A., physical director in the army, de livered an address at the Reformed church yesterday morning in which he outlined the work of i.his organ ization and showed its tremendous importance not only to .trie army, but to the country and world as well. Mr. West spoke easily but force fully. His subject was "Life,'' but its immediate application was life in the army. He made the point that the Y. M. C A., which has three departments in the army, sought to make the men good fighters without Prussianizing them. It vvas also an appeal for more workers in this field. The Y. M. C. A. has three depart ments with this end in view educa tional, social and religious. Numbers of young men coming into the army illiterate are taught to read and write before they leave for France and the speaker told of the joy such soldiers feel. Good literature is furnished them and the social atmosphere is wholesome. The association organ izes Bible classes and seeks to inter est the men in Christ. The Y. M. C. A. wants to make the soldiers good fighters, Mr. West said, but it wants to keep hate out of their lives. It wants them to hate the thing thlat Germans fight for, but not to hate the Germans them selves. Prussianism is to be despised, but the men and women who have been brought up with the con ception of the state and of life are to be pitied. If we can make our soldiers good fighters without instill ing that baneful system in their lives, we have conquered the world. That's the object of the Y. M. C. A. A large congregation was present and Mr. West's address was thor oughly enjoyed. in Palestine PROMISE KAISER THEY'LL HOLO By the Associated Preas. Amstertam, Sept. 23.
