Association Tent at Camp Dodge Has
Been Scene of Great Activity
During Past Three
Weeks.
SERVICE rs RENDERED
Nearly Two Thousand Letters Writ.
ten on Stationery Furnished
to the Iowa Guards
men.

The Y. M. G. A., as told in The Gate
City recently, has established a tent
at camp Dodge and is working mong
the national guardsmen. The follow
ing bulletin telling of the work was
received from the headquarters Of
the state association:
The soldiers at Camp Dodge have
during the past three weeks greatly
enjoyed the privileges afforded in
the big Y. M. G. A. tent pitched in the
center of the camp. The tent has
been provided with writing tables
graphaphone, a piano, books, papers
and magazines, good drinking water,
and best Of all the friendly help Of
two or three live Y. M. @. A. secre-
taries.
The fact that nearly 1000 letters
have been written in the tent daily
shows that it has been appreciated by
the men. Stationery, pen, ink, ETC..
have been furnished free to all who
come. Post cards, note books, etc.,
have been sold to the men practically
at cost. thus shutting out the grafters
who sought to make money out Of the
camp.
The Y. M. C. A., with the experience
gained in the Spanish war. was pre-
pared to render this service not only
in Iowa. but in all the states where
the militia has been modified. At
the request of the war department in
Washington the Y. M. c. A. will pro-
vide similar facilities and give its
helpful ministry to the troops as they
go to the Mexican border. For the
sake of unity the work in Texas will
be carried on under the direction Of
the international committee but each
state will be asked to furnish one or
more association secretaries and in
addition to provide for one Of the Y.
M. c. A. buildings or centers on the
border
The Iowa state committee estimates
that it will cost to provide building
and equipment on the border and
maintain two secretaries at the front
for six months or longer about $500.
II each community or city having q
company Of soldiers in one Of the regi-
ments would provide $125, the entire
work would be financed. 1t is hoped
that in Keokuk and in other cities
this amount may be quickly forthcom-
ing by popular subscription in
amounts OF $1.00 and 5000 to $500.
While there Is probably little dam
ere concerned, there is the greatest
danger to the thousands of youth in
the military service from the moral
perils that abound on every side. The
lure Of temptation, the danger OF VIC
ious and unclean habits are ever pres
ent in an army camp. The Y. M. G.
A., by affording common center for
the men whose inclinations are decent
gives a moral protection the value OF
which cannot be estimated. Whole
some entertainments, religious SER
vices and kindly counsel constantly
remind the men Of home and encour-
age them to clean living.
Any citizen of Iowa who would
like to give financial aid to this splen-
did work which the Y. M. c. A. is
doing among the troops can do SO by
sending check to w. B. Coffin, treas
urer, Y. NJ. C. A. building, Des Moines,
Iowa.

Be Made With Reference to
Price Regulation.
(By Associated Press.)

Austin, Texas, Dec. 15.-According
to Peter Radford, present state ware.
house manager and past president Of
the State Farmers Union, the Nation.
al Farmers Union has taken no ac.
tion relative to the regulation Of the
price Of cotton for next season. That
organization. however, has appointed
a committee to study the cotton stu.
alton and this committee will decide
what is best to be done In the matter.
Mr.. Radford is Of the opinion that
there will be no more cheap cotton
and that next years crop will yield
between Is and 20 cents a pound. He
finds the farmers in the cotton belt Of
Texas have made plenty money this
season, but despite this fact they pro.
pose to diversity their crops next sea
son and thus maintain high prices for
cotton.

Declares AustrO-BulgarS Can't

Adriatic Must Be Under ItalO-

Rome, March 1.-Essad Pasha. who
has come to Rome brief visit to
discuss plans for the campaign to be
undertaken against the Austrian and
Bulgarian forces in Southern Albania,
said today that he is decidedly opti-
mistic regarding the final outcome of
the struggle in Albania.
THE partial occupation of Albania
by Austria should she attempt to con-
tinue it is bound to result in military
and moral disaster to her" he said.
''She will have an army operating in
a region which offers no resources
and where the army will be constant
ly threatened by the italian and Al
bantam forces, which from the formid-
able base of Avlona will undertake to
envelop the Austr.lns and to cut off
the retreat of General Koevess's
troops"
Essld Pasha concluded the inter-
view by saying that the Adriatic must
become an Italo-Albanian sea.
