I have seen the work of the Salvation Army in France and consider it very helpful and valuable. I trust you will be able to secure the means not only for its maintenance but for the enlargement of its scope. It is a good work and should be encouraged. Leonard Wood. Camp Funston, Kansas. Brigadier-General Duncan wrote to Colonel Barker the following letter: December 7, 1917. The Salvation Army in this its first experience with our troops has stepped very closely into the hearts of the men. Your huts have been open to them at all times. They have been cordially received in a homelike atmosphere and many needs provided in religious teachings. Your efforts have the honest support of our chaplains. I have talked with many of our soldiers who are warm in their praise and satisfaction in what is being done for them. For myself I feel that the Salvation Army has a real place for its activities with our Army in France and I offer you and your workers, men and women, good wishes and thanks for what you have done and are doing for our men. G. B. Duncan, Brigadier-General. The Salvation Army is doing a great work in France and every soldier bears testimony to the fact. Omar Bundy, Major-General.
