The red triangle service sign of the
War Work Council today encircles the
globe.
Among all the forces now mobilizino
in training or fighting for the triumph
OF democracy, and among the interned
prisoners of war, where the powers of
autocracy reign, the army War Work
Council is doing its work Of preserv-
ing that morale so essential to the sue
cess Of the army in the field.
Fighter Has Two Enemies
The fighting man has two enemies.
One is the German who seeks to take
his life. The other is the representa-
tive of vice who seeks to take his
health, his happiness and his honor. A
high Canadian authority says that in
the Canadian army at the front today
more men are disabled from service
by disease from immortality than bv
the shot and shell of the enemy.
In the United States army, there are
hospitals, where if we work against
it, our American boys may never be.
They are scattered throughout France,
these hospitals, and thousands of
French, English, Canadian and Aus
tralian boys and men are filing them.
They are not the wounded but the sick
OF those diseases caused by immoral
ity.
War Work Council Follows Fighters
From the moment of his enlistment.
through the monotonous- months of
training, up to the dangers of trench
life and beyond even that the War
Work Council is to follow the Ameri-
can fighting men. This WORK has re-
celved its need Of praise. Says, Pres
ident Wilson: "May I not express
to You the very high value have at
tached to the work which has been &C.
complished by the War Work Council,
and my sincere personal interest in the
large plans Of the work which is sti4.
ahead of the association.

camps for the lesser groups and de-
tachments at 245 other places. There
are 63 tents in use, and 265 buildings
have been erected or are now under

new buildings have been authorized
and "a are under consideration. These

Nations Back Splendid Work
The American army War Work Coun-
ell has the strongest support Of it's
government in its f~A+ against the
social menace. Our military authori,
tiles abroad have t4ken strong stand.
The plan suggested by the associa-
tion for dealing with this social evil,
which is being given serious consid-
eration, is as follows: First, by a cam
paign of education, conducted among
the soldiers by competent medical and
moral authorities; second, by a strong
recreational program; third, by strict
regulations and penalties.
To help the fighting men of America
fight their two battles, the army War
Work Council is asking $35,009 900O
from the people~of the United States
To help your son, husband, brother OF
sweetheart make good soldier, and
stay good man, it is asking from
you what you consider this worth. The
government will not let you accom-.
pany "your soldier'' to minister to
HIM and to strengthen him. It viii
let you send the army War Work Coun
ell which has proven the best substi
tute. It will let you set the red trian
gle with its triple message of physi
cal, mental and moral strength and
support where it will always be before
his eyes.
When your local committeeman calls
ION you for your share, give it willing
" for you are giving to keep the home
fires burning, to bring comfort to ou1
bows while away from home and hel1
him to be a better soldier, better
man. Let us give willingly to hel1
this splendid cause.
