night—and pretty wet and hungry—that have been warmed and fed and sent on their way with new courage because of what some Salvation Army worker and hut furnished. And as they went their way many fine things were said about the Salvation Army. I am sure, as a result of this work, you have won the favor and confidence of hundreds of these soldier lads, and, if I am not terribly mistaken, when we get home the Salvation tambourine will receive greater consideration than heretofore. I am glad to express my feelings for your work. God bless you in it, and always! Sincerely yours, Lyman Bollins, Division Chaplain, Headquarters, Third Division, A. E. F., via New York. At the Front in France, June 12, 1918. Commissioner Thomas Estill, Salvation Army, Chicago. My Dear Commissioner: We are engaged in a great battle. My time is all taken with our wounded and dead. Still I cannot resist the temptation to take a few moments in which to express our appreciation of the splendid aid given our soldiers by the Salvation Army. The work of the Salvation Army is not in duplication of that of any other organization. It is entirely original and unique. It fills a long-felt want. Some day the world will know the aid that you have rendered our soldiers. Then you will receive every dollar you need. Your work is also greatly appreciated by the French people. I have never heard a single unfavorable comment on the Salvation Army. They are respected everywhere. Their unselfish devotion to our well, sick, wounded and dead is above any praise that I can bestow. God will surely greatly reward them. I heartily congratulate you on the class of workers you have sent over here. I pray that your invaluable aid may be extended to our troops everywhere. God bless you and yours, In His name, (Signed) Thomas J. Dickson, Chaplain with rank of Major, Sixth Field Artillery, First Division, U. S. Army. An appreciation written concerning the first Salvation Army chaplain that was appointed after the war started: Camp Cody, New Mexico, January 16, 1918. Major E. C. Clemans, 136th Infantry, Camp Cody, N. M. Commissioner Thomas Estill, Chicago, Ill. I have been associated with the chaplain now for nearly four months. I have found him a Christian soldier and gentleman. He is “on the job” all the time and no Chaplain in this Division is doing more faithful and effective work. He is thoroughly evangelistic, is burdened for the souls of his men and is working for their salvation not in but from their sins. He is a “man’s man,” knows how to approach men and knows how and does get hold of their affections in such a way that he is a help and a comfort to them. He brings things to pass. The Salvation Army may be well pleased that it is so well represented in the Army as it is by Chaplain Kline. Sincerely yours, (Signed) Ezra C. Clemans, Senior Chaplain, 34th Division. July 11, 1918.
