miles from Washington to appreciate the
Y. NJ C. A. In trying to teach the people
of the Philippines how to govern them
selves, he said, forty provinces were or
appointed for them. OF the forty. he de-
clares, seventeen became defaulters In
side of eighteen months.
THAT was the most hun1iliating expe-
rience Of my life," he declared, because
it seemed to me each defaulter was a
traitor to his country" Those experiences,
he declared, showed him the necessity for
some agency among those men far from
home ties and away from the eyes Of peo-
pie they know, some agency which should
be substituted for the home and bring
those men in an atmosphere to resist the
temptations Of an oriental city. Because
the Y. M. c. A. offered that atmosphere,
with Christian club life he SAID he felt
personal gratitude to 1t for following
the army so closely into the islands.
He added that he had similar expert
ence in Panama. Thirty thousand men
were put into the belt Of the isthmus, he
declared, and 1t was realized that for eff
ficient workers some agency to keep the
men from vice must be found. To the Y.
M. c. A., he said the government turned
and has assisted the association in its
work there.
OF Judge Wiley, the next speaker,
Commissioner Mcfarland declared that
he had taken the stain off the American
judge stated that the Celestial Empire is
now friendly to the United States, and
that It. has decided to adopt western civil
iZation. In introducing that there, he
greatest trouble in China today. he said,
is that the country has not the men to
put into high Office. whom the people can
trust and whom they can follow. For de-
veloping young men for the high posi-
tons, he added. the Y. M. c. A. has a
special work.
Mr.. Mott, in the concluding address
pronounced Japan as the most brilliant
nation of the world and China the great
est nation OF today. He described the
Toxic last year. and declared that it has
strengthened the hands OF, Christianity
all over the world, and has shown how
the association is uniting the young men
of the world and. in consequence, the
nations.
