This amalgamation of the seven great agen cies engaged in war work Is one ot the fine developments which have been brought about by the war and under ] the wise guidance Of President Wilson. The seven orga-iizati f which to- gether will make this rDited appeal are the Y. M c. A.. Y. ". C. A., Ma. tional Catholic War younci, and K. of C., the Jewish Welfare, Board, the War Camp Community Service, the American Library Association and the Salvation Army. Each of them will ] need funds this Fall: each had planned 1 "a separate campaign for support. Now, acting on tl. suggestion of the Presidents letter of September 5, the seven campaigns will be rolled into one. The American people will be i spared the burden of seven separate appeals, and the nation will have an l opportunity to demonstrate splendidly that men and women of all creeds at home can work together, as men of all creeds over there are fighting and dying together.
 Dr. John R. Mott, whom President Wilson has spoken of as one of the ablest and most useful men of his gen. eration, has been selected Director General of the drive. It is interesting to note that Dr. Mott's name was placed in nomination by John G. Agar Of the National Catholic War Council snd seconded by Mortimer L. Schiff of
 Jewish Welfare Board. The gen. cal committee having the campaign In charge contains such we'll known names as Raymond B. Fosdick, Chair. man of the Commission on Training Camp Activities; George w. Perkins, Chairman of the Finance Committee of the U. s. Steel Corporation; James F. Phelan of Hornblower and Weeks ; Honorable Myron T. Herrick, former ambassador to France; Cleveland RI. Dodge, George Gordon Battle, Mrs. Henry P. Davisoa and Frank A. Van oerlip. president of the National City Bank.
 In every city, county and town the campaign will be in charge of the big sest men of the community.
 Together these seven organizations represent a work that is staggering in lts proportions. They have more than lo'Ooo uniformed workers, standing shoulder to shoulder with the boys ev- cry Step of the way from home to the 1lont line trenches. They operate more 'nan $500 buildings and ship 800 tons ol supplies to the boys in France ev, FEY week. Fifteen miles of film set sall TOT the other side each week un~ uer their direction, and the regular weekly attendance of soldiers and sail ois at their motion picture shows is more than 2,500,OOO. The Bibles fur Mshed to the boys since the wsr broke out would, t piled one on another, high. "ss ~
