Y. M. C. A. ADDRESSED BY DABBS AND KING Secretary Gives Interesting Account of Visit to Vol unteer Conference The Y. M. C. A. meeting Wednesday night was addres sed by Lieut. J. M. Dabbs of Camp Jackson and by Secre tary King. Dabbs is pleasant ly remembered on the campus by many of the older students. Mr. Dabbs spoke enthusias tically of the work the Y. M. C. A. is doing among the sol diers of the training camps, saying the men out of camp have an unparalleled opportu nity to help maintain this im portant Christian organization. Secretary King told of his recent trip to Northfield, Mass., where he attended a meeting of the Student Volun teer Conference. Almost every nation was represented in the council, Mr. King said. The call was made for the enrollment of 200,000 men to go from America to the for eign fields and South Carolina must do its part. The appeals for help made by the representatives from the various countries, Mr. King said, would make almost any man open his eyes and want to help them to the light. One half the world can not read or write any lan guage and have never heard of Christ. There is only one physician to every million of the popula tion of Indo-China and only one minister, to every three hundred thousand. The most striking address at the conference, Mr. King said, was that of Dr. John R. Mott, who had just returned from the battle fronts. Dr. Mott said: "The whole world is a shaken mass. The pillows of civilization are crumbling. Commerce has failed, economic interest shaken, home life does not exist, education is un certain and dangerous and or ganized Christianity has been disappointed." Also that "The world is overburdened. The war has cost one hundred bil lions of dollars--five times the cost of the 20 greatest former wars. It has cost Germany one-fourth her aggregate wealth and eight millions of men have died from wounds or from being in prison camps." Dr. W. T. C. Bates and Au gust Kohn of Columbia have been re-elected trustees of the University. T. L. Bailey, 1917 is instru< tor in Zoology and biology a the University of the Soutr Sewanee, Tenn.
