THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1920.

AN ISLANDER'S DIARY.

(By *'Ajax.")

The Committee of the War Memorial must be complimented on adopting the suggestion that I throw out a fortnight ago that the institute that was desired to com memorate those who had fallen in the Great War should be called by its proper name. To have named it a YM.C.A. would have bean a gross error for it would; not be a Y.M.CA. in the sense that we have been accustomed to knowing these institutions. "War Memorial Institute is certainly a proper appellation, and should, please every one. It is not quite) clear what is

meant by the (announcement that the In- stitute will be run on Y.M.CIA. lines. Is that to mean that There will be a leavering of religion in the affair, or that the management will be vested in one who has had experience of! Y. M. C. A work? I almost think that the Committee of the War Memorial Institute do not know themselves exactly what is meant by "Y. M. C. A. lines." | A little enlightenment will Alige.
