Y.M.C.A.
This Line is the
Bulwark of England
IT is protecting your home. What will
you do for the men in the trenches who, at the peril of their lives, are fighting your battles? Already some scores of Y.M.C.A buildings are making life happies for our men.
But thousands of others of our brave troops are "doing without" Shall they continue to
do without" while you can help?
Will you give a new building to-day,
or maintain one for a short period ?
A YM.CA. Divisional Secretary in I'mance writes: ** We are making the conditions far more comfortable for the men who would have had to spend many hours wery waiting out in the cold and wet had we not. been here. Our room was packed to overflowing with men straight out of the trenchies covered with nud, as only men in the trenches can be covered. By the time they had reached here many of them hud tramped several miles and were quite exhausted. - To find somewhere in which hot drinks and food could be procured in the middle of the night was a hoven gladly welcomed; it is surprising where ten can sleep when excluusted such as we see them.

It had been decided to employ smoke and gas, and it was therefore necessary to fix the hour for the attack at a time when meteorological conditions would be favourable. The French were not using gas and, wishing to carry out the final stages of their bombardment at a time when the light would be favourable to observation, settled on 12.25 p.m. ns the hour for their attack.
