Y. M, c. A. and the New Army.

Leaders Of Young Mems Christian association
work are alive to the problems Of the new army.
Experience at home and abroad within the last
few years have taught them the need of the serv-
Ice that Is supplied only through this agency.
Great massed groups Of young men, such as are
found in the huge modern military camps pre-
sent peculiar conditions to deal with which the
highest type Of special social organization is re-
CURED. The Red Cross looks after the sick and
injured soldiers, while the Young Mems Christian
association attends to the wants of those who are
sound and well, and each in its peculiar field finds
continuous need for its full resources.
Plans have definitely been laid by the mill
tary authorities Of the United States to sur
round the coming army with safeguards against
disease and vice beyond any hitherto known. Les
sons of the past and Of the great armies now in
the field in Europe are to be applied to the well
fare Of our young fighting men. but the effective
ness of this will depend on the means for meet
ing the social needs OF soldiers in camp Recre-
alton and amusement must not be left to hazard
nor the hours Of relaxation from camp routine 60
untitled or morals and morale break down to-
gether.
Cooperation between the military and the
Young Mems Christian association is we'll worked
out and their efforts perfectly co-ordnated and
under its presence influence for good will be
around the boys in camp all the time. Like the
Red Cross, this work must be paid for by public
subscription. It is another of the burdens war has
thrust upon us, all Of which will be met in order
and in full Parents too, will feel less Of anxiety
II they know their boys are being looked after
with such care as means good and this will be
supplied by the association workers.

Mothers Day.

While every day throughout all recorded time
is mothers, this is one set apart especially by
American men on which they will openly and
freely acknowledge what all OF them know, their
debt TO their mothers. 1t is singularly appropri-
ate. just at this time, for the mothers OF the
United States, in common with those of the older
countries, are called upon to make the supreme
sacrifice on the altar OF humanity. Man has al
ways sahcthed motherhood as voman's greatest
privilege; savage or civilized, he has paid defer
ence and homage to her through whose travail
the sons OF men live. 1t is mothers duty to nur-
ture and guide the young and her pride is when
she gives her baby to the world, man or woman,
ready to share in the work that all must do in
common, No plummet has ever sounded the depth
OF mother love, no mete has ever been set beyond
which her sacrifice could not go. No word Of
praise can add to mothers glory, but no man can
ever wander so far or fall so low that some time
he will not recall the warmth OF that bosom to
which he once was pressed, the light in the eyes
that bent over him, the tenderness Of the hand
that sustained his falterng steps or soothed his
early hurts. Mothers share in life is beyond all
understanding borne with infinite patience and
resignation, glorifed in itself and poorly compen-
stated by her sons deepest devotion. One day is
little enough to give to her as recognition for all
she gives on every other day.

Breaking the Wheat Corner"

Regardless Of its other aspects, the action Of
the government in fixing price at which May
wheat contracts" may be settled is Of real bene-
fit to all. 1t doesn't matter how the Shorts"
came to be caught in clutches Of the longs" for
they WERE and in the hands of the men who hold
control of the short supply Of wheat lay the power
to fix its price. 1t is suggested that even $40
per bushel might have been made the price be-
fore the squeeze was finished. The effect Of this
on consumers may be imagined by anybody
Having made this first move in the way of price
control, 1t remains to be seen how much farther
the government will 60. That extortionate prices
will not be permitted may be taken for granted
and 1t may equally be assumed that the normal
course Of trade will not be interrupted by the
federal government, so long as 1t is not unduly
interfered with by gamblers bent on turning pub
lie necessity to private profit. The action that
ended the wheat squeeze ought to be warn
ing to all who talk of "stabizing" prices by
deals in commodities that exist only on paper.
