HAS PRIDE IN YOUNG MEN
WHO ELEVATE THE CITY
Tribute psid to the 7. N. g. A. Of
Washington by Secretary
Daniels.
Results Achieved In Campaign Of
the Organization for Increasing
It's Membership.

That Washington should be the model
city Of the nation, not so much because
Of its fine buildings and monuments, but
rather because of its Christian young
men," was the wish expressed by Secrc-
tary JosephuS Daniels of the Navy De
rartment in an address at the Y. NJ c. A
last evening. Secretary Daniels said he
hoped tho Y. NJ. c. A. would obtain tho
900 members IT is seeking in the
six-day campaign, thus making it the
iargest association In the world in city
IF the same size as the capital.
II prefer to see the largest Y. NJ, c. A.
n the capital Of the United States" de-
Jared the Secretary. more than to see
more parks and public buildings, for. after
III. there is nothing like man. I should
Ike to see put on the dome Of the Capitol
statement that we are proud Of the fine
huildings and monuments. but that we
arc proud Of the young men who raise
he city higher than Its monuments
City Which Belongs to Everybody.
Washington is the only city which be-
longs to everybody" declared the speaker.
We are all proud Of 1t. whether we live
in North Carolina or Maine. 1t is city
10 which all parts of the United States
look In beauty. civic and moral matters.
1t should be city set upon hill In
morals and civic matters as well as beauty.
You here in Washington owe par
ticular duty. You are attracting here
the young men of talent from all parts
of the country. Washington owes IT to
these young men to give them the best
possible environment. When young
men leave home they frequently forget
their religious ties. 1t is for the Y. NJ.
c. A. to give them place where they
can meet friends and where they can
build up their moral and spiritual
selves.
IF anything would make me doubt
the wisdom of Almighty God 1t is that
boys have the passions of men without
the power Of restraint. 1t is the high
est duty of men to surround boys and
men before they have reached the age
Of twenty-five with influences that viii
help to keep them from temptation
The saddest thing in the world is the
young man who wastes his power be-
fore he knows he is q man.
Men in the old days lived in the
country" he explained at another point
work together. I'm those days they
lived in their own way-as individuals.
Today we live in flats and houses SO
close together that We are one great
by himself now, without team work. In
this team work he must be willing to
sacrifice some of his own ideas"
Advice to Team Members.
william r. GUIDE. former president Of
the Washington Chamber Of Commerce,
urged the team members to get to-
Hether and work-you want the best
material In the capital. When I started
for the Y. NJ. C. a. this evening ! felt
that 1 was going among crowd of
strangers-now l see that l am among
friends. I am happy and proud to be
one of you.
