Especial to The Gate City.l
DIES MONIES, Nov. 16.-With only
$3,1S7000 of its $6,133,000 quota in
the united war work campaign raised
and with only two days left before
| the closing date of the big drive,
1owa's reputation for nberality hangs
in the balance tonight.
Between now and Monday night the
state must raise as much as 1t has
raised in the past five days IL it is
to go over the top on time.
That peace makes even more i'm
perative the need OF the seven allied
organizations for the one hundred
million seven hundred thousand
dollars fund is emphasized by Pro-
vost Marshal Crowder in a wire re-
ceived at state headquarters this
morning. He says:
New governments are not formed
in day nor can they be established
at the magic word of command. The
period of reorganization and rehabili-
tation has to be gone through with.
During this time allied soldiers will
have to be policemen of the world.
They have mems work before them.
Unless the united war work agencies
can make their camps, shows, motion
lpictures and athletic sports so at
tractive that our boys will accept the
clean amusement offered, these well
fare organizations will not have met
the supreme test of efficiency. They
cannot do this unless the American
people promptly and generously re-
plenish their war chest They are
at the front looking after our boys.
We cannot refuse to hold up our
end We must see that our soldiers
have every safeguard. Now is our
opportunity to secure it for them"
