Men Are superb
at is a sight that one never for
gets, to go into a Y hut, whether 1t Is
a makeshift shack on the front lines
or the great Eagle hut of London, and
sec the room or rooms packed full Of
soldiers, happy and contented," rom
tlnued DR.. Bagnell. Besides, all this
has a real war value. The better state
OF mind men are in, the better their
morale. One of the most remarkable
things about the American troops, sol
diers and sailors, is their morale. and
these great agencies including the
Red Cross, are III large part respons-
iblo for IL.
"One thing 1 a to emphasize, is
the character of the men n women
who are carrying on this work. Nc
set of men and women that have gone
to France surpass them. For sense
and courage and character they are
superb"
DR.. Bagnell paid a glowing tribute
to the splendid coordination and CO.
operation of all the war relief agen-
c.es. There is no overlapping Inc
there is the finest feeling everywhere
It is very appropriate that the appeal
to the country should be a united APP
peal.
Finally, 1t is of the utmost impor-
lance to note that while 1t is true the
war is drawing to a close, it is also
true that the work of these organiza-
lions becomes. if possible, more Inn
portant. 1t will be two years before
our boys get back" Doctor Bagnell
concluded. "It will be a time of let
up, a time of peculiar temptations. We
must not only safeguard bur boys, but
we must make these months count in
a great educational way. Plans al
ready are we'll under way for the pur-
pose. They have been approved by the
government and every man will have
a chance to prepare himself by study
and experience for q very much larger
and finer usefulness when he returns
home than would have been possible
under other conditions"
Tells of Soldier Need
E. ]. Stackpole. district chairman.
made a stirring appeal for the sup
port of the seven war relief agen-
cies. He declared that 1t is highly
essentially that money be contrib
uted so hat there will be proper
facilities to furnish the soldiers with
occupations and a renewed chance in
civil life when they return from the
front.
Mr.. Stackpole also urged that
everything possible be done to en-
sure a pleasant Thanksgiving for the
soldiers now in France. 1t is through
the seven war relief organizations
associated in the United War Work
Campaign. he reminded the team cap
tains, that the lot of the soldier is
made as homelike as possible.

dressed the meeting on the urgency
of supporting the United War Work
fund.
