juvenile delinquents toeing the marx.
AS a pilot on frivolous fiivver, the

a nice new one, with shinola swabbed
over the decks, and then elected Miss
Lelan Chancey her chief navigation
officer. The craft moved through the
city streets with glee yesterday.
But George Dudley, deputy sheriff

The news dispatches tell us that
all Y. M. G. A. War Secretaries in
France, who are of draft age must
enlist, or they will be returned to
this country. 1t is probable that the
mandate to enlist or get out will be
applied to all departments of the Y.
M. C. A. work It is the only way
that great organization will be able
to maintain the confidence and re-
spect of the people. AS soon as the
draft age was raised a large number
who had never thought of the Y. NJ.
C. A. work before, felt a frenzied
desire to get within its protecting
shelter, so that they might not be
called to real service. If the Y. NJ.
c. A. were to allow itself to be
made the refuge of the Stacker and
the slickcr it would necessarily
greatly impair its influence, and it
is pretty certain this will not be per-
mitted. The work of the Y. NJ. c.
A. can be done effectively by men be-
yond the draft age.
