YIN, C, A, Will ERECT
TWO new BUILDINGS
Camp Secretary Tomlinson
Secures Endorsement of Sites
from Major General Clement.
TomIinson

Due to the success of the $35,000,O00
campaign of the Army Y. M. c. A,
Camp Hancock is to have two new Y.
M c. A. buildings. This matter was
determined at a conference III Atlanta
recently, at which the administration
staff officers were in consultation with
the officials of the southeastern de-
partment. S. A. Ackley, executive sec
rotary of the southeastern department,
who has jurisdiction over the aSSOcla-
ton activities at Camp Hancock, has
endorsed the project and the work of
construction will be rushed with all
possible speed.
Major General Clement has giver,
his approval to the erection of the two
buildings and has endorsed the sites
selected Due to the reorganization Of
the division, one Y. M. c. A. building
is unable to accommodate the
men in brigade. The original plan
of the Y. NJ. c. A. was to have each
building cater to the needs of the men
in a brigade of 5000 men, but he new
order of things necessitates additional
facilities.
Building for 109th r. A.
For some time the 109th Field Artil-
lery and Ammunition Train have been
supplied by Building No 80, which is
in reality a tent The present cold
spell has made tent work almost i'm
possible, for stoves are unable to throw
81 y icient heat to make the tent COM
fortable-the stretch of canvass being
40x60 in size. Secretary Hausmann
and his assistants, who have done ex-
cellent work in the tent, are overjoyed
at the decision to erect a building and
are anticipating it with great pleas
ure.
Building No. 81.
All Y. M. c. A. buildings are num-

bered consecutively and Building NO.
81 will be the official designation OF
the hut to be erected to serve the 111th
Infantry and the Machine Gun Battal-
ions. The hut will be situated on the
east side of the road, leading from the
Wrightsboro road to Pennsylvania
Avenue, and viii be between the two
units, near the officers quarters The
56th Brigade is now served by Build
ing No &C. but with the completion OF
No. 81, the 112th Infantry will have a
building to itself, while the 111th and
the Machine Gun Battalions will share
the new building. The two buildings
will serve a total of about 10000 men.
Work Will BE Rushed.
Although no definite time can be set
for the completion of the buildings, it
is the intention of Camp Secretary
Tomiinson to push the work with ain
speed. All the details cannot be an
nounced at this time, but number of
innovations are being planned for the
new buildings which will add to the
comfort and convenience of the men

Voices of Humanity.

You catch, with me, the voices of
humanity that are in the air. They
grow daily more audible, more articu-
late, more persuasive, and they come
from the hearts of men everywhere
in vindictive action of any kind; that
no nation or people shall be robbed or
punished because the irresponsible
rulers OF a single country have them
selves done deep and abominable
wrong. 1t is this thought that has
been expressed in the formula, mo
lamentations, no contributions, no punt
tive indemnities."

spokesmen Of the Peonle.

we are the spokesman Or the Amer
lean people and they have right to
know whether their purpose is ours.
They desire peace by the overcoming
of evil, by the defeat once for all OF
the sinister forces that Interrupt peace
and render it impossible and they wish
to know how closely our thought runs
with theirs and what action we pro-
pose. They are impatient with those
who desire peace by any sort Of com
promiSe-deeply and Indignantly i'm
patient-but they would be equally i'm
patient with us if we do not make it
plain to them what our detectives are
and what we are planning for in seek
ing to make conquest of peace by arms.
| believe that | speak for them when
| say two things; First, that this in
tolerable thing of which the masters of
Germany have shown us the ugly face,
this menace of combined intrigue and
force which we now see so clearly as
the German power, thing without
conscience or honor or capacity for
covenanted peace, must be crushed
and, if it be not utterly brought to an
end, at least shut out from the friendly
intercourse of the nations; and, sec
ond, that when this thing and it's pow
er are indeed defeated an dthe time
comes that we can discuss peace
when the German people have spokes-
men whose word we can believe and
when those spokesman are ready in the
name of their people to accept the
common judgment of the nations as to
what shall henceforth be the bases OF
law and of covenant for the life of the
world-we shall be willing and glad to
pay the full price for peace, and pay
it ungrudgingly. We know what that
price win be. 1t will be full, impair
tial justice-justice done at every point
and to every nation that the final set
Element must affect our enemies as
we'll as our friends.
Emancipation from Fear.
We intend no wrong against the
German empire no interference with
her internal affairs. We should deem
either the one or the other absolutely
unjustifiable, absolutely contrary to the
principles we have professed to live b.
and to hold most sacred throughout
our life as a nation.
The people of Germany are being
told by the men whom they now per-
NIT to deceive them and to act as their
masters th2t they are fighting for thu
very life and existence of their cur =
pire, a war of desperate self-defense
against deliberate aggression. Moth
ing could be more grossly or Wantonly
, false, and we must seek by the utmost
openneSS and candor as to our real
aims to convince them of it's falseness
We are in fact fighting for their eman =
cipation from fear along with our own
from the fear as well as from the
fact OF unjust attack by neighbors or
rivals or schemers after word empire
No one is threatening the existence or
the independence of the peaceful enter
prise of the German empire.
