er will be glad to publish communica
tons on matters of current interest.
Articles must be signed. We will not

Concerning The Y. NJ. c. A.
People of Americas: My experience
as child and youth in my home city,
Atlanta, of the beneficial influence OF
the Y. NJ c. A. upon me physically,
mentally, morally and spiritually,
prompts me to speak word in behalf
of this institution in your midst.
My observation and experience of
the condition and surroundings of the
boys and young men in Americas, es-
pecially of those whose homes are else
where, urges me to say emphatically
that the principles and purposes of
the Y. NJ. c. A. are demanded in your
city.
Put your institution out of debt that
thus unhampered it may work out
/ those principles and purposes; sustain
/ il by your prayers; beautify it by your
SITS; grace it by your presence-that
| Il may be more than ever the meeting
place of our boys and young men, par
ticularly "the stranger in our midst" ;
rather than those places whose pur-
/ pose is money gain and whose princi
pie is moral loss
Yours for a bigger and better Amer
icus, ]. w. STOKES.

URGES NEW INFANTRY STEP.
Flexion System Should Be Taught to
Soldiers, Says Capt. Hughes.

According to Capt. W. n. Hughes. jr.,
7th United States Infantry. in a report
to the War Department, the fiexion step
is less fatiguing than ordinary wa king,
and by its use a greater distance can be
covered in equal time than otherw Sc.
The chief advantage claimed for The
fiexion step is that with it there is just
enough leaning forward from the hips 10
cause the body to move forward by
gravity without the legs push ng, thus
removing the strain on the legs, inducing
a longer stride and reducing fatigue.
Capt Hughes believes that the method
of walking and running to be used by
infantry troops should be more fully ex-
plained and more carefully taught. The
flexion step, he says must be taught in
order to get any success out of it, and he
adds that like swimming, once taught.
it is never forgotten.
Other officers. including Capt. A. L.
Ovenshine, eth Infantry, do not agree
with Capt. Hughes as to the ADVANTAGES
of the fiexion step. Copt. OvenShine SAID
that while Capt. Hughes company in
recent test with that step exceeded the
usual marching rate. il was due 10 IN
creased effort. the men at the end or the
march showing fatigue and excessive
heart action.
Mai. L. A. Fuller, Medical Corps, founo
a pulse rate of 1856 to the minute. ana
evidence of strain, out considering the
distance marched % miles,, the time
occupied in the march and the climatic
cond. tions-the day was rather sultry and
the weather not stimuating-the condi-
ton of the men is considered TO nave been
very good" Maj. John A. Murtaughs
Medical Corps, expressed similar views.

POTASH ON PACIFIC COAST.
Klein Reds Will Furnish Plentiful
Supply, Says DR.. Cameron.

That the kelp beds along the Pacific
coast will furnish the farmers Of the
United States with a plentiful supply of
potash for fertilizer was the declaration
of DIR. Frank r. Cameron of the bureau
of soils, Department Of Agriculture, in
an address last evening at George WASH
ington University. Beds of this giant
seaweed lying Off the coast of California.
said DIR. Cameron. will furnish at least
5000 600 tons Of fertilizer, the potash in
which can be readily and cheaply made
available for agricultural use. Similar
beds, Dr. Cameron said. probably exist
off the coast of Alaska, and he announced
that he will explore that part of the Pa
cific coast during the coming summer.
The discovery and utilization of these
great kelp beds and their contained pot
ash, said DIR. Cameron. will make the
farmers OF this country independent OF
German potash supplies. Germany here
tofore having enjoyed a virtual monopoly
of this essential element in agriculture.
Farmers of the United States. he stated,
have been compelled to pay to German
potash producers from $12.OO0OOO to $l6.-
600, 600 annually for the fertilizer. which
amount will be saved to the United States
by the utilization of the potash from the
beds in the Pacific.
