In view, il will be necessary, admins

treaty to contain some consideration
on the part of the republic Of Colon,-
bia which will be adequate to warrant

discarded treaty was the absence OF

The point is emphasized that while
the sum to lie yaised is nine timse as
great as the usual total annual bud
get of all the Young Mems Christian
Associations of the United States for
their own work in this and other

ARMY Y.M.C.A. IS
AFTER HUGE FUND
NAION.WIDE DRIVE TO RAISE
TEIRTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
UNDER NAY-DOING MAGNIFI.
CENT WORK.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Plans for
the nationwide drive for the big fund
with which, through the Young Mems
Christian Association, the needs of
American soldiers and sailors will be
met, have been announced at the in
ternational headquarters of the Asso-
citation in this city. The drive will
begin tomorrow November III, and
will close November 10. The sum to
be raised is thirty-fve million dol
lars. Every state, city, town and RI
raj district will contribute to the
rsiaing of the fund, the amount of
which was fixed by a national con-
Ierence recently held in this city,
composed of representative men from
all parts of the United States.
Not only will the comforts and care
which the big fund will make posi-
BILE be extended to Americas fighting
men, but to the men of France and
to the other allied nations with whom
our troops will soon be fighting
shoulder to shoulder. Every penny
of the fund, it is announced, will be
used in caring for the needs of the
troops. iThe work will be done
through trained men which the Young
Mems hristian Association will pro-
vide.
Tie object of the fund is two-fold:
To provide comforts, care and recre-
alton to the men in camp and thus
to keep up the morale of Americas
fighting forces. This the military au-
thorities and those who have visited
the camps in France regard as Of
greatest Importance ITO the success
of American arms. The sudden
change from domestic to camp con-
ditions, the distance from home and
the necessary rigorous routine, OBJ
servers say, call for kind of care
that the army authorities are not in
position to provide.
General Pershing, in August, au-
thorized the statement that the great
est service America could Immediate
ly render was to extend the Young
Mems Christian Association work to
the soldiers of the French army, tired
and worn by their valiant and sue
cessful resistance to the repeated
waves of TeutOnic attacks. Antic1pat-
ing similar conditions among our own
troops, the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation began early in the war to
prepare to care for our soldiers and
sailors. The offer of service the AS
ISOLATION made was accepted gladly
bv the government authorities, and
hundreds of men trained in "Y"
work were soon in camp. Tehre are
now $500 of these men serving the
soldiers and sailors. Many
Y. M. c. A. men were called in the
draft and shouldered their rifles, since
no man is accepted for Y. NJ. c. A.
work unless he has been exempted by
the government or whose name is so
far down the list that he is not likely
to be called for some time.
With the hundreds OF thousands of
men the draft called to the colors the
M. C. A. was overwhelmed with,
work and responsibilities. From the
camps came cry for more help, not
only from the soldiers themselves, but
from the officers, who value the work !
the association renders. Accordingly. I,
q national conference was held, and
H. was decided that not cent Less
than S35,000,oO0 would adequately
