A TYPICAL SOLDIER GATHERING
f
The Army Y. M. C. A. is the gathering place of the soldiers In every camp. It Is his substitute for home, and
he soon learns to go there when he Is threatened with homesickness. He is seldom disappointed, for the "Y" slo
gan is "something doing all the time." \
This crowd was too big to get inside the building, so they .had the program outside. The soldiers are listening
to a lecture on mental and physical cleanliness by Dr. Clark, a noted sex lecturer. The picture was taken at Camp
Travis, San Antonio, Texas, where thousands of soldiers from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and other states receive
their training for the big adventure.

Here is a familiar scene in any Y.
M. C. A. building at onr army camps.
Ice-cooled water "bubblers" quench
the thirst of thousands of soldiers,
and during a "run" on. the fountains
the "water line" often extends across
the building.
The Army Y. M. C. A. is the en
listed man's dub, where he may read,
write letters, buy stamps and post
cards, have bundles wrapped free of
charge, get money orders, play games,
and meet his comrades for a social
hour.
The bubbling cold water fountain is
one of the most popular advantages
offered the soldiers by the Army "Y"
In the Southern department, which Is
composed of Texas, Arkansas, Okla
homa, Louisiana, New Mexico and
Arizona.
