Men Confined in “Disciplinary Bar.

Appreciate Training.
Thanks to the Y. M. C. A. many of
the “disciplinary barracks” maintained
by the United States for its soldiers
who fracture the rules that govern the
buck private and officer alike aren’t all
dark walls and dark living. Such a
one is historic Fort Jay at Governor’s
island. New York harbor, where be
tween 200 and 300 soldiers are usually
confined, most of whom are “in” for
minor offenses. A few, however, are
being “cared for” only a few days,
prior to their taking up a longer resi
dence at Fort Leavenworth, the army
prison.
Col. John E. Hunt was commanding
officer of Fort Jay during the World
war, and he introduced “Y” activities
for its inmates. Since that time the
secretaries have kept up their work.
The “Y" is housed in the first build
ing of its kind the organization ever
built in this country. Every Wednes
day the confined men are allowed to
attend the “sing-song.” and about 175
v? the men make the wails resound.
The Sunday evening religious service
Is even better attended, more than 200
taking part.
Another feature of the work is the
teaching of volunteer instructors of
edutita.nal subjects. Spanish and
French courses, together with reading,
writing and arithmetic, ar> ? proving the
most popular subjects. The m»n show
