Membership Campaign.
The membership committee

The membership committee OF the
Y. NJ. G. "A. met at the association
building last evening and had supper
together. After the repast, plans were
made to increase fhe committee to
twenty or thirty members to work In
the special membership campaign
from the 1st to the 10th OF October.
This small group. does not expect
to do all the work alone, but want the
cooperation andA.loyal support OF
every member. Those who have
friends who should be members are
invited and urged to plan to bring
them in during the campaign. It is
the earnest desire to raise the mem
bership of the local organization to
six hundred members and by loyal,
earnest and united work. 1t is believ-
ed that the number can be easily
reached. Let every member and
every friend Of the association lay
aside every sign OF apathy and buckle
on the armor of work and duty, join
the fighting squad and battle for the
object in view and plans laid out by
the membership committee. Keep
fully abreast with no desire to break
ranks or drag along in the rear. but
shoulder to shoulder and elbow to ell
bow keep abreast in the forefront OF
the contest and victory is assured.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-In line
with the Sir Lionel Garden inter-
view and with criticism of Bey.
Turkish ambassador, the state de-
partment had brought to its attention
an interview given out by Won Schoen
former secretary to the German en-
bassy at Toxic which in substance.
Won Schoen predicted war between
the United States and Japan.
Secretary of State Bryan declined
to say whether the same course
would be pursued in Won Schoen's
case as followed in the Garden and
A. Ruhtem Bey episodes.
After comforting with President
Wilson, Secretary Bryan declared
nothing had been done yet in the
Won Schoen case" but the inference
| from his conversation was that the
department expects to take formal ac-
ton. "All of the lower class natives
of Japan believe war between Japan
| and the United States is inevitable
/ was the statement of Baron Won
| Schoen. He said there is intense
| hatred of America and Americans
/ among the japanese masses. When
the Japanese troops were being mob

! he said many natives thought Japan
was going to strike the United States.

The subject of the lecture tonight
