CAMPAIGN TODAY

Mothers pie, the kind that this saint
OF the family made for her boy at

the satisfaction with which John or
VIII asked for second piece-that is
the kind Of comfort that the Salvation
Army lassies are providing for Uncle
sans boys IN France Beginning TODAY
the salvation Army is inaugurafing a
campaign 20 raise $1,000 in this city
with whicsh 90 continue the work they
have been doing right back Of the flght-
ms lines abroad The $1,000 is a part
OF the campaign to raise Si,000OO0 in
THIS country and is the sum appor-
toned to this city and Delaware
Because Of their fearlessness and also
through their faith that a divine Provi-
dence will protect them. the salvation
Army workers sometimes venture onto
battletelds, where their escape from
injury or death is nothing but the in
teiNention Of the Supreme Being Work
and service are the watchwords with
which they are imbued, and in all that
they do there is no duplication Of the
work Of the Y NJ. C.. A. or any other
war charity
The making Of pies-The American
KIND Of pasiry-is but one OF the many
little creature comforts the lassies are
doing for our boys in the trenches.
That It's a popular form Of service
cannot be doubted. The lassies can
never make enough OF the pies. and re-
ports from France state that there is
always a rush for the hutments. as
the salvation Army workers style their
temporary quarters wherever they are
stationed, when the men are relieved
from trench duty.

Company is the local treasurer Of the
