WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
That Americas Task
In theWar Is Not Done Un-
til Her Men Come Home
Again

When you give to the United War
Work Campaign you give to your
own flesh and blood and are strength
ening the pulse beats of the national
heart. Because there is talk of an
armistice and peace, it must not be
understood that there is no further
need for sacrifice on the part of the
home-folks Of America. Peace is not
yet in sight, and even if it were to
be declared to-day, it would mean
months and maybe years before the
rehabilitation of our army would be
complete. And until that time there
is a big necessity for the care of the
men in uniform. AS Director Mott
states it it is up to us to see that
the period of rehabilitation does not
become a period of generalization"
1t took two years to complete the
rehabilitation of the troops after
the Franco-Prussian War of 1870,
and it took the United States SIX
TEEN MONTHS to complete the de.
mobilization of the United States
troops at the close of the Spanish
American War. Think then of what
it will mean and the time it will take
to handle the millions of men now in
service as compared with the thous-
ands in the war Of 1889.
These men in khaki, the finest
blood of our country, and the COM
ing rulers of this land, will find them
selves with time on their hands and
nothing to do during this period of
waiting. If we do not give to these
seven organizations who are inter-
ested in the welfare of these men,
who is going to car for them, keep
them out of temptations such as be-
fall idle, waiting men? The work
undertaken by the organizations rep
resented in this united drive cover
every possible want, mental, moral
and social. 1t provides clean and
wholesome surroundings and pleas
ures; it furnishes food, books, teach
ers and entertainers.
To occupy all the time of our men
is going to cost much more than it
has to help them in fragments of
their time. 1t is up to the American
people to subscribe generously in
grateful recognition of the marvellous
service rendered by our men. and
with the firm purpose to make the
period of rehabilitation not a period
of physical. mental and moral de-
terioration and weakening but rather
a period of character building of
growth in useful knowledge. work.
ing efficiency and of preparation for
assuming larger responsibilities as
citizens on their return home.
On account of the sickness in the
community, no entertainments can
be given whereby funds can be re-
lized at this time; for the same rea-
son, no house to house canvass can
be made; as a consequence the Coun-
Gil of Defense has taken it upon it.
self to guarantee that the c%ounty's
quota will be raised before time for
the last pledge installment to be
paid. That will give the county a
little longer time in which to raise
the funds necessary and not leave US
