"Artillery Was Active Is the Mild Explanation Of Constant Shellfire
Dr. George Lewis Meylan Gives Report on Y. M. C. A. Work at Front
A bulletin received by Hugo Wedell this morning from the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A contains a graphic account of Y. M. work at the front. The account is written by Dr. George Louis Meylan, a professor at Columbia, who has just returned from seven months in France.
"Those over here who have not been in the war zone must forget their old time ideas of warfare and its dangers. Forget this old idea of open fighting, with troops battling across a plain the size of a large athletic field. Modern artillery shoots for miles and is always shooting. Every person within twenty miles of the trenches is under fire practically all of the time, yet the reports do not call this a battle. The reports announce 'The artillery was active,' and that means shells anywhere from five to twenty-five miles back of the trenches.
THREE DAYS BOMBING BEFORE RAID
"Early in April the Germans made night raids and their airplanes were active in bombing, keeping up the fire for three days, during which time persons below were kept dodging. On the second day two "Y" men in a Foyer de Soldat—one of the soldiers huts provided by the French with "Y" men in charge—when, with five or two shells struck, a few yards away, the enemy hit the hut. The 'Y' men were knocked down by the concussion. It seemed a miracle they were not hit, for soldiers were killed and wounded all around them.
"John Murray, fencing master of Columbia University and of the New York Athletic Club was knocked unconscious, a danee worker was killed.
LUCKY THE CONVERSION
"In a certain woods the shells were dropping so thickly that the French commander ordered our men to abandon their huts. The order was not received until evening, a 'Y man of my acquaintance decided not to leave until next morning as he wished to take his stuff. Next morning he was approaching the hut when a French officer stopped to exchange farewells. This took little more than a minute, and the Red Triangle worker started on his way when a shell exploded on the path near the hut at the point where he would have been had he not been detained. This is only a fair sample of the hair's breadth escapes experienced by the 'Y workers. Eighty of our men with the Canadians have been killed. They work from 6 to 8 o'clock in the morning until 11 o'clock at night, seven days a week and with only a week off every three months. But many of them never take their week off.
KULTURE DOES SOME BLUFFING
"I went forward toward the trenches to meet the American soldiers coming back after their baptism of fire at Chemin des Dames and they were all eagerness for more. The Germans had sent picked troops against them, their strongest men in brand new equipment, to impress the Americans that Germany had an abundance of everything, material and robust men. Quite a contrast to the ill-equipped, ematriated men the French had taken prisoners."
"The Americans give such good account of themselves in this fight, that the French could not praise them enough."

Dancing Stops Early At Other Universities
Los Angeles, Calif., high school has initiated something new in the Red Cross Salvage Drive. It has had a Bottle Day and a Kid Glove Day and is planning a "Rubber Day and an Old Furniture Day.
The Red Cross means Morale.
The Red Cross is swift to succor wherever disaster may strike.
A report of the results concerning the effect of war upon social activities of the questionnaires which were recently sent out to the different state universities, has been compiled by Mrs. Eustace Brown. She has found that of the entire list only two have the privilege of holding social affairs as late as 1 o'clock. The University of Washington has the ruling that parties and dances may continue until 1 o'clock, but during this entire year not one organization has held later than 12 o'clock.
Only three of the universities on the list have no limit to the number of dances that may be given by any one organization. Every university reports a noticeable effect of the war upon the social life. Only four universities reported no effect of the war upon dress.
Home Guards Show K. U. "Pep"
University students down town
Sunday night were surprised to hear
and see some of the old, original Jai-
yawahker spirit marching down Massachusetts Street. The battalion of Kansas Guards of Lawrence had just finished a long Sunday hike. Many were tired and hot, but a long "Rock Chalk" and other K. U. yells given showed that many of the men were University students and that the long march had improved their fighting spirit rather than sapped it.
Reserve Recruit (on guard): "Advance and give the cowertisgn!" The Courier (impatiently): "I've forgotten it."
Reserve Recruit (with equal impatience): "Well, say 'Washington', and pass on. I'm not going to wait for you for you to think." Puck.
