FROM OVERSEAS THE Y. M. C. A,
CALLS FOR 3,000 VOLUNTEER
WORTHS TO HELP WIN WAR
With tho Colo rsw
(Left) “Brothers In Arms”—an enlisted man’s conception of the service
rendered by the Army Y, M. C. A. secretary. (Upper right), Camouflaging
a Red Triangle hut In France. (Lower right), Ariny ‘ Y” dugout under
■hell Are.
"The leadership of a Y. M. C. A. hut
in France has bigger possibilities of
national service than most of the bank
and college presidencies and big city
pulpits in America."
It was with the above cabled state
ment that E. C. Carter, director of the
overseas work of the American Y. M.
C. A. in France, emphasized the seri
ousness of his appeal for men sent out
from Paris headquarters. With all wel
fare, entertainment and physical work
end the conducting of the post ex
change stores among our soldiers In
France, England and Italy In charge
of the American Y. M. C. A. at Oen-.
oral Pershing’s request and the French,
Italian and Portuguese governments
appealing for trained American Y. M.
C. A. workers to perform a similar
service for their soldiers, It Is obvious
that an enormous number of Red Tri
angle men are needed “Over There”
—3,000 new recruits within the next
ytv days, or more T. M. C. A. sec
retaries than have been sent across
during the previous twelve months.
“It Is imperative. that we meet our
obligations to the American and Al
lied armies,” continued Director Car
ter in his recent cablegram relayed
to Southeastern War Work council
headquarters of the Young Men’s
Christian Association at Atlanta, Ga.
"There are ninety-six Important posts
here without sufficient workers. For
ty-seven of them are near the front
*md thirty-eight positions are under
■hell-flre."
Pratt Offers $100,000.00
Herbert Pratt, vice president of the
Standard Oil Company, now in France
as an American Y. M. C. A. worker,
recently cabled to New York City na
tional headquarters urging that hun
dreds of men be sent at once.
“Carter and staff are doing remark
ably fine work.” read Mr. Pratt's ca
blegram, "but often are too tired be
cause of lack of assistants.” Mr.
Tratt has offered a personal gift of
$100,000.00 to defray the expense of
Bending more secretaries overseas.
To fill this crying need, special ef
forts are being made by the National
War Work Council at home to enlist
secretaries for service under the Red
Triangle "Over There.” Every sec
tion of the country has been especial
ly organized within the past few weeks
for this purpose. Governor Whitman
of New York. Governor Rye of Ten
nessee, Harry Lauiler and Gipsy
Smith, famous British evangelist, are
typical of the type of men heading the
campaign committees and speaking at
mass meetings to enlist Army and
Navy Y. M. C. A. secretaries.
500 Men Southeast’s Quota
Within the next ninety days, from
the ,?even states of the Southeastern
Department—Georgia. North Carolina,
Bnuth Carolina, Florida, Alabhma. Mis
sissippi and Tennessee—approximate
ly 500 secretaries jni(st be recruited;
ROO jdr pervicq. overseas and 200 addle
tlonal to fill up the gaps In the Army
and Navy Y. M. C. A. forces in the
cantonments and training camps in
the southeast. Dr. W. W. Alexander,
director of the Southeastern Depart
ment, war personnel board, la Iff
charge of the campaign In this section
with headquarters at Atlanta, Ga. Re
cruiting committees have been ap
pointed in every stale.
One of the reasons why It Is so dif
ficult to obtain men who are satisfac
tory for service abroad is described
by A-.G- KncleL executive secretary
for the War Personnel Board of the
National Wsr Work Council, in a re
cent interview.
"Nothing Tame About *Y' Work,?
"Thousands of applicants rejected
Include many whe picked out the T.
M. C, A. as a nice soft branch of war
service. The thousands accepted are
those who are w Ring to face hard
ship and danger—-often under n rain
nf shrapnel and machine gan firs.
There Is nothing tame about the Red
Triangle work in this world oonfllct.
I( is no. task for a man faint hearted
or of low physical vitality."
Not every secretary who goes over
seas Is sent« the front line trenches
—but he may be. The Army and
Navy Y. M. C. A. follows the flag and
the fighting men of the Allies every
where but over the top. The man
who goes up to the trenches pitches
a tent, erects a sheet Iron hut or finds
a deserted building, cellar or dugout
In which to begin work.
Will Beat His Sons to Franoe.
Most admirable are the ambitions
of many fathers of soldiers and sailors
to enlist for Red Triangle service, and
thus, perhaps, meet their sons in
France or on the high seas. The Per
sonnel Board has the record of a man
who recently sailed for France, who
has one son an officer and another an
enlisted man. He is very proud of the
fact that he will be “Over There" be
fore,-his pons.
Recruits for American Army and
Navy Y. M. C. A. service overseas
need be “only ordinary men and good
Christians," as described by Dr. Alex
ander of th* Southeastern Department
Personnel committee. Men of almost
any profession or vocation are accept
able,, but they must be over the draft
■age-*—thirty-one years—or have been
I ejected as physically unfit because of
a noticeable defect, such as a deform
ity, loss of eye or limb, which at a
glance will classify the secretary.
Absolute loyalty to the govern
ment and sympathy with the cause of
the Allies In our fight to the end for
a world safp for democracy, must in
spire the Red Triangle worker. A
man whose father or mother was born
in any of the countries with which we
are-now at war cannot serve overseas.
A secretary cannot he accompanied by
his wife, no more than can an officer.
Recognized by Military.'
Rearing the regulation United
States army or navy uniform distin
guished by .the Red Triangle lnsisnia
on the left coat sleeve overseas, but
on this side uniformed in olive preen
of a cut not unlike the British uniform,
the Y. M- C. A. secretary has'been
recognized as n part of the‘military and
naval establishment vitally necessary
to the winning cf the war. An Amer
ican officer' recently home from the
French front said: "Three forces will
win this war on land, the army,
the Red Cross nnd the Y. M. C. A.”

“Clean Up” Week For Red
Triangle Collections In May
Atlanta, Ga, April. — "Clean Up”
week has been designated from May
1st to 8th. This doos not mean the
furbishing up of municipalities or the
date set for burning rubbish In back
yards. It is the date set by the second
Y. M. C. A. war work campaign fund
organization in the Southeastern mili
tary department for boosting colleo-
tlons on the last campaign.
In a report by R. H. King, director
of finance in the Southeast. Issued on
April 16th. it was shown that 73 per
•'em of the collections had been made.
It is his aim to make that percentage
climb to 86 per cent by the end of
"Clean Up” week and local oommltteea
will act accordingly.
Two states have already exceeded
the 8< per cent mark; Mississippi and
Florida. Georgia comes next with 711$
per cent, the other* are as follows:
Alabama,. 70; South Carolina, 66;
North Carolina, 68; Tennessee, $0.
"The mobilisation of dollars In di
rect gifts to be applied to national de
fense la n short-cut method of winning
the war," said A. H. Whitford, na
tional financial campaign director,
when told of the "Clean Up” week plea
of pushing collections of subscriptions.
HELP IN 50-50
WHEATPROGRAM
Thousands of Retail Grocers Sup*
port Food Administration
Rules.
SIGN PLEDGE VOLUNTARILY.
New Wheat Saving Program Demand
ed — Allied Food Shortage In*
crease*—America Must
Feed Fighter*
Explaining the United States Food
Administration’s new 50-30 wheat reg
ulations Is a war time task the Ameri
can grocer has gladly shouldered.
Many stores are already displaying
their Food Administration wheat sav
ing pledge cards, that they have sign
ed, agreeing to carry out the new
wheat program.
Each flour customer Is now requir
ed to buy one pound of cereal substi
tute for every pound of wheat flour
The substitute may be of one kind or
assorted. This 50-50 sale Is made by
weight and not by value of the com
modifies. There Is, of course, no reg
ulatlon demanding the consumer to
buy wheat flour at all.
A wide variety of substitutes has
been provided: Comment, corn flour,
edible cornstarch, hominy, com grits,
barley flour, potato flour, sweet potato
flour, soya, bean flour, Feterlta flour
and meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal,
rolled outs and buckwheat flour.
Graham and whole wheat flour con
stitute an exception to the national
regulation. Either of these commodi
ties may be sold at the ratio of three
pounds to five pounds of wheat flour—
that Is, five pounds of graham or
wheat flour counts the same as three
pounds of the usual wheat flour.
.Mixed flours form another excep
tion. Where any flour contnlns 50
per cent or less of whent It mny he
■old without any substitutes. Where
the flour Is mixed at the rate of 00
per cent, wheat and 60 per cent, of
other Ingredients an additional VO per
cent of substitutes must be purchased
by the consumer.
Where necessity Is shown specially
prepared Infant's and Invalid's food
containing flour may be sold.
That the approved substitutes may
be assorted Is a fact many grocers,
and housewives overlooked for a time.
For Instance. If p customer wishes to
buy a 24 pound sack of flour the nec
essary substitute's, might be assorted
as follows: Comment, 8 pounds; corn
grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buck
wheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch, i pound;
hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats. $
pounds.
None of the substitutes should be
considered as a waste purchase.
There are many household usee -for
qsch. The fight pounds of comment
can be made Into combrend, corn muf
fins or used In the baking of wheat
breed. ...
Cornstarch Is useful In making cus
tard. thickening gravy or may be used
In cake baking. Corn grits fried like
mush forms a delicious dish, or it utay
be used In baking com bread. Rolled
oats are used largely as breakfast por
ridge or In oatmeal cookies or In
making muffins.
Buckwheat flour may be used In
bread making, .forming an excellent
substitute for one-quarter of the
wheat flour, but Is especially choice In
the form of buckwheut rakes for
bcenkfusL
With 11 wheatless meals needed
each week In Americn to provide
enough whent for the nllles, the Food
Administration believes the substitutes
will all be used to advantage.

USE LESS WHEAT,
The allied nations have made
further Increased demands on
us for breudstuffs — demands
that Americans are obligated to
meet
In the menntlme America’s
meat supply hns been greatly
Increased for some months to ,
come by the unprecedented
■hipping to market of hogs that
averaged 232 pounds each In
stead of 203 pounds—the nor
mal.
The United States Food Ad
ministration, endeavoring to ad
just the Internationa! food bal
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions In this country on
the use of meat and at the same
time usked for a smaller con
sumption of breadstuffs.
We are asked to observe only
one meatless day each week—
Tuesday. We will have larger
meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to a minimum.
In altering Its food conserva
tion program the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that the
food situation Is of necessity,
subject to radical changes,
caused by crop conditions at
home and abroad and by the
precarious transportation prob
lem, . both in overseas shipping
and In .Africa's overburdened
transportation system. -♦
