300 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander EVangeIine Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangeline Booth, lead
er of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for France. The request
Is contained in a report just received
by her from Col. William A. Barker
OF the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over a year ago to es-
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
1--WE will do all we can TO fiji this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign. land the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlarging
the war relief work of the seven or
CARNATIONS, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for a drive for
funds. Each is vital cog in a vast
machine for human relief. and each is
indispensable, serving its particular
elements in its own way

that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.

we toll on a practical basis. We learn

Boer war, when we stood at the side

by fire, and the mothers and fathers
of America, as in other countries, trust
the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like TO do for their men If
they but had the chance

front, operating from 400 huts and

Dear Mother arrived safely in

soon got over it. / came over with

about. They sure were a sick bunch.
They had never travelled around very
much and did not know how to take
care of themselves. They call this a
rest camp, but there is no rest here.
Of course am not kicking, for / know
the work has to be done. We are GO
ing from here in a few days to the
interior of France somewhere. /
could tell you but wont tell it now.
This sure is a fine looking country
around here. 1t is all cut into what
we call garden spots and has hedges
of dirt four feet high thrown up and
it is all covered with grass, bushes
and bIiers. They raise mostly vege-
tables here, sugar beets being the
principal thing. They make sugar
out of these beets. They raise some
hay and wheat in this section also.
The worst objection here is that it
rains about every two or three hours,
but it is only on the coast that it
rains so much. From what / have
seen of the French people, they are
good people, but not as industrious
as | expected to find them. They are
mostly women and children, their men
practically all having gone TO war.
The women have to do most of the
work. Nearly all of them wear wood
en- shoes. Very little leather is used
by the common people of France now.
1t looks as if the war might be
over in a few months, and hope so,
if we can have it on our own terms.
Guess it will be long time before
you get this letter. Don't be uneasy
about me, for l will write as often
as can. Hoping this will find every
