The United War Work campaign
opened in Holly Monday morning
with q quota Of 5000 to raise.
Chairman +. H. Allen of the local
committee, had his organization
well completed by Tuesday. inelud-
ing an active committee In the
country.
A booth has also been establish.
ed in the post office, where cOntri-
buttons to the fund have been re-
ceived. Mr.. Allen urges that any
one who may not have been seen
by members Of the regular commit.
tees will please call at his office
with their contributions.
1t IL hoped to. have the quota
raised by Saturday night If posi-
BILE, though the following Monday
night Is the official closing date of
the drive.
1t should readily be seen by all
that the signing of the arInistice
and cessation of battle In no way
lessons the urgent demands for
preserving the health and comfort
of our fighting men, our nurses and
all others in the field. This de-
mand is even more urgent now
than ever. ~
The following reasons have been
sent out by the state committee rs
an urgent reminder Of -hOw Aeces,
taAxy y 10 that these fdnds be- sfais-
| led: y
i. Because the various ssUaniEa-
tions represented BY the United
War Work campaign have already
expended far larger amount than
they had at first expected, this be
ing 0ccasioned by the ever increas.
ing. size of the army sent abroad
and to the camps of this country.
Whereas the government had an.
ticipated having 100000 men in
France by November l., we now
have over 100000 men overseas.
2. The money asked for in this
campaign is not only for future
needs, but also to meet obligations
incurred in anticipation of this
campaign.
8. If the period of demobiliza-
tiOn shall not be q period of de.
mOralizatiOn the money will be
needed even more than ever should
the war continue. An Italian gen.
eral once said that the danger of
Decentralization lies chiefly with the
side that Is victorious. The time
to fear is when drill ceases, disci-
pline is relaxed and the goal is
won. Temptations multiply when
leisure increases.
4 The organizations interested
have planned great educational
program among our more than two
million men in France during the
months of peace negotiations, and
also during the many months which
will elapse before the men are fin
ally sent home Military experts
calculate this will require about
two years. Several thousand edu-
cational directors, college presi-
dents, college professors, high
school educators, business men
will be sent over to direct this edu-
cational program. Three hundred
of these have recently gone. Five
million dollars will be required for
text books The American library
association will find the $3,5OO,O00
in their budget woefully made
quate.
S. After four years of destruc-
tion, q period of reconstruction will
require the best efforts and ener-
gies of these seven organizations.
This will involve the maintenance
of an army abroad to assist in the
policing of Europe for the purpose
of recognizing and reconstructing
the disorganized social forces and
the continuing work of these seven
organizations for which this cam
paign is conducted. will be imper.
ative.
g. The appeal for money includes
work on behalf OF the American
girls who have been sent to France
as nurses, motor drivers, telephone
operators, stenographers, laun-
dresses, and Others performing var
ieties of service.
Remember, the war is not over
until our boys are all home again.
We must stand by them until they
return. Therefore, Colorado has
