PLAYED their ability in a meet held

inqs of Association.


Chicago, March 13-Y. NJ. c. A. sec
retaries in Russia have been compelled
TO retire before the German advance
toward Petrograd and many Of the
+ d Triangle huts have been destroyed,
according to cable dispatches received
by the national war work council here.
All secretaries and workers are how
ever reported to be safe.
A cablegram just received from Rus
STA reads:
"All front Y. NJ. c. A. huts captured
by Germans are destroyed. Secretaries
are safe. Association plans will be
pushed forward"
In later dispatch. Jerome Davis,
national secretary Of the Y. NJ. c. A.
for Russia, says:
Majority OF secretaries have gone
to Siberia Keeping representatives at
Moscow. Releasing secretaries desir-
ing to return to America"
Many OF the Y. NJ. C. A. workers are
remaining in Moscow. it is stated, to
await new opportunities for service.
Native Russian secretaries have as
sumed responsibility for carrying on
the work Of the Y. M. c. A. in Petro-
grad as long as that is possible.
Y. NJ. C. A. work has been in prog
ress at more than 100 centers in Rus
STA. The effort was undertaken at the
request Of the Russian government and
made such an impression that thru the
various changes the association has
continued it's work almost without in
terruption.
The work ranged from huts in the
front lines to building work in Petro-
grad, Moscow, other important Rus
sian centers and at the great concen-
tration camps. The association work
did so much to uphold the morale Of
the Russian troops and to emphasize
the fact that America, sister repub-
lie, Is in the war. that the Germans
started the bitterest kind OF propa-
ganda against it. Steps were taken to
meet this propaganda and the work
has continued amongst the soldiers
and has been abandoned only as they
withdrew in front Of the German ad-
vance.

IOWA STUDENTS IN CIVIL WAR
Enthusiasm Of State University Was
Typical of Iowa Colleges.

One Of the interesting features
OF the celebration Of foundation day at
the State University Of Iowa on Feb.
25 was the exhibition of a sword car
RED by the captain of a university
company during the civil war. During
that great conflict the university, like
: ie other colleges of Iowa, contributed
IS full share Of men to the union
armies. Especially did the patriotic
erdor Of the students display itself in
the spring Of 1864, when there went
forth from Washington an urgent call
for men who would enlist for one hun
iilers it will be all the easier to pro-
coed against other idlers lacking the
benefit OF pedigree. But the case is
specially interesting as an early prose-
cution under a form OF special lesisla-
ton already adopted in West Virginia,
Maryland and New Jersey, and appar-
entity destined to find increasing favor
ii other states. It's object is to make
everybody who is physically fit do some
kind of useful and lawful work for
the period Of the war: but if work may
be made compulsory in war may it not
by the same token be made compul-
DRY in peace?
It is this socialistic angle to such
tatutes that gives them a peculiar
Significance. The conscription Of the
drones in the human hive win be a
process OF interest. But the applica-
ton Of the selective principle will be
an important factor in the efficient
operation Of the laws. No doubt there
are forms Of work too hard" for So
ciety idlers who yet may be compe-
tent for occupations impossible to
slackers Of the hobo type.
Much wiH depend on fitting the job
to the man, and it is apparent that
the test Of the competency work laws
will lie in the discretion and tact of
the state boards appointed to admin
ijter them.-Ncw York World.

Here comes Billy Bunny" sang
the Weathercock on the I'D Red
Barn, and then all the barnyard folk
came out OF the cowshed, where they
had been talking to Mrs. Cow, and
said: Hello, little rabbait. why do
you miss the habit of calling on US
every day and hearing what we have
to say?" -
Now wasn't that a pretty way to
talk? Well, / think SO, for 1t
rhymes, don't you know, even IL my
typewriter did make a mistake and
forget to put 1t into verse.
And then. all Of sudden, Sic'em,
the old watch dog, saw the little rab-
bit, and he forgot all about his rheu-
matism, and his one tooth, and START
ed after Billy Bunny as hard as he
could. But, oh, dear me. He couldn't
run any faster than an old buggy
with three wheels and a broken hip,
and Of course the little rabbit was
out OF sight before Sic'em had crawl
ed through the Old Snake Fence.
"Ha, ha," laughed Professor Crow
from the top of the old pine tree.
Don't you know, Sic'em that you
can't run as fast as one-legged
beggar MANI" And then the old
crow gentleman began to laugh some
more, which made Sic'em dreadful
angry. But of course that didn' do
any good, for it never does any good
to get angry. anyway. even If no.

watch dog went home and gnawed a
bone and then went to sleep.
"Pm sure l don't know what to

fessor Crow flew away. There's
