The 2. Y. G. a II Thg orIent.

IN no phase Of r. 81 G. A. activities
4 the work 81 the association thrown
against more picturesque or dramatic
background than in its labor in the Far
East. writes Hugh G. Weir in The Circle
Magazine for May. 1t is work for
those young men who, in al the world
face the most stupendous problems.
Among the youth in the gymnasiums
and libraries Of the Y. NJ, G. a. we viii
find the leaders of the new Orient-the
men who are 70 guide the oldest nations
in history through their greatest crises,
and upon whose shoulders largely de-
ponds the question of how China and
Japan aud India and Ceylon are to use
the new power that il just within their
grasp.
We are accustomed to view the east
ern half Of the world much as the
minority party IN politics. Few Of Us
know that while the continents Of
Europe and America boast 400,000000
inhabitants those Of Asia and Africa
boast 900,O00,000, two and half times
as many These hundreds of millions
have been doing through the centuries
which have given us the supremacy at
the globe, but they are waking up. For
over two hundred years missionery
heroism aud martyrdom have been sow
ing seed in the worlds darker half, and
we are Just realizing that the harvest
Is at hand. We have nourished that
harvest, we have eliminated one by one
the obstacles to its growth, the reapng
will not be in our hands. The most
that we may do is to strengthen and
develop the reapers even as we have de-
veIoped their harvest. The reapers are
the young men Of China and Japan and
India and Korea, the youth Of today
who will be the statesmen and the ed
ucators and the warriors Of tomorrow.
These are the nation builders whose
future and that Of so great percentage
Of the worlds population depends large
III upon the influence of the Y. M. G. a..
and the currents Of physical, mental,
and moral manhood set in motion on
American territory by Americans.

NORTH QUITS AS
CENSUS CHIEF
End Of the Controversy With
Secretary Nagel
DURAND SUCCEEDS HIM
Controversy with Secretary Of Commerce
and Labor Nagel Was Directly
Responsible for the Action
Taken.
DURAND SUCCEEDS HIM

Washington, May ELS. N. D. North
director Of the census has rendered his
resignation to President Taft, and 1t has
been accepted.
+. Dana Durand, deputy commissioner
Of corporations, has been named TO snc-
coed him. North's resignation is d.
rect result OF his recent controversy with
Secretary Of Commerce and Labor Nagel.
The following statement in connection
with the case was given out at the
White House:
Director North rendered his resgna
ton as director Of the census. It was
accepted and the name Of Mr. r. Dana
Dnrand, now deputy commissioner Of
corporations, has been sent TO the Sen.
ate as his successor.
"Mr. North's resignation as director
Of the census was based on the grouDi
that on account Of conditions existing
and likely to continue, his administra-
ton OF the census Office would not prob
ably be successful"
Mr.. Durand is from Florida He has
been in the bureau Of corporations for
some time and il is believed viii work
in harmony with Secretary Nagel.
II had been supposed up to Within
the last few days that the controversy
between Secretary Nagel and Director
North had been amicably adjusted The
friction between the two continued, how.
ever, and at last Secretary Nagel put
the matter squarely up 10 President
Taft saying that he or Mr. North would
have TO leave the service, as existing
conditions between them we're impossi-
bic.
Mr.. North held to tho belief that the
census bureau WAS an independent inst
tuition and that he was responsible only
to the president. IA congressional en-
actmeut put the census bureau under the
department Of commerce and labor, how
ever and Secretary Nagel felt that in
spite Of the great powers conferred BY
Congress on the director, that official
should be subordinate to the cabinet Off
Ger in charge Of the bureau.
