A'-cording to V. M. g. a oflicinla and
investigators of recent criticism
,nc fron> overseas, the, canteen has
been the cause of nfnetoen-tweuiieth*
oi the organization's trouble. In his
letter to Mr. Garter. General Pershing
declares that “t he V. M. o. A under-
took the management of the post
ohanges at my request at a time when
it was of the greatest importance that
n- available soldier should he taken
""ay from the vital military function
of training and fighting:” Y. M. G. \
men everywhere are sure that with tin
canteen in the hands of the army, all
criticism of the organization's over
seas work will cease, because of the im-
possibility of a civilian organization,
handicapped as the. Y. M G. \ |l;i
been, operating such a mammoth mer-
cantile enterprise as the p„st
