by the Young Mems Christian Association,
John r. Mott, one OF the international
leaders of the Y. NJ c. A. movement, ex-
pressed his view of the local association
apd of the men who are supporting it.
He was speaking of the work to be done
in the great countries of Asia, and he
pointed out that the Washington associ-
alton, In supporting Messrs. Grace Rut-
ledge and Brockman in India, Hongkong
and China, were doing more than any
other association in this country. He was
the principal speaker at the big meeting of
the association, and he was greeted, de-
spite the rain, with a large audience. The
Lyric Quartet Of Philadelphia rendered
several selections.
Asia is the theater of the twentieth
century," he said in opening his address
He continued by pointing out the i'm
mense populations of the countries of that
continent. In the Chinese plain the pop
in the country between Washington and
Boston the population averages ninety-pne
to the square mile. And the most agrees
sive and the most numerous class in the
empire is that composed of the young men.
And the temptations to the Chinese young
man are greater than the fercest tempta-
lions of the young man in American

evil in China; the young men are brought
up with 1t on all SIDES They have in the
opium curse something which the local
men do not have. Not less than IS per

Some of the triumphs of the Y. NJ G. A.
work in foreign countries were also touched
upon by the speaker The vice president
of the Mexican republic has accepted the
fairulanship of the branch in the City of
Mexico: the president of the republic of
Cuba has become a member of the associa-
ton; the Emperor and Empress of Japan

Duration of Revolt Explained
AN interview with Gov. Gen. Doubasson Is

the duration of the revolt is owing 10 the
- inc iSSloH III WHICH the military
forces are operating and owing to the lack
oI troops, which compelled Doubassoff to
await Ielntorcements from Warsaw and ST
Ietefsourg before giving the revolutionists
their death blow.
Inc most difficult task" the governor
general continued, was to drive them fron,

THE strikers of the Prokharoff mills who
heid the proprietor as hostage, were ready
to surrender Friday, but Col MINI who
conducted the negotiations, declined to ac-
eept their surrender unless they also de-
livered up the Drujinists,' who had sought
refuge there
Gov Gen. Doubassoff further declared
emphatically that the artillery bombarded
only the houses from which the revolution
lists fired.
Reinforcements are entering Courland
from four sides, but the leaders of the
Lettlsh revolution are imperturbative
1he papers publish terrible pictures of the
conditions prevailing along the Siberia n

prevails at Irkutsk. The military trains
are running without order or proper engi-
