Y. M. C. A. Work in Amy Life
Suggested Twenty Years Ago.

Press reports from all over the
United States tell of the Y. M. c. A.
work among the different state ma

ing their most efficient workers to the
Mexican border to labor with the SOL
der boys. The work has become a
part of the organization and is now
recognized as an important factor in
the make up of the volunteer army.
The guardsmen profit by constant re
ligious association, and are made bet

Few people know that this country,

Oskaloosa, Iowa, twenty years ago,

Swain of the Third Iowa Infantry.
His experiment in 1896, having large

following to say of the adventure,

mr.. NINDE RESPONDS
Cables Money From London For the
Penn College Campaign.


From London, England, where a
great loan has just been negotiated
for billion and a half dollars, which
makes grand total of fourteen bill
lions that it has cost England to pros
ecute a great and awful war, there
comes cable from Mr.. Elvyn Nfnde,
a former citizen of Oskaloosa, and
Peace loving Quaker, for one
Comprehension in American money
for the purpose OF educating the young
and promulgating the peace OF ma

of men, women and innocent children,
and villages, and this stupendous
amount, almost beyond the conipre-
hension OF Inen, apparently given
supposed to be a Christian nation,
dred pounds from the heart OF that
great city where at night oftentines
German Zeppelins hover overhead and
drop their death dealing bombs,
comes this beautiful sentiment or re-
gard for the better, purer. real things
OF life.
If the city of Oskaloosa and the peo-
Pile of the county and others would
act as spontaneously for Penn College
which represents peace, righteous
ness and education, as has the Eng
lish nation for purposes of defensive
and offensive war, the sum of 100000
would be as a drop In bucket. But
1t seems up to the present time that
to accomplish a truly great and good
work 1t requires the hardest EFFORT
and most earnest pleading to obtain
half money enough for the many
needs. 1t is surely a great pity that
so grand an institution as Penn Col
lege should be obliged to ,underpay
its force Of noble. devoted, intelligent
teachers, and even to deprive It's STU

struments necessary for their train

ness men that this amount could be
raised and 1t is fully expected that
they will do it but it cannot be done
without many sacrifices, and up to
the present time it has not been done.
The sum of $115, 1850 has been
subscribed by the city, leaving def
cit of $34,181.50. Practically but
two days remain in which to raise
this amount, but it must comet win
come.
One good woman came into Head
quarters, yesterday, and inquired
earnestly what the city was doing and
stated that if it was to be hard pull
for the city to raise the full amount
she. wanted to encourage others to
give by promising them that as the
amount subscribed by the city reaches
near the S150,000 mark, she will give
the last $1,000, and this is not all that
she will have given, but this she felt
constrained to do more as an encour-
agement to others.

At STATE CONVENTION
Charley Needham Gives Some In
n teresting Sidelights.

Charley Needham, in the Grinnell
Register: Well, l fumed and sweat
and ran around in a circle at the Re-
publican state convention Wednesday,
It was hot one, both from political
and weather standpoint. It has al
ways been mystery to me why so
many of us fellows will go to state
convention and suffer with the heat
and be so uncomfortable when we
might remain at home and be comfort
able. But it Is politics and all in the
game.
Of course, when struck Des
Moines, | stopped at Geo. Christians
home, the Slavery. 1t was after six
o'clock and was sort of hungry. The
first man / met was Tom Bray, of
Oskaloosa. Say, it seems funny to
say Tom is from Oskaloosa. He was
in the Slavery lobby and invited me
to go to dinner. On our way we met
Major Smith Brookhart and he Joined
us. Major Brookhart is one of the
big men in the army circles of Iowa.
He is one of the big officers out at
Camp Dodge have known him for
many years, in fact sold him the
Washington County Press. | think it
was fifteen years ago he was a candi-
date for Judge in this district. The
convention was held here in Grinnell.
Hon Geo. Woodin was chairman of
the convention and some one sug-
gested the writer for secretary. That
was great convention and each
county in the district had candidate.
OF course it was fixed. Most of the
judicial conventions are fixea. Judges
Scott and Clements were renominated
and Judge Byron Preston of Oska.
loosa was nominated as the third
man Smith Brookhart was defeated
and so was David Stockman of Sigour-
neyl Somehow or other have always
liked Smith Brookhart. OF course
he is a fighter in politics and ] often
disagree with him. There Is some :
thing about him that commands re-
spect and admiration. He is always
"agin" some one and whoever it is he
tells 'em about it, Right now he
doesn't think much of Gov. Harding,
but he will when he becomes better
acquainted with him. Tom and the
Major had some heated arguments at
dinner. They used to belong to the
same faction of the Republican party
and had lot in common. But on
this occasion, Tom lambasted him
pretty hard. He tried to talk him
into supporting Gov. Harding. l
kept still and kept on eating at Toms
expense.
The Sixth district caucus was full
of pep and ginger. There were three
candidates for district committee
man. Our county presented Charley
Clark of Montezuma, !, and Jesper
wanted to put Jim Hunter across
oMnroe county presented Fred Hueb-
lner Fred had the inside track be-
cause he had been working for the
committeeship since the state con-
vention in Cedar Rapids some time
ago. He had alot of promises out
for support and you could not break
the chain. Keokuk county gave
Charley five votes. i think they
ought to have given him a bigger
vote. because we are In the same sen.
atorial district. am satisfied that
many OF the delegates from Keokuk
county would have liked to have
, thrown their strength to Charley
Clark, but their promises were oui

MAIL MEMORANDUM
RAISES BIG STORM.
London informed Forecast OF Re-
n ply Is Unsatisfactory.
ANSWER TO OLD NOTE
Officials Consider Note as Wholly
EVading Principle Involved and
Recognize Controversy as
Acute and Dangerous.

Washington. July 25.-The state de-
partment informed the British govern
ment that its memorandum on the
mails was wholly unsatisfactory TO the
United States in meeting the issue
raised over interference with the
mails
In acknowledging receipt of the
memorandum cabled from London the
state department again served notice
on Great Britain that it still awaited
"a reply to its note of May "a, which
has gone unanswered for two months.
Reply EVades Principle.
The memorandum, which was given
to rhe press by the state department,
Is considered as wholly evading tile
principle involved. The memorandum
confines itself almost exclusively to
discussion of two specific instances,
defends the censors for expediting
their work Of espionage, and adds that
the British government will always
be ready to explain in detail the
workings of the censorship" 49,.
State department officials declare
~ b. 4 r
they do not need any explanation Of
The workings of the censorship. They
have had sufficient complaints from
American firms whose confidential let
ters were riffied Of their contents to
know all they want to know about the
censors' activities. .... ...... ..
What the United States government
wants Great Britain to do is TO re-
Spond to the American contention
THAT genuine correspondence is under
conventional stipulation inviolable."
The memorandum made public here
was accepted as forecasting fat de-
NAL Of American demands In the
forthcoming reply to the note Of two
months ago. In response to a request
made several days ago for an immedi-
ate reply Great Britain explains that
her reply is withheld pending consul
tation with her allies. In her last com
munication Great Britain brought
France into the case by sending an
Identical note, although the United
States has had no quarrel with France
whatever over the malls.
To Ignore Protest?
The design of the British govern
ment in combining it's latest memoran.
dun to two specific cases is accepted
as an argument that the testimony
furnished by the United States is not
sufficient TO make case. Officials
read into the memorandum a decara-
ton of intention by Great Britain to
proceed with her censorship in spite
Of the American governments protest
Everything in the preliminary reply
was taken to indicate that Great Bri-
tain will discard The Hague rules as
the Declaration OF London has been
discarded.
The White House and state depart
ment recognize the mails controversy
as an acute and dangerous issue and
one which the United States must
contest with every means at its com
mand. Officials realize, however, that
the United States cannot act with
tinality so long as the British govern
ment evades the issue, and for that
reason every effort will be made to
force that government to make speci-
fic reply as to the principle involved.
