Mobilization for -Christian work in the Army camps is the proper word. Those who are acquainted with the hitorjl of the Young Men's Christian Association know something of the .wonderful work done by this organization in the trenches during the Japanese-Kus-sian War. J$o factor was more important in Mexican Border work than that of . the Young Men's Christian Association. This organization is now doing and has heen doing for two years a won derful piece of work in the prison camps of Europe and also in the mobilization camps. Perhaps the greatest single ; piece of work ; it has yet undertaken will be to con duct Christian work among the million men who are to be muster ed into service by the United States Army, at the present time. TWELVE HUNDRED MEN NEEDED : Twelve hundred of the choicest and best trained men are now to be called to this work. Two hun dred good Army Association build ings will be constructed in the va rious camps throughout the United States. These, buildings will be large wooden structures with audi torium, writing , rooms, game rooms, offices, etc. In each build ing there will be first a General Secretary who has large training and experience. These men will probably be recruited from the men of the largest City, Kailroad, and Industrial Associations. "Next, there will be in each building a trained Physical Director who will have charge of play, recrea tion, lectures on First Aid to the Injured, and kindred topics. These men must be men of real experience and preferably men of medical training. Third, there will-be a Religious Work Director who will have chaTge of Bible study classes to be conducted among the soldiers, the daily reli gious meetings to he held, train ing and personal evangelism, edu cational work, etc. Many of these men will be recruited from the col lege secretaries of the Young' Men's Christian Associations, younger alumni who are now in the ministry, and other alumni who were active in Association work during their college careers. In choosing these men, undoubted ly preference will be given to men who have attended one or more Summer Conferences. In adef i tion to the three foregoing men, there will be located in each army building from two to four Assis tant Secretaries. . Most of these men are to be recruited from re cent graduates, graduate students, senior students of marked ability, .nd others who have been active lv. Christian work. - It will thus be seen at a glance that two hundred secretaries with large experience will be needed, two hundred physical directors, two hundred religious work di rectors, and from four to six hun dred assistant secretaries. SUGGESTED METHODS OF SELECT ING AND TRAINING THESE MEN It is expected that the two hun dred Eeligious Work Directors and the six hundred Assistant Sec retaries will be chosen and trained in- connection with the Summer Conferences to be held at the va rious places in the United States. In the South, this conference will in all probability be held at Blue Eidge, N". C, the students coming together at the same date as our Student Conference, June 12th. To this Conference we are invit ing all men who are qualified to fill any of these places. From those, coming, the best qualified group will be chosen for this work. Here and there an outstanding man may be chosen ahead but with the specific understanding that he will go to the Conference. Dur ing the Student Conference, we expect that there will be a regulr.r Association course on Army Asso ciation Work. In other words, those who take this work must have as rigid training as those in the officers' recruiting corps. The War Council of one hundred men appointed by the International Committee has decided that thirty days is to be the time required for each such worker. GOVERNMENT RECOGNITION President Eoosevelt has said that the Panama 'Canal could not have been built had it not been for the Young Men's Christian Association in the Canal Zone. This organization kept the men fit, clean and happy, and without it, officers testify that the project would have failed. Hence the United States Government built the club houses in which the Y. M. C. A. work was done, put the secretaries on the United States pay roll and in every way facili tated the work of the Association.' The War Department and Pres ident Wilson have been more than enthusiastic about the work done on the Mexican Border, hence they are giving large opportunities for the work of the Association in the Army Camps to be organized. It cannot now be said with certain ty but there is every chance that the Y. M. C. A. Secretaries will all be regularly recognized, thus giving them regular army stand ing. A SUPREME CHANCE FOR SERVICE Perhaps there is no place in the war program where a man with recognized training in service has any larger opportunity than in the secretaryship of the Association. Each man will be in direct rela tionship to at least one thousand men and if he can help a thousand soldiers to live a more wholesome, WHEN IN DURHAM EAT AT GOODY SHOP CAFE ITS DIFFEREN T FLOWERS jgwmtutl JVtteratcr GREENSBORO.

Y. normal and manly life, he will have done more than almost any other man to make a real fighting machine. A call to be a Secretary, therefore, is a call to the very highest patriotic service. It i is volunteering for a most difficult task and a most needed service. Already certain colleges in the South have volunteered to pay the salary of a secretary representing their college, either in the person of one of their own secretaries or one of their chosen alumni. Every college in the South should be rep resented in some fashion. Certain ly there is no college that ought not to have one or more of its very strongest students,, seniors or alumni, attend this Conference for the sake of entering the secretary ship of the Association provided they prove to have sufficient quali fications. Already the Committee of one hundred is raising $3,000, 000 to defray the expenses of this work the first year. TRAINED LEADERSHIP NEEDED Not only is there a great need for trained men to be secretaries but there is more urgent need to day for trained leadership among college men than ever before. If a man is to return to college he must take up the burden of the Association laid down by the older students who have gone to the Army Camps. If he is to be in the ranks of the Army, all the training possible will be needed to help him do his share in stem ming the tide of temptation that will face every soldier in camp. This ought, therefore, to be the greatest year for training that the colleges have ever had and let no one think that we should have a f mailer Student Conference. We should have from one to two hun dred more men at the Student Conference than ever before. This war is a war for moral principles and it can not be waged except by men of moral character. If ever men needed to make real sacrifices for getting ready to do battle now is the time. It should not be said to our shame that this war for moral principles has un dercut our preparation for moral living.
