The Washington times., 1917-10-11

Response to the appeal for funds
with which to purchase smokes for
American soldiers in France came
from the scores OF employees OF the
Ivy City Shops Of the Washington
Terminal Company today. A few
weeks ago a list was posted at the
engine round-house with the result
that today It shows the name Of prac-
tically every empIoye Of the shops.
The total amount added to the fund
by this round-robin contribution is
$5O7o. .
An engineer who removed the list
after the employees OF the shops had
signed it carried it on several runs
and train empIoyts added their bit"
to the fund that will provide solid
comfort for the boys "over there"
Marked By ToIPs Stains.
When the list was brought to The
Times office today it was marked by
the stains Of patriotic and honest toll
and the contributions will carry a.
double significance to the American
soldiers in France who are preparing
70 go into the trenches. They will
convey the good will and warm wishes
Of men who labor hard. Every quar-
ter provided in this amount Will ouy
a kit Of smokes for some American
soldier who has taken up arms In de-
fense OF American rights.
