Chairman Thom Explains
Importance of United
War Fund Now.

Washington campaign headquarters
for the largest war fund the Ameri-
can people have ever been asked 10
contribute, with the exception OF the
liberty loan, were opened yesterday
at 1924 F street and are now running
at full speed The event was the
throwing open of the local central
Offices of the United War Work cam
paign for s17O, 10000 for the care of
Americas fighting forces Seven
great organizations have united in
the drive-the Y. NJ. c, A, Y. W. C.
A. National Catholic War Council.
Jewish Welfare Board, Salvation
Army, War Camp Community Service
and American Liberty Association.
Corcoran Thorn. vice president of the
American Security and Trust Com
pany, is chairman of the local COM
mittee. which has various subcorn-
mittees covering every aspect CT the
campaign.
Merger Wilson'S Suggestion.
At President Wilson's suggestion,
the seven organizations, each con-,
Quoting needed war work among the
men in uniform, merged in the Joint
campaign. Within fifteen minutes
after the seven organizations had re-
ceived word that 1t was the Presi-
dents wish that they get together,
telephone messages were beng ex-
changed which resulted in Joint
conference at which all thought of
sect or creed were cast aside
John r. Mott, international secre-
tary OF the Y. NJ. c. A, was chosen
as director general of the campaign.
George W. Perkins. of international
note as a f1nancier. was made chair
man of the joint financial committee.
The treasurer OF the united campaign
is Cleveland H. Dodge. Others COM
posing the campaign committee are:
Mrs. Henry P. Dawson, John q. Agar.
James J. Phelan, Mortimer I. SchiHf,
Myron T. Herrick, Frank Vandarlip.
George Gordon Battle. John ID.
Rockefeller, jr.. and Raymond B. Fos-
dick.
Mr.. Thorn. chairman OF the Wash
ingtOn committee. when requested
for a statement, said. The question
that will be most frequently asked
is, Isn't it risky to follow the Lib
erty loan so closely with a cam
paign like the United Drive?'
THE answer is that the things
that the big Liberty loans are pro-
viding for the men in uniforms
make it absolutely imperative for
this war fund to be raised. The
loans mean many more men and so
many more guns and so much more
of every other fighting equipment
for our boys over there.
Relieve Discipline.
Another question is. Why, then,
does not the government do it?
This answer is plain. If the gov
eminent did It. it would have to be
done under military direction. There
must be some place and something
that relieves a man from the strain
of military discipline. The work Of
these organizations is the only
thing that can do it. Then for the

HOW GERMANS TREAT OWN
Man Repatriated From England
Writes His Friend He Regrets 1t
And Warns Him

London, July 17-Germans who are
sent back to Germany after having
been informed in England. are shocke
at the treatment they receive and at
conditions prevailing in their father
land. This is shown by letters re-
ceived by friends from some Of the
prisoners who have been repatriated.
"About 10 o'clock in the morning"
writes one, 1--WE left for the good old
fatherland. The first stop we made
was at Goch, in Germany, where we
were kept six days for examination.
From there I was sent to Dortmund,
where l was forced by the military to
work in munition factory. l stuck
it out for three days.
"Well, you know in whs5 condition
I was when I left England. had to
handle hundred pounds of shells and
more. tried my best, but was not
strong enough for the work, so the
third day | told them | was weak and
left the place.
81 was then ordered to do only gov
eminent work, as otherwise should
be taken for the army. Well, l thought
this took the cake, after being in
termed three and a half years. l
thought would get my liberty in the
fatherland, but I really was worse off
than at the English camp.

I could, and on the night of the -

you would have done the same.

DISCIPLINE UNDERMINED
Lack of Food and Clothing Among
German Soldiers Responsible for
Heavy Casualty Lists.

Semi-official reports to the French
embassy in Washington indicate
growing lack of discipline in the Ger
man armies. Copies of documents re-
Gently found on the persons of Ger
man soldiers taken captive by the
French indicate this. One is an order
by General Narwitz, dated June I,
which is translated:
discipline, which is the keystone
of our army, has been seriously under
mined. I cannot permit commanders
to take the responsibility of overlook
ing, through excessive indulgences,
breaches of discipline and military
rules in officers and underofficers and
men. I cannot permit them to inf1ict
too light a penalty or even not to
nunish at all" xilE5
A second order of similar nature,
dated June ~, has also been taken.
Lack Of food and clothing is respon-
sible for the tremendous German
casualty lists, according to the story
of Georges Balmet and Georges Ar
maud, two French soldiers belonging
to the Sixth Company of the Fifty
second Battalion Of Alpine Light In
fantry. They were prisoners in the
hands of the Germans for several days
but escaped to their own lines. Their
report has just been received at the
French war mission here.
They were used at Oulchy to bury
the. dead from the hospitals there.
They report that while there were
about an equal number of French and
German wounded in the hospitals and
the presumption would be that the
Huns would make greater effort to
save their own men, yet there were
between thirty and forty bodies OF
German soldiers for burial each day to
only few French. The two men were
told by German stretcher-bearer
that the French were we'll nourished
and consequently robust and so were
able to bear the operations necessary
and rally to quick recoveries, but that
the Germans were in such a state OF
physical exhaustion from malnutrl-
ton and improper clothing that they
were unable to resist even the most
minor operations.

u. S. HOSPITAL BOMBED
Huns Deliberately Drop Death On
Red Cross Institution.

Paris, July 17.-German aviators, at
II o'clock Monday night, dropped
bombs on the American Red Cross
Hospital at Jouy. Two enlisted men
were killed and among the personnel
nine persons were wounded. Miss
Jane Jeffrey, an American Red Cross
nurse, was among those wounded,
though her injuries are not serious.
The hospital was deliberately bomb
ed by the German aviators. 1t was
full of wounded, and doctors were
performing operations at four tables.
The operations continued notwith-
standing the explosions.
At least three bombs were dropped.
One destroyed three tents. Addition
al doctors were telephoned for i'm
mediately, and the work of the hos
pital was continued without Interrupt
ton.
Further east, in the region of Cha
Ions, it was a busy night for the per-
sonnet of the American Red Cross,
hospitals being evacuated and wound
ed being searched for along the road.
To the 1000 beds at the American
army field hospitals in this neighbor-
hood supplies of bandages, ether, ETC..
were delivered from Paris within ~
hours.
C. S. Wheeler, representative of the
American Red Cross at Jouy, left for
the Paris headquarters this morning.
