llAeuOtu luElu anu lne ldISSI Dou9 UT representative Americans to whom they reported to call for such a large sum? They are the very facts and considerations which will lead the peO- pie of our country, both rich and poor, regardless of section or party. to as- sOciate their wealth and poverty, in providing the amount needed. Why then is the s100,000,OOO and more re- quired? Because the number of men called to the colOrs in the American army has enormously increased since the campaign of last November and
 will continue to increase. General CrCwder insists that before the com ing winter is over we should have in the army fully 3,O00.O00 men. Presi- dent Wilson wisely questions whether we shall let our minds stop even at 5,000,0O0 should our great cause re- qrfre larger numbers from us. The association must enlarge it's plans to keep pace with the streams of men pouring into camps and cantonments whatever the numbers prove to be. Because the American navy mist re- oeive far larger attention on our part Since the United States entered the war, the personnel of the navy has grown from about 10000 to over 400,- 900 and is advancing by leaps and bounds. Whereas when we entered the war we had less than 200 ships in commission. by the end of this year there will be nearly 2000 On our navy depends getting our army over seas and maintaining it. We speak of the dangers of the soldiers in the front line trenches and their need or our minitry. We do we'll to remem- Der that all our sailors in European waters are also in front line trenches and likewise need our help. Because this war is not a war Of armies and navies alone but of entire peoples. Be corse the center of gravity, yes, the center of the heart interest of the American cause and people has shifted within the year to the other side of the Atlantic. Because the Young Mems Christian association is expect ed to accompany or stand by the American soldiers from the time they leave their home town until the end of the war they return. Because of the ministry of the association of the men overseas is so comprehensive. It includes vastly more thaa we at home associate in our thinking with the let ters Y. M. c. A. In France among our soldiers and sailors we have the re- sponsibility of representing the Ameri- can home, the American school, and college, the American library. the American lecture platform and all that is best in the American stage, the best features of American club life, the American store, and above all, many of the aspects of the American chur- ches. In a word, we seek to repro duce all that is best in American lie. What a responsibility What trusti That it may be truly performed means the wise use of many millions of money. Because military authorities maintain that the most important fac tor in the war is the morale of the men and that such a practical minis try to the spirit essential to maintain ing morale. Because in no other way can we do more to help the French army and navy-because of the sue cess which has attended the begin ming of similar work on behalf of the Italian army-because of inevitable anu CAAoAo NhC AhAA0 CA oN least s100,00O,000 must be secured. If s1OO, 100000 or S110,000,000 or $780, 900, ,OO0 seems like a large amount of money to expend on the American and allied armies and nayies. let us remem- Der that before America entered the war the American people were spend ing over S1O,OO0,OO annually through the Young Mems Christian association in serving less than 100000 men and boys, whereas in this war we are called upon to serve 20.000,000 men os the American and allied forces and in the prison camps.
