Praise for Workers
V ORGANIZED LEAVE AREAS
IVnnklln Spcncor Kdmoud?, riiiluilcl
pl.lA lnvvyer, who first planned American
leave mo ns for tlic doughboys In Trance,
didn't henr criticism of the Y. M. C.
A. when lie was "ocr there."
"All I heard wns appreciation of what
we were doing in the ledvc mens," he
snld today nt the Hotel Manhattan in
New York. He returned from France
jostcrday nftir n jear and n half of
service nhroad.
"I did not hear the criticism they
, talk about, for the boj wcii! too full
of appreciation of our efforts to show
them n good time, iliey spoke otnj
good tilings when they came to the
lenvc aieas.
"Wo had twenty-six of these aieas
in the show plates of Tiancc and we did
our best to let ,lhe bojs hnc a good
time, l'iom what they said, thev did
hate it. Most of the areas will lie
closed bj July 1.
1'irnili Want Visitors to (Jo Home
Asked about the telatious between
the Krcmli and Americans, Mr. lid
mouth said : .
"It fs clear that the Kiench are eager
to bau the Isitois In their countrj
go liomc. The hne been under n tie
mendous strain and arc eager to get
back to normal, just as wc are lieie."
He said the most important element in
the Y. M. (.'. A. woik nhroad now is the
woik beiug done by the ","00 women
now in "Y" canteens in 1'ianco and
Germany.
"We lime SoOO men nnd 2."00 women
over there now," he said. "When the
nimy was nt its gieatest we had as
many ns M)00 woikeis. In the ifSO vil
lages where the nrmy of occupation
lives in Oeimnny the American woman
is in gient demand to give the 'home
touch' to those lonesome bojs. Wc have
sent most of our canteen worKeis theic
and they arc making it seem as much
like home ns is possible.
Moicll'roud Than Ever of IT. S.
"I feel well satisfied with the woik
the Y. M. C. A. did in France. And
I am proud of America now, more than
ever. The big thing Ameiica tinned
out is the Amciicnn doughboj. It is
silly, of enmsc, to say that the dough
boy won the war. He did a big'thing,
but it is not for that alone int wc ad
mile him. He was so big and tine in
his pcisonnlity. He is the gieatest
thing Ameiica ever produced."

Vermont. P-ecently he got a furlough
while the ship was in Portsmouth, nnd
then Herrern came to Philadelphia.
"I had heard a lot about Philadel

sjmpathy, that I do not think I should

"Whatever our politics," he said
"and even if the league of nations be
imperfect, we must give it n triul. Hut
no pact of governments and no law Is
adhered to and obeyed unless the heart
of the people is In them. Wc can
greatly assist in rousing the spirit of the
people to this realization. The Hoy
Scout movement is a universal brother
hood. The same pledge and promise In
every countrv : the same ideas of decen
cy, of chivalry, of courtesy, of helpful
ness. ."As long as the Scouts of the Pnited
States and of (ircat Hritain stand to
gether, and as long ns that uuitv is a
icffection of the attitude of the two
nations, peace is assured, even if the
league should prove a fdlline. The Hoy
Scout movement has stood the test not
only of war but hns (ome out with Hying
colors. It will stand the test of peine."
The 1000 ;ii Scouts who paiaded
