents,
'greeted as they came up the bay by
the Citizens’ committee aboard a
police boat and by choruses of
sirens and whistles, were, skeptical
regarding the material side of their
j welcome.
f “They give us an official ‘how
i dyc-do’—but what does that get
> us?” was the comment of a “dough
' boy” and his comrades nodded
assent.

was placarded with anouncements
of the “Community’s” weekly vau

! cantonment the men found War

| Camp workers waiting for them,
i circulating information concerning
the organization'£ numerous stations
in New York and arranging with
their officers for various types < f
free entertainment. As a result,
the soldiers’ typical “Let’s go”
■ found ready outlet.
! To “keep ’em smiling” the War
I Camp distributes every week among
I returned troops along with other
I soldiers, sailors and marines within
(the city’s gates, 10,000 tickets for
i the best metropolitan shows, many
I of them donated by theater owners;
j it stages in the port hospitals six
■ or seven entertainments a week,
with Broadway actors anil actresses
as volunteer performers; it conducts
jin the Manhattan Opera House
| every Sunday afternoon a continu
• ous vaudeville performance, to
j which Afherican and Allied uni
forms give admission; it provides
j every Sunday, and whenever pos
sible during the week, automobile
sightseeing tours for 300 to 300
wounded men; and it holds scores
j of “home again” parties, at which
j hundreds of girls from the Com
, rade Society make merry with the
, men and help to ease them back
| into civil life after their necessarily
restricted exstence under military
discipline.
j This is the lighter side of the
j War Camp work, which provides
l comforts as well as entertainment.
! With a hotel on West Tvventy

ganization maintains a feedin.it and

| At the hotel, which has 4,500 beds,
|a man in uniform may spend the
| night and have breakfast at a cost
j of 35 to 50 cents. Similar ar
j rangements prevail at canteens and
l smaller stations throughout the city.
In tlie aggregate the War Camp has
sleeping quarters for 10,000 men,
soon to be increased to 15,000 thru
a gift from the war department
j of 5.000 beds.

The War Camp Community Serv
ice is one of the "Rig Seven" or
ganizations pushing to promote the
welfare of the fighting men The
. work in Mew York, where $50,000
a week is expended, is most im
portant, because of the city’s stra
tegic location in relation both to
the homecoming troops and the
sailors who are manning their trans
ports, but at minor ports, as well
as at inland stations of all branches
of the army and navy, the program
is conducted on a scale in keeping
with the number of men assembled.
Letters from thousands of moth
ers, on file at headquarters attest
the character of the War Camp
service, which stands as assurance
to the families and friends of more
than four million men in the army
and navy, a majority of whom will
be discharged within the year, that
the time of waiting will be lightened
for them with activities that are
antidotes to homesickness and dis
content.
