Looked for Excuses.

Dr.. White had for his subject, Did
the Y. M. c. A. Fail In France" BY
way of introduction Mr.. Stratton, who
was presented by Dr.. L. Il. George,
who presided over the meeting, called
attention that, exclusive of the Park
field men, who were regular and well
come visitors to the "Y," II had enter
tained during the period of the war
more than 10000 soldiers passing
through Memphis. In answer to the
charge that the "Y" workers were
never at the front, Mr.. Stratton pre-
scented the Rev. +. X. Sewell, a Meth
odist minister from Wynne, Ark, who
had just left a hospital after having his
leg shattered by German shrapnel.
The type Of men most frequently crit
were Xix the MAJ he called on a few
days ago for a contribution and who
refused because the organization had
not made good. Several years ago."
he said, Il called on this same man for
q contribution and his criticism was
that the "" furnished porcelain bath
tubs for rich young men earning SIS a
week. What such men are looking for
he concluded, is al excuse and one viii
serve as well as another"
DIR. White began by saying that the
most flattering thing that could be said
about the Y. NJ. c. A. was that 1t was
big enough to criticize. He said the
men In France overlooked small things.
II an organization, he said, was not big
enough to look to and expect big
things from the men were not disap-
pointed, but when the Y. NJ. c. A. failed
them they felt that something had gone
wrong.

EYES OF POLAND ON HER OLD EMPIRE
CONFESSES
NEW ROBBERY
Held for the Grand Jury
Theatre Is Entered by
Burglar

Joseph s. Karmonski, eighteen
years old, of Woodbridge, who was
yesterday taken into custody by the
Woodbridge police and turned over to
Detective Long, who brought him to
this city on a burglary charge, was
arraigned before Recorder Pickersgill
this morning and confessed that he
had stolen the clothing from the store
of Deiches & Abrahamer at 400 State
street on New Years night. Harmon
ski, otherwise known as the "Squir-
rel" because of his talent in the art
of climbing, vas held to await the
action of the grand jury.
Another Robbery
The Royal heatre was entered
some time late last night or early this
morning and 500 in cash stolen from
the box office, the thief playing a
"hfty-fifty" game, however. and leav-
ing almost as much as he took. En-
trance to the box office was gained
by prying open the door which did
not offer much resistance. The thief
rifled the cash drawer but failed to
take all the money.
Detective Sergeant Lawrence A.
Long investigated the case this morn
ing but the thief left no clue which
might lead to an arrest. The fact
that the thief left some OF the money
would indicate that instead of being
intent Upon a Cleanup" lie was in
need of a certain amount and upon
getting that was satisfied to leave the
rest alone.

new TELEGRAPH RATES

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany hat there has been
a new rate made for night messages
which went into effect on January /.
The rates are greatly reduced and it is
for the accommodation of the public
that the company changed the rates.
These night message rates are de-
signed to mridge the gap between the
short day messages and the lengthy
night letters. and provide for short
overnight communications at the
lowest possible cost.
In accordance with the new rates
the minimum charge for ten-word
messages is twenty cents. A night
message of moderate length can be
sent some distance for from wenty
five to thirty-five cents.
II is hoped by the local Office that
the people here will max use of these
messages so that IL will be worth
while to keep the office open till IL
o'clock at night, as has hitherto been
the custom.
