Does Noble Hurry to Cantonments, Been Away From All over the country Sammy 1s en route for Somewhere, as he has been for weeks. But just now "Somewhere." that flexible war-time word, chiefly means the sixteen national cantonments of the United States. Toward these cantonments our somewhat bewildered Sammy of the new National Army, still without uniform, without previous military training, withiut even a very definite idea of war except that he Is going to fight In It, is speeding. Big-honed mountaineer of the South, who will wear his new uniform when he gets it about as comfortably as if it were a mustard plaster he is leaving the home he has never been ttn miles away from before in his life. Ex-member of the Gashouse Gang, raw recruit from Hell's Kitchen, or college Junior from the silk-stocking precincts he is pulling out of New York for Yaphank. A slim FTench youth in the northern states the patriotism of two lands la biasing up in his eyes, as he gets on the train near Fort Caribou. A dared young Servian, not yet six months in America he is learning his first English words in the chorus of "Kaiser Bill' on the station platform of a New England factory town. East and west, north and south, the trains ere tooting Sammy away from home. It isn't just one engine but hundreds of them that are grumbling their staccato warnings at him. as he lingers for. a last Joke with "the bunch." It Isn't just woman, but thousands of them, and of all ages, whose tear-stained faces twist bravely into smiles, as they wave good-bye. It isn't one Sammy, but a whole army of him. who is going away with bravado, promising gaily to come back and bring the Kaiser alonff. There has been a lot of talk about how the men in khaki pull out of the station, to the flutter of handkerchiefs, and the thrill of bands. Even without their uniforms, the drafted men of the now National Army have had their share of attention. It is quite a different matter when the train Is a few miles on its way after the excitement of departure has died, and they begin to realize that horns is behind them, and the war ahead. Nobody has described the sensations of Sammy en route. Nobody ever will, either. The fact is that nobody knows exactly how Sammy feels about going away to fight except Sammy, and he isn't telling. But for the past few weeks Railroad Y. M. C. A. secretaries have been traveling with the men of the new National Army to cantonments all over the United States. On more than 750 trains they have already been "following the soldiers on wheels," as one of them gratefully put it. to do what they can to cheer his trip. As nearly as one man can know the heart of another, they know this drafted Sammy's. They have seen him In that first tragic moment when he begins to realize that his face is turned away from home toward unknown danger. And they report that the average Sammy, no matter what class or what part of the country he comes from, is more afraid of those first few hours on the train than he is of the battlefield. The stories of these Y" men, the only ones who have traveled in this way with the soldiers to the cantonments, begin where all the others leave off. "Says Sammy to the Public" is all very well, but "Says Sammy to Himself is quite another matter. Sammy stripped of heroics and of bombast. Sammy homesick and human, is the one the trainmen see. Above- the rattle of wheels and the shriek of the engine, an Alabama train laden with soldiers shook with a. bellowlike that of a bull, that has nosed his way into a beehive.

Work for Our Boys as They Many Never Having Home Before. ble at all the 'Y' secretary followed the noise to Its source, n two-hundrea pound Sammy possessed of the contradictory attributes of a double chin all around, a sure-trigger hand, a hard head, a soft heart, and the self-control of a child of six. Ham-like lianda over his distorted face, he was blubbering at the top of his voice: "I want to go home! I want to go home!" i Down by the mass of shaken avoirdupois the 'Y' man sat, and soothed him gradually, till he learned that the man came from a mountain settlement where he had left a wife and three children. Never in his life had he been out of his own county before. War? Dang it, he wa'nt afraid of that! He'd be "darn glad to bust the Kaiser," in fact. Only he wanted to go ho me. Lots of other men in the car wanted to go home. too. it appeared from the murderous glances they cast at the fat mountaineer, who dared to "rub it in" like this. . So the 'Y' man sent them home for a few minutes by handing around post-cards, even stamps to the ones who hadn't any money, and urging them to write home. "Go to it, fellow,'' he said. "Snd your first messages to the home-folks. They'll be looking for a word from you, you know." You might have thought the. soldiers had been gone from home six months instead of a few hours. They didn't exactly ask "Have you still got the same old cat?" like the hoy in Riley's story, but they did indicate by the general1 tenor of their messages home that it seemed to them a long, long time since they had taken that morning train. They said, too, that they were well, and hoped the folks at home were the same, that they were having 'some ride' and meant to put up 'some f.ght' and sent lots of love. After that the secretary passed around checker-boards a great game, checkers! If you don't want all your kings jumped off the board, you must put your whole mind on your play, to the exclusion of j feeling homesick. What with the unexpected moves forced upon them by the train, and the comradeship of the game, the men began to feel better. The "Y man won their hearts by passing around hot coffee for them to drink with the lunch the government had provided. They began telling him how they felt about things. "War? Hell It ain't war I mind, it's goln away and leavin" the kids and my woman to look out for themselves!" said one. "If we could play the game on our home field, with our own bunch around to root for us, it wouldn't be half bad," summed up a young college fellow. On another train one of the men appeared to have been fighting his first battle already. He was holding one arm stiffly, a soiled and blood-stained handkerchief around the hand. "Did it leaning out of the window to wave to my girl," he explained. "AnOn Loans of $5 to $100 SINCE I iST MAY. No one need be without the money they want at our present low rates.

Map showing how airplane raids over Germany might be made from a sea base; hydroairplanes on a cruiser on special raised platforms frem which they aseetitd in starting on flights. The great distance separating England from the German naval bases make3 it difficult for air squadrons to make a successful attack on these German ports from the British mainland. It is therefore suggested that the attacks be conducted from a sea base. An escorting fleet of destroyers and light fighting craft could protect tha airplane snips, aad the latter could take up a position in the North sea, say, fifty kilometers away from Helgoland. From such a station Wilhelmshaven would be only 100 kilometers away (a little more than sixty miles) and Kiel could be reached after a relatively short flight of 125 miles. other train came along and b.t me." ' It was really rather badly bruised, and the 'Y' man helped him wash it. and bind it up in a clean covering. Word went through the car that "That Y. M. C. A. chap is as good as a doct or." and two other men with ailments sent for him. "Got anything for the toothache?" another Sammy wanted to know. "It's that darn candy the girls threw after us the last station back." Lonesomencss doesn't always break out the sartw way; it has as many symptoms as measles. Early evening on one train fround three bruised heads, several smashed windows, several dents in faces, made by tin cups, and various minor injuries. The train had been stopped twice beccuse, some Sammy with a small boy heart had pulled the emergency cord, and once had been broken in two when someone attacked the coupling lever. The secretary passed around song books at last. "Fine!" said a recruit. "We gotta do something.'' So they sang all their bravado and animal spirits away, as it grew dusk in the car, and It was a hucky chorus that finally took up the words of "Old Folks at Home." "Got any Testaments?" asked one of the men at last. The Secretary had. They were for the men who wanted, them particularly who did? Every man on the car except one Russian Jew pressed forward to ask for one of the little books; the Russian Jew explained with great politeness his reason for not wanting one, and then began to talk of Russia. "Can she come back?" he said. "Sure

The secretary tried to comfort him. "Your mother would want you to keep up your courage and fight the best you can." he suggested. "I know she would." sa:d the boy. "She was sick and dependent on me. but she wouldn't let me claim exemption. That's the kind of mother she was. Wanted me to be a good soldier Well, I'm going to be." After the men receive thei- uniforms, they send home their civilian clothes; wardrobe room in an unknown quantity at a cantonment. Some of the men said that they hadn't any home to send things to. But the secretaries announced that these men could send their clothing to the Y. M. C. A. of their home town, which would receipt the Express Company for it. then send the receipt on to the soldier. If a soldier hadn't the money to pay the express, he could even .find his things collect, and the 'Y' would take care of it. "Who said we hadn't any home?" demanded one of the Sammies. "WTe've got the 'Y.'" Near Anniston, Alabama, one of the trains broke down, and 50 soldiers rushed over to the nearest Y. I. C. A., calling loudly for ham and eggs. It was a rush order, but it was filled. "What would we do without the T?' " '.hey skd with their mouths full, as they rushed back to the train. Several' of the men on one train in 'X 111 l jV

i fe tw " the South got cn with as many as four quarts of whiskey. The men saJtt that some of the towns there had been giving the enlisted men free of charge all the liquor they asked for, the bill being paid by the business men of the taown. At first the secretary couldu't be of much help to the men who were really drunk. But after a time, when he had gone through the car with envelopes and paper "to write the folks at home," he observed men quietly pouring their whiskey out of the window. "I don't want the stuff," one said. "Never lid want it. It's just thie going away that's got me. But the folks back home . expect me to be decent, and I'm going to be." The recretary told him and the oth men about the 'Y' huts in every cantonment, and at every army and navy encampment In the United States those buildings that help the men "be decent," that bring home to them as nearly as possible, that encourage the men and entertain them, and keep their fighting spirit up. "I'll be there." said a Sammy. "If we get all this for nothing just on a train, I'm game to see the inside of those huts." "Three cheers for the Y. K. C. A.!" called another voice. And every car of the long train shook w ith those Sammycheers. It was the kind of thing to make every mother and wife and sister grateful for an organization that goes with their men where the folks at home can't go, and does for them as nearly as it can Just what the folks at home would like to dp. 3 I -I .JLV
