SAUk COUNTY
Y. ". c. 4. To
BE A REALITY

! A crowded house greeted the speak
ers at the Y. w. C. A. massmeeting
held in the M. E. church Sunday even
ing. Miss Lily Andrews, now county
secretary in Dodge county, told of
her work there among girls, and ex-
planned how the association works out
it's four-fold purpose. Through games,
athletics and the summer camp, girls
are developed physically. The educa-
tional work is done through vocational
work conferences, where the various
vocations open to young women are
presented by women who are nurses,
teachers, etc., through cooperation
with educational institutions; through
garden and canning clubs and junior
Red Cross organizations. Social life
and social service are looked after
through good-time parties and play
ground work done by the girls for
younger children. Most important of
all is the religious work, in which the
girls are taught how fundamental re-
ligion is in all phases of their work
and play There is one federated
church in a town in Dodge county,
where the young peoples work is en-
tireIy in charge of the Y M. G. A. and
the Y. w. G. A. One interesting phase
of the work at present is it's patriotic
league, which is being spread through
out the country A girl who wears
the button of the patriotic league has
pledged herself to do her daily work
better; to engage in some special line
of war service, such as Red Cross sew
ing, or garden work, and to strive to
live up to the highest ideals of char
acter and help others to do the same.
Employers Of girls everywhere are
glad to encourage the spreading Of
this league Miss Andrews expressed
her great satisfaction in having gone
into this county work for girls.
Miss Julia Davis then gave spirit
ed and thoroughly interesting address,
which was very closely followed by an
earnest audience, what the Y. w. G..
A. has done for the women and girls
Of any other county," said Miss Davis,
cit can do for Sank county girls. And
Cduh equity SII1S are JUST do WI LILY
as any other girls anywhere. What
the Y NJ c.. A. has done for boys in
Sank county is proven by the fact that
nearly every boy who was led to Christ
in this city recently was a member of
the county or city Y. M. G. A. Success
in life is measured not by what we
get out of it, but by what we give.
If we give the best chance possible
to our boys and girls, it is only fair.
There are 80 organized clubs in Sank
county for men and women, but ] do
not know of any permanent clubs for
girls.
"The work of the Y w. G. A. is not
rescue work, but it is protective work.
Why should we wait until girls have
committed crimes before we aid them?
They need help and they have right
to it. We must help them to help
themselves.
"The national Y. W. G. A. has three
distinct departments. There is the
student association in colleges, ETC.;
the city association in the larger cities,
and the county organization. The
latter work is only about ten years
old, but is fast becoming the largest
department. The main features of

The documents then show a note

This is followed by a receipt to
Feigenspan, executed by A. Brisbane,
acknowledging $260,000 to be used in
the purchase or Mr.. Munsey's news
paper in Washington by me-"
paid later. The documents then In
clude a statement by Feigenspan,
dated July 80, 1918, which says:
"Of Mutual Interest"
During the month Of June, 1917, to
the best of my recollection, the mat
ter of The Washington Times be-
came of mutual interest to Mr..
Arthur Brisbane and a number of
brewers. Mr.. Brisbane, as I have
been informed by him, had AN OPP
ton to purchase The Washington
Times from Mr.. Frank . A. Munsey
for sum which recall as being
100000. The terms Of the sale, as
/ recollect them, were that $250,0OO
was to be paid down, the balance to
be paid in installments Of $4,000
each every six months.

at various times advanced Mr.. Bris-
bane funds through the Growing
Circulation corporation, a corpora
ton which believe is either owned
or controlled by Mr.. Brisbane. The
aforesaid funds were advanced on
the dates and in the amounts as
hereinafter specified and in the fol-
lowing manner:
81 first drew a check or checks on
the account at the Federal Trust
company which stood in my name as
trustee. He has such check or
checks being payable to the order
of Federal Trust company, and the
Federal Trust company then in
turn would deliver to me a treas
urer's check of the Federal Trust
treasurer's checks / in turn deliver

Ready To Lend $5oo,00O.
A letter from Brisbane to Feigen-
span defining the terms Of the loan
is next given. Thisa previously has
been published by Mr.. Brisbane. 1t
sets forth that a number of brewers
Including Feigenspan were ready to
loan Brisbane 100000 for the pur-
chase and establishment of news
paper, that no interest was to be
charged, but that the loan was to
be returned if the paper was sold.
Mr.. Brisbane has stated that he de-
clined to accept the loan without in
terest.
His only security, Feigenspan de-
clares in his statement, is the $780,
900 note Of the Growing Circulation
corporation At the Close of the
statement George Ehret, Jr., declares
that he believes it to be true.

moderation what he pleased, could
count upoon the powerful support of
the brewers and the distillers and
what is. more, means of giving the
paper in question a circulation large
enough to attract advertisers.
Appeal To Germans.
add to this discreet appeal to
every German society in the country
for support by its members, and
we could easily count upon a ma
tional daily circulation of 100000
copies. This, to be sure, would be
a circulation among Germans and
German Americans, whereas what
is wanted is native American read
ers, but If this German circulation is
built up discreetly, as 1 suggest, the
man in the street will only be i'm
proved by numbers. A large cir
culation, widely advertised, would
impress the native American and
lead him to take the paper. And,
meanwhile a deficit would be chang
ed into a profit to be used for furth-
er propaganda"

and that the German al
lance was really a German Whis-

Mr.. Palmer's revelations Of these
documents shot .stir through con-
gross and official Washington which
probably has not been approached
since the declaration Of war. Since
his Harrisburg speech Saturday a
storm has ragged around the owner
ship of Mr.. Brisbane's Times. It
came to a climax yesterday with
Brisbane's published announcement
that he bought the paper with mon
ey borrowed from brewers, which
was followed today by the alien
custodian's revelations
soon after the passage Of the SEN
ate's resolution.
The senate judiciary committee
will meet Monday to consider the
affair.

cancelled the charter Of the Ger
man Alliance, and then passes to the
two letters by Konta to support his
charge in his Harrisburg speech that
the organized liquor traffic has
been pro- German in it's sympathies"
and that "these great interests
actually have been willing to finance
great newspapers for the purpose of
spreading German propaganda and
sentiments in this country"
Konta's letter to Tauscher includes
some expressions Of doubtful COM
plimentary nature as to Bernard
Dernberg's value as a German aren't
here, but informs Tauscher that at
Dernberg's request he has canvass
ed the prospects of buying a news
paper.
The letter to Dernberg, written
March 81. 1915, goes into the SUBJ
ject of "the purchase and publica-
ton of a daily newspaper in this
country in the interests Of Ger
many and the German government"
It proceeds to discuss various New
York newspapers from the point Of
their success, proceeding from that
to make deductions on the likelihood
of their sale.
Five Eliminated. ~
The Herald, Telegram, Tribune
and World, Konta put out Of the
reckoning at the outset because
they were part of great fortunes,
and The Times, which he reckoned
as very prosperous and not for SALE.

The sale Of The Mail already has
resulted in indictments charging

Whether The Globe could be

"a matter for cautious inquiry"

At this point Konta5 took up the
relation Of the prohibition agitation
to the question in hand and wrote:

German commander-in-chief alludes
to the recent Austrian peace offer,
saying that it does not involve an in

The field marshal adds that readt-

army's duty, he says, to continue the
