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.
