Y.M C.A. Fund Passes $1,000,000 Mark
Following a special meeting of the
National Mil -;tarp Committee of the
Y. M. C. A., 'Captain Charles W.
Bishop, General Secretary, announced
that the results of tire Y. M. 0. A. ap-
peal for its military and other national
work had reached the grand total of
$1,002,000. The amount that was ask-
ed in the budget was $750,000, so this
response is undoubtedly an expression
of oonfld nce i
e u Y, M, C. A, service to
the soldiers, and indicates an expecta-
tion of still larger service in the future.
The reports presented at the meeting
showed that nearly all the cities and
towns in which campaigns had been
held had exceeded the amount request-
ed. In those $892,000 had been sub-
scribed. Grants of Provincial Govern -
Inmate totalled $38,000, and in addition
contributions sent in directly by
organizations and individuals exceeded
$70,000.
The meeting placed on record its
appreciation of the generous responee
tp the appeal, and of the services of
those wbo had assisted in the local
campaigns. It was decided as a result
of the over•subacribing of the fund, to
extend the work beyond the line con.
templated in the original budget.
These will include the reaching of de-
tached units; increasing the nunnber
of concerts and entertainments; devel-
oping educational lectures, and extend-
ing religious and evangelistic work
with the beet available workers and
speakers. Work in London for Cana -
ethane on leave will be opened up,
while in Canada local "Red Triangle"
Clubs will be started for the soldiers,
and a larger eervioe undertaken in the
Military Hospitals.
Vane are already under way for
inaugurating a popular form of edu-
cational work among Canadian soldiers
in England during the long period, of
demobilization, to fit them fora return
to civilian life, and an educationalis t•
Will leave shortly to spend three
months in England and Ftance in
organizing this phaee of Y.M,C.A,
activity.

RESTRAINT
My heart wad filled with Billingsgate
And on my fiery tongue
A scorching flame of hatred
And of fierce invective hung,
I longed to tell the country
Of my party's wrongs and woes
And to crash beneath a load of scorn
My party's hated foes,
But I heard a cry that stayed me,
A cry from the shores of b'ranee,
Where Grit and Tory side by side
Have stemmed the foe's advance,
T'was the cry from the stoat battalions
The sweat in the thick of the fight;
A cry f suppogt for the firing line
Thanquered my petty spite,
And I swore by the land that bore me
Tttat no bitter word of mine
Should delay the help that is called for
By the boys in the firing line,
That with charity to alt my race
And bitternose to tittone,
I'd stand behind the gallant Men
Who stand behind the gun.

THE WEDDING
It was the swelleet wedding that
Manhattan ever saw;
The bride's bouquet was cauliflower
With shower effect of straw.
The decorations formed a bower
Of cabbages and beans,
With spinach and asparagus
And other garden greens.
Aigrettes of slender scallions trimmed
The bridesmaids' hate of lace.
And in the best man's left lapel
A radish found a place.
The wedding cafe was decked with
beets,
Cucumbers and Tomatoes,
And .princely was the bridegro cm's
gift
A baste! of Potatoes.
