I'm Through," and "There's Some More Lonesome than One secretary is kept busy nearly all day writing out money orders, and through the Y. M. A. many thou- sands of letters are thus saved to the men. which otherwise might have been lost in the crap game or worse.

Dur ing one week the 1. M. C. A. at Camp Mills wrote out money orders' for more than $20,000.

Stamps, letters, soap, books, match es, all the thousand and one little things which help to make life tolerable pass over the counter even' minute of the da'y. A big burly soldier comes up to the conuter and wants a tea dollar bill changed. "What do you want it changed for," asks the se- cretary iu charge, counting out the money. "Ah just wants to pay some bills." says the man blushing like a school girl. "What do you want to know for?" "Oh, I just thought you might like it in very small change," replied the secretary, putting the mouey into his haud.

The man turns away; then conies sheepishly back to the counter, saying "Ah reckon you'd better give me back that teu; they say the money a man ins at crap never does hiin no good, So it goes all day long, and through it all is an atmosphere of friendliness that is life to the unseasoned soldier. Xot the old time glad handism, but a sincere interest and friendly feeling on the part of the workers toward the men, which makes them feel that they have some one to whom they can talk of their own lives, their loneliness, their families and sweethearts back iu the Lookout Mountains, and which iu some cases euables them to find in the Y. M. C. A.

a friend, where they have never known one before. Thus the golden door is opened to the hearts of the men, and as the secretaries get close to their soldiers, vice and immorality, with its thousand kindred miseries, diminish, and the old ideals are not forgotten in the glare of the furnace in which their hearts are being tried. All day an auto runs back and forth from the adjoining town, taking laun-drv, buying sweets, and doing couut-less other errands that the men in detention camp cannot get away to do themselves, while scarcely has twilight settled into night before moving pic ture shows, sing songs, vaudeville entertainments of every description, wrestling and boxing matches, and religious meetings have been organized throughout camp. Old actors, now in the service, educators, ministers, as well as Charlie Chaplain, and other movie favorities all help pass the ime away. And not a moment is leit em pty, which may allow that bitter loneliness and longing for a friendly word, to creep in, which often goads a man to do things and to mix with people for whom under normal conditions be can have nothing but contempt.

And do these quiet workers in grey gst the appreciation of the soldiers? Most assuredly they do. Allow one instance in passing. When the Aviation school was first established at Mineola, a group of men came in from somewhere in the south, after nightfall. Xo Y. M.

C. A. was ready for them. But a teat was hurriedly procured and although the hoar was top Beginning Oct. 15th.

Across the water, where life is raw, where restraint is off, and the soldier hardened by the universal brutality and loneliness, are temptations and falls worse than the death, in the trenches.

They are a strange collection of men, clerks from Birmingham and Mobile, soft tongued.

swarthy mountaineers, from their huts in the Lookout range; free-limbed, big hearted, with the ancient creed of the mountains "when in doubt, and a scattering of business men, and sons of old Alabama families. For most regiments this time of waiting is full of life and adventure, tite seeing of new things and faces, ierformingof new duties, and the learning of new customs, and life seems too for the loneliness that gnaws and breaks a man's heart. But the Alabama bovs have been hit square and ships. Coming to a muddy field in a strange flat country, during a sickly, misty drizzle, measles broke out in their ranks the very next day, and for nearly three weeks not a man left, the aching emptiness of that barren field. Men pulled from what seemed the ends of the earth, and thrown indiscriminately together were confined in a little two acre lot.

and there left.to their own devices. The at rain of the long grind of deadly monotony, and tlte restraint, to hich the easy going mountaineers were entirely unaccustomed, bid fair to break both their nerve and their morale, and would indeed have broken them if it had not been for one saving factor. In.thc middle of their encampment stands a while, three-peaked, circus tent with a red triangle over the door. and in front a sign bearing the letters M. C.

the tent is open from nine o'clock until taps; and within the tent are five men working night and day to make life tolerable for these homesick strangers from a far country. From early in the morning till late at night tliey are always on the job. and nothing is too big or too small for them to do, if it adds to the comfort of the eultsted men. Let me tell you of just one day spent in the tenuKf the Alabama regiment, one out or hundreds of buildings or tents throughout -the country, located wherever a body of men are gathered together in the uame of Liberty: not to mention the hut, (many of them long ago wrecked by German shells.) which dot the blood-scarred trenches of northern France, and nestle in the muddy street of London, offering aid and shelter to rieh and poor, Roman Catholic, Jew and Protestant, wherever help is needed. Early in the morning, long before opening time, grimy hands stretch across the counter, and a soft southern voice beg.

"Could yah give me some paper now, mister? Ah reckon Ah'll write home The paper is immediately forthcoming, for no one is ever refused anything at a Y. M. C. A. tent, but the soldier doesn't go.
