Kansas City about three hours and then
we were off again. The weather kept
getting warmer as we travelled farther
south: the leaves were all on the trees
and we saw several green fields of win

were not as nice as our farm homes in
Minnesota. Most Of the houses we saw
were small negro huts, with few dirty

CAMPAIGN Nj ! MUST SUCCEED
Patriotic Task Before American
People, Says Mortimer schiff.

Mortimer L. Schiff, Chairman FL.
nance Committee, Jewish Welfare
Board, Member Executive Committee,
United War Work Campaign, says:
"The end of hostilities in Europe will
not mean the sudden cessation of war
welfare work. Our soldiers and sail
ors are from three to six thousand
miles away from their own people,
and it will take more than IL months
to get them back home again. This
long period, when the grim duties. of
warfare are suspended and restraints
are generally relaxed, will present
greatest need for our work. There is
no patriotic task before the American
people just now more important than
that of whole-heartedly putting the
United War Work Campaign over tho
top"

When he gets through fighting, let's
show him what we think of what he
has done! Don't let anyone tell you
that the work of these seven organiza-
t1ons will be over when the war is
over. That's when their greatest
value will come.
Today every energy OF your fighter
Is bent on victory. And when it comes,
when the strain Of training and fight
Ing is over-then will come his reac-
t1on. That's when he will need most
the entertainment and diversion sup.
piled by these organizations. That's
when he will want movies and con.
csrts and ball-games and track meets
to keep up his spirits in the inevitable
delay before he comes home.
Don't forget that it will take many
months to bring back our army from
France.
Plans for the work Of these organi.
zattons during the period of demobili
zation were mapped out long before
the prospect of peace was even al
near as it is today.
There will be a regular university
IN khaki i'm France, for one thing
Our fighters will be able to make
profitable use of their leisure-to fit
themselves for bigger things when
they get back into civil life, for better
Jobs. They have learned to learn in
the army and navy. Text books, lee,
lures and class-rooms must be pro
vided to help them prepare for ad
vancement after they return. The
country's greatest educators are in
uniform now, ready for this work.
And besides, don't forget that we all
are going to owe the integrity of ou1
country to your fighter and the boys
like him. We sent them away with a
cheer. We are going to welcome them
home with roar! And we are golng
to look after them just as carefully
all the way back as we looked after
them all the way over.
Whenever peace comes, the hardest
Job of these seven organizations will
come with it. The nearer it comes
the more you must give.

Weeks s Food Fact

DO NOT STOP SAVING FOOD.
The Austrian armistice has thrown the
Mediterranean open to safe shipping.
This means that wheat from India and
Australia will be available. The COM
ing Of peace may release the wheat
market Of the world but corn, rye, bar
ley and fats will be needed greatly.
One hundred million animals have been
lost to the Allies during the war.
Herds have been depleted The meat
and fat supply must come in large
quantities from America. Peace will
bring an added 1S0,0O0OOO starving
peoples to our Thanksgiving table.
The boys and girls Of Minnesota dur
ing this past year have helped greatly
against this day, and it's needs.
Through their pig and calf clubs they
have added $4,000 pounds to the meat
production of the state. SAVE WITH

Camp Cody is nice place; it is quite

almost impossible to see anything, but
we do not have them oftener than once
a week during the winter and only one
or two during the whole summer. The
nights are cold, so in the morning when
we get up we put all the clothes we can
get ahOld OF on us. We have all been
issued good heavy overcoats and they
are mighty nice to get into in the morn
mgs; after the sun gets up it warns up
pretty fast so after ten o'clock we can
throw our coats and sweaters and run
around in our shirt sleeves
x Army life is dandy, after a fellow
gets used to it. It certainly hardens a
fellow in. If person is looking for an
easy time, he better not try to get in
the army. We have about eight hours
drill every day, except Sundays, and
have all kinds Of exercises imaginable,
which all go to develop our muscles.
There were many stiff joints and sore
backs the morning after our first day
out on the field. but now everybody is
getting pretty well limbered up, so now
we rather enjoy it.

In contrast to the situation in Ger

CHICAGO. May 1s.-War against the

Germany was proposed in correspond
ence between James NJ. Slovick and
William D. Haywood. according to evil
dence introduced at the trial Of 112
leaders of the organization today by
Claude R Porter, special prosecutor.
When the final break with Germany
seemed imminent, SIoyic, secretary Of
the marine transport workers and q
defendant in the trial for violation Of
the espionage act, proposed a general
strike as one means Of combating
Americas war program. and asserted
that the organization would become
other central power allies, as well as
pacifcists and conscientious objectors.
Would "Muster Quite an Army"
Like little brooks streaming into
one channel. our organization would
swell into one grand river" wrote
Slovick "All in all. we could muster
quite an army. There are in this
country Germans. Austrians. Hunga-
rians. Bulgarians and some Irish.
who for patriotic reasons. II you
please. will be willing to fight this
government.
I'm case war is declared the capital
lists of the country must have re-
course to conscription and we must
fight such a measure. In consequence.
our organization will stand in danger
Of being completely destroyed. But,
granting that the I. w. w. ideas cannot
be killed. we will persist in keeping
alive and being the nightmare to the
robbing class"

tional document. which was seized

tually completed presentation of per-
sonal correspondence Of leading east

In his correspondence with Hay
wood, general secretary-treasurer.
Slovick pointed out that "the anarS
chists. socialists and radicals among
the trades unions are bound to rally
about u.s." He urged an immediate
meeting Of leaders to form a concrete
plan of action and laid special stress
on the value OF anti-war propaganda.
It was Slovick, too. who few weeks
before the governments nationwide
raid warned Haywood Of its certainty
and advised that records be removed
from the various headquarters SO that
the !. w. W. could continue its work.
I'VE are taking necessary steps.
Haywood replied, adding that he realized
1t was only a matter Of time until the
government "swoops down upon US"
Prior to the reading Of the Slovick
correspondence the government put into
the records copies Of letters between
John Baldazzi, Italian revolutionist, and
Haywood. in which the former proposed
an amalgamation with all revolutionary
parties in the warning nations. He
pointed out that the weakness Of these
bodies. as result Of the war strain,
would make it easy for the /. w. w. to
