Monday morning will see the
opening of the United War Work
Campaign, asking the people of the
United States to subscribe the sum
Of $3.50. OO0, 900 to enable the diff.
ferent war activities to continue
their good work.
The organizations which partici-
pate in this drive are: the Young
Mems Christian Association, the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton. War Camp Community Ser.
vice, American Library Association,
National Catholic War Council,
Jewish Welfare Board and the Sal
walton Army. Each of these diff
ferent organizations has been recog-
nized by the War Department as
doing the very best kind Of work
for the boys in the training camps
and in the trenches and at the sug-
gestion Of President Wilson all are
making a united drive to obtain
funds with which to continue the
good work which they have been
doing since the beginning of the
war. To recite in few words Just
~hat these great organizations are
doing, for it would be impossible in
our limited space to relate in detail,
we can only say that the principal
work OF all of them is to send vour
boy back home to you cleaner and
better boy than when he left you'll
ls this not worth any and every
sacrifice that the fathers and moth
ers OF America can make? Is it not
worth every sacrifice that any one
can make. whether they have sons
or relatives in the army or not to |
know that the soldiers-your boys
and my bOys-who are fighting the
battles Of liberty, are being we'll |
provided with home comforts, and |
that they will return, morally and |
otherwise, better men than when |
they left home, and will assist in
the building Of greater and better
country? Don't think for moment |
because it now looks as if the war
is about over, that these organiza-
tiOns are unnecessary or that they
do not need money. The need for
money will now be greater than
ever; the work of rehabilitation
will be as great as the work of mo-
bilization.
II the people of America only
knew the work the men and women
Of these organizations are doing for
their boys at home ard abroad, they
would not stand back waiting for
some one to request them to sub
scribe money to help the good work,
but would 60 to the nearest solicitor
