DRIVE. ON TO RAISE
$4,000 FOR WAR WORK
COMMITTEES CANVASSING CITY
AND COUNTY FOR DONATIONS
TO BIG FUND,

Campaign for raising $4,000 in
contributions from residents OF
Olympia and Thurston county as the
local quota of the national $35,OOO,-
600 fund for the war work carried
on by the Y. M. c. A. in the army
and navy training camps in this
country, on board ship and on the
various European battlefronts, was
inaugurated Thursday by canvassing
committees in Olympia and associat-
ed committees in all the communi-
ties of the county, under the general
direction of Attorney George F.
Yantis.
Final plans and instructions for
the drive which is occupying the last
three days of this week, were given
at meeting of the men and women
composing the committees at the Y.
NJ. c. A. Wednesday evening. The
team captains are c. H. Springer,
Prosecuting Attorney Thomas L.
O'Leary, State Treasurer w. w.
Sherman, State Law Librarian C.
Will Shaffer, Harry F. Giles, E. N.
Steele, Superintendent c. E. Beach,
City Attorney George Bigelow, and
Mesdames NJ. f. George, w. Lillian
and Frank M. Kenney.
To Aid War Work
Emphasis is laid by the campaign
ers upon the fact that tho money is
not for the Y. M. c. A., but for the
war work which it is the only agency
to carry on, such as the Red Cross is
the recognized agency for the work
which it directs.
President Wilson and all of the
army and navy officials have heartily
endorsed these activities, while Cen
eral Pershing, in charge of the
American expeditionary force in
France, has made an urgent appeal
for generous support of the work,
which is carried on not only among
the American troops in France, but
among the French. English. Italian
and Russian troops on the different
battlefronts, on all battleships. and
among allied prisoners in enemy
camps. as we'll as at Camp Lewis and
the other big training camps in the
United States and among the Ameri-
can troops on the Mexican border.
Meetings Throughout County
Meetings are being held in va
rious districts of the county, at which
the local -Minute-Men are ex-
planning the war work and the uses
to which the big fund is to be put,
while entertainments are being held
in different localities, the proceeds of
which will go toward the county's
quota.
The Rochester auxiliary of the
County Council for Patriotic Service
! for instance, will stage patriotic
dance at the NJ. W. A. hall in that
town Saturday evening. and the re-
ceipts will be aonated to the war
! fund
