Then they had their own Y.M.C.A. proposition. About two months ago they nerded 8230,000 and they actually raised over $300,000 to put up huts and furnish them for Canadian troops. Tu short, they generally raised 50 lo-100 per cení. more than the sum aimed at, and & ourious feature was that it was found ensier to raise money for other deserving objects than it had been before the war. This year in Toronto the Y.

In passing, Mr. Warburton remarked, that, as an old campaigner in the sphere of money-raising, he had taken a deep interest in the recent campaign for a Y.M.C.A.. building in Hongkong, and said that the proportion which the sub- seriptions actually paid bure to those promised was higher than in any of the places he had visited.
