Topeka Capital: 1t has been sug
gested that more married than single
men enlisted in England because the
married men are used to battle. An
other explanation is that married
men give up less by enlistment. Also
IT has been suggested that married
men enlist because they have a great
er stake in the country. A further
explanation made Is that the married
men are used to doing their duty and
making sacrifices and expect to do so.
Another is that married men are
accustomed to discipline and used to
Obeying orders. The explanations
are numerous enough to account for
the fact, eve though none of them
are true.

GOOD WILL FUND
ONLY S11,216.4 9
Contributions Below VIVA
They Were Year AgO-TO
Continue Canvass.

Contributions to the fund being
raised for the charitable organiza-
tons of the city by the South Bend
Federation for Social Service now
amount to $11.216.49. more than
$50, 600 less than the heads of the
association expected TO collect dur
ing the Good Will week campaign.
Good Will week came TO an end on
Saturday night, but owing 10 the
difference between the amount re-
ceived and the amount expected, the
workers will continue their efforts
to get subscriptions 10 the fund.
Practically all of the money Sc
cured by the federation has been in
the form Of pledges. About $4,000
has been given as cash donations.
The pledges that have , been re-
ceived have been deposited with one
Of the banks OF the city and those
who agreed to give money will pay
their pledges at that institution.
Officials Of the federation are un-
able TO determine why the people Of
the city are not giving as much this
year as they did during the cam
paign in 1915. One of the argu-
ments advanced by those who have
asked to donate is that there is
plenty of work in South Bend and
that nobody needs to be out Of work
or in poor circumstances. The So
EDITORS have explained that the
charitable organizations are forced
TO care for the sick and others who
are physically unable to labor.
Should the federation be unable
TO secure an amount equal to that
secured last year, approximately
$4,000, during the present week,
l. is probable that the campaign will
be continued indefinitely. Many per
sons who gave large amounts to the
organization in 1915 have not been
reached, and their contributions TO
the Good Will fund are expected to
raise the present figures consider
ably.
