EXCELLENT ,SA FOR '. M. e. s2,eOO
Contributions Being'ReceiVed by
 George s; 1Talcott Treasurer

Interest in the war relief work of the Y. M. C. A. was greatly stimn- lated by Mi. Carter's address at the annual meeting of the losaf organizaS tion last Sundayt evening.
 t. A generous response has already been made by several citizens to the' appeal for $2,0O0 for maneat the front to work among men of ell na- tionalities who are reached in this way more directly, perhaps, than by any other agency.
 The results of the men of the fra ternal feeling thus expressed, for the comfort of communication, through facilities with friends at home, for the cheer and as one poor fellow eX- pressed it, the heartening up" of these ccnters is most. genuine and en- thusiastic. One English lieutenant being greatly impressed by the good work done at the international nuts" of the Y. M. C. A. in France, gave a months salary to the enter prise Boy Scouts in England are trying to give two shillings lpiece ia some places to the work and on the continent there is the same apprecia- ton and so far as possible the same desire to help by sacrificing gifts, IlIlo DlOIH6IlS WOTh WHICH WILL pro- mote good feeling rather than hate among all belligerent people.
 Are there not in this city boys for whom so much is done who will find some way for contributing Uo this international work?
 MT. Barnes, secretary of the Y. M. c. A., and G. S. Talcott, treasurer of the special fund for war relief will receive any contributions. There will be no general canvas, but persons in- terested in this good work are earn estly requested to make their gifts as promptly as possible. Contributions for this purpose are kept 4uite dis tinct from funds for the general work of the American Young Mems Christian Association. A good begin ming has been made toward the $2,000 which it is hoped New Britain will raise for work near the firing line.

At this late day it might be impossible to get rid of some of the dead wood on the force now; but those who are drafting and modifying the tentative sented to the common council at the next meeting should bear in mind some of the existing frailties of the force and see to it that taaS are not repeated, that in the futu1the men measure up to well deff4ed physical and mental standards? /

saw him putting away on his Ameri- can tobacco, the first London cOftee house was established. Charles II sought to abolish it as it was SUD- posed to be the place of meeting for disloyal subjects, but coffee drinking grew and coffee houses multiplied. The Arabian province of Yemen, of which Mocha was the chief seaport, supplied practically all the berries used. At the end of the seventeenth century the coffee plant was introduced into Java and in a short time mocha and java became a trade name of great pOpu- 1arity.
 "It was in ITS that Jamaica re- ceived her first consignment of coffee plants from Amsterdam, and from that time dates the rapid growth of the in dustrv in the western hemisphere un- til today Brazil produces three-fourths of the worlds supply.
 Mocha with it's big white buildings, presents an imposing appearance when viewed from the decks of steam CTS passing through the Red sea, but a closer examination reveals that tilIs grandeur is mirage and that the big buildings are chiefly ruins. The town is like the hull of the coffee fruit, from which the berry has been taken. ships of deep draft can no longer anchor in the bay and shallow native vessels are a,nplc to handle the small percentage of the commerce of Yemen which reaches there, most or the cdIa\ dll' now going to Hodeida and Alden.
