Daniels Defends War
Work of the Y. M. c. A,

Detroit, Nov. 24.-The millions of
young Americans in uniform served
and influenced by the Y. M. e. A.
during the war will mold the future
of the nation, and the Organization
which affords the best welcome and
best aid to these coming arbiters of
national destiny in peace will not
only be serving the men but will also
be serving mankind" Josephus Dam
iels, Secretary of the Navy. told the
fortieth international convention of
the association here tonight.
Mr.. Daniels expressed appreciation
of the associations work with the
Army and Navy during the war. Two
criticisms aimed at the associations
work, he declared, should be matters
of pride. The first was as to its
canteen work, he said. adding: 1t is
n record that will live-that when the
hour struck the association was
ready, equipped, and gave proof that
it had practical faith in preparedness.
with Army help 1t undertook the
job, and through 1t sold at less than
cost. the prices charged were neces-
sarily higher than at home. and some
of the soldiers made complaint"
Tie second criticism, Mr.. Daniels
declared, was that the Y. NJ. c. A.
placed religion to the fore in all its
activities with the armed service.
That criticism is the crownlpg
glory of the association" maintained
the Secretary "and when it does not
merit this criticism 1t will lose
dyanmic force which justifies its ex-
istence. 1t is the power of Christian
faith and Christian service which has
made the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation the greatest organized
agency for young men in the world
to-day.

Saitzgiver Art and Antique Store
window. The most beautiful ones
to be procured, of foreign or Amer
lean artists, are to be found at this
art store. Not only do they spe-
cialize in pictures, but framing is
their hobby. Machinemade frames
are like mach!nemade music, more
accurate, but lacking the human
touch and feeling-quite a differ
ence when you have to live with
them. So, why not buy your pic

the best, but where you can also re-
ceive assistance in selecting a frame
with which it will be a pleasure to
live? In other words-why not go
to Saltzg!ver's?
