FIFTEEN THOUSAND
 WANTED BY ARMY ' FROM THE SOUTHWEST
Fl Paso Man Tells In Letter of The Needs of The Army Y And of The First Fund of $3,O00,0O0 Needed For Its Work.
May Sth, 1917.

! oAhs Dear Sir:
 Fifteen thousand dollars is not a
 large sum for the people of these
 southwestern states to raise for the
 war work" of the Y. M. c. A, but it
 will require strong and united effort.
 and the earnest cooperation of the
 press, to raise that amount before June 1st. The amount-S15, ,000-is the share of this section in the $3,00OOOv fund which the War Work Council of the Y. M c. A. of the United States mas set out to raise in the month Of May for this special work.
 Those of us who have been in close touch with the military movements of the last year on the bordet have been deeply impressed with the importance of the Y NJ. C. A. work in the army camps. When 10000 men were con- Icentrated in the border army posts and temporary camps last summer, the problem of caring for these mems wants in their leisure time instantly became one of such importance as to command the attention of the leaders in the Y. M. c. A. movement, both the regular officials of the general committees and the public-spirited lay men outside, who furnish funds and personal aid when convinced of the necessity of enlarged support. In very short time after the great move ment of troops to the border began, these men had mobilized a special corps of trained secretaries and work CTS, and had raised funds for builG- ings. Scores of temporary but we'll built structures were erected and fur nished, and kept supplied with mate rial for reading, writing and enter tainment.
 In its initial stages this work was partly financed by the local fields, but the national committee soon took over the work, and it was carried on eff ciently without entailing additional burdens on the local associations, which were already carrying their share.
 Now, we face the problem of car ing for the needs of millions of our boys and young men in the mobiliza- tion camps for this country, and in all probability, on European soil. The army not only welcomes the Y. M. c. A. in barracks, camps and field, but it's aid as almost essential to maintaining the troops in best condi- ton, and sustaining their morale. The Y. NJ. C. A. will be "Home" to these men. The Y. NJ. c. A secretaries, trained in work with men, trained in their needs, will keep up the human

 NEW YORK. May 19-The dull ness of today's short trading ses- sion was in striking contrast to the activity of the two preceding sessions. Momentous overnight events. such as the Presidents call to arms and the decision of the government to dis patch an expeditionary force to France had a sobering effect upon speculative sentiment.
 Prices were little changed at the opening apart from another severe break in Denver and Rio Grande pre- ferred. Other rails were firm to strong.
 War shares were better by one to two points. United States steel came within a fraction of it's recent maxi mum and the more distinctive equip ments and munitions recovered one to two points.
 A very slight decrease of reserves was shown in the actual condition of the banks. with a loan expansion of s37,537.000 and an increase of about S44,O00000 in demand deposits.
 Bonds were heavy, Denver refund ing 5's breaking three points and Un- ion Pacific 4's. IF. United States registered 4s were up one-fourth per cent on call during the week, but other governments were one-half to one per cent lower.

This letter is mere ly to introduce the subject to you. so that you may be informed when the campaign begins.
