Importance of Y. M. C. A. Work Only Second to That
 of Enlistment AMERICAN MANHOOD MUST BE KEPT PURE Y. M. c. A. the Recognized Agency of Government in Safeguarding Young
 Men Against Sin

The final day of the campaign
 to raise s25.OOO to aid in financing
 the army work of the Young Mems
 Christian association opens this
 morning and the teams are work
 ing with a renewed determination
 to get the full amount. They reaI-
 ize they have a hard task before
 them which can be accomplished
 only with the geenrous support of
 the citizens. Eighteen thousand
 five hundred dollars has been sub
 scribed and se5OO is to be secured
 by l o'clock today to make the
 total amount asked for.
 The importance of the work of the Y M. c. A. is second only to the enlistment of the army. Its value is recognized by the President, all army officers, the state and United States officials, the ministry and every fair-minded citizen. It is the opinion that no more important task could be undertaken than to safeguard the young men who will make up the
 
 of sin and that every loyal American desires that the United States soldiers be not only the best in this great war but that there shall be no defeat or weakness due to lack of physical ability to withstand the stress and strain of war. America must not only have men who know how to fight with guns but with manhood of the cleanest type. The association Is the recognized agency of the government for this important un- dertaking, and by experience, uy train- ing, by programme and by it's tactful handling of this great work it has been successful in a marked degree.
 The question that thrusts itself
 on every hand is this; Hundreds of
 young men will give their lives
 for their country, what will "you"
 give to safeguard them against
 temptation and keep them strong
 and pure for the best seryices
 The general chairman of this movement division is w. H. Stockhom. the leader of the navy section is J. W. Donnelly and the director of the aviation corps is E. H. Andrews-au busy men with large responsibilities, yet they are taking their time and money together with over a hundred others just as prominent to make this campaign a success.
 The best encouragement one can give them is liberal and hearty response to their appeal. The final meeting will be held at the Hillman hotel at o'clock today and the reports of the teams will tell the tale. It will be good report and indications that if hard work will secure the $6000 needed 1t will be in hand by this hour.
