“Where Your'Dollars Have More Cents"

(Creator of Frank Merriwcll)

sent overseas. There were some
mistakes made in the work on
this side, yes, but the good that
was done was so evident and
over-powering that the vicious or-
are going to do sooner, or later.
There are some friends who ob
ject to having their names print
ed as having made a volunteer
pledge. As the Board safe guarded - _
the publishing of the names of j ganized propaganda could not sue-
those making subscribtion by nut cecd in their attack on the ‘Y’s
'work on this side—for the home
people could see witn their own
eyes. Then, why this criticism of
the work in Franco? Tho same
men and women who worked in
America in the ‘Y’ uniform were
sent overseas with the hoys. The
*Y’ only had about 1,000 of their
older men available for service in
the war work, as the younger and
military service. There were ovei
twenty-five thousand ‘Y’ men and
women serving the soldiers dur
ing the World W .r, and around
twelve thousand of these v/ent
oversas. These men and women
came from all walks of life in
America. They were volunteers.
Out of such a vast nummber Of
noble and unselfish men and wo
men who left home, position, and
comfort, the men either over-age,
or physically unfit for military
service, untrained and having to
render a service under battle con
ditions three thousands miles from
their base—is it any wonder that
some mistakes were made, or that
some misfits were sent, or even
that some got in for the spirit of
adventure, and then under the
ettess and strain went bad. Yes,
there were mistakes, and misfits,
but the Army had that experience
too, in the ranks, as well as
among the officers. But would
anv one dare criticise and judge
our army by the standards of
those who failed, or bungled
things? No, Indeedi It would be
false, unfair, and not stood for
among our citizens.
When it Is rememberer that the
official records on file in the war
department at Washington, D. C.
report that of all the social and
welfare service rendered our sol
diors overseas that the Army Y.
M. C. A. rendered 90 per cent of
that eervice, or that out of every
ten eolldors served by tho welfare
agencies, that nine of these men
wr® served b T the Army of Y. M.
C. 'A., or that every' time- ten
pieces of social and welfare work
was done that nine of these pieces
were done by the Army Y. M. C.
A., then, one wonders whore oil
this criticism? Admitting our
share of mistakes and misfits,
and unfortnniaty incidents that
were bound to -happen when every
ones nerves were over-taxed, and
on edge, the truth of the matter
is that there was an organized
propaganda of calumny and miz-
representation carried on by
friendly interests to the Young
Men’s Chriatain Association, so
as to discredit and destroy tho
influence and power that bad
come to them. That organized
propaganda took up the unfortu
nate incidents—twisted them and
spread them, all over the army
and this country. For instance, the
exploiting of the sale of the New
York Son’s gift tobacco in one of
the Army Y. M. C. A. Dug outs
behind the trenches to b group
of men just relieved . from the
front. It was done, but whoa* mis
take was it? The Quartermaster’*
Department of the Army inves
tigated the incident and issued an
order explaining how it happened,
and assumed reepon-'Mlity for
the mistake. Their investigation
showed the facte to be S3 follows:
That a shipment of gift tobacco
had gotten in tho regular quar
termaster’s shipment of supplies
that they had received for eale
to the soldiers. There were no
marks on the packages of cigar
ettes to indicate that they were
part of the New York Bun’s gift
shipment. Tho Y. M. C. A. Secre
tary in charge of this dug-out
canteen was out of cigarettes. lie
was notified that shortly soldiers
from the trenches would be there
on their wav out. He goes to the
quartermaster’s department, and
purchases a supply of sweets and
smokes, so as to have them on
"d lor sals to the soldiers as
they ctmo out. They wars sold,
and then the boy* opened up their
individual pock of cigarettes then
was a card stating that this was
a gift smoke from the N- Y.
Sun’* tobacco fund. Of course,
there wa* "yelp!” Some of the
soldiers made their way back and
were refunded their money. Oth
ers talked it. It spread over the
Army; it wa* brought to this
country with the return of the
first ship load of wounded. Gen

Replies To Criticism
The writer desires to reply to
one criticism that was given as
the reason why a subscription was
not mad*. Tin* was the criticism
of the Armr Y. M* C. A. Work
overseas during the World War.
lrt—Th# jMty*ns Y. M . C. A.
during the WWW War was the
heert and the center of every war
activity. The marvelous capaigns
were onrqpized and directed .by
the Vi M. £• A. force in AT
building movements of the Y. M-
C; A* to current expends has
increased. The year 1916 shov/ed
a total of over $54,000,000 given
for the current expenses, which is
over three as much given ten
years ago.

The service of the Aimy Y. M-
C. A. at home in the United States
and overseas was tho most chal
lenging and ull-em bracing and
lar-rcuching social physical, and
religious service ever rendered to
a bod/ oU fighting men in the his
tory of wars.
It ii time for the fathers and
mothers of American sons, who
served the stars and stripes, to
stand friendly, outstretched hands
and with h love noU in their
hearts, to suph an organization as
could conceive of and execute
such daring, romantic, utilitarian
rervico to lour million men thous
and! of miks apart, under all the
handicaps of distance, crowded
transports, and actual battld con
ditions. No one elso undertook so
much, nor served so widely, oi
well. i ‘
It is also time that the citizen
today who was the dough boy of
1917 and 1918 should see that the
truth is known, and told, and
that he in no uncertain way let it
be known what was done. Why,
