CUSTER @Y- TROUBLES.
Policy OF Straight-Lacedness Has
Allenated May From Huts.

The refusal OF Camp Secretary
Parker of the Camp Custer Y. NJ. c. A.
to allow the use OF the auditorium for
a dance when request was made for
il by the commandant has caused a
great deal OF criticism OF the man
agement of the Y. NJ. c. A. in Camp
Custer
Secretary Parker says that he acl-
ed upon the orders given him by the
national board of the Y. NJ. c. A. To
whom he says the request OF the com
mandant was referred by wire.
There appears TO be considerable dis
sension among the Y officials at the
camp 9nd there seems to be arising
liberal" and conservative ele-
ment. Commenting upon the matter
the correspondent of the Detroit Free
Free Press says:
Shortly after camp opened a meet
ing was held in one OF the huts, at
the close of which those of the aud
ience "who wished 10 live Christian
life" were asked to stand. Some arose
but the rest walked out.
THAT was the beginning and since
then feeling has been growing that
the religious policy OF the Y did not
fit into the lives of the great mass Of
soldiers
Neither was all harmonious among
the Y officials. An attempt was made
to prevent existing discord from be
coming public, but it seeped out. DR.
o. ID. Foster, religious director.
Congregationalist minister, favored
more liberal system OF religion.
"Dr Foster and many of the hut
secretaries saw the dwindling attend
ances at evangelistic services. They
had put their best efforts into the
work and were convinced that with
sane doctrine they could win many
men To a better mode of life without
crowding down their throats the tenets
Of this or that denomination.
