BRUGMAN MAKES
WEEK SUCCESS
Father and Sons Celebration is Due
to Boys Secretary at the ~"
Who Works Untiringly for
Their Interests.

Credit for the complete success of
Fathers and Sons week, and especially
for the banquets which were held Fri
day night all over the city, should be
given to William Brugman, boys Sec
retary at the Y. M. G. A.
The real reason for the success
which Mr.. Brugman is making of his
work is probably summed up best in
the words of one man who attended
the banquet Friday, admitted it was
the first time he had ever been to an
occasion of this sort, but declared he
was glad he had come, especially since
he had always heard that "Will Bfug-
man was regular fellow, and now he
believed 1t"
The boys like Mr.. Brugman, because
he has never forgotten that he was a
boy once, and that comradeship, that
spirit of understanding between boys"
is deep as any one knows. And the
older boys like him because he Is
sincere and just and as this Older
boy expressed it, regular fellow"

NO WAR WITH
JAPAN HE SAYS
Chicago Man Who Speaks at Open
Forum Sees No Fa. East Trouble
Unless America Becomes
the AQgressor. 9sf

Declaring that there would never be
a war with Japan, unless we were the
aggressors, DR.. Frank Newh1l White
quoted from various Japanese states
men to show the regard IN which
America is held by the Japanese.
DR.. White said that the infamous
ultimatum of Japan to China in 1915
was largely responsible for the un-
easiness with which Japan was re-
garded. But he said that those de
mands were largely inspired by the
actions of Russia at Port Arthur, Ger
many in Shantung and France IN
southern China. When the Russo
Japanese war give Port Arthur To
Japan, they began to practice, for
their own self defense what we would
do if those same foreign powers had
seized parts of Mexico and Central
America. islands of the West Indies
and ports on the Pacific.
He compared the honorable dealing Is
of Japan in foreign relations with our
own treatment of China, in our ex
clusion. laws directly in violation OF
our treaties of 1863 and 1880 with
China. And he indicated the way to
a better understanding with Japan
when we tried to understand japan
as they understand us; when the
United States adopted reasonable
policy regarding immigration; and
whea we recognized the tremendous
influence for good which christian
missionaries have been in counselins
the japanese during their formative
period or contact with western civil
iZation and customs.

Ansu.rs 70 criticisrns.

Miss Hcrnish made answers TO
some criticisms which are sometimes
made of the Y. w. c. A, by persons
who do not understand its purposes.
In reply To the remark that the build
ing is not used enough, Miss Hornish
quoted one prominent club woman IN
keokuk who said that the "Y" asso-
citation was one enterprise she fully
approved OF because of the many DIFF.
fent activities which were harbored
there. On recent evening there,
practically every room in the build
ing with every branch Of the work
was making use OF the
building for various meetings.
Out of many instances where the
"Y" had served persons for whom
the association was intended, Miss
Hornish answered the statement
that the organization did not help
those who needed it, by telling the
women at the luncheon about one
girl who came to Keokuk with no
friends, money or employment, and
how through the a Lncies at the "Y''
all of these thing were supplied her,
and she was able to establish her
self in this city.

Not Narrow, She Says.

! The association is not narrow, as
it has been criticized to be, the
president said. It's doors are opened
TO persons of every creed and nation
atty. Miss Hornish explained why
it was necessary to increase the bud
get this year in spite of the fact the
interest on the Huislramp endowment
fund was larger than before, because
There had been an increase in the
salaries, wages, insurance and gen
eral running expenses of the associa-
ton. The interest on the endow-
ment for this year is $1,155.
In closing, Miss Hornish paid a
tribute to the men and women of
Keokuk who have always given of
their time and means to help the
work of the association along, and
she assured the women Saturday that
1t was all appreciated.
