DR. STITT HAS PRAISE FOR U.S. MEN OVERSEAS FormeN Omaha Pastor Says American Soldiers Are the Manly Sort and Yearn for Church. Rev. J. H. Stitt, formerly pastor of McCabe Methodist church in Omaha, who Is now overseas as a divisional director of social activi ties, has written some wonderful letters home letters which tfll of the American solder. his likes and dislikes, his bearing and beliefs, and which throw much light on his life 4 abroad. Here are some extracts from these letters-which will interest Omaha and Nebraska people: "My own appointment is in my Estimation a particularly happy one md f am enjoying it immensely. I have a task which I hardly ared" ;hope would fair to me so soon, namely divisional director of relig ious and social activities, something ike running a good sized chantau qua; with hundreds of good, red- blooded American soldiers for an ever ready and appreciative audi- ence. Oh, how I love those boys! They will do anything for you, and both officers and men show a gen . tlemanliness which, to say the least, $ exceedingly delightful. Traii; for Yankees. , "Really, it would he impossible for one to speak too highly of the spirit and manly bearing of our soldier boys in France. They have hard work to do every day, whether Sunday or not, but their demeanor shows that they like to keep the Sabbath atmosphere whenever pos sible. They are actually begcing for preaching services and Bible classes, and the one thing we have to guard against is to announce a religious service and tnen only pro , i-ide a lecture. It must be the real thing, with hymns and all, or it won't go.' So far, I have found ;he offjeers perfectly' ready to give every facility for our work with "" ' their men. - ' "I am delighted to be able to tell .you, that I have failed to find any . ;vidence of the frightful social dis order that we all feared would re sult fr.om having our army placed on -French soil. The men are liv ing good, clean lives and every inch of. their fine young manhood is needed1 for the arduous toil which isi daily the lot of an American soldier. I am proud of them ahd - their officers. God bless them.' "France is lovely. Imagine a broad, sweeping valley, flanked on either side with now gently sloping uplands, now quite precipitous hills. The spadej between is irregularly ; divided up into fields of varying r shades of green and yellow, accord ing to the nature of the crops, a stone- wall or low ditch forming the dividing line. A ribbon-like river threads the center, and tall poplars and fragrant pines complete a scene which, to my mind, finds its counterpart only in good old England. Meets Nebraska Boys. "A few days ago I met two Ne braska university boys who belong to the hospital unit here. One of them war Walter Rudersdorf of South Omaha. He is a brother of Mrs. Doane Powell. - I was waiting autside the Y tent at the hospital ready to introduce my opera people, , but something went wrong with the works and they did not arrive, so Mr. Rudersdorf and I employed ths. time very pleasantly finding, out that each came from good old Omaha which is wonderful tonic to . the men in these strange suf - roun dings. X . "My work brings me in touch with the boys of the 36th , division of the A. E. F. We have splendid talent among the men. I have a really fine quartet who made some tours before enlisting. They sang the "Rosary? this morning how's that for a preaching service? "Last Sunday night the tentral hut was full of men listening so eagerly ' and quietly as I preached to them - on 'Jesus of Nazareth Passeth By,' my own soul greatly moved by the jmnv.nse opportunity. At the close it was, 'You fure did your duty to night, sir, I tnjoyed that the feest kind. This here's bin the first ser mon I've heard since I come to France,' and others in the same 'strain. It isn't the compliment that one enjoys, but the glad feeling of being able to help them. - "At the close of the sermon about 20 of the boyi formed a Bible class to meet every Wednesday nigh.. We have given them the- books to study on the 'Manhood of the Mas ter,' by Fosdick. The Y. M. C. Ai is certainly supplying tools that are excellent to work with. You may tell all the folk for me that money given to the luppport of the 'Y' is certainly given to the right cause." American Soldiers Greatly Interested in . News of Peace Moves , With the Americao Army North west of Verdun, Nov. 1. (By Asso ciated Press.)
