WHEN WILL WaR CAMP CoM. MUNITY SERVICE END? Margaret Widdemer, in a. recent contribution to the New York Times, refers to an article in a daily advice column for women in which the wr #1 resumes, now that the war is there nothing more to do. mpect to the War Camp Community Service this writer asks, "What shall we do. now that there are no more wong leaders, no more rallies, no more young | fellows | in uniform," . Miss Widdomer proceeds to answer | this question, in part as follows: "The United States is not going to drop back into its pre-war condition of isolation, It doesn‘t want to, and it shouldn‘t, And this is why one of the war camp agencies in particular, the Community Service has to go on with its work, widened and deepened, not only for the eighteen months that mre now judged requisite for the readjustment of the soldier, but as long after that as the community requires or desires leadership in friendship. "The history of — Community . Service is a shorter one than that of most of the war agencies, but it promises to be one of the most all-embracin and efficieat aids to civilization thru‘) the years to come. bad as the | Recreation | Association . of America-we did not think much of recreation as a necessity in those days. -it built up playgrounds and recrea tion centers wherever it could, mostly for the poor. . The rest of us meanwhile stayed each in his own lonely little house or fat, and wished that there could be some way for un to be Cdoe t ures. But nobody saw a way. That is, not until the war binzed it. Then the Government asked the Recreation Association to take charge of- well, what it was really asked to take charge of was all the odds and ends outside the camps that didn‘t come under anybody else‘s jurlsdiction, | And it did-- royally. In fact it ceased to be a small organization, and at present it embraces most of the population. . And where it doesn‘t it should. — We are, ourselves, the com» munity, and, shown how by community leaders whose function has been very much that of the host at a party, we have learned in the war | to make friends not only with the soldiers, but with each other, As one soldier said, "It gave me my first chance at being friendly with folks." It did more than that. It gave the communities their first chance to be friends with folks to. It kept the morale and morale, which are a different thing, of the soldiers high before they went over. It gave the camp cities some of them, their first glimpse of the fact that companionship and brotheriiness still existed in,this too individualized. too indifferent America of ours. . Neither soldier nor commfunty can afford to give these up. The Community Houses erected. throughout the country were not temporary structures. They are functioning still more needed than ever for the year and a half to come wi the soldiers are being demobilized; needed aftei that to keep the community and the soldier from dropping back into the old isolation, with all the ills in its train. The Community Sing is going on on cale than . before. — Song becoming a recognized proion, and the railroad stations are r utilized for meeting places bethe gathcrings of singers have overflowed the school houres and other they origanally met. cear more than 1,006 vnifer wor men have been entertained by the War Camp Community 8 in New York alone. Of e than 1,000,000 slept in provided by the Community . and all of the wore entertained and given meals ct far below Greater thin | lowe material comforts the fact t!‘ these men were kept in surrounding: where no Turm of any kind could cove to them po os ed by more than 10,000 solders ans sailors daring 1918. are going on and will for some time to come. The Serexpecially in the large . is being increas the officers‘ club in New York. ne tarted, includes. tri-weekly. dane tainments, thes dansant« in the afternoons, a bureau of employment and information, home hospitality service, club rooms and canteens and others are following it in the large cities, because the officers will be coming back rtcadily for a year and a half yet, like the men. And after the officers and men have molted again into the civil population s and community people have learned to pull together under organized leadership and find i good. Community Service has been called on by several departments of the Gov ernment to go into the industrial com

munities and organizefrieniship there. If we are to westher the storm of Bolshevism, Americanization must go on swiftly; and the forcigncbarn citi zens who populate the industisal com munities: mast be taught | to | minke friends with each other and with the educated . clisses, . Our — democracy, with its insistence on the right of the individua} to be let alone and do ns he pleases, worked very well in the early days when the | machinery . of: social life was simple, os it is in all. newly settled countri But in our| modern complexities, with our flood of uneducated forelgn-born population, come here mot so much for freedom of thought me for better chances of making a living, our let-alone theory has led to isolation, an isolation which pressing hard on Americans of the educated classes, has had still worse results from the Little Italics and Little Hungaries and Little Polands that have been allowed to build themselves wherever industry has called large bodies of foreigners | together. . The machinery for welding the people of a town hax been lacking, badly though it was needed. The Government hopes that Community Service-the united. good-will/ of the community itself toward friend ship-may build again the social life that leads to understanding, to teamwork, to constructive nation building. Community | sings, . social | centres, language classes, community . dances, organized physical education for . all children, organized . civic: conscious ness, working in the little and the big towns, not so much from a commercial as from a neighborly and friendly ideal; the interpretation of classes to each other, friendship and brotherlimess and "mixing," all through this too busy, self-centred America of cen That is the program that we have ‘ahead of us. That is the chore we [Rave to do, and it is the war camp ‘agencies, with their intensive, practi‘cal training behind them, who are to |show us how, |_ Ended? You remember what John {Paul Jones said on a somewhat sim|ilar subject-and he was a good American, too"Sir! I have not yet begun to fight!" _mgee____[BRINGS SHIPWRECKED SEAMEN [Army Cargo Transport Rescues Men Off New England Coast. The army cargo transport Isabella arrived at | Baltimore from | France bringing seven shipwrecked seamen. Six of them were Captain Charles H. Lake and the crew of five of, the schooner Francis B. Mesquite, . all Englishmen. They were taken off the schooner together with Emmest Brake, an American, thought to have been the sole survivor of a ship which sank. The vessel‘s name was not leatned. Erake had been transferred to the Mesquite from the steamer Success. ‘Later the Mesquite was caught in a terrific storm off the New England coast. Her crew was about to abandon the craft when the Isabella came up in response to her distress signals and took the men aboard. The dog "Jack", a New Foundland bred dog, only a pup about six months old was given to the Commander of the Isabella by Captain Lake of the Mesquite. . ‘The Commander of the Isabella gave "Juck to the crew and as the crew would soon separate, "Jack was given to Alonzo L. Speace and is now quite pleased with his new home at the Water Works. After the rescue of the . crew . of . the Mesquite she was sunk ‘by five well directed shots thus removing a menace to navigation. I WHY NOT BEAUTIF y _ WasHINcToX STREET It has been suggested by — many of our citizens that it would add much to the beauty of Washington street. if the City Commissioners would work out some planx whereby all of the old sheds that overhing . the side walk "d be removed and replaced by new It is understood that some a Aes jooc r nd ure silting to do their share. It only retina (o> .be city commissioners to start the in‘ rolling and all hands will get behind and help to push it on to completeness, This street has become to narrow for the travel that is now to be found each day. — With automobiles on either aide, it hardly gives a machine room ‘to pass and repass. | ---e4m --.

We have very lit Mc esss something to look at before going to o tes day for a parade in Newark on our| return. 1 have it better with Regi-/ mental Headquarters as we only drill one hour a day, and that with music! which makes it much easior. | Well this division has done its fight ing and we deserve to come home soon. The 77th is from New York! State and is telling how much the did. They say they had Grandpre and they did not, for I was there, and we relieved them thor sid, and we surely did loose a lot of men before we cleaned them out of the Citidal that was in a big hill overlooking the town, and then by the aid of a big barrage we went over the top and captured a number of villages with French people in them and they were no glad to see them enter that they kissed the boys. Give my best regards to everyone, and I hope I will be with you by Easter. They should let Germany fight her own battles over in Berlin, what do we care now in that line, so they deliver the goods. If they don‘t the Artillery is trained on them for action. This 76th division should be sent home soon; for we have been in active service most of the time.. It did more than its share on two fronts, but St. Michel whs not to be compared with Grandpre. Well give my best love to all and God bless and keep you. I am Your loving: son, ROBERT B. HAND, Reg. H.
