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 happier 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?

AY.M.C.A. Divisional Secretary in Franco writes:

We are making the conditions far more comfortable for the men who would have had to spend many hours weary waiting out in the cold and wet had we not heen hore. Our room was picked to overflowing with men straight out of the treaches covered with mud, as only men in the trenches can he covered. By the tune they had reached here many of them, had tramped several miles and were quite exhausted. To find somewhere in which lot drinks and "food" could be procured in the middle of the night was a haven gladly welcomexi; it is surprising where men can aloop when exhausted such as we see them.?
