"Von Tirpitz was fascinated with dreadnaughts," he sdys, "and even during the war hindered the construction of new submarines, in the belief that the few he had consented to , build were sufficient to beat England in a few months." Delbruck calls upon the Reichstag to order an investigation into Von Tirnifl'o r\at?ol ]/!Wi o uavai puui,)r. CARDINAL GIBBONS' MESSAGE There is in these times a veritable ocean of sorrow and suffering engulfing millions of souls, and a society with the membership and resources of the Red Cross, actuated as it is by Christian principles, can best undertake the tremendous burden of extend intelligent and efficient relief. In particular I approve of the Red Cross activities as they are directed towards supporting the courage and caring for the injuries of our young soldiers and sailors. It is my earnest hope that all of our people will cheerfully and generously co-operate with the Red Cross committee in their efforts towards reaping the fullest measure of charity that it may be possible for the society to attain. James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore.

A. hut n France has bigger possibilities of lational service than most of the bank ind college presidencies and big city tulpits in America.'* It was with the above oabled statenent that E. C. Carter, director of the overseas work of the American Y. M. 3. A. in France, emphasized the serl usncss of his appeal for men sent out rom PariH headquarters. With all welare, entertainment. and physical work ind the conducting of the post exhange stores among our soldiers In rrance, England and Italy in charge f the American Y. M. C. A. at Geniral Pershing's request and the French, taltam and Portuguese government* appealing for trained American Y. M. 3. A. workers to perform a similar ervioe for their soldiers, it is obvious hat an enormous number of Red Triingle men are needed "Over ?-3,000 new recruits within ilnety days, of more Y. M. C. A. seeetaries than have been sent across luring the previous twelve months. "It is imperative that we meet our (bligations to the American and Ailed armiee," continued Director Carer hi hie recent cablegram relayed o Southeastern War Work council leadquarters of the Young Men's Christian Association at Atlanta, Ga. There are ninety-si* important posts tere without sufficient workers. Fory-seven of them are near tl*e front ind thirty-eight positions are under ihell-flre." Pratt Offers $100,000.00 Herbert Pratt, vide president of the Standard Oil Company, now in France is an American Y. M. C. A. vjorker, ecently cabled to New York City nalonal headquarters urging that hunIreds of men he sent at once. "Carter and staff are doing remarkably fine work," read Mr. Pratt's catlegram, "but often are too tired bo:ause of lack of assistants." Mr. *ratt has offered a personal gift of 100,000.00 to defray the expense of ending more secretaries overseas. To fill this crying need, special eforta are being made by the National Var Work Council at home to enlist ecrotariee for service under the Red rriangle "Over There." Every ion of the country has been especialy organised within the past few weeks or this purpose. Governor Whitman if New York, Governor Rye of Tenlessee, Harry Lauder and Gipsy Smith, famous Pritish evangelist, are ypical of the type of men heading the amnnien committees and sDeakinsr at nass meetings to enlist Army and favy Y.

Alexander, iroetor of the Southeastern Department, war personnel board, is in. harge of th<f campaign in this section ,-ith headquarter* at Atlanta, Ga. Reruiting committees have been apointed in every state. One of the reasons why it is so dlfcult to obtain men who are satisfacory for service abroad is described y A. G. Knebel, executive secretary ar tlfe War Pe^onnel Board of thaiational War Work Council, in- a rnent interview. "Nothing Time About 'Y' Work." "Thousands of applicant rejected lelude many who picked out the Y. I. C. A. as a nice soft branch of war ervice.

Not every secretary who goes overseas is sent to the front line trenches ?Dui he may be. The Army and Navy Y. M. C. A. follows the lias and fhe fighting men of the Allies every where but over the top. The man who goes up to the trenches pitches a tent, erects a sheet iron hut or finds a deserted building, cellar or dugout in which to begin work. Will Beat His Sons to France. Most admirable are the ambitions of many fathers of soldiers and sailors to enlist for Red Triangle service, and thus, perhaps, meet their sons in France or on the high seas. The Personnel Board has the record of a man who recently sailed for France, who has one son an officer and another an enlisted man. He is very proud of the fact that he will he "Over There" before his sons. Recruits, for American Army and Navy Y. M, C. A. service overseas need be "only ordinary men and good Christians," as described by Dr. Alexander of the Southeastern Department Personnel committee. Men of almost any profession or vocation are acceptable, but they must be over the. draft age?thirty-one years?or have been iejected as physically unfit, because of a noticeable defect, such as a deformity, loss of.eye or limb, which at a glance will classify the secretary. Absolute loyalty to the government and sympathy with the cause of the Allies In our fight to the end for a world safe for democracy, must inspire the Red Triangle worker. A man whose father or mother was bom in any of the countries with which we are n?av at war cannot serve overseas. A secretary cannot be accompanied by nis wire, no more than can an officer.

This does not mean Hie furbishing up of municipalities or the date set for humim* rnhhith (r. yards. It is the date set hv the second Y. M. C. A. war work campaign'fund organization in the Southeastern military department for boosting collections on the last campaign. In a report by R. H. King, director of finance in the Southeast, issued on April 15th, it was shown that 73 per cent of the collections had been made. It is his aim to n^ake that percentage climb to 85 per cent by the end of "Clean Up" week and local committees will act accordingly. Two states have already exceeded the 86 per cent mark; Mississippi and Florida. Georgia comes next with 71 per cent, the others are as follows; Alabama, 70; South Carolina, 68; North Carolina, 6S; Tennessee, 60. "The mobilization of dollars In direct gifts to be applied to national defense is & short-cut method of winning the war," said A. II.
