Excerpt from Service With Fighting Men: An Account of the Work of the American Young Men's Christian Associations in the World War Notwithstanding the extended, varied, and rich experience of the Association Movement before the War, its efforts, like those of all other organizations, and, in fact, like virtually all departments of all governments engaged in the conflict, were attended with shortcomings and mistakes. It is one of the merits Of this history of the Y war work that these are frankly admitted and treated with unusual candor. It should be added, however, that, taking full account of the flaws and blunders in the pathway of this great undertaking, they seem relatively negligible when placed in contrast with the vast volume of patriotic, constructive service rendered by the tens of thousands of men and women workers in charge of the enterprise, and likewise by the multitudes of American citizens who so generously backed them by advocacy, by use of influence, and by sacrificial gifts.
