Soon after his arrival in France, August 19, 1918, he became Director of the Religious Work Department of the Young Menfs Christian Association in its army workin France. He had previously held conferences with the army secretaries of the Association in Italy and was familiar with -conditions all along the Western Front. His appointment toithis important position re-enforced the work of the Association at a vital point and at a critical timel He gave a great deal of thought to determining the proper basis for the Religious Work of the Association and devised a program for the demobilization period. A staff of strong men was formed to work under his direction in the carrying out of this program. President King closed his active connection with the Association April 19, 1919, when he took up full work on the Commission to which he had been ap- pointed by President VVilson on March 26th. I-Ie and Mr. Charles R. Crane were at this time made members of the American Section of the Peace Conference Commission onsMandates in Turkey. The other allies did notlappoint represen- tatives on this Commission, but President Wilson requested President King and Mr. Crane to proceedlto the East with a staff of assistants and investigate con- ditions. This investigation required extensive travel throughout Palestine, Syria, and parts of Turkey. In addition the Commission was visited by delegations to the number of 1,520, many of' them from remote and-widely separated regions not visited by the'Commission. In this way athorough acquaintance was gained with the entireregion. The Commission then settled in Constantinople for a time, where the results of the investigation were incorporated into a carefully prepared report. 'The Commission returned to Paris August 27th. For a long time before the war the Balkans and parts of Turkey had been a center of world interestbecause situated on the road connecting Central Europe with Central Asia. According to present indications these countries will be an even more strategic rQion in the future than in the past. Wliatever be the im- mediate result of the work done by President King, Mr. Crane, and their assist- ants, their report is likely to be of permanent value and at some time of crisis in the future may be the basis for action of world-wide significance. President King reached Oberlin September 16th, the day before College opened, :india few evenings later on the platform in front of the Chapel was given a reception by citizens and students that no one' present will ever forget. 26 HWMMMMMWMWWMMMMWMMWMWMMMWMMMmmmmmmmmmmmwmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
