COMMUNICATION FROM
PROF. LAUTERBACH

In the course of letter from Prof.

ten OF the Y. NJ c. A.. under date of
July 18th. he says:
inspection is over and at last /
have few minutes to write some
long promised letters. The past week
has been an awful drag on all of the
boys here. The process of elimina-
tion has begun and thirty men are to
be sent home next week. The nervous
tension has been something fierce /
think l am still in the running, but
where l shall land cannot even
guess.
One good thing has come to pass.
The war department has ruled that
guardsmen in the federal service shall
receive students pay. which is one
hundred dollars month We We're
paid in full yesterday. Preparations
for war continue on larger scale
than ever. Men and camp materials
are arriving here every day count
ed ffty-two car loads of lumber on the
railroad tracks here the other day;
all OF which is TO 20 into construction
work here. newspaper article
have just been reading says the Unit
ed States has ordered forty millions
OF yards OF wooden cloth from New
England looms: fifty millions OF yards
of khoki and ninesyhve millions OF
yards of absorbent cotton. TO say
nothing of several millions OF pairs OF
shoes and other merchandise in pro-
portion No one can comprehend the
cnormiiy of this war and the tremend-
our preparations this country is max
ing to enter IT,"
Prof. I.auterbach inelosed in his let
ter a clipping from the Kansas City
Star N which some detail is given of
the work the Y. VI. c. a is doing and
preparing TO do among the soldier
boys at Fort Riley and other military
concentration camps OF the country.
After referring to the enterprises Of
this organization on the battle front
in Europe for the last three years and
denomination il "A worldwide agency
for the relief of suffering" il says:
"Russsa has ts,st asked the Y. NJ C.
A. 10 come among its troops. and
sherman Eddy and corps of assist
ants is going there 10 organize the
work. Every country at war. except
Turkey. has recognized the Y. NJ. c.
A. and its field secretaries are every
where that soldiers concentrate, even
in the prison camps.
when America went into the war
the Y. NJ c. A. started TO collect
three millions OF dollars for it's work
among our own soldiers 1t got that
much quickly; the Rockefeller found
alton giving 100000. the United
States S;ei corporation $4,000 and
Billy Sunday $4,000. Then it an
nounced that 1t would 20 after an
other million and it will soon have
that.
With this money tue Y. NJ c. A.
will follow the American flag and the
American boy wherever they so. 1t
will work hard to help the latter
physically. mentally. morally and
spiritually and help to send him back
home clean after the war"

mite outline OF a practicable scheme
for adequate and economical home de
fense. Many minor details would
have TO be worked out in different
ways TO meet the varying conditions
in the several counties of the state.
but this can best be left entirely to
the wise cooperation of the respect
i've mayors and boards OF commission
ers, with the sherirs and other peace
officers. Some expense might be cast
upon the counties; as in case Of pro.
tracted periods OF service such men
would have to be cared for and per
haps paid. II so, this is n burden
which the counties would have TO as
sumo. as unfortunately there is no
state fund available for such purpose.
"In case such organization should
be created win. upon being informed
OF the fact. grant the necessary Ii.
cense authorizing them to drill and
parade under arms. i assure you also
of the hearty cooperation OF the Ad-
jutant General. In SO far as the exi.
gencies of the present military situa-
tion will permit. No doubt men can
be found in each community who by
native ability and military experience
are qualified to act as drill masters
and officers and II is impossible to
doubt that sufficient men Of patriot
ism and courage can be found to or.
ganize and man such companies for
the defense of their own homes.
Il trust. therefore. that may hear
at an early date of your favorable ac-
tion upon this request. or the Adcp-
tion OF \ system essentially similar
to the one outlined"

costs added to the values of merchandise Hence, we
