Or. JOHN R. MOTT
General Secretary Of the National
War Work Council Issues q State.
ment "To the Million Men,
Women and Children Of
America Who Contrib.
uted to the Y. NJ.
A. War Fund.

DR.. John X. Mott, General Secre-
tary Of the National War Work Coun-
Gil, who has made several visits to
the war zone In the interest Of the
soldiers and prisoners Of war said:
"The response to the appeal Of the
War Work Council for funds to meet
the needs OF our enlisted men at the
front went far beyond our expecta-
tions. We regard it, however, as al
most providential, because since the
$35,0OO,O0O budget was decided upon
events in the war zone have created
such increased needs that the $780,
0O0, 900 the people have given is none
too much.
Soldiers Show Gratitude
1.-TWO things are most gratifying
to us and should be to every one who
gave. One Of these is the receipt of
scores of letters from our soldier
boys telling how much they appre-
ciate what the Y. M. c. A. Is doing
for them and asking that we do not
fail to extend the same care and COM
forts to the hundreds of thousands of
other young men on their way to the
front. The other is the response that
came from the soldiers appeal which
we transmitted to the American peo-
pie, who utterly without respect tc
color, class, creed or financial cir
cumstancec, gave so generously OF
! their funds.
Another gratifying thing is the
confidence the people seem to have
in both the efficiency and the man.
agement of the Y. NJ. c. A. Instead
Of suggesting freedom of eYpendi.
ture of the sum the American people
have placed in our hands, the conf.
dence which the people have shown
in giving $4,000, 900 has made ever
more sober our already serious
thought. Every giver, whether it bt
of hundreds of thousands or merely
of cents, can rest assued that every
penny of the fund will be applied fol
our fighting men that will give then
a little touch of home in a strange
land, build them up in body and spir
it and make them even better fight
ers for our country, -.
Fortunately the Y. NJ. c. A. hal
always had the advice of some of tn,
best business men in its local work
1t is doubly fortunate in having hat
its budget made by some of America
best known business and financia
| leaders. The fact that the fund will
be administered by a finance com
minttee of which George w. Perkin
is chairman and composed of othe
men with both experience in financia
matters and knowledge of Y. NJ. C. A
work insures the most economical
application of the money contributed
We are preparing definite plan TO

in the camps both here and abroad
This will be announced soon"

Washington, November 27-Oficial
confirmation Of the news from Lon
don that German staff officers are in
Petrograd acting as military advisers
of the Lenine faction probably will be
followed promptly by action on the
part of the United States and the Al
lies definitely to place the Bolshev
Wiki regime in the list of Germany's
allies.
II the Germans are there all doubt
as to the purpose Of the Bolsheviki is
removed and the diplomats will be
obliged to withdraw to a neutral cap
ital, probably Stockholm, to await in
structions from their governments
Such development undoubtedly
would be followed by immediate can
collation. Of all orders now in process
Of execution for military and other
supplies for Russia both in the Unit
ed States and Japan. Several car
goes from the United States are now
on the way to Vladivostok but these
can be diverted by wireless orders,
and 1t has been understood that their
delivery would be contingent upon
evidence that they would not fall in
to unfriendly hands.
With the Germans openly advising
Lenine and his followers. it is as
sumed that efforts will be made to
carry Russia into the position of an
active ally of the Central Powers.
This might produce a most serious
situation by making available to
Germany the vast stores of food, oil
and cotton of Russia, and even
though the Teutons found it impossi-
BILE to convert the disorganized coun-
try into an active military ally, the
million or more German, Austrian
and Turkish prisoners held in Russia
would be freed for service with the
Teutonic armies.
Ever since the overturning of the
Kerensky government military strate'
gists here have been anticipating
such conditions as exists today il
Russia. This is one Of the prlncipa
problems with which the inter-alliet
war conference in Paris is expected
to deal. Without being bound by an!
special instructions, Colonel House
and his military adviser, Genera
Bliss, will cooperate with the repre-
sentatives of the Entente powers il
framing some policy to meet the sit
uation.
j Strong hope is felt that an attemp
by Lenine to turn Russia over to Ger
many will meet with powerful resist
ance at home, Any action decide,
upon by the Allies will be directe,
at the Petrograd Extremists and no
at the people Of Russia.
Reports that come from the Do
Cossacks country, that the Hetmar
General Kaldedines, may be the mas
ter of the situation through his con
troll of the food which is necessary t
maintain any military force in tn
. north OF Russia, have encourage
military experts here to believe tina
in spite of the aid of his German ad
visers, Lenine and his faction ma
be brought to terms.
