There are many reasons why keo-
kuk should oyersubscrlbe her quota
to the united war work campaign.
The service OF these seven organt-
zaIions follow the soldiers and sailors
from the time they leave their homes,
while they are in transit, while they
are at the training camps, large and
small, while they are on their way 10

at those ports, while on the sea, dur

agencies, makes an army OF l5,0Oo,
and General Pershing is asking that
more workers be sent at the rate OF
at least 1000 month

their actual living expenses IL single,
and those who have families are
given an allowance approximately
equal to the pay Of a second iieuten-
ant. TO cover their own and their
family expenses
More than $500 separate buildings
! have been either erected or rented to
make possible this huge work. In
addition there are hundreds Of
garages. huts and dugouts in use.
Spirit Of the Movement
The spirit of these seven organtza-
lions is to surround the boys with
the influence that was best In his
life at home.
Difference of creed does not divide
men who are fighting and dying to-
gether, their great common faith ts
the fatherhood Of God.
In camps and cantonments here
and over there, and on the SHIPS OF
our fighting fleets, there are 1853
libraries and this number should be
vastly Increased
Every month the boys use in writ
ing home 125, 900 sheets of stationery
and a half million dollars is kept tied
up all the time in postage stamps.
An average of hundred of the
best actors and actresses in America
are touring the huts in France all the
