The END OF The WAR NEAR

EVEN BOLSHEVIKIS WANT PEACE
BOYS AND
VICTORY GIRLS
Their Cnance iii The United War
Drive Next Week

In the United States War Work
Campaign projected for Nov II TO
18, the boys from II to 20 years of
age are in separate though cooper
ating and assisting division, called the
Victory Boys Earn and Give Divis-
ion. The girls are in a parallel div
ision. This is to give the young peo-
pie q chance to realize their duty in
aiding to carry home comforts to our
soldiers, sailors, and marines; and to
bring to them the fact that they as
the men and women of tomorrow
are largely to reap the benefits
Of the great sacrifices being made
by our present defenders. Whatever
the young people give is to be paid by
the Victory Boys town leader in
each town to the treasurer of the
general committee for that town.
They are to be given an opportunity
to give $5 to the work, or such sum
as they can earn and spare before
March 1st, next; or they may give
money heretofore earned. No boy or
girl is to be asked to give more than
he and his or her parents feel that
he can earn and afford; but it seems
to the committees that an able-bodied
boy OF girl ought to be able to earn
and spare $5. This will bring the
home comforts to a fighter for five
weeks. 1t is urged that each boy OF
girl dedicate his gift to some soldier,
sailor, or marine of his acquaintance
and at once write to him that he has
done SO and wish him Godspeed in his
work and sacrifice for US in the cause
of liberty and justice.

and girls of the ages given living il

In the~work of the whole Unitct
War Work Campaign we should no
overlook the fact that, because of tn,
increase in our army and navy $3.50,
100000 is necessary instead of th'
| $175, 100000 first estimated; ant
that, if peace comes, it is even more
necessary than in actual war. 1t will
take from one to two years to ge
our boys home again.
