on the way.
ssToo much can not be said Of the
action of Ben G. Davis, who certainly
showed that, though young, he is all

of William G. Book was also very
commendable.

height. according to F. j. Lohgren,

County Chairman Brown in Strong Ap-
peal Urges the People to Give
Literally to Comfort Ct
Our Boys.

- C. Brown, county chairman for
the united war work, made parucu'
larry pointed address at the union
K thanksgiving meeting at the First
/ Westminster Presbyterian church last
night. He said in part:
Nothing could be more fortunate
for the united war work than that
the signing OF the armistice should
have come just as we were entering
on our active campaign. We are all
so thankful for peace and are wish
ing to give expression to that thauk-
fulness. Yelling, ringing bells and
marching is one form Of expression.
but it is a sign of JOY rather than
of thanksgiving. We must express
that in a deeper and more lasting
way.
"Ours has been an easy time in
this war as compared with our allies.
whose territory has been invaded.
We have lived about as usual In COM
fort and In safety. Some OF our al
lies have barely existed. For our
favored condition we must in humility
and in gratitude express thanksgiv-
ing, In q material way.
1.-The united budget OF the screen
war agencies, Is s170,500,oo0, the
largest sum ever asked OF any people
for a similar work. And yet, ny
friends, that budget is not big enough
for the task which is yet before US.
The budget was made when there
were only one million American sol
diers in Europe, and st time when
these agencies only cared fol the
boys half the time
Two Million Soldiers
Now there are more than two III.
lion soldiers overseas and We must
look after them all the time, and as
DR. Lamont says, believe me. that's
some Job to keep two million boys
out of mischief.
''The men in France are going to
watch the returns of this campaign
and they are going to see If we are
honest in all we say of our apprecia-
ton Of what they have done II the
budget Is over subscribed they are
going to say, well the folks at home
do know all we've gone through and
they are back of u.s.
1--WE must carry on and we must
not fail in the last hour. This Is
unique campaign IN that 1t includes
the war activities OF seven agencies,
Catholic and Protestant, Jew and
gentle, meeting on common foot
ing OF devotion TO the boys who have
brought US national victory and to
the world the right Of self govern
ment
THE spirit Of the agencies on the
field is best illustrated by the Cath
Ole boy who, when wounded unto
death, asked the ministry OF chap
lain of his own faith. No priest being
near, he asked for a protestant chap
lain. but there was none near, but
there was a young Jewish rabbi who
found a cruciflx which he held before
the eyes OF the boy as they grew dim
20 the scenes Of earth.
'Reverently the rabbi prayed to
the Father of US all and laid the cru
cifix above the stilled heart. In
spirit of equal unity and devotion we
will give generously to the cam
paign."
