Assumes II Is Done ..al.
II is the realization of this opportu.
nifty which has stimulated the commit
tee TO go out 80 confidently for sub.
seriptioRs, and it's justification of their
imagination and their insight that is
bringing IN the results. Mr.. Horn is
so we'll pleased with them that he be-
fieyes. an announcement will be made
Monday, showing Just what has been
done and what remains to do. ~.
SO Mr.. Horn assumed yesterday that
IL all had been done and went on to
talk about the future. *
In the first place, the project is not
to build another Y. NJ. @. A. across the
street from the enc already existing,
but to establish club for officers and
| enlisted men. 3n.ts n. T.. -
Uniform Admits Bearer 81. ..> e, ..m
There are no social or religious re.
quiremeuts. The uniform is the only
card Of admission needed. High Pri-
waite Jones may have been in very poor
| favor with his commanding officer last
& week. That makes no difference. II
he wants to enjoy. the comforts of the
club, all the more reason that he
should be given the chance. He's thu
fellow who has TO straighten himself
= out in the end. Nobody else can do
/, il for him. N.H& As..#It.es &..,1 49, Z,
y There are no admission fees or dues
Each man pays as he goes for what he
uses. It's an 10 carte dinner, If thu

as welcome az the corporal, but he car
expect to pay little more. e|
COnveniences and Amusements
In the basement will be lockers where
the men can keep their clothes. Or
the first floor, there will be Hobbies
reading rooms, billiard rooms, anC
writing rooms. ~. sr s.'.
An open air gymnasium will be built
with courts for volley-ball, hand ball
and other games. Soldiers don t neeC
gymnasium classes, but they welcome
games of strength, speed and skill
Football, baseball and other teams viii
be organized and trained. tsa@.
Upstairs will be dormitories. Foo
this the main building and the eour
opening on Alakea Street lend them
selves admirably. The court opening
on Beretania Street probably will BE-
rented until the demand for quarters
is greater than Is now anticipated.
/. There will be no restaurant. Their,
may be a coffee urn, where a man car
4 get hot cup aud a sandwich in
hurry in the morning, but the Arm,
and Navy Y. NJ, @. A. will not com
pete with local restaurants. 81 ..

smoke, but they must buy their smok e
outside. .s -.....r CSC.
) Not q Charity Affair ...
+ In addition to the central organiza
ton, there will be feeders establishe,
at Ramehameha, Pearl Harbor, Scho
field and Shafter. In course of time
u these branches may, develop strength
enough to require buildings and equip
ment of their own at the posts. Tn,
stronger they grow the more they viii
help the parent establishment. HMt
Expenses for the first year are es
timated AT $4,000 and income from al
sources at l4,000. The deficit will b.
assumed by the international Commit
tee and paid out of the income from
the endowment fund Of $t,443,0l3.7!
created for that very purpose.
AS nearly as possible, the institution
