Pledge Reports Are $650 Shor of Campaign Goal
The program of the Y.M.C.A. will have to be reduced this year unless the $850 deficit in student pledge accounts has been addressed, Y.M.C.A. secretary, said today.
Little more was received by the NYCAC's reports from collectors and investors, in part, by attaining its $2,000 goal for this year which was missed by $600 in the two years since 2014.
Yesterday it was thought that the reports would remove a large part of the officers who were missed, and the officers were left to report today. Some of the solicitors and captains have retained their labs and will continue working there until they are missed during the drive. All reports will be made within two weeks, after the officer is supposed to be used to get all men missed.
It was thought possible that a few pledges will be brought into the Y.M.C.A. office at 121 Fraser Hall on Monday during the campaign and who wished to help finance the work here.

"Monsieur Kedroff," called the deal clerk at the Eldridge hotel in his best French.
From the depths of the lobby came a barbarian rumbling. Crowned by a crown, he wore a suit and gray pants, the former professor at the Imperial Conservatory, and a black cape, bulk aglylely from a big chair where he was playing chess with his man.
"Je suis Monsieur Doan," he said with our Kenneth Cornell infection. "And then we settled down to talk Russian."
Because Professor Kedroff has definite ideas about things he has not noticed, he is a good teacher of them and of their being misunderstood through language faults. He speaks French
"The machine age in America an intoo in Soviet Russia is killing fowm," he said. Then he grasped his coat tails and firmly pulled himself back into his chair.

Monsieur Kredoff paused and put two fingers on the root of his nose. He thought deeply while little hissing he turned to show how fast his brain was working.
