Appeal
Salvation Army Addresses
Call to Missoula.
To the People of Missoula:

AS the people of MissOula have so
generously responded to the call that
has been made on them for money for
the much needed work among the SOL
diers at the different camps and can
tonments and for the Red Cross and
pa triotic society 1t seems that they
have been almost taxed to their limit.
but when a need is shown to them
that demands their attention. from
past experience it has been found
that they will respond.
The Salvation Army has shown to
the people wherever 1t has been work.
ing that its workers will make any
sacrifice for the benefit of humanity
regardless of what It may mean to
the ones who have to do the work. In
it's war service work the nations at
| war have found that It plays no small
part, President Wilson was very
grateful for its cooperation and ac-
cepted the services offered to him.
Mr.. Hoover also found that the serv-
| ices of the Salvation Army are useful
| in the food conservation fight. On
! the battlefields its ambuiances are
| going to and fro carrying the wound
! ed, and in the hospitals it's officers and
nurses are doing their best for the
afflicted and injured. Numbers Of
| brave women officers are throwing
themselves into the war service work
at the camps and environments Gre
ating an atmosphere that brings home
ties more than anything else can do.
Sewing and repairing. cooking and
doing their best to make things as
pleasant as possible.
| While this is going on. 1t must be
remembered that there is need for
funds to carry on the work. 1t Is
almost an admitted fact by all that
no other organization can do the Sal
walton Army's work and that 1t Will
reach people that no one else can:
but the fact people are in sympathy
with it's work and admit the good it
does and admire the work it accom-
plishes is not sufficient. The quota
asked from Missoula for the War
| Service league Is 5000: 1t Is small,
! compared with the amounts that have
been asked for other things. but then
It is said Of the Salvation Army that
| It makes "a dime do the work of a
| dollar" Members are needed for the
making Of surgical supplies and gar
ments for hospital use, and since its
co operation with the Red Cross So
ciety it's members in other places
have delivered to the Red Cross so
ciety many articles to be shipped and
are making the things that they are
asked to make wherever war service
is organized and working. So. in or
der for Missoula to do it's part. there
is a need for little more sacrifice
on the part of the people who are in
terested to get the War Service league
organized to the place where 1t can
do the work that is being done in
other places.
While this work is so badly needed
and the attention of the people is
called on to support it, the needs OF
the local work must not be forgotten
as winter is with us and there will be
suffering unless there is a ready re-
Spouse to the local needs of clothing
funds and other supplies. There have
been hardly any children's or baby's
clothes for a month. and the demand
for these from the poor and from
those who are in meager circum
stances is great. We must not neglect
the ones that are fighting for us
neither must We forget the ones thai
are at home.
Yours for the best service that car
. be rendered.
CAPTAIN A. NJ. HOLBROOk.
! Commanding the Local Corps of the
Salvation Army.
