ABLE MEN ARE WANTED BY
Y. M. C. A. FOR RUSSIA

With the Government at Washington prepared to lend economic and
philanthropic support to Russia, the National War Work Council of the
Y. M. C. A. is actively recruiting to reinforce the Red Triangle workers
already manning huts over there. Agricultural experts, physical direc
tors and regular Y. M. C. A. secretaries as well as other men familiar with
welfare work in communities are being sought.
A further consideration of a definite policy toward Russia has served
virtually as a "go-ahead" order to the association. The Y. M. C. A., through
all uncertainties of the past few months, has kept 100 of its secretaries in
Russia. These men have'been kept busy day and night in an effort to
build up the morale of the citizens end soldiers of the unfortunate coun
try. The secretaries today are in all parts of Russia.
In the dark days of Russia the American secretaries "stood by" all
over that country to serve the people in every way possible. Thousands of
invalid prisoners were taken care of as they returned from Germany. Most
all the men were broken in health. They died, almost without exception,
with curses ugainst Germany. Hut greater even than their hatred was their
wonder that their countrymen could have made "peace" with such an
enemy.

"The Y. M. C. A. leaders In Russia,” said Dr. W. W. Alexander, direc
tor of the War Personnel Hoard of the Southeastern Department, National
War Work Council, "have never doubted the essential soundness of the
Russian people. Despite all difficulties and inevitable losses and discour
agements, the Y. M. C. A. has remained in Russia, seeking to serve and
watching for a better day. The day is now evidently coming.”
Fifteen new secretaries, with ability to contribute some constructive
element to the Russian life of the future are being searched for throughout
the Southeastern Department. Some agriculturists are wanted, some
business men, but the call comes stronger for men skilled In rural Y. M.
C. A. and Community work. All ars to go with the purpose of helping
Russia help herself.

HARD TO SEND
LETTERS TO SPIES
Red Cross Starts System Of
Supervision And Re-Writ
ing Of Dangerous Mail
Reaching America.
New York, July 23.—The American
Red Cross has established a system
by which it is declared letters sent
from this country to persons in Ger
many are made absolutely spy proof.
Persons writing to addresses in tjie
tenemy countries are required to write
them under the eyes of watchers and
at (he slightest sign of dallying ovtr
words, the letters are destroyed.
When there is nothing suspicion s
regarding the writing of the letters
they are sent to the national head
quarters, where they are re-wriiton
and the wording changed to prevent
the sending of any diagram in code.
The messages are then given to the
cons rship hoard and passed or re
jected. If they are passed they are
translated on different paper upon
reaching a neutral country, and in this
process the wording is agu'n altered
in a manner calculated to he entirely
spy proof.
Since America entered the war it
has been found necessary to curtail
the practice of permitting welfare
messages and Inquiries between civ
ilians in countries which are at war
with one another. The promiscuous
sending of letters through organism-
tlcns in neutral countries could not be
permitted because of the large num
ber of enemies In this country. Buti
to prohibit entirely the sending of
messages might, for example, prevent
a loyal American from finding out
whether his sister, unfortunately mar
ried to a German, was alive or dead,
i-ioiiibitlon was in force for a time
and pitiful appeals were received by
the Red Cross from French, Belgians
and Italians begging the society to
get word for them as to whether rela
tives in the occupied districts wero
still alive.
The state department presented to
the Red Cross the new scheme in de
tail and asked that organization to
put It into effect. As it was a purely
I hirunnitarian scheme, the government
could do no more than supervise the
wdrlc.
Today the Red Cross is sending an
average of thirteen hundred letters a
\Jay to persons living behind the en
emy lines. This work is done through
Washington headquarters of th«
'merle-n Red Cross by the buren ■ of
communication of which Edward M
Day is acting director.

London, July 23.—The greater coun
ter attack in which the French and
American troops are'participating be
tween the Aisne and tha Marne has
succeeded extremely well according
to the latest advices received here and
the situation for many reasons is con
sidered extremely promising.
Owing to the fact that there was no
artillery preparation the action was a
complete surprise to the Boche and
the enemy artillery reaction was very
weak, on the other hand, the French
counter battery work was exceedingly
effective.
Enemy aviators entered into the ac
tion and attempted to impede the ad
vance using their machine guns at low
altitude.
Wonderful Achievement.
Notwithstanding this, the counter
attack was "noteworthy for the reason
that the French offensive accomplish
ed a great deal more than was achiev
ed by the eGrman drive on both sides
of Hhiarns. The elngth of the front
over which an advance was made was
practically the same and the French
and Americans werking together ad
vanced in six hours virtually double
the distance covered by the Germans
in three days.
So far as Is known at present the
junction line between Soissons and
O lchy-Lt-Chateau and also the junc
tion line between Soissons and Fisan s
are under direct observation and fire
from the new French position^ in the
Crise ravine. These two lines are the
only lines by which the Germans in
this salient between Soissons and
Rheims can he supplieds.
It is possible, however, that the Ger
mans may have succeeded in connect
ing up their lines in another way.
It is possible, however, that the Gor
mans may have succeeded in connect
ing up their lines in another way.
Offensive Over; Rheims Safe.
The French counter is regarded here
as one ot the most brilliant pieces of
work in the war, and it is believed
that the results will prove extremely
valuable as the French have obtain'
ed most impotant strategic positions.
In London the view is held that the
advance has put an end to the Ger
man offenstce for the present and that
Rheims can be considered compara
tively safe. The French have reachedl
all their first objectives.
South of the Marne much localfight
ing is reported. The French have lost
some ground, but are still within ef-
.eiAive range of the German bridges,
across the river, though It Is possible
they may have lost direct observation.
Further to the east the allies have
gained ground in a good many sectors
especially in the sector west of Mussi-
ges.
"Pass the word on, and pass tt!
quickly, that 5U0 of the most capable, j
eiirnest and big souled Christian busi- |
ness men ure needed immediately out !
of the Southeastern Department for !
overseas work with the Red Triangle '
Forces.” according to Dr. W. IV. Alex
ander, director of the War Personnel
Bureau, Army and Navy Y. M. C. A.,
for the Southeastern Department. Tho
quota of 500 for the department for the
past month was exceeded by 128 en
listments.
The call now comes for executives,
of much business experience and spe
cialists in all lines. No man in Amer
ica is too big for the smallest Y. M.
C. A. job "Over There.” Today the
leading men of the nation are volun
teering for the work; Bank presi
dents, college presidents, office hold
ers, political leaders, religious leaders
end hundreds of corporation heads
are giving all time to the work with
America’s Sons in France.
State recruiting committees are op
erating in the seven Southeastern
states. Information ns to the oppor
tunities and the work can be secured
through the state recruiting secreta
ries, as follows:
