Barre, Oct. 22-The week of Nov
ember 11-18 will mark the progress
of the greatest free-will Offering
campaign in the history Of mankind.
In that period seven organizations,
the Y. NJ. C. A, the National Cath
olic War Council tx. of c., the Y.
w. C. A., the Jewish Welfare Board,
the American Library Association,
the Salvation Army and the War
Camp Community Service, acting to-
gether under the head of the United
War Work Campaign, will seek to
raise $170,500,000 with which to car
ry on their work of helpfulness
among the soldiers and sailors az
home and overseas.
The amalgamation Of all forces
came as the result Of request from.
President Wilson. Accordingly Pro-
testant and Catholic, Jew and Cen
tile, will stand on q common ground
in the interest of common cause.
Vermont's share in this great un-
dertainkg is $500,000, and if the re-
! cord of the old Green Mountain state
since war broke out is sustained the
quota will be oversubscribed. Plans
| for the drive are rapidly approaching
completion and once under way it
will be found that every town has an
active working organization to as
sist in raising its quota.
The personnel of the state organl-
cation, recently completed, includes
some of the most experienced wal
work campaigners in Vermont, and
in every town it is hoped that the
directing committees may be able to
profit by the assistance of men and
women whose energy and enthusiasm
has been applied in previous cam
paigns. The state organization com
