$4,000 NEEDED
BY Y. N. c. 4. FOR
BUILDING HERE
Business Men Are Asked to
Make Up Deficit,

The Y. NJ. c. A. needs 10000 to
finish and furnish It's building here and
business men of the city are being
asked, in letters, mailed today and yes
terday, to subscribe the amount The
deficit is the result OF the closing OF
the building fund campaign last year
before the amount estimated to be nee
fssary was subscribed and to the in
creased cost OF materials.
Subscriptions Apportioned.
The campaign was for 100000. Of
(which $250,00O was for the building
and site and $4,000 for the furniture
and eq1pment The campaign closed
about $4,000 short and 1t was decided
TO defer the raising OF money for fur
niture and equipment until the build
ing was nearly completed. II is now
time to order the equipment II il is to
be here by the time the building is
ready, and TO do that pledges TO the
amount OF 10000 must Immediately be
obtained
This amount must be raised by the
business men who can afford it. and
not by general campaign, as the wage
earners and saaried people are already
fully obligated, is the decision OF the
board Of directors OF the Y, M. {. A,
after conference with the county coun-
Gil of defense and the Chamber OF
Commerce.
The amount needed has been appor-
toned among the business men who, in
the estimation OF the board can afford
10 help, and each one notified OF his
quota. Robert Watchorn, a non-resi.
dent. made the first subscription OF
5000
Costs Kept Down.
In securing the first pledges the
board of directors was obligated to
complete the building free of debt. Al
though every effort has been used to
keep down costs and in many instances
material has been procured at actual
wholesale cost, a deficit Of about $40,
O00 due to unavoidable delays and i'm
mense increases in labor and materials
remains to he paid, in addition TO the
$4,000 for furniture and equipment.
An estimate OF the financial require
ments for the Y. NJ c. A., in 1918

rectors. 1t shows that the total amount
spent for lots, building, etc, is $685.

81 cannot believe that hundreds of
thousands who have read the papers
in the last week do not share my
feelings. What | have to reproach
the press for is not so much it's
ignorance, its philistinism, its lack
of taste, its arrogance and its rude
ness as its fundamental falsity, in
justice. wickedness anl hatefulness.
"No single voice is raised which
deplores the tragic fate of Belgium,
calls her misfortune undeserved, con-
cedes her any good qualities, pleads
for mildness or charity; does not
hold her whole population RESPONSE
BILE for the excesses of individuals
and does not urge that she be dis

No voice asks for serious consid-
Grafton of the question whether the
invasion of Belgium was justifable,
unavoidable, or even advantageous.
No; for every newspaper writer as
sumes without proof that there was

who wished to surrender and sought
to Chamber out of the morass were
pushed back again at the bayonet's
point, until they were suffocated and
drowned. This was done under or
ders. Quarter was not to be given.
One could not make use at home of
so many prisoners. For days and
nights the cries of the drowning
were heard, so piercing that they
sounded above the. thunder of the
cannon, and many soldier who was
obliged to listen to this clamor of
desperation lost his reason.

this is true. But everybody says it
really happened and no one has a
word of regret for it. On the con-
trary, every one approves it and says
it was the only proper thing to do"
New-York tribune., 1918-08-18

Even if did not read the foreign
papers, and SO could not form a judg-
ment by contrast and comparison, I
should still recognize from the
speech of the German newspapers
that our degradation is the deepest
of all. certainly do not forget that
we are in a state of siege, and that
every criticism and every expression
of opinion not inspired by the gov
eminent is suppressed with draconic
severity. But the newspapers, even
IN Germany, could not be compelled
to below. They could be silent in
stead of joining in melting hate.

Attempt to Debauch
The Whole World

The German policy of first de-
bauching it's own press and then
using it to debauch the press of the
enemy and neutral world is set forth
by DR.. Muehlon with many incisive
particulars. What is beyond the skill
of the diplomatic liars is left to the
skill of the Journalistic liars, or the
go lden ASS" as he calls them.
He writes, by way Of introduction
to this subject, that
1.-THE Germans try to account for
their unpopularity by explaining that
they have not sufficiently debauched
the foreign press. Mark the word
debauched-not enlightened, or edu-
Gated. The German conception of the
rest of the world is very simple, and
our world politics is conducted on
this same simple basis"
! The press Of the Fatherland
Muehlon claims is the backbone of
it's moral and mental destruction; to
liken it to "loathsome reptile" and
"hideous leper" is not too strong
for him. He says the press in Ger
many is as unanimous as it claims
to be, and then accuses it of funda-
mental falsity, injustice, wickedness
and hatefulness. Americans should
read all that Muehlon has to say
about the press Of his country.
"The mania Of the German press
has become revolving One must
avoid many columns Of its contents
as he avoids mud puddles. I cast a
rapid glance Of disgust at some news
papers, like one who notices each day
that loathsome reptile, which he
cannot kill, Is still in tho same place.
Yes, the prcgs is really unanimous.
as It boasts Of being. May the Ger
man people never suffer under the ac-
cusation that what the world hears
these days is the free speech OF tho
people Though it's own spokesman!
The fate Of Germany would be fright

tory, should not be more magnani-
nous than tho German press IL.
