," HOUSANDS Of young men
all over the country are
trying to solve the prob
lem of how to live like
fighting cocks on nothing
a year. The scores of them whose lot
IS cast IL Washington. viii find the
problem solved for them up at the
new Y. NJ. c. A. building-that is, if
they are association members, or
willing to become such and eligible
thereto.
The desire to live like nghting
cocks is a universal human weak
ness; unfortunately the nothing a
year. is an almost equally universal
financial weakness. The two things
are hard to reconcile-and a great
many lovable and we'll meaning
young men go TO pieces on the rocks
OF this very human desire.
Washington is perhaps unique in
the size OF its transient population.
Il is the Mecca Of the thousands Of
young men who hope 10 go into Gov
ernment service. They come here
from all over the country. for the
most part from pleasant, comfortable
sort of homes, not necessarily luXu-
rious, but at least satisfying. Their
mothers and sisters do not come
with them; no attempt is made to
establish a home here. even when
there are neither father nor brothers
with an equal claim to the home
somewhere else. For Government
service is a more or less rowing prop
osition. II gives no sense of fnality
In residence.
These young men come from a
community OF homes to Washington.
A community for the most part of
boarding houses, and of light
housekeeping. To their sorrow they

ingly innocuous phrase. They find
themselves confronted with the
problem of living as they have been
accustomed TO living. They find it
costs a whole lot more than they
had figured it would. They make the
dreary round of the boarding houses.
If they arrive in summer they may
be fortunate enough 10 find some
thing that is not so bad" at price
that Is not absolutely out of the
question But il they consider that
that settles the matter they are sad

There is distinctly nothing 'dinky"
about the Y. NJ. c. AS new home.
Il has none of that air of conscious
virtue and dreary respectability that
one associates with an institution. A
good many are inclined TO shy at
that word institution" but there is

Here he can entertain the friends
from the home town who have look
ed him up unexpectedly, as pleasant
ly as he could at an expensive private
club. 1t is a vast improvement when
one wants to play the host on the
dreary dinginess of a boarding house
table. If he wishes it, word to Miss
Curtis or Miss Barret, the managers,
places the small private dining room
at his disposal, and he can be sure
of a-well of a st. Regis dinner at
absolutely rock bottom prices.
The restaurant is not let as a con-
cession, but is entirely an associa-
tion feature, run merely to pay ex-
penses. not with a view to making
money, and run only for association
members and their guests. The
kitchen is on the same plan. so that
there is no excuse for things getting
cold in transit. Meals are served
either table d'hote or a la carte, or
even, if one prefers. by the day or

The Y. NJ. C. A, as those familiar
with its plan of campaign know,

building is devoted. Here all the
classes, such as meet in the Y. NJ. c.

sions Here may be heard in the
early evening the hum of study and
the click OF typewriters. The equip
ment Of this floor is not luxurious;
it is essentially for work, but it is
as complete as it is possible to make
it.
On the next floor below Mr. Will
son looks after the spirit side OF
the triangle, with his clubs, lectures,
camera rooms, etc. There are sew
eral coy club and committee rooms,
each one little jewel in decoration
and furnishing. The whole floor is
given over to the social and spiritual
side Of the Y. NJ c. AS work. Fer,
while the religious idea is not forced
upon members, does not obtrude it
self on those who don't want to
listen, it underiies the whole fabric.
But the body is by no means ne
elected. Every Y. NJ c. A. in the
country probably has a gymnasium
of some sort. But few. if any, have
such a gymnasium as this one in
Washington. The member who
greets his friends in the splendid
lobby already touched upon prob
ably takes him back from it to see
the large and small gymnasiums on
the same floor. There are no better
gymnasiums in the most exclusive
athletic clubs in the country, and
few as good. Besides all the latest

EFFORTS FOR PEACE
DIPLOMATS TO SECOND THE DE-
sIREs OF THE PRESIDENT.

Expecting that Washington Is destined
to play an important part in the prelim-
irary negotiations that will precede the
cessation of hoStilities between Russia and
Japan, even though it may not be selected
as the scene for the actual peace negotia-
tons, Baron Sternburg, the German am
bassador, and Mr.. Jusserand, the French
ambassador, will sail for their respective
countries soon after comforting with Pres
ident Roosevelt when he returns from the
west.
Baron Sternburg will have several audi
ences with the emperor, and Mr.. Jusserand
will see President Loubet and M. Delcasse,
to whom will be communicated In an en-
tirely unofficial way the earnest wish OF
the President that the war end at the
earliest possible moment.
They will supplement their dispatches by
personal testimony of the activities at
Washington in that direction which have
been led by the President. In the event
that the outlook for the opening Of peace
negotiations this summer seems favorable
both amba sSadors will be prepared to return
to their posts at once
Sir Mortimer Durand, the British ambas-
sador, who sails tomorrow on the Etruria
for London, is In full possession Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's views, which he will COM
municate in an informal way to King Ed
ward So far as their ambassadors at WASH
ington can judge, King Edward and EN-
peror William are as DESTROYS as the Presi-
dent for an early ending Of the war.
