CAMPAIGN REOPENED
Workers Renew Efforts Following
Close of Loan Drive.

The efforts OF all W. S. S. work.
ers in the District Of Columbia have
been brought together by Director
D. J. Callahan in a statement issued
last night.
Now that the to-be-re-
membered successful drive for the
Third Liberty Loan subscription is

says Director Callahan, in his state
ment to both war savings workers
and war savers, 'it behooves us to
again get behind our work for the
continuance of the sale OF War Saw
ings Stamps in the District.
Every man, woman and child

in our campaign, placing US second
in the list OF the States of the
Union. but We must not be content
until we are on top. leading the en-
tire country"
Many new stunts are being
planned by Director Callahan to
keep the w. S. S. drive before the
public. Every bank and trust COM
pany in the city will receive with
in the next few days a sign to be
placed over the window at which

the Treasury and the owners will

No. e1-Keep Hoeing. Gardeners!
The gardeners greatest friend is
the hoe. without It he would be
lost and with 1t he can do more to
help his vegetables along than In
any other way, says today's bulle-
tin from the National War Garden
Commission Of Washington.
The greatest discoveries are US
ually the simplest, after their truth
is once revealed. Nothing has done
more to further the science of
farming than the discovery OF the
fact that II you Keep stirring up
the soil around a plant It grows
and produces better. Therefore,
there can be no better advice for
the gardener than this: keep hoe
ing, hoe some more and then some.
Frequent hoeing will save much
water and Is better Tor the plants.
The reason for this Is that the dust
cover or mulch" as 1t is called.
which Is formed by the breaking up
of the surface soil into fine par
ticles, keeps the moisture in the
soil down around the roots of the
plants from evaporating.

as capillary attraction" The same

These words, spoken by one OF
the examining physicians in the re-

individual on the wrong track.
Not since that day two months
ago has Moses done a lick Of work,
because he took the doctor at his
word.
He was too weak to work-not
only in trench-but anywhere

Goodness knows that the work
he had been doing was harder than
fighting-but of course 1t did not

BIG WORK DONE
BY SALVATION
ARMY AT FRONT
Miss Booth Says Organize
ton Has 400 Huts Along
a Firing Line.

Miss Evangeline Booth. national
commander Of the American Saliva
ton Army. in Washington for her lee
ture on THE Stars and Stripes at
the Belasco Theater this afternoon,
yesterday told of the work being done
by the Salvation Army on the battle
fronts Of Europe. There are great
opportunities for the, work of the
Salvation Army in France" said
Commander Booth, and as our only
ambition is to be OF service to the
troops our efforts there have met with
exceptional success"
Miss Booth is herself making prep
arations for her departure in July for
France. where she will inspect the
work Of the Salvation Army there.
and cheer and encourage the workers
to greater efforts. With an array of
figures at her immediate command
Miss Booth described the surprising
extent of the war work being done
by the Salvation Army. There are, :"
said the Commander, $1,000 active
Salvationists in the trenches In France
with also more than 100000 adherents
among the men In the service"
Risk Lives I'm Good Work.
Miss Booth praised the Salvation Of
ficers for risking their lives daily in
doing into the trenches and dugouts
to carry apple pies, doughnuts and
coffee to the fighting men. She de-
scribed the Salvationist Classics"
mending the socks Of the soldiers and
entertaining them with music, games
and refreshments in the 400 huts
maintained In France and Belgium by
the Salvation Army. She declared
that the value of the work done by
the Salvationist officers, none Of
whom are OF military age. Is fully
appreciated by the soldiers. General
Pershing himself in a recent state
ment to Secretary Baker having de-
clared that the work of the Salvation
Army on the battlefield was of great
value and Importance.
She spoke proudly OF the women
OF the Salvation Army who were
the first on the field of battle. hav-
ing been in France since one week
| after the declaration of war by
England. and with the American
Expeditionary Forces since the ar
rival of the first contingent. Three
hundred thousand of the allied
troops attend the religious serv-
ices OF the Salvation Army every
| week." declared Miss Booth.
The Salvation Army maintains
forty ambulances in constant serv-
| ice. which have already carried
from the firing line to the rear
more than 100000 wounded allied
soldiers. according to Miss Booths
statement.
Reasons for Success.
The reason for the great success
of the Salvationist war work was
thus given by Miss Booth: I'VE
have met with exceptional success
because of our practical methods"
she declared. The military train
! ing which our workers have had,
making them accustomed to hard
ship and privation. together with
I their deeply religious character.
gives them an earnest sincerity,
which, as one soldier expressed it.
/ gets under the skim"
Miss Booth is at present stationed
at the national headquarters Of the
army in New York. from where she
is directing a drive in New York
City for s250,000 with which to
carry on the Salvationist war work.
