Judging from the interest and en-
thusiasm manifested again last night
at the second supper served to the
workers of the Y. NJ. c. A. campaign
| for 500 new members. when SO of the
100 workers met and reported the
first days work, proves conclusiyely
the committees are determined that
the number shall be reached.
Preceding the supper the workers
sang the campaign song, and DR.. G.
S. Trump, of st. Johns Lutheran
church, led in prayer Prof. M. l..
Wachtel vice president and chairman
of the board of directors, then pre-
scented Hon. f. l.. Long. state treas
urer, who was an unexpected but
pleasant visitor to the supper. Mr.
Long spoke of the benefit TO be derly-
ed from association work and being
the men on their determination to
make the Y M. C. A. a lasting benefit
to Martinsburg. He also dwelt on the
high efficiency of manhood, and claim
ed that the man found in the Y. NJ.
C. A. is sure to be just a little better
than the one who preferred standing
on the street corners or found in
places not as good as an association
building. His talk was a good one,
and was thoroughly enjoyed by the
workers.
Tonight there will not be any ad-
dresses, as the workers believe the
suppers should be cut as short as pos
sible in order TO give the solicitors
more time in the evening to work.
Today the committees are working
by the card index system in a pro-
miscuous way, but tonight these cards
will all be recorded and then the
cards given TO the committees by
streets, thus having their work in
certain part of the city.
You may as we'll get ready to be
member. for if you do not decide to
join when seen by the first worker a
second and third are sure to visit you.

who bears that title. has opposed ev-
cry maor policy which the President
has offered since the congress CON
Yened last December.
The mere mechanics of the parlia-
mentary situation made it necessary
for him to put the matter into the
hands of the rules committee, be-
cause it is that committee which must
engineer the resolutions through the
maze of parliamentary obstacles.
Members of congress who are OPP
posed to the President are seeking to
raise petty iealousies between commit
tees by asserting that the President
should have sent the request to the
chairman of the committee on foreign
affairs. 1t is regarded as possible
that some of the men who fear TO
vote upon the resolutions will at
tempt to save their faces by trying TO
arouse animosity between the two
committees.
