IN the camps at home. Provost Marshal
Goneral Crowder in a statement on the
United War Work Campaign said yes
terday:
There Is some fear on the part OF
the directors of the United War Work
Campaign that the American people
may fail to give the proper support to
the great drive now going on because
Of the feeling that the war is over and
there is little or no necessity for future
large contributions This feeling ought
not TO exist.
"Now tho incentive of lighting Is re-
moved the excitement and glamor OF war
are gone. Many OF the men have gone
safely over the stern period of active
warfare, but they may now succumb
10 the relaxations incident to cessation
OF active hostilities.
Now comes the important work of
these organizations, now the trial OF
their value to the American eeiaier II
they can make their camps, their huts.
their shows. their motion PICTURES. their
athletic sports 30 attractive that the
boys will seek the clean amusement
afforded by them they will have met the
supreme test Of efficiency. They cannot
do this unless the American people
promptly and generously replenish their
war chests"

Appeal by A. g. Bedford.
4. c. Bedford Brooklyn chairman Of
the citizens committee made the follow
ing appeal yesterday: with the drive
for the United War Work more than
half over Brooklyn has contributed less
than 81 900 900 OF the $4,000. 900 that Is
its quota. With but three days left Il
Is necessary that another 100000 be
rnised. This will mean intensive and
un"easing work, But It can be done.
Speakers in this campaign have
iterated and reiterated that although an
armistice has been signed, the needs of
the boys over there are as great az ever.
The time has come when Il should be
made plain that these needs are much
greater than ever before. 1t will prob
ably be n year or longer before any
large number Of these boys return. They
have no great Job on hand now; the
period OF reaction has not begun, the
dangerous period.
THE time Is short, but Irooklyn's rec
ord Of splendid achievement in support
ing the great war we have won leads me
TO believe that II is not too short. You
are proud of the Brooklyn boys that
have laid down their lives IN the great
cause abroad; proud OF the great num-
her that are to return 10 their homes
Are We going TO see TO II that they are
proud of us? ! urge you to assist the
committee in this vital matter"
