'. M. C. A. TO RAISE
 ,O0O, ,OOO TO CARRY OUT NEW CAMP WORK
Present Fund Inadequate To Keep up Work in U. s. and
 At Camps in Europe

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-An announce nent made here at the headquarters of the Y NJ. C. A. by the war council of the association today, was to the effect that a nationwide campaign to raise $35,000,000 the amount neces- sary to carry on the extended wor planned for the coming year both among the forces of the United States in training here and abroad and also among the troops of Russia, France and Italy will be started soon.
 Five millions were raised last Ap- Til, but it was shown that this sum has proved inadequate to meet con ditions arising from the fact that ar my mobilization in this country has gone forward more rapidly than had been expected.
 It was expected that only about a million men would be called out by Dec. 91." the announcement says. Tt was not dreamed that nearly double that number would be assembled nor that quarter of million or more troops would be on foreign soil within short time. Instead of 1000 secre- taries. small army of 2,500 had to be provided to adequately care for the soldiers and instead of 200 build ings costing s3,O00 each the call came for 800 at a cost of from s5,000 to sS,- 900; instead of a per capita cost of 8 for a million men until Dec 31, ac- tual experience called for s5 per cap ita for two million men"
 It has been decided that s11,000, 900 will be required for troops in this country until next July and s12,000,- GOO for troops in action abroad, it be- ing estimated that there will be 3,200,, 900 American fighting men to care for.
 For raising the s35,000,O00 wanted in this country, the campaign has been laid out in accordance with the mili- tary departments. The quota for the eastern department is s15,500,000.
 The northeastern department is to ask for $3,500; the southeastern for s1.500000; the central for s12,5O0,- 900; western for s1,250,000 and the southern department for s750,00O.

Writing to W. w. Clark, W. P. Benn an oldtimer of the Interior, tells of a few things that are happening on the Outside, but he devotes the greater part of his letter to telling how much better he would like to be back in the Interior
 In part, he says, If I can dispose Of the little ranch have here this fall or winter, I expect to return to Fair banks in the spring. The great Out side may look good to many in Fair banks. but have found it pretty hard sledding here. as anyone else will who tries it. Peaches and cream are all o. K. to sing about, but they don't stick to the ribs like beans, or keep your back warm and pay the heavy taxes"
 MT. Benn then goes on to tell that many families will have hard sledding out there this winter, notwithstanding the fact that conditions are consider ably better than a year ago-News- Miner.
