Appeal
Salvation Army Addresses
Call to Missoula.


generously responded to the call that
has been made on them for money for
ne much needed work among the sol
diers at the different camps and cam
comments and for the Red Cross and
patriotic 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 it has been work
ing that it's workers will make any
sacrifice for the benefit of humanity
regardless Of what 1t may mean to
,he ones who have to do the work. In
it's war service. work the nations at
war have found that 1t plays no small
part. President Wilson was very
grateful for it's 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 it's ambulances are
going to and fro carrying the wound
ID. and in the hospitals its 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
ut the camps and cantonments. 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 no
remembered that there is a need for
funds TO carry on the work. II Is
almost an admitted fact by all that
no other organization can do III" Sal
walton Armys work and that 1t Will
reach people that no one else can;
but the fact people arc in sympathy
with its work and admit the good II
does and admire the work 1t accom-
plishes is not sufficient. The quota
asked from Mssoula for the War
Service league is 5000: ii is small
compared with the amounts that have
been asked for other things. but then
it Is said of the Salvation Army that
1t makes "a dime do the work OF n
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 its members in other places
have delivered to the Red Cross So
ciety many articles to be shipped and
arc making the things that they are
asked to make wherever war service
| Is organized and working So, in or
der for Missoula to do its 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 II, the needs OF
the local work must not be forgotten
! as winter Is with us and there will be
! suffering unless there Is ready re-
| Spouse to the local needs Of clothing
funds and other supplies. There have
| been hardly any children's or bahy'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 MS
neither must we forget the ones thai
| are at home.
Yours for the best service that car
be rendered.
