Secretary Taft has approved an order
granting the Young Mems Christian As
sociaticn permission to establish its
work at army posts. and to use army
buildings. IT. case such buildings be

their use for such purposes wise.
The order is a compromise measure,
and grants commanding officers full au-
thority to regulate the work of the as
ISOLATION. Secretary Taft approved an
order granting greater privileges to the
association. but this was modified be-
cause OF the protests made by promi-
nent army officials, who declared il un-
wise to allow civilians TO enter army
posts unless subject 10 the orders of Of
dcers.
